Perhaps the Park Service should reconsider ANSWER's permit. Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Why bother? Given security level of the event, administering a jackboot or two to the richly deserving hindquarters should not present any problem.

Many people dont seem to realize the fact that the vast majority of the world is socialist; ie the government controls every aspect of life. Even the USA is slipping more towards being a socialist republic on a daily basis.

Its only a matter of time before the true patriots in the land of the free have to make up their mind whether or not to go right along with the rest of the world and become a socialist state. Maybe these protesters will help make up some minds.

IndyMedia has posts of some DC leftists mad at ANSWER's attempt to "bigfoot" local groups as shown in links below.

DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) leaders believe that ANSWER set their 9 am gathering time to keep people from attending DAWN's event at that same time.

An Un-Endorsement of ANSWER Counter-Inaugural includes:

The most offensive part of ANSWER’s counter-inaugural announcements is the explicit call for activists NOT to attend the other events. This is absolutely inherent in what ANSWER is saying -- they insist, repeatedly, that protestors must be at ANSWER’s event by 9:00am. They stress the importance of 9:00am as an arrival time, they pound it into your head when you read their information on their counter-inaugural announcements. 9:00am -- the very starting time of DAWN’s events, a time that was announced well in advance of ANSWER’s events. ANSWER planned their event explicitly to conflict with DAWN’s events, that is absolutely clear and any attempt to deny this is illogical. The time-frame of 9:00am is important to ANSWER, is the important time to show up, precisely because it is the time they chose as the call to arrive at THEIR events! There is nothing other-worldly about 9:00am, no specific reason for the selection of 9:00am -- except one: to conflict with the other planned counter-inaugural events which ANSWER had no way of co-opting and claiming as their own. If they cannot make a claim of “ownership” and dominate planning/organizing/carrying out of an event, if they cannot at least manipulate the event or the images that emerge from it, they seem little interested in collaborating and in fact will try to detract from the event. [emphasis added]

Permits Granted includes this post:

As many veteran activists know, ANSWER has a long history of organizing competing demonstrations and sabotaging the plans put together by other groups. The answer to this is to support the excellent work being done by grassroots groups such as DAWN and ignore ANSWER's events.

The people who make up ANSWER would not dream of fighting against a dictator even if they happened to disapprove of him. They think it's safe to fight against, well, a free republic (as it certainly was in 1968, when one of their own was running the Justice Department). I hope that this time they will discover otherwise.

I have thought long and hard about this. I have come to the conclusion the security lockdown should be expanded to a one mile radius surrounding the White House and all of the Inaugural Balls.

Sure, you have a right to protest. That does not mean people have to see it.
