Eagles Soar to Support Our Troops, and Outnumber Anti-War Forces 3-to-1
On Saturday, the National Park Service estimates that the Gathering of Eagles turned out 30,000 patriotic protesters to support our troops and to combat an anti-war rally going on at the same time with Cindy Sheehan.
Hotair's Bryan and Michelle Malkin filed this report from the anti-protest protest, along with a Gathering of Eagles photo essay.

http://michellemalkin.com/archives/007109.htm Michelle Malkin, who caught the liberal New York Times dramatically underestimating the number of GoE protestors opines, "Yup, the journalistic standard-bearers of the NYTimes relied on 'several veterans of the antiwar movement' to give them crowd estimates of the Gathering of Eagles. It's the domestic equivalent of MSMers relying on dubious Iraqi stringers to provide them with war coverage while they sit in their comfy Green Zone offices in D.C. and Manhattan.

Conservative Propaganda's Tantor has some great pictures of what happened to a woman a a "Viva the Reagan Revolution" tshirt jumped in the middle of a circle of socialists, waving an American flag.

"Despite mainstream media efforts to downplay attendance or ignore the event altogether, blogosphere reports count 30,000 GOE participants vs. 5,000-10,000 antiwar protesters. This may mark the beginning of the end of mainstream America's complacency in the face of a vastly outnumbered but vocal (and overreported) antiwar movement whose platform spells disaster for the United States and Iraq. Never again will America's brave warriors and their cause be abandoned and the people our country has pledged to liberate be left to perish at the hands of tyrants. Those days are most definitely over.
