Groups planning to demonstrate against the upcoming Republican National Convention will have some unfriendly company on the asphalt and concrete outside Madison Square Garden. Members of a new group of young GOP conservatives plan to protest the protesters.

Tom Paladino, who leads the New York chapter of Protest Warriors, a nationwide organization, said members want to show the protesters that "there are Republicans that will protest them right back."

Added Jason Sager, a member from Brooklyn: "We are the right-wing freedom fighters. We are out there and are just as animated as the protesters can be."

Protest Warriors, which claims about 3,000 members nationwide, expects about 200 in New York for the four-day convention, which begins Aug. 30 and is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of opponents of President Bush.

Did you hear, Sean Hannity just gave Protest Warriors a plug on his radio show.

He's on a one hour delay on WSB AM Atlanta. Should be in around 1/2 hour from now.

They ran the same story in a publication called Express in the DC Metro area. It's a free rag by the Washington Post. I was smiling when I saw it. They ran another picture from the same meeting with the article.
