 What I see is an article from the Toronto Sun.  That says it all.  About
140 Canadians are there, not even a drop in the bucket.  Blaming Democrats
is telling typical and just plain stupid.  Is anything negative ever the
Fault of George Bush and Republicans?  Apparently not.

> Kerry and his Democrats is backlash.
But of course.  The lies Bush told to get Saddam wouldn't result in
backlash, right?  Nor could Bush wanting to be the first President ever to
try to amend the Constitution and take rights away.  Nothing Bush might say
about abortion would bring demonstrations either, right?  Nor would the
shame Abu Ghraib or having prisoners in Gitmo, being held for a few YEARS
without charges being laid.  There are many, many groups in New York and
assertions that they're there at the behest of Democrats is idiotic.  Bush
and his Republicans gave people more than enough reasons to be pissed off
and acting upon that feeling.
Some protesters are calling for today to be a day of civil disobedience.
Will any act of civil disobedience be the Democrats fault too?
Civil Disobedieence has been around for a long time.  Thoreau's writing
about it was about 150 years ago.  He refused to pay taxes and he did it as
a way to protest against slavery and the Mexican War.  It's an active
refusal to obey laws, commands and demands.  Acts of violence are not a part
of civil disobedience.  Martin Luther King and the American civil rights
movement used it too.  People can actually decide they want to use civil
disobedience and they don't need Democrats to do so.

You are an idiot, you know that?  Prove Democrats are getting foreigners in
to protest.  The United States has more than enough people who are
protesting and nobody need look any further than George Bush's lies and his
ineptitude, that's quite sufficient and nobody need look further than Bush.
>That is not right on so many levels.
What's not right is George Bush's cowardice.  He has his friends trash the
reputation of a man who actually volunteered and went to war while Bush hid
out in the National Guard.  Even now, he doesn't have the balls to admit he
had anyhing to do with Swift Boats ads or the ones used to smear McCain in
the 2000 primaries.
A Bush campaign volunteer quit/got the axe after appearing in a Swift Boat
ad.  A top Bush lawyer resigned after it came out that he'd given Swift
Boats legal advice.  That's what's wrong on many levels.  Especially when it
comes to Republicans who are so dense they think voters will buy it.
