Democrat Conyers to Protesters: Impeach Bush

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- On Saturday, thousands of protesters once again gathered in the shadow of the Washington Monument to hear speeches against war in Iraq as well as to express support for Palestine and demand universal health care. The rally was sponsored by the leftist organization, A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).

Speakers from several other groups, including the Free Palestine Alliance, National Committee to Free the Cuba Five, and Queers for Peace and Justice took to the stage during the two-hour rally. There were calls for civil disobedience to begin Monday.

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) addressed the crowd and urged them to "vote to impeach George W. Bush." Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, founder of International Action Center, also called for impeachment, saying that the Bush administration is "committing the worst crimes known to humanity."

After the speeches, the protesters filled the streets to march around the White House. Marchers were kept at least a block from the executive residence by barriers and mounted police. Marchers made their way in a circular route back to the National Mall, but not before passing in front of a small group of loud pro-America counter-demonstrators from the Free Republic. They waved American and Marine Corps flags and shouted slogans such as "Swim to Cuba" and "War Freed the Slaves."

Congressman Steve King (R-IA) watched the march from Pershing Park and remarked that the protesters' message was "anti-American" and "anti-Bush." He observed that the flags carried by the marchers were those of Palestine, the United Nations, and even one of Japanese Revolutionary Communist League. More than one Gay and Lesbian rainbow flag was seen among the rally participants.

King noted that the only American flags in the march were desecrated in one way or another, some with the 60s peace symbol in the blue section usually filled with stars representing the 50 states. One flag had corporate logos instead of the stars. The Iowa congressman also noticed that the supposed cross-section of Americans that opposed the war were conspicuously absent.

When asked by GOPUSA News to comment on Conyers' call for the impeachment of President Bush, King said, "Where was Conyers when we had a president who deserved to be impeached?"

Exactly how are members of the public supposed to vote for impeachment? Never mind, we wouldn't want Conyers to be bothered with trivial procedural details like that.

Congressman Steve King is an old friend of mine, and is one you all might want to watch.

He is going to be one of the very brightest conservative stars in Congress in the years to come.

I've known many legislators over the years, both state and federal, and Steve is the most talented and principled that I have ever seen or known.

Was the Loose Anus Society represented?

[Petronski]

We need a full-scale investigation of CANSWER, I want to know where they get their money.

[Clemenza]

When the war gets underway, do you think they will get more militant, like the weather underground did?

Then again, the idiot "weathermen" eventually blew themselves up anyway, almost taking out Dustin Hoffman in the process.

[Reactionary]

You bet they're the enemy. They're Stalinist swine.

[Humidston]

What a load.... We had EIGHT YEARS of incompetence PLUS horny, obscene and smarmy.

All they have is someone they don't agree with.

Unbelievable!
