Our local Peace Gathering is growing....
and gathering a pro-war counter coalition. A few times fisticuffs were in the wind. Notice the signs carried by the opposition..Huh? "We gave peace a chance and got 9-11"?

HUNDREDS PROTEST IN BOROUGH
By JUSTIN McANENY
WEST CHESTER -- Several hundred protesters gathered in front of the the Chester County Courthouse on Saturday to show their support for or against the war in Iraq.

For the past five years, Karen Porter, director of the Chester County Peace Movement, has led protests against the war in Iraq. Those protesters have stood at the corners of High and Market streets in the borough without much opposition.

But seven weeks ago that changed when Rich Davis, who spent 20 years in the Navy and lives in West Chester, showed up, protesting Porter’s views of the war and how they protest. “(The protesters) are here every weekend. ... They are not the face of West Chester ... they are not the face of me,” Davis said last week.

Although he wasn’t able to attend Saturday’s protest, he said, “It’s grown and I’m thrilled. ... My presence intimidates them because I don’t think like them.”

1. His sign says "defeat communism/socialism"? I thought we were fighting "islamofascism" this time...
...and that the republican god and leader Ronnie "Hollywood" Reagan defeated communism back in the '80's?
How long until they bring out the "Kick out the British" posters.
