Dozens of military veterans who support Ron Paul's presidential campaign rallied in D.C. today...

"Dozens," huh, Weigel?

 

[brendan.orourke]

DRUDGE THAT SHIT

 

[jsem]

Dozens!?

 

[nobody's_hero]

I'm in tears!!! This is pretty epic.

I can't really tell from the live stream on adamvstheman.com but it SOUNDS like there are thousands.

Chanting : "END, THE FED!!!"

 

[braane]

Dozens!?

Dozens.

 

[GraniteHills]

Ha ha.

Oh well, what should one expect from a journalist who was once fired from his newspaper for bias.

 

[DerailingDaTrain]

It was more like 400-600 veterans (don't have an exact count yet) and the total crowd was around 1,000 or more. Weigel is a hater apparently.

The comment section is also full of haters:

"I could get 500 veterans to support individual ownership of tactical nukes. What is the point?"

"Dozens", ahahahaa.

Sure thing there slate. Why not just say a "few" or "several".

Effers.

 

[kathy88]

I don't even want to read it. Dozens? FUCK YOU MSM.

 

[pauliticalfan]

A couple of these are "dozens", you fuck.

 

[Lucille]

Weigel is a statist hack.

DRUDGE THAT SHIT

No! Not this one anyway, for his "dozens" BS.

Dave Weigel refers to "Paultards"; Drudge has "emotional problems", should "set himself on fire"

Ah yes, David Weigel, the Reason Magazine "libertarian", can go choke on a bag of dicks.

He actually reads his tweets. Let him know what you think of his "dozens" comment.

The big whiny statist baby blocked me years ago when I linked to his youtube video.

He was crying himself to sleep that night on his huge pilla.

This is a bad piece of journalism by Mr. Weigel, but outright bias? No.

More like laziness. He reported a stories minimum facts because it was a quick and easy piece to report.

He did not ask a non-biased bystander (police officer firefighter etc.) to account for the actual number of people at the event - this is Journalism 101.

He did not call the U.S. Army and report the angle that these soldiers were performing civil disobedience and could be disciplined for their actions.

He did not even talk to the soldiers and get a good pull out quote.

Basically a crappy online article, one I would not Drudge.

"Thundering echoes of President Paul, End the Fed, and End this War, could be head from blocks away."

Regular citizens should have been able to march behind the military personnel. Would have been a huge crowd then with the same purpose.

Here's a better article to drudge: http://www.examiner.com/conservativ...eterans-for-ron-paul-march-on-the-white-house

They did. A military truck followed the veterans and civilians marched behind the truck.
