Over at “Observation’s of an Iraqi Exile,” there is a nice report of the protest held in DC this last week where almost 200 individuals were arrested. Iraqpundit was looking to find other Iraqis in the crowd, but could find none. He/she wrote this telling paragraph:
"What I did see was a loud crowd of people wearing badges that said "Impeach Cheney First" and who held signs that said "End the war now," as though it could be switched off like an iPod.
How I wish that were possible. It's true that some U.S. soldiers have been guilty of some horrid stuff, that they've killed innocent people, and raped and humiliated Iraqis. But I also know the majority of murdered Iraqis were intentionally killed by the so-called insurgents, by AQI, and by the Iran-backed militias. These and other killers aren't going to respond to a humanitarian anti-war plea. But I'm certain that they all enjoyed watching the TV footage of the march."

I hope all those kids got tazed.
Who would have thought one idiot who would not shut up and ended up getting tazed would garner so much media attention?
Having watched the whole video of that incident you are referencing Cokey, I have little sympathy for the guy. In the whole video (not just the one they are showing at left wing blogs), you can see that the guy went on this minute long diatribe about everything under the sun, and was basically a massive ass. When he was asked to step aside and let someone else go, he refused, and threw a tantrum any 2 year old would be proud of. The fact that some hard lefties are claiming this is an example of the loss of our personal liberties says a lot about the level of freedom we DO have in our society.
Freedom of speech doesn't include the right to cause public disturbances.
Did you see the part where he was telling the cops that people knew that he was at the rally and therefore they couldn't make him disappear? Definitely a sign of a guy who's all there.
Either he is someone who is not completely attached to reality, or one of the greatest publicity agents on the earth. I am not in the States at this time, but I wonder if he is making the media rounds right this moment. I bet the Daily Kos will sign him up to be one of their bloggers in the near future too!
