   This crap as blow up all over my facebook page as it seems uniformed people have taken sides.
   
   Thank goodness someone had posted a Snopes article on it. There was a musilum group that wanted to march, and really what they were protesting was all the spying and profiling of them as I gathered from the report, (gee really it seems to be the same as everyone else is ticked off about?).
   
   Then the complaint about the administration not granting a permit to the bikers, who were wanting to support and honor 9-11 heros. The National Parks System actually did not grant the permit due to the nature of they just wanted to travel through the capital, but not really confront the other group. The permit was denied due to the traffic congestion and extra personel needed to close off streets.
   
   I guess my biggest take away from all this, why have we become so gulable as people?

   Because we rely on spell checker (and I was never a good speller anyway) and the forum spellchecker is not working yet. Don't make me go to word, type out my post and then copy and paste, "aint nobody got time for that"

   I guess my question was before I got off on my rant, did either of these events even occur?
   
   All I heard was there was nothing reported by media, except for a small blurb on Fox.
   
   So if media doesn't report it, did it occur?
   
   Or was all this stuff made up or blown out of proportion to get us stirred up and keep us divided?
   
   I guess I do have time for that?

   Thanks Keith,
   
   With what Buzzfeed posted, now we know why media didn't cover it.
   Too bad the many posts on facebook about the 2 million biker march did not depict the true nature of the event they went to protest, or as someone else had mentioned, just talked about the "caus" they had applied for a permit for.
   
   The scary thing were all the comments, there are a lot of people out there that fail to think for themselves.

   I must have had my head in the sand. Didn't see much of this issue when it was "an issue".
