It's so funny. Last night I picked my husband up from the airport, I was telling him about my new picture on the way home. LOL Thanks for sharing. :)

It's good to heckle these morons.
You can pick up a good bullhorn with an external microphone at Radio Shack.
Stand across the street and let 'em have it.
If they are too hostile, stick your bullhorn out the sunroof of your car, drive around the block a few times, and just keep getting the message out.

"Shame on you.
You support dictatorship.
You caused the war by making Saddam think the world was not united against him.
You placed our troops in harms way.
The blood of our troops is on your hands."

repeat

Lay the blame for this war squarely on whom it belongs - on Saddam and his supporters.
A lot of times, other good Americans will see and hear you and join in.
Especially construction workers.
The cops won't bother you - they wish they could go after the unbathed lowlifes too.
Be bold.
Be brave.
FReep 'em!

Rick Brennan blamed these grave errors on a "corporate-driven" mass media. He urged the audience to do their own research and "discover the truth about this war."

This concerned citizen is a bit more than an innocent Houston high school history teacher, comrade Rick Brennan is in fact an officer and event organizer for the left wing, and part of a sleeper cell of THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

"The peace movement is a global movement, yet it is largely unreported in the mass media," Brennan said

I wonder how much acid Mr Brennan had to drop to get that impression from the media?

He's probably a loyal KPFT 90.1FM supporter who thinks that station is the only truth in the community (of commrades).

Why because the students were actually thinking for themselves and engaging in real debate, no doubt. He hadn't suceeded in making them into "mind-numbed robots"

I surfed to CNN which was covering an "anti-war" rally in NY. These people aren't anti-war, they are just pro-misery. Unfortunately, I know a lot of people like them.

Every time I see The Great Unwashed, either on TV or in person as we are FReeping them, I am struck by the sour, angry expressions these people all seem to have in common. Must be a Commie thang.

I like that chant!

Houston has been very weak for protests. I have seen or heard about a few of them, but none of them have had over 100 people...usually more like 30 people.
