Protesting the Protestors Saturday, July 17, 2004 LOS ANGELES —
At anti-war rallies, thousands exercise their freedom of association and expression, but, if you're anti-left or pro-Bush, speech is not so free. "You should be ashamed, you fascist," protestors jeered at demonstrators who opposed their anti-war message. A handful of young conservatives founded Protest Warrior (search) last year. With an in-your-face style the group tries to provide a balance at demonstrations promoting a liberal, anti-war agenda. "We were met with some violence," said Kafir Alfia (search) of Protest Warrior. "A lot of yelling and name calling. 'Nazi' and 'fascist' are very popular." Leftist event organizers have tried to kick Protest Warrior out of their marches, but police refused, saying protestors can't censor what signs show up at their protest. After starting out with a handful of people, Protest Warrior is now growing at rate of five to six new members a day, with chapters in 13 cities.

sorry. I honestly did do a search first.
I particularly like the sign on the front page of their site!!!
AWESOME!!
Where's the Belly girl?
chapters in 13 cities? Anyone know if Portland has a chapter? The Liberal nutcases up here have quite a reputation for disruptive demonstrations. George HW Bush used to call Portland 'little Beirut'. That would be great if they have a chapter up here. E-mail me if you know where the chapters are.
go out to their site, protestwarrior, and look it up. There is a section for chapters in one of the mouse-overs.
