I can't really tell my parents, "hey, I'm going to a protest today." Especially since their not the protesting type.

I don't think Louisville is hosting any protests anyway.

Ha! Yes they are!

Anyone else notice the high number of shills on these events?

always... and an oddly high number of eastern euros lol but they are usually very cool and certainly understand where this country is headed

Can we have a no war with anyone rally? I am sick of these wars. The next time Israel threatens to bomb Iran lets bomb Israel and tell them to shut the f..k up or we will do it again!

Wait, bomb Israel?

The protests in Canada seem to be dominated by left wing groups. The US protests seem better, though. I might go to the one in Seattle.

Looks like the UK protests are being spearheaded by the left. The anti-war right seems to be pretty weak in a lot of countries other than the US. I wish UKIP or other groups like them would rally in opposition to intervention in Syria.

You seem a bit fixated on that false Left/Right fallacy.

These were featured on one of the MSM nightly news outlets while I was flipping through so someone took notice.

Wikipedia says Stop The War Coalition is a front organization of the far-left revolutionary Socialist Workers Party and includes the Communist Party of Britain and the Communist Party of Great Britain. These guys make American progressives like Kucinich seem tame.

I would not feel comfortable working alongside these radical groups even when I do agree with them, I expect you feel a different way on this.

Luckily, Glenn Beck has encouraged his large base of Tea Party conservatives to protest the intervention in Syria in the US. I imagine that is not the case elsewhere.

Why are these among the ten whole pictures of protesters rallying against military action? The captions to each are below.

Irbil, Iraq: Syrian refugees at a UNHCR camp in Qushtepa park

Washington DC: Barack Obama meets his national security staff at the White House

Amman, Jordan: Protesters burn US and Israeli flags in front of the US embassy

True to form, this flag burning picture was the first pic of the slideshow. Nothing like showing brown people burning US flags to really set the tone for what these rallies were really trying to say.

The media is showing their true colors in this one for sure.

At our rally at least 30% of the protesters were wearing tea party shirts. Of course, that doesn't fit their narrative for the tea party, so they'll just conveniently leave that out!

 

[GunnyFreedom]

It's astonishing how I'm posting this picture from the protest and I'm getting all kinds of Republican and Tea support. Oh I am under no illusions that if it were Mitt Romney how it would be different, but just to see hard-core Tea people actually enthusiastic about an anti-war protest is a bit astonishing.

So I made the news...

Yeah. Hm. We do have 26 or 27 flavors of donuts though so...
