Guantanamo Protest in DC

Today in Washington, DC, Amnesty International and the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition, staged events protesting Guantanamo.

The first thing I found was the Amnesty International’s Guantanamo Cell Tour 2008. […]

My buddy Skye from the blogs Midnight Blue and Flopping Aces has been pestering me to come up to West Chester, Pennsylvania to cover her pet project, the Victory Group that counters the Chester County Peace Vigil, so I finally relented (I hate driving back into DC after the peace and tranquility of Real America) […]

Every year this event gets bigger. This year, according to Fox News, Rolling Thunder included 350,000 motorcycles. I […]

The last time I was there was back on their 3rd Anniversary in March. The FReepers and Protest Warriors still own all four corners […]

Mothers’ Day Peace-nik (now with IVAW)

I went to the Code Pink Mothers’ Day protest in front of the White House two years ago and they were able to scrape together a few hundred people; They even had giant puppets; But those heady days of yore are gone. Today, they couldn’t even get in front of the White House. The closest […]

This time they’re casting spells on the marines recruiting there. Melanie Morgan has links and pictures here and here. And of course, my favorite photo blogger, Zombie, […]

Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club

I read over at Michelle Malkin‘s, and later at Ace Of Spades, about Jeremiah Wright’s impending speech at the National Press Club for an “NPC Breakfast”. Michele had links to the Free Republic‘s intention to protest there, so I packed up my cameras and headed over there. It rained the whole time the Free Republic […]
