Anti-war protesters arrested near White House
WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing "We Shall Not Be Moved," were arrested Saturday after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House. The demonstrators cheered loudly as Daniel Ellsberg, the former military analyst who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon's secret history of the Vietnam War that was later published in major newspapers, was arrested and led away by police.
In New York City, about 80 protesters gathered near the U.S. military recruiting center in Times Square, chanting "No to war" and carrying banners that read, "I am not paying for war" and "Butter not guns."
Similar protests marking the start of the Iraq war also were organized Saturday in San Francisco, Chicago and other cities.
In California, hundreds of people marched in downtown San Francisco. Hundreds more, including students from more than 40 high schools and community colleges, marched in Los Angeles in protest of the U.S. presence in Iraq, organizers and police said.
Some used the rallies to draw attention to the new military action in Libya.
.....and to think it was only a couple of years ago......they were carrying Obama signs.
And now they protest at The Kenyan Tyrant's doorstep.......

A kenyan tyrant! The worst! /s
Just curious. To which idiot conservatives are you referring. I have watched several newcasts throughout the day and all the conservatives I've seen interviewed approve of this action. Some have expressed that it would have been better if done earlier but I have not heard any say the USA should not have joined the fight.It's funny how the world works. Take, for instance, those idiot conservatives who so vehemently supported the Iraqi war and praised Bush for such a manuever, and who now bastardize our Commander in Chief for doing something that they could actually get behind. Throw in a dash of birther nonsense, a hatred of all things liberal, and KABLAM! An anti-Obama Libyan war thread appears!
All 100 of them? Really? Golly! that is news!
Or is it that you are inferring the passions 100 people apply to anyone and everyone who ever carried an Obama sign?
Personally, in this day and age of the party loyalist... it's refreshing to see a party criticized by it's own members... much more honest than the idiot my party right or wrong, and even when wrong, we're always right lack of mentality...

Would it be that it is you that is the partisian hack?

What exactly is my belief on the subject?One has to look no further than this very thread to see a perfect illustration. Of course, one could always adopt your belief on the subject. And you were talking about partisan hackery?

Agreed! Ill go a step further and say that Ill take Obama over Bush any day. I rather have a "kenyan tyrant" than a Palin or a Bush in the White House. I LOVE it when the radical looney Righties try to make the President look bad.... when in fact it makes THEM look like fools and makes ME like the President even MORE! :lol:
