DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Four peace activists were arrested on Friday as they attempted to make a "citizens arrest" of Karl Rove, who was one of President George W. Bush's top aides before leaving the administration last year.

"It should be Karl Rove in that van. War Criminal!"

"To be silent when major crimes are being committed against all humanity makes us accomplices," Gwinn told reporters just before his prearranged arrest, which took place when protestors stepped past a gate.

How freakin' miserable of a life do you have to have to be able to take time away from it to protest Karl Rove, for crying out loud?

If I were a jihadist I would give thanks and praise to Allah for useful idiots such as this.

Well said. The jihadists fear and respect our military but look upon fools like this as idiots and easy marks.

Whats not to like? They've found fools for accomplices who will "work" for free!

I'd be ecstatic and give them every dirty, sweaty, non-human job they could imagine!

Total tools.

Next they’ll try to arrest Rush Limbaugh for daring to exercise Constitutional rights while not a lefty.

They may wait for next year, in the hope that Obama’s People’s Security Force will do it for them.

Give me a break. These people are beyond basic, garden variety mental illness they are absolutely delusional. I would not be surprised to see many of them in institutions (beyond the obvious jail) in years to come. That is if they already have not been or aren't on a day pass right now.

Poor Karl. I am sure he handled it with great aplomb as usual.

They are the exact leftist equivalent of the right-wingnuts who claim that the goverment is run by Zionists, Federal Reserve notes aren't legal currency, the government is building secret mass detention camps, the NAFTA highway will be used to ferry Chinese troops from Central America to Des Moines, etc, etc.

And remember everyone thought those types were reasonably harmless until one of them parked a rental van in front of a Federal building in Oklahoma City.

These "citizen arrests for war criminals" types worry me just as much as the extremist anti-government right-wingnuts. Eventually one of these lefties will go Timothy McVeigh. It's just a matter of time.

Even if you leave their criminality aside, they aren't "peace activists". They're war activists.

They are PRO war. They're just on the other side is all.

Wonder where this idiot was when Pol Pot, Castro, Mao, Hussein, Ahmaheadjob and the rest of the looney tune circus was/is doing their dirty work?

Exactly.

They called Hanoi Jane Fonda a peace activist as well.

What she was, was a pro-Communist, pro-North Vietnamese/Viet Cong traitor.

In the lead-up to the Iraq War, like many FReepers, we helped put a rally in support of the troops together at the Iowa State Capitol.

In about four days, and with no money to speak of, we pulled together about 2500 flag-waving patriotic citizens to show up on the Capitol steps, including dozens of family members of servicemen and women. It was a moving event.

While we were doing that, about fifty of these peace rioters were out at Camp Dodge getting themselves arrested for trespassing protesting the war.

Of course the local media made it look like their “crowd” of fifty law-breakers were equal in size to the turnout at our event.

I just went to the Des Moines Register website and there is not a word about this. But somehow, Reuters feels this is a “national” story. Four people! No, of course Reuters has no bias.
