Drat! I missed a "peace" protest?

There was an A.N.S.W.E.R.-organized "peace" protest in Hollywood on Saturday. I didn't cover it because a) I had more pressing matters, and b) I usually park several blocks away from such events and then bike in but my bike is in need of adjustments before I can ride it. Riding in works pretty well: no parking problems, and it's easy to get around to various parts of the event. It's not so good trying to get a bike through a dense crowd or locking it up and then worrying about it, but that's a relatively minor point.

If you need a fix, there are some poorly-taken pictures here. The ones here are slightly better-taken. Neither sets are captioned. A.N.S.W.E.R.-apologist Polizeros has a couple pictures and a Ron Kovic podcast interview here. He drove the lead truck! Comrade "activism" has a critique of the protest here. I find his comments negative, hateful, and bourgeoises. There's a roundup of media coverage of the Hollywood protest and those elsewhere here.

UPDATE: "No Blood for Oil"??? That's so 2003! But, then again, courtesty of our friends the DUmmies, it is San Diego. The pictures from the Boston protest include a sign with the message: "Wake Up Amerika". Hmmm... were the Protest Warriors in Boston?

Other DUmmies seem to be afflicted with a bit of an inflated opinion of their own influence: "we're making an impact on the MSM....as tired MSM reporters search around DU for Monday mornings News....KEEP kicking up the Pro-Peace stories and photos...thanks..."

And, in a completely-unaware-of-irony move, they post a picture of a peace sign in Budapest.
