Is W the Most Publically Protested Leader in World History?
Based on everything I've seen, I would think so, but does anyone know if any studies have been done to quantify something like this? If this statement/question could be proven to be true, and a few articles written with this headline, it would make for an effective sound bite for the Dems.

3. Nixon probably more than Shrub
when i was a kid in the late 60's it seems like every night on the news there were sometimes violent protests going on all over the place.

Sometimes my Mom would turn it off and say she was really glad I wasn't of college age right then.

4. I thing LBJ/Nixon would share that honor.
There were lots more protest then, and they were violent.

5. the protests were reported
Edited on Sat Oct-18-03 05:39 PM by Marianne
not squelched or relegated to "free speech zones". The news media was not owned by corporations pledged to support this fasicst mainiac. Everything we read today is CONTROLLED by Bush and his propagandist minions. There is NOTHING that can be believed that comes from this administration and it is a sad, sad world here in the US. We are living in a PR fantasy land, being jerked here and there by corporations gone amok, even when it comes to our health (adverstising to
ask your doctor") and willingly seem to offer up our children to the same--and they, in turn, vote for the persone they see as giving them all of this lovely, ecomomic freedom--ie, the ability to charge up anything they desire to buy in order to keep up with the Joneses, who seem to be more wealthy and therefore more deserving--America, it is time to stop- this shallow shit--and regain your souls and your appreciation of beauty and art and all that is lovely in life.
We only go through here once--

6. *international* anti-Bush protests
were certainly the biggest and most coordinated in modern history.

bush* is, without question, the MOST HATED MAN ON EARTH.

part of that, of course, is due to global media changes that were not available for Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.

but, in modern terms. Bushit stands alone as the most despised human ever...

appropriate.
