SAN FRANCISCO (January 29, 2006) - Dozens of protesters rallied last night to protest Senator Hillary Clinton’s continued support of the Iraq War and occupation. A top Nob Hill during a cold, rainy and windy night, protesters noted that Clinton has done little to oppose the injustices being carried out in our name.

For starters: 1. Clinton voted for the Patriot Act. 2. Clinton voted to restrict Guantanamo prisoners’ right to file habeus corpus complaints in US courts. 3. Clinton supporters the ongoing brutal occupation of Iraq, with minor criticisms of the details.

After a brief rally organized by the International Socialist Organizations, members of Not in Our Name, Ten Against Torture, and other organizations fielded questions from the media while slogging up and down the sidewalk.

During Clinton’s prepared remarks inside the fundraiser, members of CODEPINK unfurled a banner from the balcony and twice interrupted the event with chants of “stop supporting war.”

It occurs to me that Hillary Clinton appreciates opposition of this sort.

We need to nock some since in to someone head. Our government went and bombed there contry, and now when they fight back they are in the roungh. No Yes i know they attacked first but they have alot of innocent just as we did. but our contry wants to turn our innocent in to our sacrafice. sacrafice for what exactly. For us to look like the all powerful country that rule all. All we are doing is destroying familys. And If Bush wants the war, why the Hell doesn't he go, or send his family to Iraq.
