Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.

They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.

The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.

The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

That Cline guy just said that our greatest enemies aren't abroad they are HERE.

I agree with him...and they are on TV right now.

He also said that they didn't vote for war...and he doesn't think the Pres. Bush would win, if he had to run for POTUS again.

Well...the war was going about the same in 2004, as it is now...and he DID WIN!!!

These people are NOT Smart.

[armymarinemom]

Well as bad as it sounds they have 3500 members. Our side has nothing like that.

[Mo1]

I need to head out

Oh Gee .. someone up yelling Gringos out of Iraq

[NormsRevenge]

Carlos, lol what a gem.. lolol

[bannie]

Why hanoijane's "apology" to the Vietnam Veterans was not accepted.

[CaliGangsta]

Diverse voices?!? Libs in hats, libs with cats, libs named Pat, libs that look like rats... sure seems diverse to me.

While I agree with kristin, most groups going to this are, there is a large group that is never going to be mentioned by the media. I know this because I talk to a lot of young people, early 20's, who could easily be brought over to our side but for a couple of issues.

They feel strongly about border security, and US sovereignty, meaning they are passionately against globalization, one world order stuff. I have tried to dispel this but I lack the expertise and knowledge to refute it in their minds. There is so much bad information out there, and these young people are trying to sift their way through it. I am thrilled to see them discovering the Constitution, as the most ingenious document ever written, and seeing conservatism as the way to go, after being liberals, (or thinking they were), but I wish I knew how to refute these issues with solid evidence for them. They are the only things keeping these "kids" from calling themselves conservative. They even support Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul!

Granted, not a large number, but there are many!

Arredondo..

lolol

Hervat: You can not oppose this war and keep funding it.

Step-son is recovering in Germany, but he may have to return to Iraq with his unit.

Gringos out of Iraq? Is he really saying that?!!!!!!!!!!!FGS

"Get the GRINGOS out of Iraq"???

Uh...he is in the WRONG protest...the illegal immigrants for RIGHTS march is next week....lol

[Sam Cree]

"Diverse Voices..."

The one thing you can say about these voices is that they aren't "diverse." Last I looked, socialism by definition requires sameness. Which is the opposite of diversity.

I note that the MSM seems thrilled with these people.

[Txsleuth]

OH....LOL you are awful..but it is FUNNY!
