Bush met by about 200 Protesters in Wheeling WV just now!

[ArnoldLayne]

I had to work dayturn so I got to the protest outside of the arena that Bush appeared at about an hour late he had already gone in. By the time I got there the Bush rally was just getting ready to let out in about 15 minutes. I talked to a lady who said there were twice that many people there when Bush's motorcade pulled in so alot of people left by the time I got their. As the Bush people were coming out of the arena protesters were calling Bush baby killer in Iraq,warmonger,AWOL all kinds of anti-Bush signs and yelling 4 more months. Bush people were across the street with the state police and city police were between us. They were screaming back at us if you don't like this country leave,Socialists,get a job,baby killers and of course 4 more years.The get a job part was kind of funny,like were lazy I just got off work which I enjoyed yelling back. It was fairly peaceful I was surprised we were able to get that close. We were actually right across the street from where he was speaking with alot of anti-Bush teeshirts,various signs and plenty of profanity and hand gestures by both sides and the police did nothing to us they were actually talking to us earlier. Wheeling "The Friendly City" is our motto and is on a big sign as you come into town so I guess that explains that. Talk to you all later :dem: :kick:

1. Great to hear it, ArnoldLayne

I have a feeling that the polls aren't telling the whole truth about your state, either!

5. " if you don't like this country leave,Socialists,get a job,baby killers"

They forgot "get a brain moran". Whats up with those freepers anyway? they have both houses, the presidency and all the corporations, still they yell insults at some protesters.

6. There were maybe 10 pro-bush protesters at Kerry's rally in Tacoma

yesterday. They brought some big signs, but there weren't many pro-bush people to hold them. There were nearly 20,000 of us and most of us walked by the small group and simply ignored them.

7. SOO cool--wish I'd been there!

8. Here's the crowd that was at the Gainesville SBV Rally

last weekend. There were so many Kerry supporters there, that I thought it was so nice of the ACREC to organize a rally for us. All the Kerry folks had a great time.





On stage, a fine example of a loyal Bush Supporter.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Yeah, I think she was off her meds that day?

But then again, she's probably like that every day?

9. Thanks for that report

10. nice

come down to parkesburg next week, we had about 500 or so this spring, dwarfing the bush votes, and we should have even more this time around.....


am glad i kept my signs :P fucker must be desperate, having to come to a republican bastion in a democratic state *twice* in a span of only months.

11. If there's anything Bush hates, it's someone who doesn't agree w/him

Nothing like having 200 disagreeable folks to meet him head on! Can't wait until he gets to NY!

15. Good lord, they couldn't even muster a quorum.

16. Bush supporters are not very bright, are they?

They tell you to get a job, when Bush is the very reason you lost your job.
