''I'm feeling very helpless,'' said Mary Fox of West Chester, Pa. ``We do everything we can and it doesn't seem to make a difference.''

She needs to realize for one she's in the minority opinion. The other she needs to realize that these protests put our military men and women at risk, just like those of Vietnam did.

Word is getting out (slowly) by a reluctant media about the rallies this weekend. A Google News search this morning showed articles in several local newspapers that mention or feature the Liberty Weekend rallies.

FOX was saying earlier that a major bridge between VA and DC had been closed this morning thanks to these idiots. Talk about giving aid and comfort.

Any protest against America is offensive.

It's hard to believe that people would protest a government trying to halt more 9/11's. I'm convinced that many LOVE being deceived. Whether it be by Saddam Insane or others.

''Most Americans support our troops and support the president's plan to end Saddam Hussein's terrorist regime,'' said Bob Johnson, director of Free Republic Network."

Protests can be good ---but it is my choice to be more influenced by protestors who look like they may have jobs instead of airheads who look like they just go from one protest to another because they have so little else to do with their time.

Several antiwar groups are considering a humanitarian fund drive to help refugees who are already fleeing their homes in Iraq.

This is my kind of protest. Make a point, yet do something constructive with it instead of simply obstructing/insulting people.

How upsetting, I just did a search on ebay for anti war, now I'm sick to my stomach.

I passed by a girl handing out antiwar protests at Highbury and Islington station. I didn't argue with her, I merely laughed in her face.

These people are pathetic.

This article is rather amusing. For the last year the peace activist have been putting anyone with an ax to grind against the U.S., on stage to condemn it. Everyone from Phillipean insurgents to the Marxist fringe to PLO spokespersons have appeared on C-Spans video feeds. Now these groups supposedly don't want to offend. LOL, someone needs a public relations manager post haste. It's too late folks. The party's over. You've already offended most every citizen in the nation.

This can't work with me.

They offend me by their very existence.

''The antiwar crowd should calm down,''

We need a pithy but more descriptive name for this bunch. I suggestantiwar pro-Democrat protesters.

Or, perhaps, pro-Chirac protestors . . .

Some organizers plan to disrupt traffic in New York's Times Square at 5 p.m., three hours before Bush's ultimatum runs out.

And they don't want to anger the average American? Smooth move, genius, make their commute home hours longer, that'll work.

''I'm feeling very helpless,'' said Mary Fox of West Chester, Pa. ``We do everything we can and it doesn't seem to make a difference.''

That's how the Iraqi people have felt for over 20 years.

''I'm feeling very helpless,'' said Mary Fox of West Chester, Pa. ``We do everything we can and it doesn't seem to make a difference.''

Did anyone elect you President, Ms. Fox? I swear, the IQ of these protestors is alarmingly low.

The adults are in charge, Ms. Fox. You can go back to baking cookies for Saddam now.

[MadIvan]

The presence of the war protestors is in extremely bad taste. Both the United States and Britain have made their minds up about what to do with Saddam Hussein. Under those conditions, it is good taste on the part of the anti-war people to shut up, and show a little respect for those going into battle.

If Labour and Liberal MPs can do it, I don't see why the fools in Berkeley can't.

One more time - I believe that if we don't stop terrorists and their sponsors everytime we can, they will eventually kill us - that would be me, my children and grandchildren etc. I am way passed being "offended" by the protesters and am just old fashioned p!ssed!

If they could see the outrage I and those who think as I do feel they would have long ago run for cover.

A coalition of groups plans nonviolent civil disobedience at noon today

If they want to stand on the corner holding a "shame" sign, I respect their right to do and I respect them for doing it.

If they are talking civil disobedience they are trying to offend and they should be hauled before a judged, fined then sued by those they've inconvienced with their wages garnished until they covered by the hundreds of thousands of hours of lost time

[JasonC]

The headline is pure horsefeathers. Of course they are trying to offend. Pouring blood over US flags, burning flags, blocking roads and bridges, trashing party offices, spray painting museums - these are not meant to convince anybody, they are just meant to make people mad. The more they lose and the more clearly they are in the wrong, the more reckless and stupid they become.
