Cnn showing Brits gearing up...

[King_Crimson]

for the gigantic protests planned for tomorrow! It is just utterly putrefying and disgusting to see how much we are hated by the peoples who make up our closest ally!

[onehandle]

1. They are predicting 100,000

Why not a Million, like during the anti-war protests?

I don't get it. The war monger is right there. When will they get a better chance to express themselves?

[xultar]

3. I hope there are +100,000 cuz here if you protest u can lose your

job.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. Might be wiser (for the organizers) to underestimate numbers.

Bigger Media Impact that way.

5. I would imagine...

a lot of them are intimidated by the 250 heavily armed secret service agents, 150 national security officers, and 50 White House aids! Along with that ridiculousness, we have two 747's and a specially charted jumbo, as well as a specially converted black hawk helicopter and motorcade of 20 armored vehicles! GO FIGURE!!

9. Uh, we americans really shouldn't frown down on others' protests.......

seriously......the lack of a raucus protest fever here in the states is despicable.

14. It's less now because

this is during the week - you have to take a day off work to protest (and many can't);

in February, we thought we might be able to change a government policy, now it's just "we don't like Bush"

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. For the most part...

"we" are not hated-- it is Georgie who that honor is reserved for.

6. please boss

for the people who are the employers; allow your employees to leave work and protest. pay them for the time they miss. it will be a wonderful investment in good will and protection of the planet. they will love you for this act of kindness.

7. Tis is true ...

... most Europeans can separate the American sheeple from the Shrub.

Anyway, looks like we will have some representation from the American expatriant community in the UK. You go lads! Make your homeboys proud!

8. bon ami

hoping the french will join british cousins in the anti-war pro-peace rally. show your love of life and liberty and equality and protest the meard tete(sp?).

[TahitiNut]

12. It's "tête de merde" ...

... but the French have better idioms.

[Zero Gravitas]

10. It is Bush who is hated

not Americans.

[PaDUer]

13. I can't believe

they have HIM on tv right now..the state dinner making a few remarks lifting his glass w/ the queen! BARF!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. The Brits don't hate us

but they do hate George Bu$h has much or more than we do.

BTW: Bu$h is right here most of the time. Why aren't there 100,000 Americans at the WH every weekend?
