Anti-war 'virtual march' jams Hill circuits

An anti-war "virtual march" yesterday aimed at Capitol Hill led to a deluge of phone calls to some lawmakers' offices but barely had an effect on others.

Although organizers of the Virtual March on Washington said 120,000 people had registered with the anti-war Web site www.moveon.org to call Capitol Hill, some offices there reported only moderately more traffic than usual. Others, such as the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, had six operators answering continuously ringing lines.

>> The protest was organized by the Web site, which was founded in 1998 by California software developers Wes Boyd and Joan Blades to oppose President Clinton's impeachment. <<

Ironic that Clinton was bombing the cr@p out of Iraq at that time (and going at it unilaterially to boot!) I can picture the current "anti-war" loonies back then:

'HOW DARE ANYONE QUESTION THE PRESIDENT'S RIGHT TO BOMB IRAQ!! WE STAND UNITED BEHIND BILL CLINTON AND CALL FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF THAT PORNOGRAPHER KEN STARR FOR DARING TO INVESTIGATE HIM!'

>> Andy Davis, spokesman for Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, South Carolina Republican, called the anti-war reaction "mild." "We were expecting higher amounts," he said. <<

Fritz "I love segregation" Hollings is a lifelong Democrat. Article typo or media bias?

I registered a couple of phony characters:

Stupid Idiot
E-mail: rosie@iluvsaddam.org
message: Anything we can do to help our good buddy Saddam.

Richard "Dick" Head
E-mail: traitor@iluvsaddam.org
message: Anything we can do to help our good buddy Saddam.

I hope those characters help to undermine the sleazy pacifists efforts.
