I have a friend that lives in Portland. She says there are protests every weekend and she goes to them when she doesn't have anything better to do. She said one time there was an Anti War Protest Group protesting ANOTHER Anti War Protest Group because they felt that group wasn't Anti War enough

protestors are lame in general.

the best one was when the anti-immigration protests were everywhere, and the anti-illegal immigration protestors also set up a protest. the difference was that all the anti-illegal immigration protestors had to work, so they sponsored chairs with a sign that said 'i can't protest cause i actually work' and had their name on it. it was awesome.

it's pretty lame that she would protest outside bush's house because of different beliefs, isn't it?

there's a fundamental difference between sheehan protesting at bush's ranch and this idiot protesting at the muslim dude's place.

1. bush is the president and sheehan is protesting his policy, not his religion

and

2. bush's ranch is also his office. lets not forget how much time he spends there and the amount of money the tax-payers have spent equipping that place with the necessities for him to 'run the country' (

) from that location.

funny how you pick on bush for that...as if no other president has ever done that.

It is lame. I would more compare this guy to the people that boycott soldiers funerals.

You were the one who brought up Sheehan. I was talking about this ONE particular protestor who is a complete tard, and you brought her up as a parallel. I don't know what for...because it isn't even remotely the same kinda of protestor....

And of course I can complain and have an opinion about this anti-muslim. That's what the thread is about.

But, OK, this guy is protesting at the candidate's home?

Do I agree with him? Nope. But he has that right, and as long as he's within the law, then he can do what he wants.

But I think he's a tard with no point.

According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."

as of august 2003...

The August (2005) getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford -- nearly 20 percent of his presidency to date, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS Radio reporter known for keeping better records of the president's travel than the White House itself. Weekends at Camp David or at his parents' compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, bump up the proportion of Bush's time away from Washington even further.

an impression bolstered by Bush's two-hour midday exercise sessions and his disinclination to work nights or weekends.

so he's gone there some 50 times in his first 5 years alone. it would seem he is more likely to be found there than in the white house.
