"David Schwimmer" of the Protest Warriors picture from yesterday?
Does anyone have a link to something posted yesterday about the Protest Warriors in Crawford and how the Bush supporters were ripping up each other's signs? It called one of the Protest Warrior leaders the "David Schwimmer" of their movement and had a picture of him walking away, draggin signs after someone apparently tried to rip them up.

1. I think you are referring to this guy


Such manliness that it takes to stand in a street with a bullhorn and call for war...as long as somebody else fights it.

Of course, if he enlisted and volunteered to go to Iraq he would actually get to kill some of those brown people.

11. Time to hand out enlistment forms.
I see 5 guys with no visual sign why they can't sign right up.

Heck, ones practically got his own uniform. Ship him right over.

If these guys are so cock sure of themselves, they should put their ass where their mouth is.

Sign up or shut up, dudes.

13. Those look like some able-bodied young men to me.
Where's an army recruiter when you need one?

3. Regarding the first question.
I don't have a link but it was an AP blurb in my local paper.

Apparantly a counter anti-war protest group was walking throu the Bush supporter protest holding up signs that read,"Say No To War - Unless a Democrat is President". I had to think about this to get it for a 2nd. It is I presume a reference support to Clinton during Bosnia and trying to point out what these people feel is a hypocritical view. Apparantly, people could only see the top part of the sign and assumed these were anti-Bush protestors wlaking through their protest and confronted them with the result that someone, misunderstanding the slightly obscure message, tore up the signs.

Sounds like just a bunch of reasonable folk doesn't it. Maybe that's why Republicans need talking points so much, they can't tell each other apart without them.

14. The irony of the whole situation:
The "Protest Warriors" do this to try to get us arrested at protests. They intimidate and threaten, but never cross the line that would give them jail time. They intentionally are trying to make us do something rash in anger, and although they say they're for free speech, their entire purpose is to shut us up with intimidation or outright threats.

the irony is this: they got their wish that someone would attack them but the attackers just happened to be on their side of the fence.

:rofl:

16. Warriors? I don't see any
warriors in these pictures. Just pathetic wannabes who left their GI Joe dolls long enough to venture outside.
How dare they use "warriors" in their title...they're as bad as AWOL Bush claiming to be a fighter pilot. No wonder they like Bush. He's as fake as they are.
I can't imagine what my Marine son, on his second tour in Iraq, would think of these posers.
