The creeps who are battening on Cindy Sheehan like starving vampires have spent more than a million dollars to promote their twisted agenda: War Protesters Seek to Put Heat on Bush.

WASHINGTON - Anti-war groups are using a $1 million ad campaign and a demonstration they say will attract 100,000 people to try to re-energize their movement and pressure the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq.

Organizers of Saturday’s protest, which will take marchers past the White House, say it will be the largest since the war began more than two years ago. …

Brian Becker, national coordinator for ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), says people have not forgotten about the war. “People are very angry at the Bush administration,” Becker said.

The anti-war groups began an advertising campaign Thursday, sponsored by the Win Without War coalition, with an advertisement in The Washington Post and other newspapers. The left side of the double-page ad pictures Bush and administration officials with quotes about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq under the headline “They lied.” The right side lists the names of American military personnel killed in Iraq with the headline “They died.”

A television spot, sponsored by Gold Star Families for Peace, is running on Fox News Channel and local cable TV. The TV ad features Cindy Sheehan and other relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq.
