Hundreds of people in Phoenix and Flagstaff protested the possible U.S. invasion of Iraq and President Bush's visit to the state Friday.

In Phoenix, police arrested at least seven people, including Eleanor Eisenberg, executive director of the Arizona affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union. She said earlier in the day that she was going as a legal observer.

You now have brain dead liberals in Arizona. They were a species as scarce as wolves in that part of the country in former times but nowadays they seem to be multiplying like rabbits.

At both protests, people carried a signs like "Bush = Hitler"; "Just say no to Shrub"; and "Drop Bush, not bombs."

It's funny. All the uproar about the idiot German politician making a comparison between our President and Hitler (and that uproar was well justified) but do O'Reilly or Jesse Helms get worked up about the young America hating democrats coming right out and saying it? Where is the outrage?

Just to back that point up a little more, here's a cartoon from Oliphant depicting Rumsfeld as a Nazi saluting Dubya- give it a look:

For me, this is outrageous and scandalous. Will there be an uproar over it? I doubt it.
