CLASSY
The pro-death and destruction side, of course:
Up on the hill, counter-protester Diane Fanning of conservative organization Free Republic was unimpressed.
She used a megaphone to loudly yodel, “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!†into the amphitheater to disrupt Southworth’s speech and the others’ presentations.
“There’s no use for them,†Fanning said later. “They’re against everything that this country stands for. They would have everybody roll over and play dead.â€
The counter-protesters used large speakers to project heavy metal music, country music, patriotic songs such as The Ballad of the Green Beret, and speeches by President Bush and Winston Churchill.
Why did the counter-protesters try to drown out the peace activists?
“Why not?†Fanning said. “They would do the same to us.â€
Southworth said later he thought the counter-protesters were rude and disrespectful, especially when they tried to interrupt the relatives of soldiers who died in Iraq.
