Amtrak is adding extra cars to take Anti-War Protesters from Albany to NYC

They are playing this up big time with some person promoting it on every news break all day today. These anti-Americans are saying they expect 100,000 people in NYC tomorrow to tell the President there will be no war with Iraq. All local colleges have arranged special buses to take students down too.

Now as cold as it will be tomorrow do you think they will have that many people?

Word has it that Amtrak be using cattle cars. Seems that the lack of hygene of your average protester makes this move necessary.

Me thinks most of the Captain Comrade Commie Corps will stay home..But we of the FReeper Alliance will proclaim our love of country and respect for the president, and gratitude for our military loud and proud!

Perhaps they will all be stuck in snow drifts in the Catskills.

One wonders if any of these vermin will appreciate the irony of missing their anti-war protest because the socialized rail service was late?

They’re adding BART service too for the Bay Area. I took it last time and it was jammed with all kinds of rift-raft. I was sorta trying to be incognito. I was carrying my “FRY MUMIA” sign and as I bought my ticket an unwashed protester gal glanced down at it and asked “Who’s Mumia?”

“He’s a cop killer” I replied and walked away...

I hope they realize that Osama called out suicide bombers on his tape two days ago, and there is a very real possibility that they will fully understand the term "irony".

I bet the people of Albany are quite grateful that Amtrak agreed to haul the refuse out of their community.

It would be kinda funny (in a mean & gruesome way) if the train derails and...you choose the ending.

Are these state colleges ? I'd REALLY like to see how they can show that no taxpayer money from the state or federal grants subsidized this tripe.

True irony : Train full of anti-war protestors is derailed by suicide Arab bombers.

I went to wal-mart today and behind me in line was a few college kids all saying how the U.N. proved them right today and once Mandella is in place as a shield that we will never attack Iraq. These people are so BRainwashed.....

They can't. For example the "Public Radio" Pacifica Radio stations are the "PRIME" organizers and PR mouthpiece for the scum. Pacifica received about half a Million (I guess)of our tax dollars last year.

“He’s a cop killer”

I hope you used your best Robocop voice when you did that :)

I fully expect these protest to start getting violent very soon. They are not getting the coverage they want and there appears to be a coalescence of redical elements. I hope they do and get the shi* kicked out of them.
