Protesters, Monkey Rally on Iraq War Outside Harry Reid's Las Vegas Office

LAS VEGAS — Protesters on both sides of the Iraq war debate rallied Thursday outside Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's district office, where Reid supporters waved American flags and his opponents gathered around a trained monkey dressed in fatigues and holding a white flag.
"That's what they are — cheese-eating surrender monkeys," said Steven Saul, a conservative talk show host in Las Vegas, referring to a label for Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., popular with conservative pundits.
The protest of about a dozen people and a "surrender monkey" named Hobo was organized by the Sacramento-based Move America Forward, a group of military families and administration supporters dedicated to countering anti-war activism.
Democrats also gathered outside Reid's office at the federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas to defend congressional Democrats' attempts to impose restrictions on the war as part of a military funding bill. The Nevada senator was in Washington, D.C.
Christopher Gallagher, who spent 18 months in Iraq serving in the Marines, said Democrats ought to be given a chance to change the course of a war that has been mismanaged.
"I think Harry Reid has the troops' best interest in mind," Gallagher, 24, said. "I'm not saying we need to pull out. I'm just saying we need to look at things differently and readjust the situation."
The rallies came as Reid and White House aides met in Washington to try to avoid a showdown over the war funding bill. Both sides have said they're searching for compromise. Reid said Thursday that he did not intend to give the White House "a blank check."

fyi
“I’m not saying we need to pull out. I’m just saying we need to look at things differently and readjust the situation.”
Poppycock! This is liberal doublespeak for SURRENDER.
The addition of the “surrender monkey” will drive them nuts.
If you really want to “get” to a lib, make fun of them, they can’t stand it. Getting angry at them is ineffective.
It’ a good thing they had the monkey dressed in fatigues. Otherwise, people would have thought they were looking at Lord Haw Haw Reid.
Minkey?.......Not Mickey, I hope. He was my fave..........

LOL I would love to see this!
On the subject of anti war, did anyone happen to se ER last night? Off topic I know but forgive me this time.
It was SOOOOO anti war, it was incredible! It was about torture, and the end showed a anti war rally. The rabid venum of the entire episode was very palpable. I was so irate I couldn’t even talk about it. They have gone off the liberal deep end in the past, but this latest caused this viewer to add it to the list of “blocked” programs.
LMAO
Mr. Teeny?
I never did watch that show, even though I know it was wildly popular.
Now I'm glad I never saw it.
And after reading what you said, I never will.
Wow!
Do you have a lahhhhhhhhhhhh-sense for you Meenky?
Melanie Morgan is HOT!
Keep you hands off my Meenky.........
Is she the one with the monkey idea? It’s funny. I saw pics of SF yesterday. If anyone is going to do a monkey rally in S Fl, let me know. I’ll join.
