Need help--need the link to an article about an anti-war protest that was
picketed by two other groups, sitting above them on a hill and drowning them out with radios and such. the reason I ask is because one of the groups targeting the peace protestors was supposedly Rolling Thunder,(referred to in the article as a "gang") a pow-mia advocacy group.
I wrote to one of the chapter heads about this, and thought I had sent the link, but apparently did not. (the link was from an indy news site of some kind)
if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it and thank you.

Know there was more than one, but this is the first that's coming up in a search.


>>Opposing view

A smaller group of counterdemonstrators, organized by the Free Republic’s chapter in North Carolina and the veterans group Rolling Thunder, chanted “Swim to Cuba” as the marchers arrived at the park. They also tried to drown out the speeches with chants and patriotic music.

Lynn Huber, a co-chairman of the Free Republic chapter, said her group is determined to hold protests at every anti-war rally because the events demoralize the troops.<<

You know that Rolling Thunder happily endorsed Chimpy and participated in more than one photo op with him, right?

4. no, I didn't, because the members I know truly despise him, so thank you
so very much for the information. as far as I knew, they are an advocacy group for pow-mia issues.
