ABC spin on protest march
Although the march was peaceful and forceful against the war, there were very few signs of support for Kerry. Duh

2. Oh, well that means that most of them are probably in the "undecided" camp
What a stupid comment.

3. What part of "protest" don't they understand ...
Maybe that caller on C-SPAN was actually a writer for ABC ... their spin is remarkably similar.

4. Well, they were accusing Kerry of sponsoring the march. Now they are
pissed because they cannot confirm this? WTF?

6. I actually thought the same thing...that there weren't a lot of JK signs
but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

It was free democracy in action.

And seriously, no one in that march is going to vote for Bush...

9. They do realize the Dem convention already happened, right?
I know they barely covered it, but still. This was a protest, not a John Kerry rally.

10. I think this was smart of the protesters
When you get that many people in a protest like that, some of them are going to act like asses. By making it anti-Bush and not pro-Kerry, they're making sure that Kerry won't take the heat for any arrests.

What we have to be wary of is Rove paying a bunch of thugs to wear Kerry/Edwards shirts and tip over cars and assault cops.

15. Right. Of course if they had rioted they would then be "Kerry Supporters."
