Scenes From a Protest

I just returned from the so-called vigil for Cindy Sheehen held outside the White House grounds. The event was organized by MoveOn.org and featured several hundred protesters in attendance. The crowd was split between those observing a more traditional vigil and those who wanted to conduct another angry protest of all things Bush.

One middle-aged man in wearing a t-shirt that read “Bush*t!” started the anti-Bush chants. After about 30 seconds of solo shouting the man was joined by most of the crowd in proclaiming, “Meet with Cindy! What are you afraid of, that you’re going to have to tell the truth?”

Most of the protesters continued the chant of, “Meet with Cindy,” while the chant leader segued into “This war was for oil!”
