Protesterer mot protestene

Protest Warrior er en amerikansk gruppe som menger seg med radikale demonstrasjoner og gjør narr av dem. Det skal ikke så mye til ofte for å vise det absurde i en del fredsdemonstrasjoner som alltid ser ut til å skli ut i støtte til diktatorer i den tredje verden.

Her er en gammel klassisk Protest Warrior-plakat:

Her kan du lese en herlig beretning om en såkalt fredsdemonstrasjon hvor de fredselskende blir rimelig godt avkledd:

Et lite utdrag:

"As soon as we assimilate into the throng of activists, we lift our signs up. I start reading the sign of a protester in front of me: "My Cocker Spaniel is Smarter Than George Bush!", when I hear from behind a man's voice, "What the hell is THAT? Hey you!" I turn around and follow the aging

hippy's eyes to my sign - a cartoon of a burqa-clad Muslim woman tied to a pole with a leash. The caption: "Protect Islamic Property Rights Against Western Imperialism! SAY NO TO WAR." "Hey a*hole!", he yells.

We grin as his voice is drowned out by a teenage girl screaming into her megaphone: "1 - 2 - 3 - 4! WE DON'T WANT YOUR RACIST WAR!" I wanted to ask her if she would be for war if I can prove to her that race is not a factor. If it is, is she employing some kind of affirmative action policy holding all Islamic dictators to a lower standard of conduct? "5 - 6 - 7 - 8! STOP THE WAR! STOP THE HATE!", she screams. Either way, it didn't look like these issues were open for debate.

I look to my left to see Alan, marching forward with his sign that reads "Saddam Only Kills His Own People. IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!" I can't help but let out a hearty laugh. "Alan!", I yell. He snaps his head at my

direction. "Will this do?" He smiles and turns his attention back to carrying his sign. I had delivered on my second promise.

As I flip my sign to its other side, a man in a jogging suit and Birkenstocks inspects Alan's other slogan: "Communism Has Only Killed 100 Million People" LET'S GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE."

With a straight face, he says "Communism isn't necessarily evil. America has given it a negative slant." "

Stor humor.
