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?

[RDTF]

oh goody, another reason why Adam Kokesh will never be granted a security clearance.

[Brilliant]

“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.

[Clintonfatigued]

Media bias becomes more flagrant every day.

[piasa]

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

“20 Reporters Cover 5 Protestors”

Translation: 20 anti-Americans cover 5 more sworn enemies of the USA.

[Brad from Tennessee]

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.

“Then, mounted police charged the media present to disperse them.”

At our demonstration today we were showing the media that the paste we use conforms to the rules

LOL. The antiwar kooks reduced to demonstrating paste! What's the next chant..."Hell No, We won't glue"?

(20 Reporters Cover 5 Protestors)

So all in all 25 protesters were broken up SWEET !

[mdittmar]

(20 Reporters Cover 5 Protestors),Typical of the old media.

Remember the "Cindy Sheehan-A Private Moment of Grief" photo-op

We got 'em on the run;)

[shield]

They must of not had the proper permits?

[Ramius]

We give you thanks, oh Lord, for enemies such as these.

Amen.

They wanted to get arrested. Like the Pharisees who pushed their way to the front of the Temple to make a display of their worship, Kokesh and Richards need to be seen "doing good". However, Kokesh, in his own writings, notes that it was seeing a little old lady get arrested and realized it was only a fine and an hour or so in booking. Get your props with the hippies on the cheap.

[tgslTakoma]

Three people -- Tina Richards, the mother of a marine who did two tours of duty in Iraq; Adam Kokesh, a leader of the Iraq Veterans Against the War group; and lawyer Ian Thompson, who is an organizer for ANSWER in Los Angeles -- were arrested, Becker said.

Well, that's a good start.

Notice how the "leaders" never get arrested. The two communist Becker brothers (Brian and Richard) are too important to "the people's struggle" to get arrested. Or so they think.

So, while the communists' useful idiots cool their heels in jail, the Becker brothers and Mara VerHeyden-Hilliard and Carl Messineo have dinner at The Caucus Room.

All commie dogs are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Power to the people!

[tgslTakoma]

It looks like some good citizens of the District of Columbia have taken the work of commie poster cleanup personally...

*Not the best photo quality, because I was driving by, but you can see that most of the poster is torn down.

My sincere thanks to the civic minded DC resident who cleaned up this one light box in NW.

YouTube Video of this farce. Oh the drama queens.

[El Gato]

The charge caused a peaceful crowd of some 20 journalists and four or five protestors to scatter in terror, an AFP correspondent at the event in Lafayette Square said.

Might be a fun video to watch. Anyone have some popcorn?

No one appeared to have been hurt.

Better luck next time.
