Now that Obama is planning to escalate the war in Afghanistan, will the "peace activists" demonstrate against the chosen one?
The answer isn't clear in this article in the West Chester Daily Local News.
From reporter Dan Kristie:
Karen Porter, the founder and organizer of the Chester County Peace Movement, said that Obama's decision has irritated many of his supporters. It may, she said, reinvigorate peace protesters who, assuming that Obama would bring peace, packed up their picket signs after he was inaugurated.Read the full story at the link below:
During the Bush years, the Peace Movement rallies were well-attended. But the number of demonstrators decreased after Obama was elected.
Porter said that she disagrees with Obama's decision to send more troops. But, she added, she opposes the war, not the president.
"I am a very loyal Obama supporter, and I don't want to undermine his presidency," Porter said. "But I will object strongly to the situation in Afghanistan."

Wow, the BS piled on this article is simply astounding.
What is obvious since the 'great mistake of 08' has been the immediate sanitation of the CCPM's signs. No more 'Worst President Ever' or 'Who would Jesus Waterboard' signs. They have been replaced with generic all purpose protest signs.
