On Sunday March 2nd, ABC.7 television news reported on their 5 o'clock Sunday broadcast that "a number of local residents" staged a "march against terrorism" along the route of the Los Angeles Marathon.

Channel 7 had a film crew cover the "march" of around a dozen and half people, reporting that the small crowd "was against war but supported President Bush." The participants each carried an American Flag or two, and signs could be seen that read "Support President Bush- Support our Troops - Support America!"

ABC.7's video clearly showed so called "homeless activist" Ted Hayes out in front of the march with a megaphone, exhorting the crowd in patriotic chants. Apparently Mr. Hayes was a primary organizer of the demonstration. He was interviewed by the Channel 7 film crew... what follows is an exact transcript of what he had to say:

"We're out here today to show America that we support our President... we support America's policies... we support the President going to Iraq to liberate the people of Iraq, to introduce to them liberty and freedom for the first time in their existence."

The entire report lasted no more than a minute... ending with the interview of Mr. Hayes.
