#1 The peace movement had all along said Iraq didnât pose a threat to the United States

Excepting, of course, those who said we shouldn't do anything because if we did, Saddam would unleash horrible destruction.

Bud Wilson of Boulder said he wanted the United States to invest in human beings rather than the military â to elevate the quality of life for as many as possible.

"And screw those bastards living under tyranny! What have they ever done for me?!" Bud said later.

Joe Hefferson of Boulder, who had been watching Morrisonâs show as the protest marched by, said more people didnât join the march because of war fatigue.

WTF? Is that the peacenik equivalent of "shell shock"?

Asshats. Every one of them should be rounded up and sent to help excavate mass graves in Iraq.

#3 I'm convinced! Let Saddam out of jail and put him back in charge! Would that make my little peaceniks happy? "100 or so" I bet it was 'so many less than 100.'

#4 I've come up with my own "peace sign" a la Protest Warrior that I'm going to use at the next rally I can make it to.

#5 Ahhh, the People's Republic of Boulder. The black blot on Colorado's otherwise pristine scenery, wonderful people, and great opportunities. Unfortunately, the University of Colorado, with about 35,000 students, and a far far far far far left "intelligencia" firmly entrenched in the city and country government make holding a protest for anything easy in Boulder. If the crowd was under 250, you know it was a flop. Over 3000 came out to protest the cleaning up and reforestation efforts for the Hayman Fire area. Boulder's motto should be "The City and County of Leftist Looney Moonbats". It fits.

#6 Analysis of why the "peace movement" failed this time:

1) 500+ soldiers have died in Iraq so far.
2) In order to use their deaths for political purposes, someone gets the idea of putting their names on cardboard "tombstones".
3) They can only be bothered to make approximately 100 before they got bored/stoned/distracted.
4) When it came time to put names on the "tombstones" they could only get up to the letter "D", leaving 22 other letters without signs. They still had about 50 more "tombstones" left. (Maybe they got high on the magic marker fumes....hey, it can happen when you use them in a small, enclosed space.)
5) They could only get 100 people to show up. Deep in the heart of Dixie, that would not be a bad turnout....but this was Boulder.
6) The best they could do for entertainment was some hippie burnout who couldn't balance on his tricycle.

Maybe they should have had free beer? Or said someone was gonna get nekkid for peace?

#7 The Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center made 100 of the signs, organizer Carolyn Bninski said, and made it through only the letter "D" alphabetically.

War dead E-Z thank you for your noble efforts in commemorating their sacrifice. Did some good smoke come in after you were done with the D's? Can't pass that up, right...dudes?
Assholes.

I think they just got distracted by hallucinating on the tricycle guy.

#9 As a former resident of Boulder... its citizens are fond of calling it: "Five square miles surrounded by reality"
