President Bush and protesters in Bellevue today

Everybody’s favorite President is getting ready to make a grand appearance at 4:30 this afternoon at Bellevue Hyatt Regency to support U.S. Rep Dave Reichart. As we get closer and closer to the magical time, 400 (plus) anti-war protesters continue to line the streets in Bellevue, marching from an earlier rally to the intersection at NE 8th and Bellevue Way. [times]

I’m all for protesting the ridiculousness that is called our President, however, here’s a little word of advice from Metroblogging Seattle:

If you’re going to make a protest sign, please use the proper form of their/they’re/there. Otherwise, you’re going to come across looking like a completely uneducated idiot, which doesn’t support your cause.

Happy protesting, Seattle! (or Bush supporting)

    Wow, that’s from today?

    The swastika?
    Really?

    I think that’s where protesters go from strongly held beliefs and convictions to … idiocy.

    Are we saying Bush is a Nazi? that he hates Jewish people? he’s Hitler incarnate?

    Yes. This photo was taken at the rally in Bellevue. I have a friend who snapped the pic on his lunch hour. I’m not sure what the swastika is about…it sorta freaked me out too, Frank. Some people are a little extreme.
