Thousands of people march to protest the war in Iraq in Hollywood on March 15, 2008. Opponents of the Iraq war plan to hold marches, sit-ins and other protests on Wednesday in cities across the United States to mark the fifth anniversary of the US-led invasion.

What a bunch of FREAKS!
They represent their side very well, don’t they. Especially the woman on the left of the screen.
What a bunch of FREAKS!
Where did I put my taser?
Honestly, looking at those pictures, there’s a lot of truly fruity people in this country. I went through the 60’s and 70’s too but never ascribed to this kind of nonsense. Bunch of aging hippies. They disgust me more today than they did back then.
Used to be. So was treason before Jane Fonda did it.
The death threat notwithstanding, these are EXACTLY the type of freaks you want representing the anti-war movement.
Thousands? I see 5 protestors and 3 cops!
Next week they march at Gay Pride.
Check out the police. Even the police can’t believe what freaks these folks are. I think I saw the officer on the right at our counter rally last year. If so, then he’s seen it all.
GOD BLESS THE POLICE! They have a really hard job keeping their tempers under control. Although there are some of them that sympathize with the Lefties.
What makes you so sure that’s a woman?
Most of them I think. The libs give the cops their big union paychecks and massive benefits at the tax payers expense. I’d love to see private militias and security forces replace local police departments. These protests would be quite a bit shorter and more amusing.
In the 1930s American Communists protested against the US going to war against Nazi Germany.
It’s always been Communists leading these protests.
Let them be seen as Communists and not a bunch of fruity kooks who “mean well”. They defend awful things and are against our form of government.
Want to see this type of activity spread like wildfire????
Bring back the draft.
Further still, I'm dismayed at the numbers of MSM who *do* take them seriously.
I might listen to someone who showed up in a suit and tie, and who spoke calmly with rational points. Screaming harpies in pink tutus wearing clown noses? Not so much.
Of course, were protesters to show up well-dressed, with cogent debating points....then they wouldn't be liberals.
Don’t these people have jobs and families? I mean, how do they fit all this baloney into real life situations? Can’t work today boss, got to be at another protest. Sorry, can’t pick you up after school today darling, too busy, but you can watch mommy on tv. And who funds their travels and providess their wacky outfits?
Great expose piece for an aspiring journalist, but probably no takers.
I think many employees called in sick today at Whole Foods!!
Liberalism, take a good look! Bottom feeders from the bowels of hell.
Since it is Hollywood many are probably out of work actors. The kind who also get gigs as “contestants” on game shows, are paid to sit in the audience at daytime tapings of talk shows and infomercials, etc between auditions.
That was only until the non aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin was broken by Hitler in the attack of Russia on June 22, 1941 in what the Germans called Operation Barbarossa.
After that the Left in America were all of a sudden gung ho Americans.....phoney b@stards that they are.
10-15 years ago the Secret Service might have been interested in the purple sign. Today, I doubt it.
But I thought the violent message of the one protester's banner deserved it's own thread and to be discussed as something other than just another "caption this".
If these flea-infested freaks really want to get rid of dope, they might try flinging themselves in front of a bus instead.
I don’t think alot of the police are Lefties/liberals. We usually get positive response from them at our counters, but lately we’ve had a bit of harrassment.
Overt death threat? I don’t think so.
Dope = Drug
Shoot = Mainline
Alinsky rules #4 and 5 in action. http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/8925/alinsky.htm
They do these types of things because they like to (#4), specifically to rile up the right and have them say, “A death threat!!!! A death threat!!!! A death threat!!!!”
Then they can laugh and ridicule (#5) those who go crazy.
Know thine enemy; Be smarter than them.
Sorry about #15.
Frightening.
Judging by the look of them I’d say they are following rule #2 too.
They look like rejects from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Don’t question their patriotism.
Can we question their sanity???? :P
No need, it is clear that they have no sanity to question.
Somehow I knew you would say that...LOL.
So they want to mainline George W. Bush?
I don’t think so.
Moments like that were made for teargas...
That why Dem Pols are keep saying that we need one. Its the only way to get a serious anti-war movement going. As long as we have an all volunteer force it remains the realm of fringe lefties and kooks.
GMTA!
If it was at death threat, do ya think the Gendarmerie might be, shall we say, intervening?
If you don’t get it, you just don’t get it.
How do they always manage to all get the same day off work?
oh...nevermind.
You know...after reading your post, I looked at the picture again.
I think they might just be helping our cause, whereas we don’t have to prove they are idiots...they put it on full display for all the world to see.
Yeah....lets just leave them alone. In fact, we should encourage them to be louder and dress more flamboyant.
I can imagine someone that was not so political watching these nuts and thinking that there is no way they are aligning with these lunatics.
“Don’t these people have jobs and families?”
They usually dump their families to become activists al la cindy sheehan did.
Most though are career college students living off of Uncle Sam’s dime as they persue that useless liberal arts or political science degree.
Those who have jobs you can find at the local mall working in the Hot Topic store.
“10-15 years ago the Secret Service might have been interested in the purple sign. Today, I doubt it.”
They still investigate it.
You can bet that the holder of the sign has at least had a file started that includes numerous photographs, name, address, etc.
Sometimes they do show up, in bigger numbers than the pinkos but the MSM, even FoxNews ignores them.
Ping.
yeah, a bunch of clowns.
