Didn't I see something about a protest being staged against the NYT? I'm surprised I haven't seen anything in here.

And, for the record, conservative protestors are just as ignorant (for lack of a better word) as liberal ones.

If this is happening, I would think Weasel would mention it. Damn New Yor Times, always destroying our country with their free press and what not.

We have a sound permit, and we will be across the street from the New York Times. They are at 229 West 43rd Street.

The groups on board so far are Free Republic, Caucus for America, the Congress for Racial Equality, and Protest Warrior, NYC Chapter. We have reached out to several other groups as well, and are waiting to hear back from them.

Some high-visibility media people are interested in speaking at the protest. More information will be coming on this as we gather groups and speakers.

So hold the date! If you have been as sick about the Times's unconscionable blabbing of our classified information as the rest of those who care about the nation, now is your chance to do something to make your outrage heard.

Small Protest Outside 'NY Times' Targets Bank Records Story

By Joe Strupp

Published: July 11, 2006 11:20 AM ET

NEW YORK At a rally outside the offices of The New York Times Monday night, about 100 protesters called on federal officials to prosecute the paper for its recent publication of government security secrets, The New York Sun reported.

Headed by a radio talk show host and Caucus for America president, Rabbi Aryeh Spero, the group gathered to oppose the Times' decision to publish "national security secrets relating to our government's financial monitoring programs to track down terrorists," The Sun reported.

The complaints stem from the June 23 Times story about the secret Swift bank records program, which revealed the U.S. Treasury Department had been monitoring bank accounts in an effort to track financial activities of terrorists.

Rabbi Spero said that publishing the secrets was an act of "treason and betrayal that put the public safety of the country in jeopardy," the Sun reported.

Protesters carried signs displaying angry messages, such as "Osama's Favorite Paper," the Sun reported, adding that men dressed as Osama bin Laden held copies of the newspaper and signs declaring, "I Love the New York Times" and "It Makes Me Feel Like I'm In the Know!"

Kosar 100 would be strong more like 75 showed up. Even with O'Riley acting stupid about it.

He was pushing turn out. Then last night saying they are all, at least the three Liberal reporters are almost criminal and everyone should cancel there paper. The one guest almost thought he was nuts. Told him to remember there are 3 or 4 Conservative reporters there to. O Riley dismiss that.

Didn't see Oreilly on subject--lean with Dawg myself--protestors in general turn off to me regardless of political affiliation.
Generally serves little purpose other than give non working class something to do. Much more effectice means--drop subscription-advertising ect.
