Glad to be there.

Just for reference here is a picture uploaded to the Houston Indymedia.org site:

...as well as some audio files recounting some of their reactions.

Interviewer:
There are some guys, that we walked by just now, who are actually pro-war, I guess. And they are advocating war, and they have signs that say something like, you know, "Remember September 11th," and things like that. And, uh, I hear you had some words with them.

Peace Activist:
I did, yes, uh, because of my son they started shouting to me I'm pro-rape and pro-murder. And, I thought it was very ironic because they were, they want war, they're for Bush. And I told them that, that war is rape and murder, and that they were being hypocrites. And, I just thought it was amazing -- that they could say that to anti-war people, that we're pro-rape and pro-murder.

Interviewer:
They also had signs that say, like, we're for real peace, and things like that. Did you have words with them about that as well, or?

Peace Activist:
No, I couldn't, I couldn't make out their signs for listening to their ridiculous words!

Interviewer:
I see. Did the police have to step in? Did they get violent?

Peace Activist:
No, no it... No it wasn't like that. But, uh, my blood pressure was going up I could tell.

The police did have to step in, but not because we got violent. Rather a bunch of these yahoos kept coming up to us and getting in our faces. Sheesh.

Another quote from The Liberal Rag:

also a personal low for me as we were approaching the park -- there were a few anti-protest protesters, maybe about twenty or so. "i support bush" with a loud airhorn (or was it a foghorn or maybe a leghorn?) and "you don’t(sic) love peace, you just hate America(sic)"

What a dumbass!!!
