I went to the demonstration (5.00 / 1) (#29)
by stillife on Fri Apr 11, 2008 at 05:28:35 PM EST
at Rockefeller Center today.  In between yelling myself hoarse, I had a great time talking with other Hillary supporters who are mad as h@#$ and not gonna take it anymore!  I asked people how they heard about the protest and most people said Taylor Marsh or TalkLeft.  

One recurrent theme - everybody I talked to brought this up on their own - was the acrimony between Dems who were once all united in their Bush hate.  It came as no surprise to hear people say they're no longer talking politics with certain friends, no longer visiting certain blogs, and no longer watching certain news shows.  A couple of folks shamefacedly confessed that they've started watching Fox News b/c, in the words of Ed Rendell, they are evenhanded in their dislike of Obama and Clinton.  

Speaking of Fox, O'Reilly was the only show to cover the event, AFAIK.  I think it's going to get some coverage on his show tonight.  I'm sure he got a kick out of the anti-Keith Olbermann signs.  

How long (5.00 / 1) (#40)

before these people get on Olbermann's "worst person" list?

to be on that list!

Oh, somebody had a sign about Olbermann being the Worst Person in the World.

I think my favorite sign was "Problematic White Woman".

I am switching between CNN, MSNBC and Fox checking out what they are covering tonight after Clinton/Obama gaffes and the Begala/Penn items.

I posted my inquiry on the protest only a minute after your post.  Thanks for the info.  Sounds like you guys had a great time.  I wish I could have been there.  I'll look for O'reily's coverage (I've never said that before in my life).

NBC didn't even send anyone out? (none / 0) (#35)

I've never watched O'Reilly so tonight will be a first! It must have been great-wish I lived closer.

I didn't see NBC people (5.00 / 1) (#38)

although we were right there by their studios.  

I didn't see the O'Reilly people either - I think I left too early.  I was there from 8 till 9:30 or so.  But I read that somebody from The O'Reilly Factor interviewed people.  

It was great.  I would estimate about 100 people showed up, which is pretty much what I expected.  Mostly women (of all ages).  It was very empowering. I'm really glad I went.
