    Nothing new for the SUN always dwell on the negative. The least they can do is show respect for the leader of this country. But hey these days the old 1960s group shines forth.

    Excellent video. It's not often that video news actually covers the specifics of what a group is protesting about. Usually all we see is a few muted shots of protest signs without much explanation. One thing that did seem strange was when the presidential limo goes by. It looks as if the protesters weren't that close to where the President was speaking. I remember reading a story in a Tampa Bay newspaper about how Bush protesters there were cordoned-off in a "first amendment zone" about a half a mile away. Here's a link to the story.
