Hundreds of pro-war bikers are expected in Berkeley, California Saturday and they will be met by antiwar protesters. Berkeley’s antiwar movement has focused efforts against military recruiters. The pro-war bikers are rallying at a marine recruiting station in Berkeley. The Berkeley City Council passed and then recanted a resolution calling military recruiters “unwelcome intruders”. Antiwar activists say the right-wing biker backlash is evidence that the efforts against military recruiting are striking a nerve.

1. Why aren't the pro-war bikers in Iraq fighting the war?

It's very easy to be pro-war when you have nothing to lose.

2. Probably because they can't take their big-boy toys with them.

3. How unfortunate. There are likely some 1%ers, or wanna bes, who love violence

But not all bikers are like that. The upshot of course is that the idiots will only reinforce the positive image of the anti-war demonstrators.

5. I predict those "hundreds" will turn into "dozens"

These things are always hyped as being "major events", then the RWers end up staying at home.

"A Gathering of Eagles" ring any bells?
