Spitting On The First Amendment
Aha, we finally find the real spitters. I always knew that a tactic this vile was much more likely to belong to their side.

Tens of thousands denounce Iraq war at Washington rally by Nadia Teskrat
1 hour, 1 minute ago


WASHINGTON (AFP) - Ten of thousands of protesters marched in Washington against the Iraq war Saturday, taking their message on placards, "US out of Iraq now," to the Pentagon's doorstep ahead of the fourth anniversary of the US invasion.

Demonstrators from across the United States gathered in a cold winter day to descend on the US Defense Department offices and decry the conflict that has killed more than 3,200 US soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

As war opponents trickled into downtown Washington for the rally, organized by the peace group Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), Vietnam war veterans wearing black leather jackets and their families gathered nearby for a counter-demonstration.

Some war supporters confronted the peace activists, tearing up and spitting on anti-war signs while chanting: "USA! USA!"

2. Now we know
why bush can't get enough man power for his crusades. They are tied up countering the demonstrators in DC.

Did they show up and counter demonstrate the Christians there yesterday?
