Protesters compete for attention

[Mace]

BOSTON - Delegates arriving for the Democratic National Convention were greeted Sunday by competing protests against the war in Iraq and abortion.

Several blocks away, about 1,000 anti-abortion advocates gathered at Faneuil Hall, the historic meeting house where patriots gathered before the American Revolution, and set off on their own march to the FleetCenter.

The two groups crossed paths at an intersection, where demonstrators exchanged angry words with one another. Some of the anti-abortion marchers laid down in the street. They soon stood up at the request of the police and the two marches continued their separate ways following a few minutes of confusion.

Fernando Suarez Del Solar, 48, said his son, Jesus Suarez Del Solar, 20, was a lance corporal and one of the first Marines killed in the Iraq war days after the U.S.-led invasion began.

“Mr. Bush lies,” said Del Solar, of Escondido, Calif. Of the presumed Democratic nominee, he said, “Mr. Kerry is very confused. On one side he says the war is wrong. On the other side, he says ’We need more boys in Iraq.’ I do not understand.”

1. Fun with the protestors

I was in downtown Boston last night with my girlfriend and we walked down the street and found a big group of fools who think this election is about abortion having a protest outside some building where Bill Clinton was having a party. There were a few other Democrat type people standing with us watching the spectacle of to the side. But it was about 50 people there shouting these crazy things at random people walking in. And there was this one guy with a stupid looking cowboy hat on a megaphone yelling up to the building, “Shame on you Mr. Clinton, for holding this party of death! Shame on you for sponsoring murder! Shame on you for sponsoring the murder of children!” Then the guy next to me yells back at the guy, “Shame on you for buying that hat!”

2. Repubs have no clue how to deal with protestors

When we protest, they get steaming mad and turn red.

When they protest, we laugh at them.

What's more effective:)
