Protesters turn out for Bush


It was like a war protest of old on Broad Street outside the Park Hyatt yesterday at noon when the president was giving a speech to the World Affairs Council about the Iraq war.

...

Scores of protesters chanted U.S. Out of Iraq and Bush Lies, People Die.

Hand scrawled placards blamed Bush and capitalism, celebrated unions, and declared solidarity with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of an soldier killed in the line of duty who has become the face of the anti-war movement.

About 12:30 p.m., across the street from the hotel, there was a disturbance. A West Philadelphia woman named Aisha El Mekki said police grabbed her 15-year-old grandson as he was walking down the sidewalk across from the hotel. They had come to protest the war, and he was carrying a clear glass of hot lemonade. His father and uncle protested, and she says police hit them with batons. Two hours later, she said one was in the police lock-up; the other had been hospitalized.

1. Figures that they arrested a Muslim

What were they thinking, the lemonade was some sort of terrorist device because "all Muslims are terrorists"? :sarcasm:

2. Sadly, that's probably precisely what they were thinking. This

admin has done it's job of spreading terror via Muslims well. :-(

3. but but but just today, Bus said, that the war isn't against Muslims.

Why do you hate amurca?

4. Not one thing, sabra, not a one, that comes out of dimson's

mouth do I now or will I ever believe. And that's total honesty, no sarcasm. :)
