As far as I'm concerned, the idiots holding that banner should be arrested for treason.

I'd like to see the person who came up with that sign. I have a feeling it's Michael Moore, though.

That is totally and thoroughly disgusting!

These folks are absolute idiots. All you have to do is show them a map of the middle east and ask them to point out Iraq in less than 3 hours to expose their idiocy. These people are either one of thousands of anarchists who are protesting simply to be protesting or just washed up hippies who are stuck in the 60s!

The only ones that will be left will be the left--the diehards. The younger ones who are just out there because it's fun and want to rabble rouse, will get bored and be onto their next vice du jour.

When they keep asking why they can't fund social projects we can point to the overtime we had to pay the cops.

Man, I really need a roll of stickers that say "Wash Me". They would be so much fun at these protests.

That's old. I think they updated it to "roll grenades at" from "shoot."

Better yet, put them *in* the middle east, point them in the direction of the United States, and give them all the time they need to make it back home. That'll shut them up, one way or another.

Seriously, I'm all for intelligent debate with dissenting opinions, but these people are well beyond assinine.

Ugly girls (and old ladies) still out there looking to score. Just like in the days of the Vietnam protests.
