Opponents of the war in Iraq marched Saturday in a clamorous day of protest, song and remembrance of the dead, some showing surprisingly diverse political views even as they spoke with one loud voice in wanting U.S. troops home.
The surging crowd, shouting "Bush out now" and "Peace now," marched in front of the White House and then to the Washington Monument in an 11-hour marathon of dissent.
They were young people with green hair, nuns whose anti-war activism dates to Vietnam, parents mourning their children in uniform lost in Iraq, and uncountable families motivated for the first time to protest.
President Bush himself was out of town, monitoring hurricane recovery efforts from Colorado and Texas. The protesters shouted for his impeachment.
"Bush Lied, Thousands Died," said one sign. "End the Occupation," said another.
Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey, noting that organizers had hoped to draw 100,000 people, said, "I think they probably did

Is anybody going to report on our side's day? In quiring minds want to know.
I will, I will----
BTW--Phil Donahue made a hugh deal about going to this protest on O'Reilly's show the other night...was he there???
Also, besides Cynthia McKinney, did ANY politicians actually show up?
That should really tell these idiots something...that the left, as LEFT as they are....aren't even associating with these groups.
LOL---perfect!
Of course, we have to determine who is stuck, and who is stupid!!!
The usual suspects are pretty busy getting ready for tomorrow. We were joking with Jim Rob that we had so many pictures that we'd crash the server.
I thought of posting an unoffical vanity recap since I know I'm always waiting to hear the reports.
That is gold!
LOL! ...And I actually *did*! :-D
I didn't see any of them. Rumor was that Sheehan didn't actually march.

Protest Warrior and My Boys
Well, then, hasn't she become the DIVA, hasn't she???
She supposedly is going on this extensive bus trip to spread her message after leaving Crawford....and as far as I know, she may have riden in the bus tour for 1 or 2 stops..
NOW, she can't deign to actually MARCH??? I bet her son did HIS share of marching, don't you?
LOL---Hippies Smell!!! Gotta love it...
The poster that says that "Iraqi love our guys"?
I was listening to AirAmerika this evening for a minute to see what their were reporting...
There was a guy named Doger or Dodge..supposedly a reporter that has been in Iraq for a year, reporting for some host named Laura Flaunders (?)---
She asked him if the Iraqi people would get to see the protest march today...that she referred to as HISTORIC...
He said that they would probably show it on Al-jazeera...and that the Iraqi people would really cheer Cindy and gang...because HE saw a "POLL" of Iraqis a few months ago that showed that 85% wanted the US troops out NOW...and are mad that they came to occupy Iraq.
This AP piece sounds as if they were making mad passionate love to these anti war and pro communist and socialist groups. I hope the authors cleaned themsleves up after typing it. Linking ANSWER and these moonbats at the bottom shows what the AP is made of. I am shocked they didnt have that fat traitor pig (no not M. Moore) Lynne Stewart's bearded mug on the link. She should have been burned in effigy to get these moon bats all fired up. They'd wet themselves if you stood up to them. I am so sick of these anti US and anti Bush groups. Ive had it.
I've never understood why the media sometimes refers to Jessie Jackson as one of the greatest orators of our time! I believe I heard Larry King say this once. I'm like you, I can't understand half of what he says. He was born with a cleft, and I think it causes him to have a speech impediment. With or without a speech impediment, he is not a great speaker....he's a shouter of rhymes. IMO, he's as crooked as a snake and not deserving of anyone's respect....but neither is Cindy Sheehan. She's been anything BUT a grieving mother today.
Clinton knew before the towers blew.
He knew before Monica blew too....
C-span is showing the Anti-American rally right now...
IF any of ya'll are in the mood to want to take target practice at the TV!!!
If I want to see pictures of Danny Bonaduce I'll look up the real thing. :}
Does anyone know where the "real" numbers are posted?
