This group pissed off about hanging chads too? Must be the "international branch" of the democrat party. I just love PAID PROTESTORS.

The large crowd spontaneously started a bonfire close to the main entrance of Parliament, feeding the fire with posters bearing Bush's face...posters which they had been carrying in the hope that a bonfire would spontaneously break out.
Just about as spontaneous as those antiwar protests prior to the Iraq campaign.

Brian doesn't like GWB portrayed as Hitler? He'd better not be in LA during the protests! With their lack of imagination, the lefties don't know anything to say except to say someone is like Hitler. Who did protesters compare people to before WWII?

The memorandum demanded that the Iraqis should be allowed to determine their own destiny.
Isn't that the plan once the Baathists are put down ? This rally sounds like another 60s style rent-a-crowd rabble.
Have heard farm invasions etc on the upswing in SA so maybe they're headed down the slippery slope to Zim style gov't too.

I've come to learn, but this rally is not about peace," he said. Pressed about his views on the war in Iraq and about Bush, 20-year-old Brian said: "Bush did good things and bad things, I'm in the middle of the road.
"But I don't like to see him portrayed as Adolf Hitler," he said, alluding to a poster comparing the two leaders.
Nothing different in these statements than what went on at the pre-Gulf War II rallies around the world. The media chose to be silent on the realities of the protests though.
The communists used their useful idiots well.

According to Scarborough, precisely 9 people showed up! That's right, 9!
To: Pokey78
I saw this protest on TV. Look like the DNC and ANSWER sent some help to set up these protest to me.

Nine is certainly a slightly different estimate than FIFTEEN HUNDRED.

I have pinged the group.
I am being a little sporadic in posting these days, because of other distractions, so I thought that I would give you my Zimbabwe list in case you would like to use it.
I will still try to keep in touch and I would appreciate being flagged.

I'm glad you two pointed out the obvious.
Bush is quite admired in some sectors.
