Exactly what I thought.
Not to mention that her grandson is over there fighting so she can STILL make an A$$ out of herself.

Yeah, and she makes mention of her son that was in the Gulf War. Two generations to be ashamed of her.

Protesters Gathering To Oppose War
By Ann Marchand

Tens of thousands of people have converged on the National Mall this morning to rally against U.S. military operations in Iraq, and a smaller group also gathered to express support for military action.
[...]
Not everyone on the Mall today is opposing military involvement in Iraq. A group of counter-protesters assembled about 9 a.m. to demonstrate support for both U.S. troops abroad and Bush's policies toward Iraq.
Kristinn Taylor, a co-leader of Free Republic, a conservative news and activism Web site that helped organize the event, said that 200 to 400 people were expected to turn out for the counter-protest, which is also supported by the D.C. chapter of MOVEOUT (Marines and Other Veterans Engaging Outrageous Un-American Traitors).
Taylor said that the group supports the president's policies toward Iraq because to do nothing "is the enslavement of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government having weapons of mass destruction."
Kathryn C. Wood, of Burke, Va., a co-leader of Free Republic, said, "We're out here to support the troops. They defend our freedom and our rights."

You know, I remember when we went to war in 1991 with Iraq. I think I was about fourteen. Of course, there was a lot of protest around that time too, and I had a few relatives that went to the Gulf. I remember sitting around the dinner table while my father and stepmother talked about the coming war. I spouted out some weird leftist crap I had heard in school (I didn't even really know what I was talking about). My dad got really, really mad at me. He was basically like, how dare you critize these men that are going off to fight for you? He told me it was my duty to support my country and the men and women that fought for it. He proceeded to tell me about Vietnam, and what happened to him and what he saw while he was there. Then he told me about how all anti-war protesters are full of crap, and a few of them spit on him once when he came back from Vietnam.
Hmm. This reminds me of that conversation. Too bad those idiots in the rally never had it with their parents.

Drums For Peace
"Anti-war protesters beat a large drum for peace on the grounds of the National Mall Saturday in Washington. Buses rolled into Washington from many parts of the country, delivering thousands for a weekend of dissent against war with Iraq that organizers promised would be peaceful." AP

You'd think that 4 months in a German concentration camp would have at least taught her how to spell Germany correctly Why? Over there they spell it "Deutschland". Besides, some people never learn.

(Join the DC Chapter at the Patriots Rally III on 1/18/03)
Anti-war crowds tell Bush: "We object!""The rally that packed the National Mall in Washington was estimated by International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) coalition organizers to have drawn several hundred thousand people, while the San Francisco rally was said to have attracted more than 50,000. At least three thousand people demonstrated in Burlington, Vermont. Several thousand people marched in Portland, Oregon. Thousands more hit the streets in Albuquerque, Tampa, Indianapolis and college towns such as Madison, Wisconsin. Protesters on the Las Vegas strip hoisted a sign that read: 'Elvis hates war.'"
Several hundred thousand huh? Did it look like several hundred thousand to any of you?
