What do you call a rally if no-one shows up?

A PR disaster. Charles 'laughing boy' Johnson may well be trying to fool his moronic 'minions' into believing there were less than 100,000 people at the recent anti-war demonstration (despite official Police numbers contradicting him) but one of his sources were the 'counter' protesters. This group of 'activists' had planned their own rally as a counter to the much maligned (by Charles anyway) anti-war protests. They were expecting 20,000 people to turn up to support the pro-war, pro-Bush, let's-not-undermine-Halliburton cause. Unfortunately for them and for our favourite Bush propagandist only 100 people turned up. Wow, with figures like that, Cindy Sheehan must be shaking in her boots.

About 100 people had gathered before a stage set up on the eastern portion of the mall as the noon rally began. A large photo of an American flag served as a backdrop for the stage, and country music blared from speakers while other banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops waved in the breeze.
