Hissyspit Goes To Today's March To The White House And Shoe-Throwing Protest PHOTOS [View All]

[Hissyspit]

Protests calling for the prosecution of Bush Administration criminals and in support of shoe-thrower Muntadar al-Zeidi held a rally today at Dupont Circle up from the White House. Speakers included DU's David Swanson, Col. Ann Wright, and Adam Kokesh of Iraq Vets Against The War. The rally gathered a lot of attention from inauguration passerbyers, especially those at the parade bleacher set-up when the march reached the White House. At the rally Swanson said "John Adams said he was going to give us the rule of law and not the rule of men. The opposite of the rule of low is the rule of plutocrats and thugs... Prosecution is in the air much more so than impeachment ever was..." On moving forward, he said: "All crimes that have ever prosecuted took place in the past." It's on to the swearing-in ceremony for me tomorrow!
