The world is watching you all. Well done, we know that most Americans do not support this President. I hope you get rid of him in November. For the sake of the WORLD.

This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy :D

Yes, yes!!! This brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy and renewed faith that change will indeed come. Please vote.

Go ahead against the war,
and don´t forget the palestinians!
regards from Catalonia

A letter from England:

Well done NYC! We love you! Never give up, never give in!

True democracy in action--beautiful. You go, NY! Bless you all.

Excellent!

These people offer no alternative. Bush still has my vote.

Ahh, so easy for people to forget that not only did John Kerry vote for the war, he's on record recently stating that he would have also invaded Iraq based on the intel that Bush had at the time as well. Sorry liberals, that's not a valid anti-Bush argument anymore. Of course that hasn't stopped hundreds of thousands of you from gathering in the streets and using that as the basis of your protests, making you extremely stupid. Please continue, it's very gratifying to me to see so many people are dumber than me :)

Thanks!...your fight is our fight!
The world is wathing!

First of all, name calling will get none of us anywhere. Second, the war was so unanimously voted for because we had a president who pushed so hard for it, a scared public, and information that turned out to be a lie. We were all, including Kerry, lied to. Yes, Kerry voted for this war. The difference between him and Bush is that he is a "waffler" which, if you look it up, means that knowing what he knows now, he would vote differently. That's called progress. That's the admittance of mistakes. That's also while he'll be a better president.

Wow. thank you, Democrats! Although I can't be there in body, I'm with you all in spirit!

Bush's man said it best himself:
"People who are doing good tend to vote Republican, unless they have a higher education then they tend to vote Democratic." -Karl Rove
That just shows what they think of their own supporters.

Duncan McKeith,
You need a comma between fucking and digusting. The word is spelled s-e-n-s-e. You don't need a comma after party affiliation. Lastly, you really should discover the dash as it is much more useful than elipses. The least you could do is spell what you have to say correctly. Come now.

hmm, its fucked in the head to wrap flags around empty boxes ... does that means its better to wrap flags around boxes with dead people in them? Oh but wait, we cant see the actual coffins because bush and company decided there would be no cameras to show that. Personally, i think preventing reporters from reporting the news is whats fucked in the head and disgusting.

Yeah yeah, bush did that for the sake of the families who lost someone. If he's that concerned about families, why doesnt he make sure everyone over there has the proper equipment? And why doesnt he quit playing games with peoples lives by extending their tour of duty indefinitely?

Oh ... and gil bates, do you really think anyone would come to bush expecting a job? Its not like he has the greatest track record on promoting job growth in the country. You may think this is democrats vs republicans. its not ... its just people vs bush. I dont dislike the republicans. I dislike bush. Hell even some republicans arent too crazy about bush.

maybe kerry isnt the greatest guy to be president. I'm never going to say that i think kerry is great ... i just think he cant possibly be as bad as bush. When i vote in november, i'm not voting for who i think will be the best president (not like we have a big selection anyhow). I'm voting for who i think will get bush OUT and wont do as bad a job as bush did. Thats pretty sad, but its true none the less.

My answer to the question, "What does Kerry stand for?" Simple. Doesn't matter enough. He's NOT Dubbya Period! That is the most important fact. The end-result.

/A vote for Nadder is a vote for Herr Bush

Don't let the trolls take you off track- This thread os for showing people what is going today in new york. It is not just because of 'a bunch of hippies' or any other small, easily swayed faction that people have been pouring past madison square gardens for 4 and a half hours. Keep those pictures coming folks! And C-span is the only place that will give you real pictures without talking heads. And you'll note this isn't about left and right.... It's about Bush. There probably about 300,000 people... and even the police are pissed off, since Washington is giving new york -Nothing- in homeland security funds... less than a tenth of what Miami revieves, and a fifth of Philly's funds.

Again, C-span. And keep the pics Rolling.

Thank you NYC for speaking out so powerfully against Bush and his Junta. It's a sign of hope both for America and for us out here who have to suffer from their cowardly actions. The few hostile comments on this page show just how much you are scaring them!

Damn my pre-planned vacation! Kepp on fighting the good fight everyone!

Dammit it all to hell that school has begun and I must stay here and teach. To be among the masses pointing at GW would be elation in its truest form! Great Pics -- Check out C-Span for some great coverage. The impromptu cheers from the protestors are GREAT!

Republicans take note ... The people you are seeing here are REAL Americans, not afraid to stand up against Tyranny (whether it's abroad OR at home) and make their voices heard. Go ahead and keep calling us "Liberals" it's not a dirty word, and only proves your ignorance.

Liberal

adj 1: showing or characterized by broad-mindedness; "a broad political stance"; "generous and broad sympathies"; "a liberal newspaper"; "tolerant of his opponent's opinions" [syn: broad, large-minded, tolerant] 2: having political or social views favoring reform and progress 3: tolerant of change; not bound by authoritarianism, orthodoxy, or tradition [ant: conservative] 4: given or giving freely; "was a big tipper"; "the bounteous goodness of God"; "bountiful compliments"; "a freehanded host"; "a handsome allowance"; "Saturday's child is loving and giving"; "a liberal backer of the arts"; "a munificent gift"; "her fond and openhanded grandfather" [syn: big, bighearted, bounteous, bountiful, freehanded, handsome, giving, openhanded] 5: not literal; "a loose interpretation of what she had been told"; "a free translation of the poem" [syn: free, loose] n 1: a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties [syn: progressive] [ant: conservative] 2: a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets

Sounds good to me.

thanks for posting all these great pics!! great job everybody

of course bush is horrible, but what we must collectively realize is that Kerry is just as bad. Kerry said he would have gone to Iraq anyway, even though there were no WMDs- that is insane.

to all of you that believe Kerry 'has got to be better than Bush':
Wake UP!

Bush is not the Problem- the corporate government is the problem and Kerry will continue funding the war machine and sending poor kids to die for corporate gain (and continue health care for profit, gov't spying 'patriot' act, and NAFTA/WTO- he is a corporate whore- period)

Peace is Possible, we must reject both Bush and Kerry- because accepting them means accepting big brother and perpetual war.
www.benfrank.net/nuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=254

this entire week of protests should be about "We the People" realizing that this election is a fraud, Nader is the only Peace Candidate, but he can't get in the budweiser debates.

let's camp out in central park and ask the cops to quit their jobs and join the movement to reclaim our country from the greedy bastards currently running the show.

We should be demanding a new law, 50% majority to win, then third party candidates wouldn't be 'the spoiler' - people could vote nader and not feel guilty.

peace now
ben frank

ps- listen to Camejo- Nader's VP- he shreds Kerry and Bush
rtsp://video.c-span.org/project/c04/c04_wj082704_camejo.rm

how can any rational human believe Kerry and Bush are the best America has to offer? the village idiot and the pompous bore- lol

Thanks to all New York Marchers, from Kansas.I marched for Choice in DC,this year.I wish I was in New York.Thank you!!You all are awesome,keep up the pressure and everyone vote George out!

"In Hindsight, Kerry Says He'd Still Vote for War"

defeat bush? with who!

Thank you, humanity! I love you! On January 20, 2001, I was at the protest against Bush's inauguration in Washington, D.C. From then on, he has more than fulfilled the worst of our forebodings and surprised the world and shamed America with his mendacity, outright lies, ignorance, and arrogance. Congratulations on a job well done! Couldn't be there today, but I've been at more than a few huge protests in D.C. and NYC against the war. These photos give us a real sense of what it is to be there with other humans, black, brown, and white, who want a better world and who are willing to fight for it. Now, let's VOTE!

GOPDaddy put it perfectly: "Amazing how people are going out in droves over this. You don't see conservatives parading the streets".

GOPDaddys just can't understand the whole idea of grassroots activism. it's like the old right wingers have a mental block - it "amazes" them every time.

all power to the people!

Fuck Dubya. Let freedom ring!

Keep it up NYC. Believe it or not, many in the "heartland" are with you.

To those out there who are Republicans and/or conservatives because you are also Christians, and believe that those political beliefs are closer to what Christ taught: you’re wrong. Jesus Christ made very few political-type statements, but what He did say shows that He was very liberal both by the standards of His day and time, and by our own. Especially in economic matters.

For instance, what was it that He said to the rich young ruler who asked Him what he must do to be saved? Was it, “Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it unto the CEOs of the multinational corporations who fund conservative political campaigns, that it might trickle down unto the poor� I don’t think so.

Not only was Jesus liberal, but His Apostles and the very early (pre-Paul) Christian Church were downright Marxist-style Communist! Don’t believe me? Remember the catch-phrase summary of Marxism that Marx used? “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.†Now compare this with the last half-dozen or so verses from Acts Chapters 2 (key verses 44 & 45) and 4 (key verses 34 & 35). God Himself divinely enforced this Marxist system through direct and fatal divine intervention (He, through Peter, struck a married couple dead on the spot for lying about their participation in the Marxist economic system) on at least one occasion: see the first eleven verses of Acts Chapter 5!

Indeed, since all of this was over 1¾ millennia before Karl Marx ever existed, perhaps we shouldn’t even call it “Marxism†— it certainly no longer looks like Herr Marx invented it! At any rate, this sure does make the phrase so commonly heard in the USA in the 1950s ironic: so much for “God-less Communismâ€!

Absolutely amazing! This demonstration is everything I hoped it would be. The turnout is huge, and every news station in the world (besides fox news) is talking about it. If you tune-in on the online radio stations discussing the events, you can actually hear protestors talking with RNC delegates and chasing their asses all over the city.

"Keep it up NYC. Believe it or not, many in the "heartland" are with you."

I second that.

Awesome!!!
Don't know what to say... It's beautiful!!! Keep going!
In solidarity from Bulgaria!!!

I was Republican before the Iraq War, but Bush made me hate my party. Sending kids to their death to die for oil. Ignoring the public schools my children go to. Screwing with the environment so my children will have a higher rate of cancer. I want to protect what I have, but I want to protect it for my children more than myself. Vote for Kerry and give our kids a chance.

Greetings from New Zealand!!!

Remember, you're also representing millions of people from the rest of the world who couldn't be there to join you. Down with the Bush administration!!!!!!

Thankyou to all :)

Markets don't regulate themselves.

Kerry didn't say he would have voted for the war knowning what he knows, he said he would vote for the AUTHORITY for a president to go to war if neccessary. The difference between the 2 is that Bush lied when he said he would exhaust all resources before war and also go to the UN to gather support. He bypassed those promises if the Congress voted for the war. They were simply lied to by Bush.

I am a Christian and I am also a liberal Democrat. I oppose fascism, wherein one group seeks to take away power from the people as a whole. At this point in history, the Republican party fits the fascist bill. I may not always be a Democrat, but as God as my witness I am NOW.

"All these people are hating on Georoge W Bush like People hated on Jesus 2000 years ago, just shows GWB is right and all these hateful and bigoted people are wrong."


When was the last time you read the Bible? The people who "hated on" Jesus were largely those in power. And to further compare Jesus, one of the most liberal (for his time) philosophers [anti-violence, ate with prostitutes and preached redistribution of wealth, etc.] with a conservative is just silly. Read up on the New Testament, there's some good stuff in there.

"The problem with todays so-called 'liberals' is that they aren't liberal at all. A liberal is tolerant and open-minded..."

It's the problem with the whole discourse nowadays...

"Hope you guys have enough pent-up rage to endure 4 more years of oh-so-horrible progress under Bush. Maybe by then you'll grow up and get some perspective on life."

See? Even you can't help sticking in a few jabs.


It's more bitter now than it's ever been, with both sides imagining themselves to be on a virtuous mission against a tide of hated and idiocy... and even scarier, everyong thinks that they're losing, so they're frightened. Frightened masses are never a good thing. My main hope is that our next election goes smoothly... I also hope that Kerry wins, but not if the price is madness (though admittedly I think my side's more willing to go crazy if our guy loses).

Really though, it's ludicrous how... personal and heated politics has gotten. We should sneak a bit of Lithium into DC's water supply.

Hey Bush supporters:

Where are the WMD?
Where are the links of Saddam to Al Queda?
Where is Osama bin Ladin?
Why have 800 soldiers died after "mission accomplished"?
How come reports of 400000 mass graves are IN FACT ONLY 5000??
How come N Korea already has nukes but we are taking soldiers out of S Korea?
How come we are at war when in fact it is a war that never can have a clear ending?
How come Halliburtan can get contract after contract even after it admits its overcharged?
How come there is never a probe into excessive defense contacts?
Why does Bush include protection for Soldiers into a huge bill which is mostly a blank check?
How come the deficit is the highest in history?
How come Bush says hes making progress with the economy when the #s say theres no job growth?
How come England has impeachment being started for Tony Blair?


You cons are living a big lie! Your president lies to you and you accept it. That must make you very stupid. Saddam WAS NOT A THREAT. END OF STORY.

A president lies about reasons for a war, he is proven wrong, but the biggest story of the election is swift boat HERESAY from 30 years ago?????????

ABB!!!! Anybody But Bush!!!!!

Two Questions....

1) Why is the Saudi Royal Family so well protected given that Saudi Arabia is the NUMBER ONE source of terror, terror funding, and terrorist training in the world???

2) Why is Ken Lay so well protected. He will not serve even ONE DAY behind bars, but poor Martha Stewart will serve time, just for a stupid stock transaction.

WHY?? WHY?? WHY?? WHY??

And then.... WHERE ARE ALL THOSE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION???????? WHY THESE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN??????

Answer... -> -> -> OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the folks who've thrown in the "stupid hippie" insults:

Imagine, if you will, you are in Oklahoma City in 1995, in a place of business very near the Murrah building. Your city is devastated, some of your friends are killed, some of their children are killed, everyone is filled with grief and disgust and has to pick up the pieces. It's horrible, and you're frightened. Bill Clinton comes to town soon after, and is shown in countless press photos looking sorrowful and resolute. He vows to avenge the deaths of innocent Oklahomans. *Rather than catching McVeigh and Nichols*, though, he starts a war with a small African nation with a slimy dictator and an important oil source. He claims there are "direct links" between this dictator and the bomb plotters and sends his cabinet hither and yon to spread the word. When intelligent people around the world begin to piece together the absurdity of Clinton's claims, and even the major media begin to become hostile to him, it's time to find a distraction. Thus he declares we must have a constitutional amendment (I dunno, say ... ) denying first amendment rights (second too) to child pornographers. Oh, and he raises your taxes too. Meanwhile all sorts of partisans stand up and praise him on TV, day after day, as a "tough leader" blah blah blah. Every time you see them, you remember, your friends are dead, and their killers are running around the world, probably plotting future mayhem. What are they TALKING about, you wonder.

So then it's time for reelection, and his party chooses ... Oklahoma City, specially changing the usual timing in order to coincide with the anniversary of the bombing, for its convention. Your chamber of commerce asks you to make a few sacrifices in order to make his delegates comfortable. A Dem has never carried the vote in OK City in a hundred years, so you're not the slightest bit comfortable with these people.

Well ... you could just take it and try to make the best of it, even though the TV broadcasting of the convention, which alludes to the tragedy early and often, accompanied by speeches that sound heartfelt but are solemnly intoned by people who've done next to nothing to help your city, all makes you want to vomit.

Or you could get together with your friends, who also have suffered and are also angry and fed up, and make a little noise. (OK, it's only Oklahoma City, so instead of hundreds of thousands you gather in mere hundreds.)

All right, I made up this scenario - in truth Clinton's folks found the perpetrators, tried them, and punished them. It's kind of a loony and far-fetched story, but I betcha there are plenty of New Yorkers for whom the *real* story of 9/11, and what George W. Bush did about it, and how the Republicans are seeking to exploit it, seems more like fiction (or a very, very bad dream) than fact.

Goddam I love the First Amendment!!
To all of you that think Kerry and Bush amount to the same thing regarding corporate hegemony and American imperialism, do you also believe that they amount to the same thing regarding civil liberties and due process??? If Bush has four more years, the further you are out on the Left, the faster you are going to be transported to Gitmo. And, did you know that one thing on his agenda is outlawing contraceptives for unmarried women??? The madder we are at the status quo, the more we should be getting out the vote for Kerry. Action of any kind will become impossible if we have four more years of the Bush agenda.

Keep it up all this next week! Have a HUGE "soccer game" in Central Park---ALL WEEK. There is no law against that! Follow the rePIGfuggin delegates around. Make them know they are not welcome in NYC.

ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!

Love you all who are trying to make a difference.

It warms my heart to see that there are still people in the States who haven't been brainwashed by media to support Bush. The rest of the world is right with you. We don't hate the states, we just hate what Mr. Bush and his government are doing to our (and your) world.

The terror is just a product of the foreign policy Mr. Bush stands for.

or you could go fuck yourself, you homophobic anti-choice piece of worthless shit.

Bravo! We must exercise our freedoms in order to have them.. I won't be jumping on the anyone but Bush bandwagon, however. Bush is just a sad, stupid, arrogant puppet. The people that pull his strings also pull Kerry's. The globalist agenda will be played out through whichever candidate they choose to put in office. THE SAME AGENDA!!!

Bravo. Us here in California stand with you! Keep up the great work showing the world that Bush's policies don't represent those of all Americans!!

I AM NOT IN NYC BUT MY SPIRIT IS!
They say 500,000 are there NOW.
HOW MANY MORE OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT THERE NOW ARE THERE IN SPIRIT..
BILLIONS
I LOVE YOU PEEPLES!

I fucking love New York.Nice work everyone! Fight the power, stay vigilant, let's reclaim our Democracy from these fascists.

On the subject of Bush vs. Kerry, I think the best way to put pressure on Kerry to stop the war is a big turnout that defeats Bush by a large margin (and, by the way, loses the Republicans seats in Congress). That will leave Kerry in no doubt as to the strength of the opposition to Bush's prowar, procorporate agenda, and leave him and the Dems more vulnerable to postelection organizing.

Went to this yesterday. We all shouted "shame on you" when we passed the Republicians. I can't believe GOP means "grand old party". That is just SO dumb!! It really says it all.
