I like counter-protesting. Nothing like basking in the warm glow of hippy-hatred.
A number of years back I was a counter-protestor. My sign said 'End The War' on one side and on the other 'With Victory'. A surprising number of people stopped and chatted with me. With the one exception of a protestor who came and told me to go away as I was producing 'mixed messages' (I was on the other side of the street with 2 friends to their double dozen), everyone seemed to prefer the side of the street that was willing to engage in reasonably informed discourse over the slogan shouting side.
Any chicks? How were they?
It being three-and-half years ago, now, the only chicks I recall are the ones I went with. One was a committed anti-war liberal, but nice to talk to. The other was a native of Grenada, and hadn't made up her mind yet. She hoped an invasion of Iraq would be like Reagan's incursion into Grenada, for which she was undyingly grateful.
