I wasn't at the moonbat rallies this weekend, but Hokietown, Grace, and Frankie the Peace Dog were, and they got pictures and video:
"He was keen on selling us various Marxist/Leninist literature and other wares, at first unaware of the irony that he followed his sales pitch with a denunciation of capitalism."
The video's priceless. Also,
"Who do you want to win the war?"
"I want the Iraqi resistance to win the war."
This Iraqi resistance, you mean?
The girls had just finished taking an exam and were gathering in an inner courtyard at a school in a mainly Sunni section of western Baghdad on Sunday when a mortar shell crashed down.
The explosion killed at least five girls, ages 12 to 16, and wounded at least 20, witnesses and Iraqi officials said, tearing limb from limb, shattering glass, shredding the students’ blue and white uniforms and leaving the survivors bloodied and confused.
“She hugged and kissed me, then went outside and the bomb hit,” a teacher at the scene said, referring to one of the girls. “After a few minutes, she was dead.”
Viva la resistance!
Update: The NYT and the Post and everyone else will whitewash the protestors on the Mall this weekend, but Roll Call The Hill has this story about anarchist punks vandalizing the Capitol:
Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.
According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse andDeputy Chief Daniel Nichols. "They were the commanders on the scene," one source said, who requested anonymity. "It was disgusting."
After police ceded the stairs, located on the lower west front of the Capitol, the building was locked down, the source added.
A second source who witnessed the incident said that the police had the crowd stopped at Third Street, but were told to bring the police line in front of the Capitol. Why are the Capitol Police ceding ground to these guys? I understand the need to keep folks safe and keep clashes at a minimum, but allowing spray-painting of the Capitol to avoid a physical confrontation? These little punks should have been frog-marched out of there, to use a verb they're fond of. I wonder how much taxpayer money will be spent getting rid of that graffiti. And, I wonder how much taxpayer money was spent getting rid of the graffiti from rabble-rousing pro-lifers last week. Ha.
Update: Iraq veteran spit at by protestors? Free Republic and Allah have reports.

Where's Cartman when we need him?! |

I saw them march up to the steps from about 100 yards away, they were not violent, they were not a threat. When they first started towards the steps there were police noises because they were remobilizing like they did throughout the day. Other than that it was fine, didn't see any spraypainting, guess that happened afterwards. I live in DC and wanted to see what was going on for myself because I knew the media was going to do nothing but talk about Fonda unless they could scrape another isolated incident like this. All people are concentrating on is the communists, anarchists, Jane Fonda and all were in attendance. This was the first mass protest I have seen, just bought a new camera and had to use it for something. But the thing that really took me by surprise was all the normal people there, church groups, grandmothers, military families, and yes the group that got the most applause were the Iraq War Vets that were protesting, they were the rock stars from what I could see.
Now I think all that Kumbaya activism is a joke, I think that Jane Fonda is a traitor, I disagree with communists and anarchists and all those crazy groups, but if you are going to complain about media bias all the time, if you are going to say that they can't report the facts unless it hurts conservatives you should at least be straight with the facts yourself, that it just wasn't just wackjobs and communists. Two thirds of the country is against this war and it aint all commies and fondas. |

While you may have been at the protest to lend an objective eye, your "2/3 against this war" numbers are wrong by any number of other surveys.
These self important protestors still believe that we were right to leave the Vietnamese to fight on their own against the communists. MILLIONS died because of that decision and act. Anyone who can now stand in front of the U.S. Capital and not be ashamed for leaving those people in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to be overrun and slaughtered is so deceived they can no longer see reality. Jane Fonda has no conscience or she would not advocate doing the same again to the Iraqis.
The rest of this country did not march. Only D.C. is enamored with it's own importance. The rest of us are embarassed by the elitism and egotistical, self absorption that everything that happens there is the apex example of what the rest of us are thinking.
I voted a president, congressman and two senators into office and so did everyone else. I can only hold them accountable to me; even if I didn't vote for all of them. I didn't ask anyone else there to represent me or to make a point on my behalf. And I am furious that the Capitol can be defaced and no one is responsible to clean it up. You spray paint it to make a point, you should have to clean it up. Once again, the anti-war idiots walk away and have no conscience for their actions. No wonder they feel so good about themselves, they never allow themselves to get dirty. They just smear the rest of us. |

So the “moonbats” gathered on the National Mall over the weekend for an anti-war rally.
Jane Fonda showed up wearing an old button she musta dredged up from her attic which featured the “Vietnam Veterans Against the War.” Remember that bogus outfit, which included such stalwart patriots as John Francois Kerry, who has achieved what I would have thought was impossible, becoming an untouchable candidate even to Democrats?
Brings back memories of the bad ol’ days, when Hanoi Jane gave her aid and comfort to the enemy and John Francois testified to Congress about the “baby killers” in Vietnam.
So far the moonbats haven’t posed for any photos manning the controls of any terrorist anti-aircraft batteries in Iraq or called our troops “baby killers,” but the direction they’re going is sure looking like “déjà vu all over again” to me.
And nothing has really changed. They weren’t called “moonbats” back then, just hippies, but the anti-war crowd was wrong then and they’re wrong again this time.
They hollered long enough and loud enough for Congress to “cut and run” from Vietnam but nobody remembers the blood that ran all over Southeast Asia after we abandoned our allies there. The anti-war left still has the blood of massacred millions on their hands from Pol Pot’s Khymer Rouge “Killing Fields” to North Vietnam’s invasion of the south as the result of the “cut and run” from Vietnam by Congress more than 30 years ago.
And the much-ridiculed “Domino Theory” proved to be true as South Vietnam, Cambodia and all of Southeast Asia fell under the Communist boot. But who remembers?
The Vietnam vets like me remember, but we’re a bunch of old out-of-touch geezers now who have mostly kept our silence every since we snuck back home, trying to keep a low profile so the moonbats of our era wouldn’t throw fake blood on us at the airports.
But the moonbats were wrong then and they’re wrong again now. And if Congress listens to them again and we “cut and run” from Iraq like we did from Vietnam, this time the terrorists are going to follow us home and blood will flow on American streets.
But who listens to a bunch of old geezers like us? What do we know about war? We just fought one, we never protested one. So what does our opinion count for anyway?
I’ll make a vow. If one of those moonbats in Congress who votes for a resolution, nonbinding or otherwise, that does not support our troops in this war ever gets elected President, I’ll eat my hat. Then I’ll start digging a bomb shelter in my backyard. |

Just around the university, which is the most liberal section of town, but they did march and they gave speeches too. The pro-defense protesters also came out, but didn't get a lot of coverage. |
