Protesters 'will not say uncle to system' [DNC Moonbats Alert]

CIVIC CENTER – While glossy, preprinted signs were in abundance Sunday, there were plenty of hand-crafted signs in protest of the war or in support of abortion rights as well. Some solo protesters circulated with their signs, making their own message heard away from the bullhorns and microphones.

Amelie Starkey of Mountain View carried a sign she painted with green paint on cardboard. It read, “Respect the Iraqi People. Pull Out!”

“If I had more room, I would have said, ‘Pull Out Now!’,” Starkey said.

A member of the Denver Peace Community, she said she has advocated peace for more than 35 years. She wanted to make her own non-violent protest, if only “so that I can live with myself. That I am present to say, ‘No,’” she said.

She said the police dressed in their black uniforms outnumbered the protesters when she first arrived at the park. She hoped things would remain peaceful.

On her shirt, it read: “I’m not disturbing the peace. I’m disturbing the war.”

I've been at this since 1960 – this kind of thing,” he said. “So far, I’m not sure what I have accomplished...

Not much.

“If I had more room, I would have said, ‘Pull Out Now!’,” Starkey said.

I wish I could have been there to say the same thing to your father.

I wish these moonbats would watch the recent Penn & Teller show about “peace”. They pointed out that in all of history, the only time real peace is achieved is when the former warriors become free trading partners.

What is cool is that the abortion nuts can use the “Pull Out Now” signs the IRaq moonbats have, if they run low an sign-age... /s

The moonbats are not concerned about Russia's rape of Georgia. The only country they're angry at is America!

I should have added “generally speaking.” The ones raising hell in Denver are really dumb. Don’t they have classes to go on Monday?

I agree. Hopefully, mom and pop will open their eyes when they come home with their diploma and want to move back into their old bedroom. Mom and pop really need to welcome them to the real world now that they have their "education" and send them on their merry way.

That’s because they support the Neo-Soviet Union - they are all “brothers and sisters” in the Communist Community!
