About 10,000 anti-war protesters and about 1000 right wing counterprotesters gathered in a frigidly cold Washington DC on Saturday afternoon.

Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war.
The Lincoln Memorial was well guarded.
There were about 1000 very belligerent right wing counterprotesters.
Some of the DC Police were less hostile.
Bush was mentioned often.
The World Can't Wait orange jump suit contingent was out in force.
One of the less belligerent members of the gathering of assholes, um eagles. He denied being a Republican (said he was a "Libertarian").
Get a haircut hippie.
Some young anarchists who seem to have enjoyed "300" more than I did.
The protesters cross the Potomac.
Two symbols of the United States
There were quite a few mainstream Democrats mixed in with the Answer/RCP/Anarchist crowd.
Rockey Anderson, the Mayor of Salt Lake City. I'm not sure how a politician from the redest of red states is unafraid to speak in front of an "Answer" sign when his counterparts in Manhattan, Berkeley or Cambridge wouldn't.
Uh, the 1% of America with most of the income has also spoken. And who does congress listen to anyway?
Speaks for itself.
A man named Carlos Arredondo who travels the United States with a memorial to his son killed in Iraq.
The college anti-war network.
Some interesting mid 20th Century totalitarian architecture.
The smell of sulphur
The crowd in front of the stage.
Cynthia McKinney
Signs on the bridge
Some other peoples' kids.
A common sentiment.
A little class warfare.
World Can't Wait's Sunsara Taylor, Carlos Arredondo and another speaker who's name I didn't catch.
The police carried bottles of mace and gas masks.
Also enjoyed "300"
Keystone Riot Cops
Not all masks are created equal.
