Upwards of 300 demonstrators, many energized by Tuesday's election of Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate, gathered near Lorain County Community College on Friday to wave signs and banners and try to make their voices heard by President Barack Obama.
They lined Abbe Road, which was closed to traffic, to chant "Can you hear us now?" in the direction of Obama's arriving motorcade and later toward Ewing Field House, where the president spoke around 2 p.m.
About 100 of the group who stood to the end, shouted "You lie" and booed as the departing president's motorcade passed around 3:15 p.m.
"I called him a commie pinko Marxist," said Bob Trosper, of Vermilion, who waved a "DON'T TREAD ON ME" banner and early in the day led a group in the Pledge of Allegiance and chants of "U-S-A."
Trosper said he was showing support for liberty and constitutional government. He said he represented the local chapter of Oath Keepers, whose members pledge to defend the Constitution.
"There's a soapbox, a ballot box and God forbid, if it does come to it, we will defend our rights with a cartridge box," he said.
Demonstrators largely disdained the "free speech zone" designated for them by security officials near the LCCC Entrepreneurship Innovation Center.
SNIP
There was a supporter of the president near the demonstrators. She wore an Obama cap as she watched from her car.
Returning from running errands to her nearby home, Gloria Ervin said, "I hope maybe we'll get a peek at him."
Looking beyond the chanting demonstrators, she said, "I think if everybody did yoga there would be no demonstrators or wars."

Oh, man!
Yea...yoga. What simple minded fools they are.
Thanks Kristinn - and thanks to all who stood out there in Ohio to speak truth to power....
Wish it had been thousands ....but a 100 will do....or fewer - as you well know!
“There’s a soapbox, a ballot box and God forbid, if it does come to it, we will defend our rights with a cartridge box,”
I dare her to tell that to Ahmadinajab or Ahmanutjob or whoever he is. Yeah. That's the ticket! He's just tied in knots and needs yoga. *eyes rolling*
Bet she knows the words to "Feelings" too.

Ahh, the incomprehensible, inscrutable liberal ... I guess we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call it a mind!
Hey...I know that guy... who’s the chick?
” “I think if everybody did yoga there would be no demonstrators or wars.””
OK honey, Call me when your shuttle lands.
I agree, but then I realize that it was in the middle of a work day.
I live about sixty miles from Lorain and know that it is heavily a Dem community with Ford being once its biggest employer. It is a in a sad state of affairs now.
That’s not a chick, that’s a stewing hen, if not a biddy.
Yap - if Zero and his cohorts keep it up, there will be so many who AREN’t Working because of losing their jobs....that it WILL be thousands who meet to protest him wherever he goes...

Ohio is now at 10.9% unemployment. Many aren't in a good mood here.
Oh my!
I hope he comes to NC - we are at 11.2 Unemployment as of today!
Let’s get Zero in front of North Carolinians standing with our Dem Gov Perdue who raised our taxes last year - along with her fellow Dems in the NC Legislature....
I think they might draw an enthusiastic crowd..giving them an appropriate “welcome”. I dare them.
