and/or loudly chanting: KILL THE JEWS-KILL THE JEWS-KILL THE JEWS, as they DID last time????free dixie,sw

I love the picture and your comment - LOL - but as a Doberman owner I have to say that Dobies are wonderful and loving dogs that are not aggressive by nature...a Chihuahua is much more likely to bite a stranger than a Dobie.

My grandfather raised dobermans and I love them. For the most part your statement is true, the problem is that every once in a while a mean aggressive one is born, and in that case they are a much more problematic breed than the Chihuahua.

He had a mean one born in one of his litters and refused to sell her as a pup or put her down when she really became dangerous. He lived out in the country on a farm and the family and friends of the family knew to honk the horn till my grandparents had time to put her up and come and meet you at the car. It worked for years until one day a stranger showed up. If it had been today and not 30 years ago he would have been sued.

"I read a post there earlier from someone who said he/she was very depressed and that they had a visit from the FBI because of some of her comments on DU."

Poor baby!

Of course it would never occur to these Dimwits that the FBI and Secret Service probably moniter them for just that reason.

Duh!

[3AngelaD]

I am extremely concerned that one of more of these individuals could very easily be an Al-Queda operative and could bring a bomb or bombs onto the parade route. I think for purposes of public safety, their permits should be revoked and they should be directed to demonstrate at, say, RJK stadium parking lot.

[SandRat]

Got confirmation this morning that the MIB have opened their mail. Want to guess what's coming next? He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!!!!!!!

[Ellesu]

I agree, and hope you are correct. I always get nervous that these kooks are going to start shooting.

[cake_crumb]

A.N.S.W.E.R? The group that was so pleased at Nick Berg's atrocious murder by the guys they work for?

The group Nick Berg's father is a member of?

The same father who didn't express outrage that his son had his head slowly sawed off with a dull knife so he'd feel the pain and terror as long as possible, but because Americans SAW the video?

THAT A.N.S.W.E.R.?

Thought so.

[cvq3842]

These people have no agenda, or rather nothing but a far, far left agenda which America has rejected, decisively and repeatedly.

The only thing they could do which would be more injurious to their cause than staging these sohpomoric, violent protests would be . . . to state their "program" clearly and in detail.

I don't want to focus on a "bad" topic, but I sometimes really get worried about these people. Keep saying "Bush is Hitler" loudly and repeatedly, and some kook might actually take it to heart. Look at DU right now - there's a whole thread about "Bush is Hitler." I really, really hope the Secret service is looking hard at the kooks . . .

[A Navy Vet]

Kristinn, after all your inter-action with the Park permit office, could you get an appointment with some one of authority and show them the video from a laptop?

[cake_crumb]

"Famous FReeper thread that was blamed for the beheading of Nick Berg"

That's nothing but projection of guilt. They know perfectly well that the people THEY support killed him.

[doug from upland]

Let me be clear about my earlier comment. The "famous" was the comment on the thread, not about a famous FReeper. That having been said, I am absolutely convinced that Berg's disgusting America-hating father hates George Bush more than he hates the monsters who killed his son.

Converge at 4th St. & Pennsylvania Ave.
on the north side of the parade route

A permit has been obtained for a mass convergence at 4th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. along the north side of the parade route. You can bring your own signs or pick up signs, banners and other materials at this location. Any sign that is made of cardboard, posterboard or cloth and that is no larger than 3 feet by 20 feet and 1/4 inch in thickness can be brought to the parade route. We will provide additional logistical information in the coming days.

The Bush administration has done everything to try to prevent mass assembly protest along Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20. We are involved in an ongoing legal and political challenge, asserting the right of the people to line the inaugural route. The whole world will be watching Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20, 2005, just as they were at the inauguration on January 20, 2001.

At the same time as we are continuing to fight to stop the government from creating large exclusive use sections lining the public parade route solely for Bush supporters and donors, we want to make it clear to everyone that we have obtained permitted space and that under all circumstances you have the lawful right to come to Pennsylvania Avenue and to make your views known, seen, and heard. Pennsylvania Avenue does not belong to Corporate America and the ultra-right.

The government is glad to give antiwar organizations a permit to go anywhere but Pennsylvania Avenue. They have been attempting the same tactic they used during the Republican National Convention when they tried to banish mass protest from midtown Manhattan, the site of the RNC. Don't be diverted.

The only way to maintain our right to demonstrate at the site of the inauguration is to come to Pennsylvania Avenue in large numbers as close to 9 am as possible on January 20. The Bush/Cheney Presidential Inaugural Committee and the National Park Service know full well that unless people arrive at Pennsylvania Avenue as close to 9 am as possible it is unlikely they will gain access to the area.

To reiterate: We have obtained a permit for an antiwar convergence at 4th St. and Pennsylvania Avenue. Those organizing bus transportation, vans, car caravans, or planning individual transportation should do everything in their power to be at 4th St. and Pennsylvania Avenue, and along the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route, as close to 9 am as possible. The Bush government is using national security as a pretext to avoid the political embarrassment of thousands of people holding up antiwar signs and banners as the presidential caravan travels, first to the Capitol and later to the White House along Pennsylvania Avenue.

Who really needs an Inaugural Ball anyway. I am sure Bush, himself, would be the first to say skip "this hoedown".

[fight_truth_decay]

[SeaBiscuit]

"These people need to get a life."

I agree, but hopefully outside of America.
