...of stupid people in large groups.

In movies like Born on the Fourth of July and Forrest Gump, anti-Vietnam-War protests are always presented as fairly lopsided affairs. In those films, the protesters are peaceful, tye-dyed flower children who just want to play acoustic guitars and expose how evil the war is, man. And the cops are vicious stormtroopers who enjoy nothing more than crackin' the heads of the innocent.

And I'm sure that many of the people who protested at those anti-war rallies in the '60's remember it just that way. But if today's anti-war rallies are any indication, anti-warriors are really just a hateful, vulgar, directionless bunch of miscreants looking for a reason (any reason) to raise hell.

There was an "anti-war protest" in DC on Saturday, and this clip from that day contains plenty of vulgar language, so consider yourself warned.

Years from now, I'm sure that these "peaceful protesters" will tell themselves that their serene, gentile march was ruined by those hateful, mean ol' neocons.
