ANSWER's getting desperate. They are reduced to publicity stunt arrests of flunkies like Kokesh and Richards. Note chief commie Brian Becker did get himself arrested.
Freepers and the Gathering of Eagles are coming to town to counter the ANSWER commies and stand up for America and our troops. Come on down and enjoy the day with us!

"At our demonstration today we were showing the media that the paste we use conforms to the rules," Becker said. What a fun life.
Think about everything you did today, and all your responsibilities. And THAT'S what Brian Becker did with his day... showed off his poster glue to the press.

Mounted police charged in to break up an outdoor press conference and demonstration against the Iraq war in Washington on Thursday, arresting three people, organizers and an AFP reporter said. That's pathetic. They've been reduced to quoting their own reporters?

“The charge caused a peaceful crowd of some 20 journalists and four or five protestors to scatter in terror...”
LOL. Yeah, I believe that a bunch of reporters and liberals would be terrified at the sight of a few men on horseback.

Somehow, I suspect that there was more to this than a dispute over the quality of the glue. But what the heck, even if it’s true, it is only fitting that liberals would lose their freedom of assembly over another absurd government regulation. They’ve suppressed our rights in like manner so often that I don’t really give a damn how piddly their violation of the rules was.

Were there only a total of "four or five" protesters there or was it just that of an unnamed number of protesters, a subgroup of "four or five" scattered when the horse swung near? The author isn't clear. The article admits the group was small, which is a surprise given the media usually inflates the numbers of lefty protesters whenever possible. And the article only names four : Tina Richards, Adam Kokesh, Ian Thompson, and Brian Becker... so it does make a person wonder if ANSWER can only turn out "four or five" people for a "press conference" these days.
There only seems to be evidence of four, so maybe the author did inflate the number of lefties a bit... ;-D

As I remember, when 20 Swift Boat veterans held their first news conference at the National Press Club in D.C. UPI and one other news organization showed up. O’Neal and these guys had to write a book, have it published and make the best seller list before the news media would acknowledge their existence. The rest is history.

Their glue was probably hazardous to children's health ~ undoubtedly coated with cigarette tars and nicotine residue.
Sounds like AZCONSERVATIVE or THE ONION.

Having taken part in a few dozen demonstrations in D.C., I'm fairly sure of what happened here. ANSWER's people got arrested because they deliberately held a public meeting on public property, without GETTING A PERMIT.
The Park Service does not discriminate in granting meeting permits. ANSWER has held many before now. It looks like, in this instance, ANSWER acted without getting a permit so some of its people would be arrested, and that would get them some free ink.

At our demonstration today we were showing the media that the paste we use conforms to the rulesLOL. The antiwar kooks reduced to demonstrating paste! What's the next chant..."Hell No, We won't glue"?
