WASHINGTON (AP) - Several thousand anti-war demonstrators marched through downtown Washington on Saturday, clashing with police at the foot of the Capitol steps where at least 160 protesters were arrested.
The arrests came after protesters lay down on the Capitol lawn in what they called a "die in" - with signs on top of their bodies to represent soldiers killed in Iraq. When police took no action, some of the protesters started climbing over a barricade at the foot of the Capitol steps.
Many were arrested without a struggle after they jumped over the waist-high barrier. But some grew angry as police with shields and riot gear attempted to push them back. At least two people were showered with chemical spray. Protesters responded by throwing signs and chanting: "Shame on you."Libs on parade.
Their concept of geopolitics as well as reality could fit into a thimble.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan told the crowd is was time to be assertive.
"It's time to lay our bodies on the line and say we've had enough," she said. "It's time to shut this city down."What's Cindy doing out of jail? She been arrested, what? 500 times? The last being at the Petraeus hearing when some Dems staffers granted access to Code Pink.
Maybe they promised not to be disruptive. Ha.
Nah, she won't do it again and who is paying her bail and legal fees? She has no job.
If Code Pink cad fool the Dems imagine what Imonajihad in Iran will do to them.
It is only a matter of time when this woman will harm herself or others, and not just the American troops she puts in jeopardy every day with her insane anti-American ranting and raving.
This was organized by ANSWER, a self proclaimed communist organization.
Whee!
I wonder how many public school students were encouraged to attend by their teachers?
Organizers estimated that more than 100,000 people attended the rally and march. That number could not be confirmed; police did not give their own estimate. But there appeared to be tens of thousands of people in attendance.If organizers can lie about this, what else are they lying about?
