Several hundred people arrived by bus, bicycle and foot Saturday morning for a peace rally at Consolidated School in Kennebunkport, which will be followed by a two-mile march to Walker's Point, the Bush family compound.

The peace rally started at 10 a.m. with a performance by the Raging Grannies, a crowd-pleasing group of older women in colorful clothes and wild hats who entertained the crowd with anti-war songs and chants.

Speakers at today's peace event will include Kucinich, D-Ohio, who is running for president in 2008, and peace activist Cindy Sheehan.

I guess this might be that "new direction" that the "media" keeps telling us that "americans" want to go in.

I though Sheehan bowed out of this sort of crap, citing disenchantment and weariness of attacks against her. Or was that just another one of her little publicity stunts to bolster her sagging support.

Her support has sagged even lower than her breasts, and that's saying something.

and peace activist Cindy Sheehan.

MSM is slipping, they should have said "...Congressional candidate and peace activist Cindy Sheehan"

Love the way they make the “counter-protestors” an insignificant footnote. Media creeps.

...and they also forget to mention Cindy Sheehan’s son who was killed in Iraq.

I’m missing the “flop” part. For a small, out of the way place a few hundred sounds like a decent number. Are there pics that show only 12 people and the amount was over reported? Is it one of those situations where they expected thousands and only got a few hundred?

"It seemed like our civic duty."

In another, more reasonable day and age, it would have been your "civic duty" to support the war effort. But that was in the Unenlightened Times, when the world was threatened by madmen.

Oh, wait ...

Sure hope some Eagles take pictures of the pigsty mess these “civic” minded (retarded in adolescence) protesters leave along their trail/wake.

“I hate protesters! All they do is make a lot of noise, accomplish nothing but leaving a lot of trash for others to clean up, and ruin peoples weekends.”

These people just can’t get over Woodstock, including the wannabes who weren’t even born yet.
