Default Protesters Urge 'Storm the White House'

That would be a nice temporary administration.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2...413.shtml?s=ic

An anti-war group that belongs to the umbrella organization United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) has announced that it intends to topple the Bush administration during a March 15 Washington, D.C. protest.

In a message headlined "Storm the White House" that appears on the UPJ Web site, the group Political Cooperative is urging its members:

"TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE BY STORM, Stop Genocide, Torture and Occupation."

The message goes on to explain:


"We will not allow the Slave Holders that Still Prevail in this Country to Rule us any longer . . . The Administration is Criminal and if they will not step down, we must storm in, show them how many of us do not accept a criminal government."

The Political Cooperative goes so far as to announce its plans to install an interim government after the Bush administration is toppled:

"The Political Cooperative will put a new, temporary government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations that have finally made us aware of the truth of the savage practices and illegal policies of our government in assassinating our own officials as well as people throughout the world who oppose their criminal activity."

Bush-bashing filmmaker Michael Moore apparently endorses the coup plan, linking to the "Storm the White House" message on his Web site.

I'll tell you how it's going to turn out. Getting around the city is going to suck and I'm going to bash some hippie skulls that's how it's going to turn out. They'll f*** up my commute and I'll kick them in the teeth. It's a lose-win. First I lose and then I win. Hippies always lose because they're hippies and that's what they do. They lose and b!tch. B!tch and lose lose and b!tch.

I see alot of protesters bleeding from the head with burning eyes from the gas only to be piled on top of eachother in a patty wagon, short clips of some no makeup wearin hairy armpit granola eating chick screaming (power to the people!) then a leather glove holding her face like a bowling ball shoves her into a van. (storming the white house) is a no win situation.

My parents were lucky enough to have had dinner with Dubya at the White House recently. They were pretty jazzed about it. I'm glad they were able to get that in before the coup. I suppose I'll never get the chance now. Pity, really. My wife will be especially crushed.

So anyone think it will take more than 10 minutes of White House security personnel beating all traces of fecal matter out of anyone who gets too close to the fence before the organizers of this event rethink the idea of announcing their intentions in advance?

How'd your parents manage that?

I'd love to see these people actually try this. I want to see what the WH security does when people get too close to the WH.

The 1966 Texas Western (now UTEP) Miners who were the subject of the film "Glory Road" were invited to the White House for dinner recently. My second dad (The first one died at 42. I was 11.) was a part of the athletic staff for that team for several decades and was a consultant for the movie. I'm proud to say that he's the guy who is most responsible for Don Haskins' admittance to the Basketball HOF.

Texas Western's claim to fame is that they were the first team to start five African American players and win the NCAA championship. It sounds like an obvious tactic these days, but I've read the contemporary press clippings. The world was a different kind of place in 1966. Some of the stuff that was written at the time is simply unimaginable under today's standards. Coach Haskins was either a guy who was the first to calculate the possibiities or he was just unable to distinguish between skin colors. I like to think that he just didn't bother to think there was a racial difference that could matter and that skill should be the only yardstick.

Anyway, the surviving members of the team (Bobby Joe Hill died a while ago) and the coaching staff were invited to the White House for dinner last week.

My dad (who lived during the Great Depression in a railroad boxcar that had been converted into the family home) and my mother (who spent the later part of the same period in rural Alabama picking cotton as a child) were astounded to discover that during this last part of their lives they had been invited to dine with the most influential man in the world.

In my opinion, they are precisely the kind of Americans who should enjoy a few moments in the sun. They are indeed the salt of the earth and I have been well blessed that they are my parents.

That's great stuff. That would be a great opportunity to dine with the Man.

I have been meaning to pick that movie up for some time and watch it. Maybe that's what I'll spend this weekend doing.

When you get the chance to watch it, take it all with more than a grain of salt. By every account I've heard from the men who lived it, the story told in the movie bears -- at best -- a loose resemblence to the reality.

Hey, it's Hollywood's version. Hollywood does stories, not history. Jerry Bruckheimer is wealthier than any historian I can think of for a damned good reason. And that reason is not because Mr. Bruckheimer's storytelling is the most accurate source of the truth available.

Let's all take the hippie oath and just smoke a joint. Mellow out. Offer one to Dubya....although at times I wonder if he hasn't already smoked a few.

Possibly, but my guess is that about 14 college kids show up around noon with some signs and a frizbee, drop the signs, play some ultimate in front of the WH, and are on the metro and out of the city long before the evening commute.

I hope your wrong that would not be exciting at all. Of course maybe if one makes a bad frizbee throw over the gate they will open fire with bean bag bullets.
