1. Looks like Bushco should have gone elsewhere for Repub lovefest!

Wow- Thanks for posting, I was wondering if the NYC protests would get much coverage. So far, the coverage has greatly exceeded my expectations.

It's beautiful in action, isn't it! :)

4. That's one of the better NYC cam sites

I've been following it for days and it really is good. Wonderful angle at 6th and 34th. You can see the volume of the march is vast!

12. If I hadn't injured my knee, I'd have been there.

The bad news is that I never thought of a wheel chair, until I saw one, and feeling mighty *sad. :(
The good news is that the rest of my family is there, and feeling mighty proud! :)

*stupid :silly:

5. Wonderful interviews on the street in the midst of the parade too!

CSpan is now interviewing people in street who are fantastically eloquent and thoughtful in their remarks. Impressive with lots of older protestors as well as younger ones and all look very thrilled to be participating-

"Everyone here is peaceful and just waiting for our chance to vote"- great statement just made by one woman.

[Paradise]

10. We've got something to be proud of today! :) n/t

11. I didn't think so! :) n/t

23. How about THIS for a poll!!!!!! n/t

[Minimus]

13. interviewed guy from NC

what an idiot. He was saying something about "be strong, vote Bush for four more years" How is that being strong.

14. Haven't seen this since nam war! n/t

[Misskittycat]

15. There was a large Nixon "counter-Inauguration"

on the Mall in Washington DC on Jan. 20, 1973. I went to George Washington University which is just blocks away, so I could easily attend lots of demonstrations.

18. unjustified wars will do that to people! n/t

16. I was asking myself...

the same question. There were a few election years that I lived outside the USA -but I don't recall anything like what we are seeing today and I've been around since FDR.

17. Imagine if this was on mainstream tv! n/t

[Leilani]

19. LBJ & Nixon had lots of protests against them

but this is really impressive.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

21. Not in these kind of numbers

[GingerSnaps]

20. My Dad was watching and he said that he has never seen anything like it

I think this is a first like most of the other things that Bush has done this is a first for our country.

[Leilani]

25. Yeah, he is certainly setting records

LOL

[GingerSnaps]

27. My Dad worked in Chicago during the protest in the 60's

He tells a story of the workers sleeping in the building where he worked at because they were afraid to go out into the crowd.

[rocktivity]

26. Any official crowd estimates?

28. Nothing like this...

There were huge demonstrations during the Johnson and Nixon administrations, but they were antiwar protests, not so much specific anti-president or administation protests like this. And nothing like this during a party convention (Chicago '68 was a police riot).

[rocktivity]

29. DAMMIT, WHO STARTED A FIRE??

The march is almost over, and SOMEONE had to mess it up. I'll just assume it was a GOP mole.
