You guys are beautiful. Don't change a thing.
Hundreds of protesters in a park across from the White House Saturday chanted, "Bring the troops home," but the president didn't hear them -- he's in Europe.
They called for an end to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and the immediate withdrawal of American troops.
The protesters heard from Michael Berg, whose son, Nicholas, was beheaded by Islamic militants in Iraq. The Berg family considers the Bush administration at least partly responsible for what happened to him.
A handful of counter-demonstrators traded shouts with the anti-war crowd.
"We feel they're traitors to our country," one said about the anti-war protesters.
After the speeches, the anti-war protesters marched a couple dozen blocks to the Northwest Washington home of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was also was out of town, on a six-day trip to Asia.

Their maids were fairly harrassed.
That'll teach em.
I am ashamed of the actions of the clueless in the war against Bush.
How lucky you are my side is saddled with these.

Posted by: Donnah at June 7, 2004 12:24 AMGo check out the ProtestWarrior website. There are only 4 of us in the Tampa chapter, which is really pathetic, but then again...we don't have lots of anti-war protests here!
