Diverse Voices To Denounce Iraq Troop Plan [Hanoi Jane's war protest] [FR DC Chapter opposes]
Washington Post ^ | January 27, 2007 | By Michael E. Ruane

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.

~~snip~~

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.

".....and this is what your mind on drugs looks like":

As the bulk of war protesters chanted "this is what democracy looks like" on the Mall yesterday, a few hundred gathered seperately on the south edge of the Mall.

Members of the College Democrats of America mingled with the more radical Students for a Democratic Society and the Communist Youth Movement. Many held signs proclaiming themselves "another future leader against the war." Some danced. Some clapped. Others passed around a joint. Disparate in their affiliations, they were united in their chants: "College, not combat."

Happy to see Free Republic opposing them right on the streets!

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]

Oooo...that Jane Fonda sign and hung effigy may seem over the top for some. But since we're talking about that traitor bitch Jane Fonda, it was appropriate.

Thanks for the post and the ping. Was hoping I wouldn't have to dig to find something.

This gang of thugs today are second only to the mob of terrorists that took over DC on August 12th. Unbelievable!

They are professional protesters who will gather on a dime.

True! We saw everything from racism to What Would Jesus Do?

"Diverse." That means peoiple who look different, but say the same thing.

Here is a nice little game: go to the office store and pick up some colored paper, various colors. Put it in your printer. Mix the colors thoroughly. Make sure some of all colors get in there. Now print 50 copies of teh same document.

Congratulations. You have just achieved liberal "diversity."
