"If you disagree with this war," she added, "it is your duty to stand up and let the world know."

Or in this case, lay down and play dead. Idiots.

Like, wow, dude...

If onlookers said at least 10,000, then there had to be 2,000 people there. That’s how it works with protest numbers math. Either way, Big Fat Hairy Deal.

> a symbolic “die-in” as part of a protest staged in cities across the country against the war in Iraq.

Why symbolic? Why not really die like those buddist monks that died by fire in Vietnam?

No balls? No real conviction? What?

A million Iraqi dead? Why stop there?
Why not make up 10 million dead? That would be 10 times as powerful, right?

Maybe they should put a steel cage around them and leave them there. That’s what they are going to get if they elect Hillary.

Saddam Hussein

Full name Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti. AKA ‘Great Uncle’, AKA ‘Lion of Babylon’, AKA ‘Lion of Iraq’, AKA ‘Beast of Baghdad’. Saddam translates to ‘One Who Confronts’.

Country: Iraq.

Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqi and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranian combatants killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or “disappeared”. No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shia Muslims killed during Hussein’s reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 150,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shias and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.

Next year they are going to give everybody in the group stilts to march around town as a symbolic gesture of taking the moral high ground above Bush. 10,000 people on stilts... you gotta see it.

War is the defender’s reply to the aggressor’s question.

Surrender is the serf’s reply.

Aggression is continual. Defense against the aggressors is optional — at least in the minds of Liberals and Moonbats.

Those anti-war protests and die-ins are so 60’s San Francisco...the difference is the Viet Cong was not out to kill us.

there was a big "war protest" in downtown LA today as well

I accidentally stumbled into it when I got off the freeway today to go to an old favorite sandwich shop, , traffic was all backed up,(strange for a saturday), turns out it was an anti-war/(anti bush) protest.

A mob of the goofy looking hippies were crossing the street in front of me at the light with their ant-bush signs and I honked,

the whole crowd looked over and gave the peace sign as if I was honking in solidarity.......I stuck my head out the window and yelled in a booming voice " where were you when Clinton was bombing Sarajevo ?....idiots !,....go home ! the Iraq war is over anyway ! we won....!( my throat still hurts)

you should have seen them turn all white and confused looking !

some cops standing there started busting up laughing

I guess you had to be there, it sounds pretty stupid now, but I couldnt just sit silent while we have troops over there

On cue from a bullhorn's blast, thousands of protesters fell to the pavement...

...like the trained sheep that they are.

Lefties have missed the message things are going so well on the war front the MSM has stopped covering it.
