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.

Word is that Edwards is the Iowa favorite at the moment. (I'll never understand why...except perhaps there's such slim pickings.)

Longest 2 years in our lives coming up....she owns Universal Health Care, chil'ren, and is battling Pelosi for the Women in Charge theme.

doom and gloom, doom and gloom

[Howlin]

She surely has; she doesn't sound so SHRILL, does she?

Here comes Hillary Care again; wonder if she'll try to keep the participants a secret this time?

[jincarolina]

Children's hospitals? When has she done this work?

I remember her refusing to be photographed with SICK children.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks freema, I'm guessing Tim Robbins is trying to make his own headlines...

[cibco]

She brought a live prop!

[Howlin]

Did it get this bad since the Democrats got the power? Wow.

I don't believe Bush has cut back one dime on any government programs, especially health.

[Thrownatbirth]

Ha! DUmmies are getting all distraught that Jon Carry's mouth will be MSM's lead story.

[Carolinamom]

Didn't she require healthy children for those photos?

[Miss Marple]

Oops...she almost lapsed into screech mode but caught herself.

[Howlin]

OMG, she's talking about insurance companies not paying for certain diseases, when SHE is the one who was going to make a LIST of the "acceptabel/payable" diseases back in HillaryCare!

She was going to rate them for importance!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's an old thread on the incident. It was denied, spun and, finally confirmed after the heat got so bad even the MSM was ready to pick up the story. Once it was discovered that it was Hillary's rent a mob, the story died, as if that revelation somehow made it OK. Not to me.

[Howlin]

Yes, she did.

[fatima]

I am not watching her.Can't do it.

[Miss Marple]

Hey, she is going to deal with obesity!

Probably food rations!

Iraq question on how many troops will eventually go.

[Carolinamom]

She brought Chelsea's crib/play pen to The View...or so I read....a gun to my head would not convince me to watch dreadful show.

[AGreatPer]

There is a link to the story on Drudge. It is all hearsay so far. souce is msnbc.

[RatsDawg]

I was thinking the same thing....

So her husband had Health Care perfect at the end of the 90's but now its bad again or even worse than the early 90's?
