Reply #5: Didn't know extent of protests, knew about Black Caucus ...

[gauguin57]

A few days before the 2001 inauguration, I saw all these liberal/Dem message boards filled with posts about protests that were being organized for Washington. Then, when I watched the inaugural on TV, I hardly saw any protesters at ALL. My friends who have seen the movie with me (I've seen it three times) say they didn't know there were all those protesters, either, or that eggs were thrown at Baby Doc Bush's limo.

As for the African-Americans in Congress ... I watched every minute of that horrible proceeding, live, back in 2000 ... watching Al Gore preside over his own destruction.

What Michael Moore didn't show was that members of the Black Caucus WALKED OUT OF THE CHAMBER after being told their protest didn't matter. I remember watching Maxine Waters walk up the aisle, and me bursting into tears! But I cried all over again when I saw F-9/11.
