SEATTLE - About 500 protesters marched through downtown Seattle Saturday, venting their frustration over President Bush's re-election and calling for United States troops to be pulled out of Iraq.
Protesters, organized by the anti-war group Not in Our Name, said they felt compelled to air their beliefs about Iraq and the leadership of a president they feel does not represent their interests.
Another protest was planned for Jan. 20, the first day of the president's second term.

All they could muster was a few hundred! LOL
So much for the "big and powerful" "Not in Our Name". More for the trashbin of history, along with MoveOn.org and Soros.
I really thought my joy would have dissapated by now, but this is the election that keeps on giving!
WTF??????? ITS OVER!!!! GET OVER IT!!!! I am sick and tired of their whining. Admit it, you people are not anti-war. You use it as a guise. They are pro-war for the enemy.
BBBBWWWAAAAAHHHHH! ROTFLMAO!
What is the matter with these fools! I guess they are just ramping up for suicide season.
I honestly believe these protests are just an excuse for these losers to meet up with other losers and smoke dope and drink box wine on a Sunday. In college me and some of my buddies used to go to some of these events (UT Austin)(UF Gainesville) just to score hot lib chicks who were so stoned that our lame come on lines actually worked.
Why should we listen to Looosers?
It only smelled like 500 people...
On the other hand, however: watching a bunch of crusty, unshaven, multiply-pierced losers holding hands with their boyfriends -- sobbing ineffectually and popping one Midol after another is kinda rewarding, actually.
And that's just the male protesters... :)
There's a kid that I worked with last summer, who's now attending classes in Canada (McGill) and the last email he sent me was hilarious!
He's cultivated this 'anti-american' persona to get laid, that is flippin ridiculous in it's parody.
We do know how they feel, after we suffered through eight tortuous years of bubba.
It's just not quite the same result for the USA this time 'round.
This has been so much fun! How much longer can we keep the party going?
The BEST day for me was Wednesday, when I went back to work and saw all the Kerry long faces on my lib co-workers!
500? Where were the millions that were going to take to the street and cause anarchy? Are they already in New Zealand? I guess one can only hope! ;)
Boo Freakin' Hoo.
Well these people are very close to Canada-- why don't they join the several thousand interested parties who checked out the immigration website last week? Please go!! Canada will LOVE to have your money so they can give you crappy universal health care, high taxation and restrictions on free speech. That's what you guys want anyway, right? Oh, and they hate war.
GO! GO! GO! Then maybe Washington will be red next time.
Four times this many people will show up at the opening of a Crispy Creme in Seattle.
I've had to have my fun silently, as I work with nothing but liberals. My liberal friends who mocked Bush have only sent me a couple of cranky notes, and I hit them right back with "Don't pull that crap with me, not only would you be dancing if Bush lost you'd be rubbing my nose in it." No responses on that one. So most of my celebrating is here and on phone calls to my distant friends. We'll see what happens tomorrow when I go into Boston for an appointment, with my BUSH sticker fixed to my jacket... :)
Five Hundred? In Seattle all they could manage was five hundred? Hahahahahaa!!!!
