Ah. Now we're getting serious...DENVER (AP) ¯ Several dozen anti-war activists held hands and shouted "Love, Peace and Justice" during a stunt to "levitate" the Denver Mint on Monday, shake out its money and redistribute the wealth.
Should've had Obama show up. I'll bet he could've done it...
The group Recreate 68 wanted to circle the Mint on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in homage to the 1967 protest of the Vietnam War when demonstrators sought to levitate the Pentagon.
..and when they couldn't do it, it was 6 more years of war.
In truth, protesters at the Mint only made it halfway down one block, the quarters that showered the ground were made of plastic, and the group's leader wore a starry, purple wizard's hat and red robe. "It's just an old Halloween costume," Mark Cohen of Recreate 68 said afterward.
Notice that he had to explain that...
Earlier, he and Aron Kay, the 58-year-old New York protester known for throwing pies in public officials' faces, shouted, "Be well, be healthy," in Yiddish as plastic quarters hit the ground. Kay wore a silver cape, gray sweatpants and a black T-shirt that said, "Arrest Bush."
Once again, hippies screw up and leave off "and Cheney". Now he'll find, kill, skin, and eat you. Just because you pissed him off.
A tense moment occurred when a man spotted conservative columnist Michelle Malkin and started yelling at her. Malkin calmly kept doing her work, taking pictures with a camera.
She should've took off one of her heels and beat him with it...
Police estimated 75 activists attended the event. About a dozen officers on horseback and a dozen more on foot lined the sidewalks, keeping watch.
So what're you gonna do with all your overtime, Muldoon?
I don't know. Hawaii, maybe...
The stunt was just one event Priscilla Lynch of Conway, Mass., took part in as a member of the anti-war group Codepink. "I'm here to do whatever I can to bring peace and justice to our country," she said, as Cohen cheerily waved a magic wand in the distance.
Yes. Yes you are. Of course you are...
"Who knows? Maybe that will be what makes a difference," she said.
I know. It won't. Dipshit.
