Since the sixth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War was the other day, ANSWER and it’s assorted affiliates of beggars, drama queens and ne’er-do-wells picked today out of the air to hold their March on the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

Brian Becker, the national coordinator for ANSWER said it’s important because it’s the first anti-war protest in the Post-Bush Era. So here’s the photos<\/p>\n

This was the most appropriate thought – a bumper sticker on the back of a coat;

\"ANSWER<\/a><\/p>\n

Geoff Millard<\/a> crawled out of his hole;<\/p>\n

\"ANSWER<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ANSWER<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever wonder what happened to the folks in your high school band after they graduated? Here they are;<\/p>\n

\"ANSER<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, if we fly Palestinian flags, that’ll end the war in Iraq sooner, won’t it?
\n\"ANSER<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a contingent of Free Republic on the route to the Pentagon. There were also GOE folks guarding the Vietnam Wall and I kick myself for not taking their pictures. But here’s the FReepers;
\n\"ANSWER<\/a><\/p>\n

The FReepers made some folks angry;<\/p>\n

\"ANSER<\/a>
\n\"ANSER<\/a><\/p>\n

Now TSO and I moved away from the FReepers, but this brave fellow, ya know with the mask and separated from us by two snow fences started calling us names. Then he tried to tell us he is a Marine who “defected”;<\/p>\n

\"ANSER<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t see her sign, but whatever it says, I’m up for it;<\/p>\n

\"ANSER<\/a><\/p>\n

More photos on my Flickr Photostream<\/a>. Some of them are from the FReepers who let me upload them while I was there. Like this one of one of our regulars;

\nAge of Hooper (The<\/a>) was there and is also putting pictures up.<\/p>\n

Uncle Jimbo has his interviews with the Code Pink girls up at Blackfive <\/a>and Ace of Spades<\/a>. I forgot to mention that Marooned in Marin<\/a> was there, too, and he has photos up. It’s beginning to look like there are more conservative bloggers at these things than protesters.<\/p>\n

Folks are asking for crowd estimates – if ANSWER says more that 3,000 people were there, they’re nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
