Mar del Plata, Argentina, Nov 4 (EFE).- A Nobel laureate and a leftist Bolivian presidential candidate - but not, as had been promised, an Argentine soccer icon - led a march of thousands of anti-U.S. protesters through the streets of this seaside resort city Friday, hours before the inauguration of the Summit of the Americas.
Retired athlete Diego Maradona, who had vowed to lead the demonstration to "repudiate" the presence of U.S. President George W. Bush, was in town but did not join the vanguard of the marchers. The explanation provided was that the former captain of the national soccer team was too besieged by admirers to be able to walk unmolested with the throng. The main personalities at the procession's head were Evo Morales, the Socialist, and Indian, front-runner in the Bolivian presidential election set for next month, and Argentina's Adolfo Perez Esquivel, a human rights activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980. Also in the forefront of the demonstration were Argentine and other Latin American labor leaders, as well as representatives of leftist grassroots organizations from throughout the hemisphere. Many wore t-shirts with a stop sign reading "Stop Bush," or one displaying portraits of Che Guevara or Fidel Castro. A few sporting the portrait of Osama bin Laden were also in evidence.

You bet! The coup was led by Abu Bakr and his followers, wounded their president, and held him hostage. They eventually were surrounded and surrendered.
The next time there's an earthquake, ecomomic collapse, or something, America should say, sorry, we can't help.
Since when did the US have any colonies in South America? Shouldn't they be yelling their complaints at Spain?
At least FTAA isn't likely to go through any time soon while big Hugo and little Hugo are down there agitating.
The U.S. violated its own proclamation (that it would not interfere with existing colonies) by taking Cuba and Puerto Rico away from Spain in 1898. Cuba would certainly be better off if it still belonged to Spain.
You mean Cindy Sh#thead, don't you? =)
I think it was here on FR where I first read "When another country has a crisis and picks up the phone and dials 911, the phone rings here in America".
"Ring, ring, ring........sorry, the number you have dialed had been disconnected and there is no new number, Please try again..."
From the land that gave us Che Guevara.
I met an al-Qaida guy in Panama City, Panama, in late 2000. I had just got out of Indonesia and headed to the local mosque for the heck of it since I knew my mosques, and sure enough, this bonafide member of al-Qaida was there, telling me about his mission to set up a madrassa in CHILE. He was an ex-Sandinista who had lost his other religion, communism, and had picked up Islamofascism as his substitute. Totally sick but true.
Yes, in 1997! Isn't that crazy? Most people hadn't even heard of Osama back then. But I knew exactly who he was even at the time. It made me very uncomfortable as an American tourist, because even in 1997 Osama was known to have been behind various bombings of Americans. Although lots of Americans didn't yet know his name, he was already a popular figure among the radical anti-American leftists of Mexico and Latin America. I guess they saw him as a revolutionary like Che. Needless to say, it didn't make me feel very welcome to walk through the streets of Mexico with peddlers hawking posters of somebody famous for having blown up Americans at the Khobar towers and other places.
Ahh, Maradona. Coked-up soccer icon who has somehow discovered his Islamic and Marxist roots. After scamming millions of dollars from the corrupt capitalist system, of course.
Screw em all. And I know a family in Argentina, and have been there to visit them. beautiful country, but moronic inhabitants.
Birds of a feather.
Does anyone think George Soros and Moveon.org might be sponsoring some of this? Who paid Mother Sheehan's way down to S. America, or is she still spending Casey's insurance money?
Zackly. I known long known this. Scratch a Sandinista, find a binladenite and vice versa.
Stop - I don't want to hear about the "motha" anymore. She is not news; she is part of the Sheehan/Wilson/Flame/Soros/Lyn Stewart/Err America cabal to take out GW and his admin.
Elvis Bin Laden, LOL
that's Dennis Rodman
