(10 arrests - Cindy was there)

I guess there weren't enough cameras present for Cindy to engage in civil disobedience...

San Fran...and they only get 2,000...wow, that's pretty abysmal numbers considering the location.

Yeas, here is little St. Helens we had about 20 kids cutting school for this crap. Only about a 1/2 block from the High School. The police came, no one was arrested. Their signs were classic. Written with a narrow sharpie pen and nearly illegible read the words, Honk if you think Bush is Stupid. Hmmnnnnn... something of thatmessage was lost just because of the penmanship! LOL I showed them my "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" Bumper sticker, and went and bought them some Kool-Aide packets. they were gone before I could deliver them though... Bummer, they must have been running really really low...

2k, that's all they can bring these days?

there are 2k homeless within a 5 block radius in some parts of SF

[AmericanChef]

Why do they need a special rally for that in a place like San Fran?

[Old Grumpy]

I must be confused. I thought she was going to have herself tied to the fence in front of the White House. Did she get untied?

[austinaero]

I thought the same thing! 2K in San Fran is just a fraction of the turnout in the Castro District on any given Sat night!

Organizers insisted this "The World Can't Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime" event was only the beginning of a national, ongoing movement that won't rest until the president leaves office.

You. Lost. Get used to it.

[BlueStateDepression]

"event was only the beginning of a national, ongoing movement that won't rest until the president leaves office."


They will rant and rave and then claim victory in '09.

[will180]

These people encouraged these kids to cut school, totally unbeliviable.

[wideawake]

Someone threw a crude firebomb against a wall of the San Francisco Chronicle building at Fifth and Mission streets, causing no damage or injuries but burning the shoulder of a police officer's jacket.

The author describes this violent, terroristic act as if it were no big deal.

Someone threw a firebomb at a cop and could have killed them. That's attempted murder.

[Mr. Jeeves]

San Fran...and they only get 2,000. I seriously doubt there were that many - the MSM inflates the turnout for all such events, and I didn't see any protestors loitering downtown at all before the rally. There might not have been more than a few hundred at the rally.

~SNORRFLE!~ Grumpy, I was hoping that was an electric fence!

"Organizers insisted this "The World Can't Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime" event was only the beginning of a national, ongoing movement that won't rest until the president leaves office."

Great, more of this crap until Jan. 2009.

I may already know the answer to this, but who is bankrolling Cindy's various travels in this fine country of OURS?

BTW, it has dawned on me that Cindy Sheehan's initials fit perfectly with a barnyard fowl and the end result of it's eating food.

[RexBeach]

"He's trying to steal our humanity?" How in hell is the president doing that?

God, this woman is such a putz.

[bmwcyle]

Cindy flys from coast to coast hunting cameras. She can't get a headline to maintain the cost of her attempts at news. Her funds should dry up soon.

[Eva]

And you won't find a single mention of the fact that these international peace groups who sponsor the protests were named in the Volker report as being on Saddam's pay role in the oil for food scandal.
