You have good neighbors folkes, they stood up for you on a hot day and told media what we all think. Bummer, well he just wasn't going to see the people standing up to him.

I see more protests coming for Oregon residents, Washington too since they are basically joined at the hip politically!!!!

The momentum should keep on moving, do not let that fire extinguish itself out of complacency. Give em HELL!!!

They are liars, they have no idea how many there were. Media set the cameras in a hole so you couldn't see the real size of the crowd.

It would have been nice if someone could have take video of the crowd from above with a drone, though no doubt it would have been shot down by a secret service sniper if anyone put one up in the air.

Thankfully many people can record their own video and post online to help 'fix' the incorrect news reports.

Apparently the whole sarcastic tone bouncing around in the empty space between my ears didn't come through.

ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Holding signs saying the president was not welcome, more than 200 gun-rights activists protested Barack Obama's visit on Friday to Oregon to meet with the families of victims of last week's campus killings.

The protesters stood outside Roseburg airport as Obama left a helicopter and got into a limousine that whisked him away for the private conversations at a high school.

The protesters were angry about Obama's calls for gun restrictions in the wake of the shooting rampage that killed eight students and a teacher at Umpqua Community College.

Some of the protesters carried holstered handguns. Others had signs saying Obama was not welcome.

"By coming here, Obama is going to politicize a tragedy by saying that you have to have gun control," George Starr said as he held a small American flag.

"It's not that we are bloodthirsty, it's that we want to protect ourselves and our families," he said.

The attitude is shared by many people in the conservative region where it is common for residents to own guns for hunting, target shooting and self-protection.

"I'm here to tell Obama he is not welcome in our county. He is exploiting the local tragedy with his gun control agenda," said Bruce Rester, a retired truck driver who was wearing a handgun in a holster over his chest.

"Everybody should carry a gun. An armed society is a polite society," he said.

A number of Obama supporters lined the route taken by the limousine to catch a glimpse of the president.

I started on the media end, they wouldn't know crap the way they set their cameras in a hole. Website I posted shows they couldn't see the depth of the crowd. Plus the media all huddled on one end so how would they know.

The media end had a parking lot next to the airport that was full up. Then hundreds of cars parked out in the grass next to that. Media's pictures come from the road that doesn't even show all the vehicles. Media is a bunch of liars.

You didn't think I would believe them over NWFA members that were on-scene did you Jim?

Hell, if we are ever going to take this country back, the first thing we gotta do is wrest the message(s) away from those lying jack-wagons, and let the voters see some FACTS!

 

[Just Jim]

it don't matter, believe me or not. Look at that bottom picture posted, that is the media end where most of them set up. Now there alone you see over 200 people yet there was more than one protest site and lots of people along the airport on both sides.
Glad someone has pictures.
