Dueling Protests

I was little disappointed to hear that the "support the troops" (or pro-war, if you must) rally in Chicago today wasn't well attended. The peace creeps also showed up at Federal plaza, despite not having the permit. The Tribune story includes the following gem:

At one point, some demonstrators supporting the troops got within 20 feet of the anti-war protesters, who shouted "killers, killers, killers."


A man from the troop supporters shouted back "idiots, idiots, idiots."

I can't really add a thing to that.
