The early coverage has been submerged in the A.P. article about the Chimp's campaign appearance today for an endangered Republican congresswoman in Denver, but 300 chanting, drumming demonstrators stood up for America, by protesting loudly.
Here's all that the A.P. article by Steven Paulson says about the demonstration, but it generated terrific visuals, which we should see re-played in tonight's news;
About 300 people blew whistles, pounded on pots and pans and chanted "Impeach Bush" in a noisy but largely peaceful protest before Bush arrived Tuesday.
Protesters briefly blocked the path of two press buses that were trailing the motorcade, and some shouted and made obscene gestures before police cleared them out of the way. The motorcade was not blocked.
Other than Cindy Sheehan and Crawford, and the Washington demonstrations, and the regular displays of memorials for the American military personnel who have died in Iraq, I haven't seen the sort of demonstrations which I remember taking place against the war in Vietnam.
I hope to see demonstrations like the one in Denver held whenever Bush, Cheney, Rumsfelc, or any surrogates appear for the next couple of months (taking some advantage of winter breaks for those whose schedules permit participation).
I'm going to get out there. Will you join me in following the lead of the folks in Denver (and those who preceded them)?
UPDATED: Here's a link to the A.P. article written solely about the protest demonstration:
Thank you, DENVER! .
