SEATTLE - More than 5,000 people marched from Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood to Westlake Center downtown Sunday, protesting the Bush administration's policy toward Iraq. Congressman Jim McDermott addressed the crowd, telling protesters that Bush is out for war. In a short speech, the Seattle Democrat didn't talk about his recent trip to Baghdad, for which he was heavily criticized by some conservatives.
Afterward, he said his critics have nicknamed him "Jihad Jim" because they have nothing intelligent to say.
There were a handful of pro-Bush supporters at the rally. One person carried a sign reading: "Jihad Jim loves Saddam."

Got cha! Thanks for the ping. Strange, when WE had THOUSANDS for a patriotic rally on Sunday the papers said no coverage because no one was working. Oddly enough, during the LIBERAL rally today on SUNDAY there were TV crews, cameras, reporters.... sickening bias.
