Face meet night-stick. Night-stick meet face.....

What a bunch of losers!!! Our troops are being executed in Iraq and they want to protest Media, oil, etc. I swear these people are truly sick in the head.
My question is why re-inact a die-in while the real thing is so much better for our country ?

Gee. And I thought we had alreadyhad a "die-in" in Manhattan on September 11.

I'm all for free speech. I support the right of those who oppose the war in Iraq to express themselves - no matter how wrong-headed I believe their ideas to be.

But - from Michael Moore on down (or should I say up?) - decent, intelligent and lucid methods of expressions are available. And methods of expressing loathing and venom are available.

Too bad that so many choose the latter.

Please, tell me they're really going to die, not just smear themselves with stage blood and lie down. 'Cause if they really die for their beliefs, I'll be impressed.

It won't change my mind, but I'll be impressed.

Well, we've got our first idiotarians arrested from trying to close down 5th Avenue. Onlookers jeered and booed the protestors:

[Link: 1010wins.com...]

Then, onlookers cheered while the protestors were hauled away by the NYPD - the same NYPD that was part of a huge contingent looking for victims of 9/11 at the WTC.

The chant the protestors were singing today:
Occupation is a Crime, Free Iraq and Palestine.

Only thing they have in common - neither the Iraqis nor Palestinians ever miss the opportunity to miss an opportunity. Of course, freeing Iraq is precisely what the US is trying to do - the Palestinians could simply try and not kill Israelis and they'd be halfway to getting a state by now.

I wonder how many islamic radicals and america- haters will show up. Gather them all up and deport them!

i was going downtown for a friends b-day party, right near washington square park/NYU when I passed a girl skipping along down the street with a communist shirt on. She had the biggest grin on too. I wanted to punch her right through her idiotic face.

A die-in is when you sit in the middle of the road, douse yourself in gasoline and light a match.

I think the descriptive term they're looking for is "chalk-in"

What the flaming hell is a "die-in"? Is there no stupidity these spoiled brats will not use as an attention-getting device? I say arrest them all, throw them in jail for six months for fomenting unrest during wartime and feed them bread and water the whole time.

Where are the real New Yorkers? Y'know, the ones who should be kicking these Trustafarians' and Sandalistas' asses from one end of the island to another. I know you're out there; give 'em hell!

now we have a use for duct tape

#7 tom@work

Blissfully ignorant. But sad, isn't it?

#9 nah we should just send 'em to Iraq. It would be 10x worse! Oh but that's cause we are there, we are making it bad over there. We are the bad guys! It's a war for oiill!

#9

"Bread and water." I love it. A big complaint from among the 1,000 arrested in SF was that the "sandwiches weren't that good." What a world we live in.

"Die" in?

I hope they succeed

Only a few posters so far, but I've already been beaten to the punch. But, I'll echo my sentiments all the same.

The saddest thing about this "die-in" is that the participants won't really die. What can you do?
War is hell.....

Dammit, why can't they have a "suicide-in" instead?

#11 mal

You mean other than this?

[Link: www.cirruspilots.org...]

I can't believe this. Leaving aside (far aside) their views on the war, it is extraordinarily irresponsible to disrupt Manhattan at this time. We have extra police patrols trying to keep an eye on the city, and now they have to waste their time policing these yahoos.

Pissing off drivers in New York City. Very bad idea.

Al Queda and Sadam have both promised to take "rataliatory" action against us if we invaded Iraq. By consuming police resources that could be better used in our battle against terrorism, these people are helping the terrorists.

Occupation is a Crime, Free Iraq and Palestine.

Bush IS freeing Iraq from Baathist occupation.

Perhaps Sharon will free Judea and Sumeria from their occupation.

Alas, piglet, my friend, that is the only true occupation occuring in Israel.

"Vomit-in", "Die-in" I guess sit-ins stopped having the desired effect. I'm not sure who they are trying to influence here. Everyone not affiliated with these idiotic groups is disgusted by their antics.

#7 tom@work

It sickens me that "CCCP" is a fashion now, at least in the UK. If I wore a swastika around, people would rightly spit at me and, in the right/wrong neighbourhood, beat the hell out of me.

A "Die-in". Cute.

Why aren't the police using tear gas on these people?

Anyone up of a stomp on?

The poor babies "Aren't being heard." I get the impression that they believe we should all instantly agree to their position -- for some reason. They just don't get it. They ARE being heard. By a lot of people. People who don't buy into their infantile messages.

Oh pleeeeez let them really die! And let them do it before they have any kids. Please Please Please!

[Link: employees.oneonta.edu...] - that's how to conduct a proper die-in.

I hope it makes Katie Couric late for her spa appointment.

& what if this tactic fails to stop the war (news flash hippies - it will fail) then what?

The much feared suicide bombings on US soil won't be Arabs - they'll be white, dreadlocked college kids in "Free Mumia" shirts.

It's been obvious for sometime now that "peace" protests are actually little more than a kind of public therapy for people with serious mental problems:

Paranoia: The Government is run by a cabal of oil companies. The FBI is spying on me through optical cable in my dental floss. The CIA was behind 9-11

Dementia: The media is right-wing. The rest of the world is ruled by France. Baked hippies can stop bulldozers with their bare hands.

Schizophrenia: Protesting that the government has robbed them of their right to protest. We can't afford this war and we should spend the money on health care instead.

Delusional Disorder: They look at Bush and see Hitler.

Alzheimer's Disease: They think it's still 1968

Antisocial Personality Disorder: They think they can win allies and influence public opinion by calling opponents fascists and vomiting in public

Maybe they can run out in front of bulldozers.

Here are the people who have died to protect these worthless ingrates.

The most recent is Major Gregory Stone, USAF, the second man to die from the grenade attack staged by the Patron Saint of the Peace Creeps.

Does this make anyone else think of The Judean People's Front in "The Life of Brian"?

"Peace" Protestors Block Ambulances

One group of war protestors in Washington isn't so concerned about saving lives after all.
Matt Braynard was traversing city streets Friday afternoon when he observed a group protesting in the middle of 14th and K streets NW, one of the busiest intersections in Washington.
"At the front of the group of cars that were obstructed was an ambulance with sirens on full volume," Mr. Braynard reveals. "Fortunately, a group of police on bikes that [outnumbered] protesters quickly emerged and pushed the protesters aside.
"So this is what the protestors have resorted to," he says, "blocking ambulances at city intersections."

Inside the Beltway (Washington Times)

May I humbly recommend adding one of these fine shirts from protestwarrior to your wardrobe? :) (I'm not affiliated with them in any way...)

It's not too hard to figure out how these idiots can be encouraged. Some anchor on MSNBC just reported that the coalition was "suffering another setback after already being bogged down" because an estimated 70-100 Iraqi armored vehicles are moving out of Basrah.

Lest we forget, in a single engagment the 1st Armored destroyed 120 Iraqi T-72s in less than two minutes in '91 without taking a single casualty. We WANT to see Iraqi armored vehicles on the roads and in the open because that's where we can kill them quickly.
We WANT to see the Republican Guard moving South from Bagdhad (if those reports are true) for the same reason.

Jeez. Are there only history-deficit idiots graduating from communications schools?

Alas, the phrase "eat s##t and die" no longer has the impact it used to.

A modest proposal: Rubber-coated front-end loaders.

Finding the Teamsters to haul them off to Fresh Kills in a timely manner should be no problem...

Giuliani wouldn't have stood for this disruption. He didn't take this kind of crap from assholes. Bloomberg's not a total pussy, but I think he'll wimp out on this one.

We'll see.

No, I am not a troll. I was agreeing with #22. Judea and Sumeria are occupied- by Hamas, the PLO, and Palestine Islamic Jihad, among others.

This article comes pre-satirized by alltooflat.com

douse them with gas - "OK, who's staying to be martyred?"

I posted about this on another thread this morning. I witnessed the whole thing from 19 floors above the scene in my office on 5th ave.

"I just saw a big Pro-Rachel Corrie protest that blocked all of 5th avenue and 47th street in NYC - just outside my window.

A bunch of protesters chained themselves together and laid down across 5th avenue, with a cardboard bulldozer that said "CAT" and had Israeli flags all over it.

It took the cops about 15 minutes to get into action, but they eventually picked up all the protesters simultaneously and put them on the sidewalk so that they could cut through the chains and put them in the paddywagon.

Amazing.

Funny how some people who were protesting to support a person getting run over would resort to the same tactics.

The best part was either the bike messenger who tried to just ride over them and the Hasidic Jew who tore down their cardboard bulldozer right at the beginning of the protest (after all, 47th street is the diamond district and filled with hasids). "

The crowd cheered so loud when the cops came that I heard them from 19 floors up and one block away.

Crap, I can't believe I screwed up that link.

This will work

To anybody who runs a small business or works in Human Resources:

When an obvious Hater of America asks you for a job, give them an application to fill out, accept it nicely, tell them you'll call them when a job opportunity becomes available and after they leave shred their application.

I remember when I got out of the army years ago, some employers gave us returning vets job preferences. I'll never forget that kindness.

Yoo hoo, armchair revolutionaries...

If you are not getting sufficient attention (poor dears), why not go for the big kahuna -- self-immolation?

Big press coverage guaranteed! Your name will live long in the hearts of leftoids the world over, and if your comrades can produce a nifty graphic, e.g. the iconic Che in beret, your mug might appear of millions of t-shirts. Talk about immortality -- phew!

There is even a precedent, one Norman Morrison who self-fried in front of the Pentagon in 1965 to protest the Vietnam war.

[Link: www.angelfire.com...]

Plus, in using lots of gasoline, you emphasize how it's a war for OIL. What a message! Layers of complexity and meaning.

You just know that there's some jackass in that crowd who remembers that Bill Clinton pulled the same stunt during the Vietnam war and then ended up as president.
Is America going to elect one of these boneheads president in another thirty years? Or are Americans going to decide that a person's behavior really does matter.

I know, they should protest infront of the librairy. Block the entrance ya know. This way they can make the next gen as ignorant about the world and its history as they are.

Someone should hack the sites these fools are rallying at. ;)

I'm glad that the police are acting quickly.

Personally, if I see anyone wearing an anti-war button and they are working behind a store counter, I will not buy at that place of business, even if that means I have to go to Kwik Trip for my coffee.

Some suggestions for picketing the protest..

Sweet, more protestors in my neck of the woods. Look for me on the news, ill be in the gold durango with the dreadlocks lodged in the front grill.
NYC is not San Fransisco, this bullshit wont play here. little note for any pseudo hippies in the NY area who might be reading this:

My reading of things is that NYC cops will have a good deal less tolerance for a bunch of disruptive protestors than their counterparts in San Francisco did. Could get ugly.

Hmm, I think maybe I'll hop on down to DC and look for protesters to have fun with. If I find any that chain themselves to each other and lie down on the road to block an important intersection, I think I'll take advantage of the situation by repeatedly introducing their nads to the heel of my best stomping foot.

[S]ays Julie Zuckerman, a kindergarten teacher and mother of two from the West Village who is a member of New Yorkers Say No to War. "We've tried to use legitimate mechanisms like contacting our congressional representatives, but to no avail," says Zuckerman. "We aren't being listened to, so what do you do?"

You grow up and accept the fact that you've lost the argument.

I was extremely surprised to learn that those vandals were Muslim Arabs.

re: 54

When I interviewed for my current job, I spoke with 4 or 5 different managers & HR folks here, and the first thing on my resume that was brought up was always my Army experience.

If I ever start up a business, vets will always get put at the top of the resume list

Where are the real New Yorkers? Y'know, the ones who should be kicking these Trustafarians' and Sandalistas' asses from one end of the island to another. I know you're out there; give 'em hell!

We're trying.. Support for the war in NYC is up 10%, from 37% to 47%.. That is signifacent..

And yes, if I see these asshats in the street today I will make my views clear to them and pass along the message.

Oh, what a bunch of crap!

We New Yorkers have no patience for this nonsense (ever see what happens when a bunch of tourists in their Bermuda shorts, knee socks, clip-on sunglasses and point-and-shoot cameras stop dead right smack in the middle of the sidewalk and point up at something or other? It's usually X-rated), and we need it like a hole in the head right now, but at least we've got the subways to get us where we need to go. I'd like to see if any of those dweebs have the cojones to lie down on some NYC subway tracks.

Yoohoo, boys and girls!! It would be, like, much more effective to, like, paralyze a city like L.A., where, like, "you can't get there from here" without, like, a car (Hint! hint!). And Southern Cali is, like, omigawd, just sooo much friendlier than, like, grouchy old New York. Rilly!

In other words, get the fuck out our face, ya creeps.

#65

Remember that metal is a good conductor of heat. Chains around their bodies? Apply garbage can fire.
"Feel the burn" takes on a whole new meaning.

On a side note, new yorkers: These protestors are the same people who bitched and moaned until they banned smoking in all bars and restaurants in Manhattan. Show your gratitude by flicking your cigarettes at them, you'll be outside anyway (mutter).

Future advice for you New Yorkers overlooking these events from several stories up:

1. Find a paper cup.
2. Pee in it.
3. Open window.
4. Pour.

We're in a blackout period because the battle is ongoing. But I'm betting that the Medina, Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar Divisions are now flaming piles of junk.

Waitaminnit - This isn't just about lying down and blocking traffic.

From #53's link:

"...obstructing traffic, smashing store windows, defacing private and public property and shouting slogans at an extremely loud volume."

Smashing store windows???

Defacing private and public property???

Get out the paddy wagon, guys. I hope these assholes have a pleasant stay at Rikers, where the authorities haven't dared to enforce the no-smoking rule. Let's see what happens when the first of these granola-for-brains anarchists tells Atilla the Hungry to put out his cigarette. Chances are Atilla will put out his butt on Granola-head's butt.

That's the NY I like to hear!

A bunch of protesters chained themselves together and laid down across 5th avenue, with a cardboard bulldozer that said "CAT" and had Israeli flags all over it.

Bet they couldn't spell Caterpillar.

Seeing as the bulldozer suicide had such a warner brothers/ roadrunner quality to it, they should have written "acme" on the side.

"We've tried to use legitimate mechanisms like contacting our congressional representatives, but to no avail," says Zuckerman. "We aren't being listened to, so what do you do?"

What do you do? An excellent question.

1. Get better arguments - even Salon knows it's not "all about the oil".
2. Get less shrill - most people are totally turned off by any message that's shouted at them.
3. Try not impeding peoples' lives - most people aren't interested in your principles if you make them late for work.
4. Pretend to have jobs - nothing says "unemployed looser" like a protester on the streets during business hours on a Thursday.
5. Be patient - it took Vietnam protesters how many years to make a dent in US policy?

My humble suggestions to the anti-war crowd. (Of course, they'll totally ignore me because, after all, I'm a capitalist white male pig...)

hopefully nurse bloombergh will grow a set and remind the precinct commanders that billy clubs are part of the uniform for a reason.

a nite or two in rikers will open the eyes of some of these morons.

Our troops are over in Iraq fighting for our freedom. I hope they don't hear about the "die-in". They need our support; not this crap.

I hope it snows or rains on this sad group of humanity. Or a gale-force wind would be nice. If not, guess New Yorkers will have to make do with a handfull of rotten tomatoes. And all of you be sure to fly your flags in support of our troops.

Fellow Gotham residents and LGF posters!

Let us act collectively in a counter protest. I can tell you are out there, gazing down on the streets of our Faire City from your expansive corner offices. American flag pins, protestwarrior.com signs, let's show the idiotarians NYC has alternative voices. Email me and let's get serious about this.

Liberty and union, one and indivisible, now and forever.

To any New Yorkers on this thread:

I'm coming in for the 5 boro bike tour the first weekend in May.

For those of you who have been through this before, do you think this is protest crap ever going to end? Do you have any suggestions as to which areas to avoid regarding these peaceniks?

I'm bringing a conservative friend with me to NYC and I'd hate for him to have the wrong impression about your city.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx,

#32,

Very nice! A DSM list of peace-nik mental illnesses. I have just one criticism: your definition for schizophrenia would be better suited for multiple personality disorder (MPD). Schizophrenia is not split personalities, but usually presents as extreme paranoia and delusions. Seriously, I think lots of the tinfoil hat crowd may be schizophrenic with the crazy conspiracy theories they spout. Unfortunately, liberals have made it almost impossible for mentally ill folks to get treatment, since they feel psychosis is merely the eccentric and unique behavior of "individuals" that "march to a different beat." The DU would be shut down if all members were each given a good dose of Haldol.

just bulldoze 'em baby

The Hessian at point #31 said

This must be acknowledged in a world that is so confused that suicide murderers are not universally condemned, where a cop killing slime "Mumia" is a hero. You watch, after the first suicide murderer strikes in the USA, the media will blame Bush, and try to understand this person. Excuse me as I have my own vomit-in

I just did my 2 bits for new york - cheap labor for right wing publications ;)

Look at the San Fran pissants complaining that the media isn't giving them enough attention

Clicky here

Here's a little love note I sent these chuckle-f*cks. A little late but it made feel reeeaaalllll good. And ain't feelin' good what "peace" is all?

Attention! Greetings to the citizens of Bizarro World!

If I were Mr. Hussein, how would I strike back against the American aggressor? Well, I know I don't have the military power to reach across the ocean. So, an effective strategy might be for me to set up two parallel networks in America to advance my interests. The first network would have the responsibility to disrupt financial, transportation, and other business activities with civil disobedience. This would serve to distract homeland security forces including police and fire protection from the activities of the second network, which would be targeting sites of military and national security interests. Now, I have just found out that I don't even have to set up or pay for the first network; it's being donated to me gratis. If I am Mr. Hussein, I am very grateful to you. As are my citizens...well....at least the ones I haven't yet gotten around to raping, torturing or feeding through plastic shredders. Oh, but their time will come, by the beard of Allah....

Again, thanks for the great work. If I run across any Iraqi nationals where I live, I'll be sure to direct them to your website. Oh, in case you hadn't heard, there was already a "die-in" in Manhattan. It happened on September 11, 2001. You must not have been town that day. And here's another die-in: [Link: www.foxnews.com...] And one last thing: are you really going to exhibit the courage of your convictions and really die or is it going to be all stilts, clowns, and face hardware? Just a question....

Thank you for your attention! You may now resume your Bizarro life!

What is the deal with this supposed armored column of 1000 Repub Guard heading towards our troops?

That was then; this is now - make that

300 surviving Repub Guard running in total panic away from our troops

well as you know we've already had some of that here in chicago and after the first night's LSD seizure (the drive not the drug) CPD has made it clear temper tantrums won't be tolerated... the effect? only two - that's right - 2 - demonstrators showed up at federal plaza this morning after a week of daily demos & "civil disobedience"...I guess the rest are all off sulking

where are those 4 cops who shot amadou diallo when u need them?
41 bullets per protester is enough to end the riot

What ever happened to all those naked protests?
C'mon lefties! Have a big naked party in Times Square! Show everyone that you've got some balls. Literally.
And I want to see some good-looking anti-war women for a change. No more spindly, hairy-legged spinsters.

I for one, plan to be there tom. I will be taking my camera and maybe try to interview some of these wierdos. I had the idea of filling a supersoaker water gun with soap water (or urine) and spraying these un-washed wierdos but I dont really feel the need to spend the night in jail.

Nice try Eric but the photos are date MARCH 21st... Last FRIDAY! NOT today March 26th!

Plus they had them cleared away the morn of the 21st in about 5 minutes... did you enjoy your guided tour of the loop later that evening courtesy of the CPD? or we're you too busy posting on Chicago Indymedia complaining that your "rights" were violated because they fed you a baloney sandwich in violation of your vegan beliefs after you were "detained" on Thursday night?

Eric (96),

Where in those pictures is someone's right to free speech getting taken away?

Was there a point to that Indymedia schpiel?

Nice try, Eric. But:

1) You are still an idiot, and

2) You have your own web site to publicize your moronic protests/tantrums. I'm not going to let you leech off LGF, just like you leech off society. Creep.

Is my distaste for you and your friends clear enough?

#82 Tony -

If you aren't coming to new york in the next week or so, you don't really have to worry about the peace mongolians running around bothering you or your friend. Seriously, stuff like does not play here at all. Bloomberg will let it go for a bit to show how nice and free we are, but as soon as the reporters get their 20 second spot, it will be taken care of. They can stand in the park or on the sidewalks all they want, but as soon as they get in the street the paddywagon comes out; they made that perfectly clear last weekend. And I wouldn't suggest trying to block an ambulance or fire engine in NYC...a good percentage of the people driving them are new hires to replace the people who died at the WTC, they'll have no patience for this crap just like the rest of us won't.
Either way, if you want to avoid morons spewing liberal nonsense, in peace or war, I suggest staying out of Greenwich Village. Of course, I would suggest staying out of greenwich village regardless of the political situation, unless you like a circus style side show:)

Charles - did you just delete a post? I was wondering why Former Idiotarian was talking to himself.

As much as I love most of the times being in New York, with the fuckface idiots here in NYC (the political diversity in NYC is less then in Leningrad 1956) there are times I long to live in Wyoming.

Greenwich village has some of the best restaurants, bars, and shopping in all of Manhattan.

7th Street has McSorely's and Burp Castle.

Hold your nose if you have to, but the Village is a fun place to hang out, even if you're not an idiotarian!

John (99),

Thanks,

Kayawanee (102),

Thanks. I have a Frommer's guidebook, and Burp Castle is in it - supposed to have many different types of beer. Maybe I'll try it - at night.

Burp Castle

Is that name for real??

The East Village is more likely to have the rabid anti- types.

Tony, you might find more antis doing the 5-boro tour than you see otherwise. One civil disobedience tactic often used is to bike slowly in large numbers, clogging traffic.

Anyways, don't be afraid of bringing your friend. It won't be that bad. If you find yourself in need of others who agree with you, find a dive bar/workingman's bar, like one of the many Blarney Stones or places like that. I was in one the other night and met an Irishman who's pissed not only at Iraq, Germany and France, but also with his home country for bowing out. He said he gets into constant debate with other Irishmen at the Irish bars in Queens.

Remeber Homer day-dreaming of what he'll do with his snow plow? He'll give these guys a dose of reality.

Sorry, didn't know that was off limits. I'll try to play by the rules.

#105,

Yeah. It's called "Burp Caste - The Temple of Beers". It's on 7th Street (not Ave.) about 10 stores east of McSorely's. It has a gray gothic looking fence around it, and they've got some great beers from all around the world.

It's a very quiet place though. No loud talking allowed, and the bartenders dress like monks. It's definitely a different kind of bar.

Wow, I'll have to try Burp Castle next time in NYC. (Have friends in the East Village.)

But of course I'll have to have my "Victory Celebration" at Rectangles. Although if I eat too much Felafel, I could turn that one into "F#^t Castle". ;)

Hessian, #31

I think you are exactly right.

Reading the article in the Village Voice I get the impression that the "peace activists" are gravitating towards acts of violence. The protests of the 60s gave rise to the Weathermen and other nihilists; we'll soon be dealing with the same thing but on an accelerated basis.

"Eric" tried to rebut my comment about the low (LOL) turnout at this morning's CD in Chicago by posting an Indymedia link that led to a photo of LAST fridays action notone from this morning

Defending their sinless nobelmen at the cost of their inferior dhimmi lives. DHIMMI STATUS NOW!

Does anyone else remember that Charlton Heston flick "Soylent Green"? That's what we need -- some of those big people scoopers. Scoop 'em up, dump 'em in the back, roll on. And watch out for that scoop on the way down ... SPLAT!

Life imitates art!

This new millenium protest crap is like,... uh, so weird? It's a throw-back (or should I say "-up") to the Viet Nam era when there was a draft and you could understand why cowards would protest a war - any war. Only now, there is no draft, and if you ask virtually any of our troops if they want to be there, they would overwhelmingly answer yes. They all volunteered. These young people (I admire them so much) are about commitment and giving of themselves to make the world a better place. They don't need or want a crowd of cowards with a 30-year old cause to be "concerned" for them. And, the Iraqi civilians we're bending over backwards to liberate and protect in the process were dancing in the streets and shouting Allah-lujah on September 11th. They don't deserve the gift being given to them, but it is in the interest of the civilized world so, enjoy!

I'd suggest that we send these folks off to Bagdad, but I've been told that that violates the Geneva Convention.

You know...it's time for a Gattling gun....

You mean the NYC that wouldn't give the death penalty to the World Trade Center bombers back in the 90s? Ask me if I care what happens there.

Die in? Yawn.

Counter demonstrators should encourage the the Saddamite pro-facists to do something novel for a change:

Two, four, six, eight,
Why don't you self-immolate?

Now THAT would be news. And contribute to NYC's anti-litter campaign. Win, win.

Incidentally, I wonder if the abject failure of these "peace" groups to do anything except increase support for the war will drive some of them to actual terrorism in the next few years, as happened post-1968 here and in Europe.

The 2004 Democratic convention should be amusing though.

Peace Activist MY ASS - more like peace democrats of the Civil War! Left over Copperheads and anarchists, treacherous sympathizers of the Arab-Islamic secession from civilization! Why don't they come out of their confederate closet and just show their support for idyllic days of slavery, tyranny and terrorism. Abe Lincoln threw thousands of dissenters like these in jail - WITHOUT TRIAL. This is why Buchnan ends up writing for Pravda, and neonazis in Paris stray from their "peace demonstration" and attack jewish children. We'll see about Sic Semper Tyrannis, when we jam a tomahawk in Saddams ass!

I'm looking at Manhattan traffic cams and it looks like they haven't blocked traffic on Fifth Avenue.

#122 - um, look now. unbelievable

The people lying in the street don't realize that another gaggle of idiotarians just held a poop-in on the same spot just an hour ago...heheheh

rabid fox

I'd suggest that we send these folks off to Bagdad, but I've been told that that violates the Geneva Convention.

Don't worry, the US doesn't abide by the Geneva Convention.

i never realised that nyc was filled with such despicable fascists (i.e. posters #1 through #125). you americans have got your tongues so far up your own asses you won't realise it when the rest of the world kicks you off this planet.

#126
And where does despicable fascist #126 come from?

#109
Burp Castle! Must ask a friend of mind whether he knows it. He loves New York, though rarely has the opportunity to visit. He is a monk who used to be a barman....

Fascist schmascist.

Even Karl Marx supported violent overthrow of oppressive regimes that hindered progressive, egalitarian societies. wtfru?

How high-minded of you to denounce ALL forms of violence, all the while harboring such genocidal contempt towards one of the most culturally tolerant nations in the world.

- "when the rest of the world kicks you off this planet"

So tell me, when is this peaceful demonstration supposed to take place? Are Dalai Lama and his army of hippie monks gonna wear the boot that kicks?
