Demonstrators Swarm Around Rove's Home

Several hundred people stormed the small yard of President Bush's chief political strategist, Karl Rove, yesterday afternoon, pounding on his windows, shoving signs at others and challenging Rove to talk to them about a bill that deals with educational opportunities for immigrants.

Protesters poured out of one school bus after another, piercing an otherwise quiet, peaceful Sunday in Rove's Palisades neighborhood in Northwest, chanting, "Karl, Karl, come on out! See what the DREAM Act is all about!"

Rove obliged their first request and opened his door long enough to say, "Get off my property."

His next words should be: "Release the dogs."

What a bunch of irritating dweebs.

I'm not registered with WP, so I couldn't read the whole article. Did anything interesting happen further down?

This is beyond the pale. All of the demonstrators should be arrested but the organizers should be imprisoned for some period of time. This crap can not be countenanced!

Since I refuse to register for the COMpost's website, this looks like a simple case of criminal trespassing and disturbing the peace.

Book 'em, Dan-o.

My favorite part:

Rove agreed to meet with two members of the coalition on the condition that the rest of the protesters board their buses and leave his street. The group obliged. Rove opened his garage door and allowed Palacios and Inez Killingsworth to enter. The meeting lasted two minutes and ended with Rove closing the garage door on Palacios while she was still talking.

LOL! Wish I could have seen that ! You can't reason with these people anyway, so he was better off just staying in the house!

Since the protesters were illegal aliens, did Rove call the authorities to have them arrested and deported? I would suspect he did, but no one has mentioned this or how many were deported back to latin america or other third world countries.

Does this work for other sites as well?

[dagnabbit]

I guess Rove and his boss only love illegal aliens when they're in someone else's neighborhood.

School buses? Who in the hell paid for them?

[McGavin999]

50,000 illegals graduate from HS each year? That's a cost of approximately $350 million dollars a year to taxpayers!

[Frank_2001]

Geez, get it straight, man! They'll only arrest you if you protest too closely to a "reproductive services facility" or some such Left-beloved entity;)

No, it's just the info I used to register for the Post.

Is that for real? LOL

Wasn't there a time when it was legal to defend your property with a few boom sticks. Why aren't these people in jail? Could you imagine if this happened to James Carvil?
