Protesting the Protesters

Monday, July 19, 2004

LOS ANGELES — At anti-war rallies, thousands exercise their freedom of association and expression, but, if you're anti-left or pro-Bush, speech is not so free.

"You should be ashamed, you fascist," protesters jeered at demonstrators who opposed their anti-war message.

A handful of young conservatives founded Protest Warrior (search) last year. With an in-your-face style the group tries to provide a balance at demonstrations promoting a liberal, anti-war agenda.

"We were met with some violence," said Kafir Alfia (search) of Protest Warrior. "A lot of yelling and name calling. 'Nazi' and 'fascist' are very popular."

Leftist event organizers have tried to kick Protest Warrior out of their marches, but police refused, saying protesters can't censor what signs show up at their protest.

After starting out with a handful of people, Protest Warrior is now growing at rate of five to six new members a day, with chapters in 13 cities.

I am really surprised NO ONE has commented about this. Not even one word.

If you aren't sure what this is, just click the link above (that's why is was included). Here is some bait to maybe get a few of you to take a look.

Their Mission Statement:


War IS an ugly thing, but as long as nations and leaders exist that detest freedom, sometimes it is the only way to secure a lasting peace. Most leftist anti-war protesters and pundits don't understand this. They state that this use of force is always unnecessary -- that war, ANY war, is never good. Some of them, born into the luxury of American freedom, believe that liberty can exist passively, that somehow the world's natural state will always settle into utopian harmony. Others, in an attempt to absolve themselves from the unearned guilt they harbor living in a nation of prosperity and wealth, try to buy morality on the cheap by pronouncing themselves for the 'good'. To them, the derivation of the 'good' is based on a simple, yet peculiar standard: the powerful and competent are wicked, while the feeble and impotent are innocent - regardless of the context. That is why they defend Iraq instead of America, and the Palestinian "resistance" instead of Israel.

These leftists usually carry the loudest megaphones. And left unchallenged, their voices are heard disproportionately, demoralizing our troops, and emboldening dictators around the world - dictators who dream of the day the "Great Satan" disappears from the face of the earth.

However, their self-righteous messages go silent quickly when the truth of history and reality is thrown back in their face. It's time to turn up the juice on OUR megaphones, as we will never keep our supreme values of liberty and justice without the will to fight for them.

They're the first link on my blogroll.  I love the fact that they take the fight directly to the enemy.  And I'm particularly pleased by the fact that ProtestWarrior was formed by YOUNG people.  

The educational system hasn't brainwashed everybody.

yeah, fox news did a little ditty on them. They showed them going to left protests and protesting the protestors. They also showed them making an ass out of the protesters reasons for being there and reducing their arguments to dull grunts and curse words. Funny how liberls protesting for peace and understanding can be so violent and non-understanding.
