Sept. 25, 2005 | Though yesterday was the first day a permit had been granted for an anti-war march past the White House since the Iraq War began, one could be forgiven for having low expectations for the protest.
To begin with, the event's joint organizers, International ANSWER and United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ), feud so regularly that they had to sign a pact promising not to attack each other until the event was over.
Then there was ANSWER's rejection of message control -- its leadership demanded that each of its component organizations be allowed to protest issues besides the war. Starting at 9 am, therefore, the Palestinian boosters took over Farragut Square with their own signs and chants, while bands of anarchists, affordable housing advocates, and Hugo Chavez supporters staked out intersections around D.C.'s downtown.
......In the frequently carnivalesque march that looped around the White House and downtown, one could spot just about any slogan imaginable, from the 9/11 conspiracy theorists to the simply unintelligible: Riding a green ladies' bicycle, a white-bearded hippie sanctimoniously coasted down a line of stationary D.C. cops, holding aloft a poorly lettered sign reading "WHY? (expletive deleted)." Four of D.C.'s finest double over laughing in his wake. "The city prefers the officers to keep a straight face," their sergeant said. "Sometimes that's hard."
Earlier that afternoon, a group of anarchists splintered off the parade route onto K Street NW, overturned newspaper boxes and, according to Jeremy Hammond, a self described "anti-capitalist traveler," controlled the street for two hours. The police arrested one or two, and chased the rest out on motorcycles. Later, Hammond says, the anarchists regrouped in front of a military recruiting office, and succeeded in being shot at with rubber bullets. (The skirmish has not appeared in any other published accounts.)
But Bush ordered the hurricane, didn't you know?
Some hallucinating leftist even claimed that President Bush actually blew up the levies to kill black people -- these people belong in an asylum.
There parents must be so proud.
That is true.
bttt
Hi nopardons.
Bump!
Funny, she doesn't look dead.
According to the article that accompanied this photo, the lady is not from a hurricane area, and had no family directly affected by the hurricanes.
The author of the article, said this was the most interesting (I think he meant 'true') sign he saw all day in DC.
It's very interesting to see what the lefties believe the government should and should not be responsible for. To them, government is about disaster relief, not protecting us or pursuing terrorists. Hell most of them are still of the opinion we deserved 911.
Their...... The old posting before morning coffee oops.
And a BIG HIGH bump, right back at ya!
oooooooooooooppppppppps..................
Those three are simply unspeakable. It would be useless to tell them that their behaviour is dishonourable, undignified, an despicable. Not only do they have no honour, they don't even know what it is.
"There Their...... The old posting before morning coffee oops."
LOL
Rules of the road - Never drink and drive!
