PEACE activists have carried mock coffins through New York to protest against President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.

About 50 demonstrators walked from outside the United Nations to the military recruiting office on Times Square in central Manhattan.

Walking to a slow drumbeat, they carried black cardboard coffins, the first of which was draped in the US flag.

"Barack Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, especially after his recent announcement that he will escalate the war in Afghanistan," said Will Travers, 30, who helped carry one of the coffins.

I’d take that with grains of salt, because what if the infighting could be a facade?

What, no photos of the protesters? Bush’s protesters always got top billing.

I was eating a burger with my friend at Good Burger today when they walked past. A bunch of old hippies pretending to be vets. About 50 protesters in total. Quite sad.
