"Conservatives to Protest Anti-GOP Protest"

[GreenPartyVoter]

NEW YORK (AP) - Groups planning to demonstrate against the upcoming Republican National Convention will have some unfriendly company on the asphalt and concrete outside Madison Square Garden. Members of a new group of young GOP conservatives plan to protest the protesters.

Tom Paladino, who leads the New York chapter of Protest Warriors, a nationwide organization, said members want to show the protesters that "there are Republicans that will protest them right back."

Added Jason Sager, a member from Brooklyn: "We are the right-wing freedom fighters. We are out there and are just as animated as the protesters can be."

Protest Warriors, which claims about 3,000 members nationwide, expects about 200 in New York for the four-day convention, which begins Aug. 30 and is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of opponents of President Bush.

1. Funny they don't show any wish to join their fuehrer's war in Iraq

3. "We are the right-wing freedom fighters"

Fighting freedom wherever it may be.

Just like every other freeper protest, there will be about 8 or 9 that show up, but they will crow about what a rousing turnout they had on the freep message board.

8. FOX camera crews and CNN camera crews.

Despite the disparity in numbers you can bad the counter protesters will get disproportionate coverage. The solution? A counter-counter-protest! :D

11. How will we know who is who? *lol*

[Career Prole]

12. Since they'll be outnumbered about 500 to 1, just look for

the real quiet group. :D

15. They'll notice hot girls with huge freaking signs

6. Right wing freedom fighters who are too chickenshit to sign up for the war

I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of protesters on the left are real scared of these 200 white guys who are probably being paid by the Republican party. :)

13. Camera' s a requirement for protestor's

You can bet that the DeLay thugs will be on hand to perform one of his dirty little tricks.....much like those performed during the Florida re-count. Photo's of the storm-troopers breaking windows, overturning cars, etc., in attempts to blame the Dems, will be occuring somehow, somewhere during these protests....it's a given.

14. Yes, Jason...... you're indeed "out there"

We'll help you, though, and give you directions to find the nearest military recruiting office. You can't miss it.

17. Oooooh, "9/11 II, The Sequel" Watch as America implodes as people turn

against each other in an attempt to prove once and for all that terrorist plots can't and won't change the American way of life. "We were killing innocent people when Osama Bin Laden was in diapers" said one protester. "This blood-fest will outdo any silly attacks from OSB or any others for that matter." said another. "Victory for America" shouted another. In other news, president Bush was seen running out of the White House with his dog Toto. Dick Cheney is nowhere to be found. Newt heard to say "I'm in charge now - HEHEHEHE" whilst rubbing his hands together greedily.
