Moonbat anti-war protesters think it’s all about them: Protesters Don’t Feel the Love in D.C. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

WASHINGTON—Anti-war protesters planning to come to town for President Bush’s inauguration in January say they remain undeterred despite reports that Washington, D.C., is going to be a virtual fortress, with unprecedented levels of security, including military forces and every relevant local, state and federal agency on alert.

While the Department of Homeland Security recently designated the Jan. 20 inauguration a National Special Security Event, thus putting into place multi-agency security for the presidential swearing-in ceremony, parade and inaugural balls, protest organizers like Brian Becker of ANSWER (Act Now To Stop War And Racism) say the move is less a response to post-Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist threats, and more a way to discourage demonstrators.

“It’s not the first time that the Bush administration has used national security and the war on terrorism as a pretext to determine who can exercise free speech and whose free speech rights should be put on the back burner,” Becker told FOXNews.com.

“The idea that the Army must be mobilized and the most extreme national security precautions announced three months ahead of time — that’s not designed to intimidate terrorists, it’s designed to intimidate protesters.”

Notice the similarity between Brian Becker’s whining and the statements of Islamic radicals, attempting to call the entire war on terror into question as a “pretext” to suppress their precious rights, even as their self-evidently dishonest remarks are broadcast to an audience of millions.

ANSWER is, of course, a front group for the Stalinist Workers World Party, and these people are not really “anti-war” at all—they’re on the other side.
