"War Protesters Puke; Protester Protesters To Pee?"

"San Francisco, March 23, 2003 -- A new group of war supporters have found a unique way to shoot back -- possibly literally -- at anti-war protesters.

The new group's plans follow the actions of a group of protesters in San Francisco. That group took a unique step in expressing their feelings about the war in Iraq, described in Friday's Tri-Valley Herald:


[I]n a literally gut-wrenching show of disgust with the war, some protesters ostensibly calling themselves "Pukers for Peace" forced themselves to vomit on the federal building. "I think the message people are sending is that the war is sickening," said Direct Action to Stop the War organizer Gopal Dayaneni.


In response, a group of supporters of the Iraqi conflict calling themselves the War Bladders To Soak The Protesters will provide a counter demonstration at the next large anti-war event. In an anonymous fax communication, the group spelled out their plans.

"We, the War Bladders To Soak The Protesters, totally pissed off at the lack of support of our troops and the insults piled upon our national leadership by protests around the world, have drawn up a counter-protest plan. We will assume positions in high buildings around the sites of anti-war protests and plan to shower them with our expressions of dissent with their positions and of support for our leadership and out military troops."

The fax offered no details of what the "shower of...expressions" would consist. However, it should be noted that the fax explicitly stated that the participants in their counter-protests "would consist exclusively of men."

"We desire the participation and appreciate the support of female war supporters for our cause. Unfortunately, the specific equipment required to participate in these events are normally provided exclusively to the male members of our organization. Participation by our female members would, unfortunately, place them in an awkward position and possibly cause unexpected discomfort and injury. Therefore, we have asked them to stand by to resupply our regular male participants with the necessary ammunition to continue the event."

Reports from various parts of the city indicate that this group is quietly preparing for upcoming protest events. Unidentified individuals have been seen bringing supplies of beer, water, and coffee into buildings around the city, predeploying them to the higher floors of buildings where previous protests have taken place."
