This is the Headline:
PARADE OF 4,000 Iraq war veterans protest at convention
This is the story:
About 50 Iraq war veterans led a parade of thousands of demonstrators Wednesday afternoon in a boisterous march that was Denver's largest protest so far this week.

The Iraq Veterans Against the War group led the four-mile procession from the Denver Coliseum to the Pepsi Center, site of the Democratic National Convention, calling for Barack Obama to end U.S. involvement in Iraq and improve health care for veterans. As many as 4,000 protesters took part, according to a police estimate.

The 50 veterans who led the demonstration included some in full military dress. As they marched along an industrial area far from downtown, they chanted, "My buddy's in the foxhole with a bullet in his head. . . . I called to get the medic, but he's already dead."

#7  Its worse than that.

The way I hear it the 'parade' was simple a free concert being let-out. The alledged veterans simply positioned themselves in front of it...

Didn't Big-Zero do something like that in Oregon?

#6  If BO gets elected, every splinter group will be protesting about some thing or other. It is the way of the donks and the left--politics of the street.

#4  IIUS, in the Marine Corps, at least, it's not called a foxhole any more. It's called a fighting hole.
