“Silence is no longer an option.” That was Jane Fonda’s explanation for coming out of her supposed protest retirement and joining the anti-war radicals who converged on the nation’s capital last weekend. Fonda’s conscience had apparently been tormenting her about the U.S. trying to save Iraq from radical Islam -- and so she could stay quiet no longer. In her speech to the anti-war crowd, Fonda championed American defeat in Iraq and compared the war to Vietnam, condemning what she called America’s “blindness to realities on the ground.” Fonda, of course, exhibited tremendous perception of “realities on the ground” three...

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Protesters calling for an end to recent violence in Sri Lanka found themselves brawling with hardline Buddhist monks on Thursday, after a rally dubbed a "peace protest" turned unexpectedly violent. Organisers said there were around 1,000 people in a park in the capital, Colombo, listening to a range of speakers when hardline saffron-robed monks opposed to concessions to Tamil Tiger rebels mounted the stage and erected banners. Some more moderate Buddhist monks, protesting for peace, were already on the stage when punches were thrown. Soon, monks' robes and fists were flying, although no one was badly hurt,...

March 24, 2006 San Francisco, California Antiwar protest has always been my first love, and that's what I did this week on the third anniversary of America's fascist invasion of Iraq. Scooter and I joined about a zillion other patriots in San Francisco to protest the war, Bush, capitalism, Israel, heterosexuals, fur, Christianity, SUVs, marijuana laws, meat, oil companies, Wal-Mart, and pretty much America in general. This year, I wanted to really stand out and make a statement. I put Scooter in charge of creating outfits that would guarantee us front page coverage and rally our fellow activists. What he...

Preparing to greet the commies - Early Saturday Morning DStarr chooses a sign from her arsenal as she prepares to confront the leftist march.

SAN FRANCISCO -- During a protest against the Bush administration Wednesday, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a building and fell on a police officer, lighting his uniform on fire. Officer Gary Constantine said the cocktail fell on his shoulder and lit the side of his uniform on fire. He was able to put the fire out with his hand and was not seriously injured. A witness told NBC11 that he saw the cocktail hit the side of a building and ricocheted down onto the police officer. San Francisco police estimate a few thousand protestors attended the protest. The protest...

September 5, 2005 Berkley, California Hello all. As Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) has broken camp and hit the road on her bus tour, it was time for me to come home. I wanted to go along, but unfortunately the last bus available was needed for PMS’s makeup staff, publicist, agent, film crew, acting coach, and spiritual guide. Anyway, being back home isn’t so bad as there are many things I can do here to end this war, promote gay marriage, save our environment, promote reproductive rights, ban guns, eliminate illiteracy, stop nuclear proliferation, save the whales, outlaw SUVs, dismantle the...

September 24, 2005 Washington DC Hello from enemy territory! I’m in Washington DC with Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) where earlier this week we protested at the White House. We marched down Pennsylvania Ave. singing songs of peace, some of us baring our breasts and genitals for peace, others doing bong hits for peace, and quite a few talking on cell phones for peace. Cindy had this great idea to write a letter to President Hayseed demanding the withdrawal of all American troops from all countries, disbanding the military, and prison sentences and sensitivity training for any Christian or Jew who...

            Letter to Mom     Claim:   Navy corpsman's e-mail dissuades his mother from attending anti-war demonstration. Status:   True.Example:   [Collected on the Internet, 2003] Dear Mom, It's really your decision to march if you want to or not. You are the one who has to decide if what we are doing out here is right or not. My opinion is not yours. I do, however, have things I would like for you and Grandma and everyone else at home to know. I am a United States soldier. I was sworn to...

A lone 83-year-old D-Day veteran braved a wave of anti-war fervour at a North demonstration to show his support for British soldiers in the Gulf. Reginald Peebles stood alone in regimental blazer and beret among 1500 protesters as they mocked British and American plans for an attack on Iraq. His quiet demeanour and maroon uniform, complete with Parachute Regiment badge, formed a stark contrast to the noise and excitement of the mostly youthful demonstration. Reginald kept up a lone vigil in Newcastle's Times Square as he waited for the peace protesters to arrive at the end of their march from...

Ben Healey, First Ward Alderman states "the Bush Administration is prioritizing this war in Iraq and risking the lives of hundreds of thousand of Americans not to...
