Tim Brown, 48, of Detroit, who was dressed up as a woman, argued that Bush and the Federal Communications Commission are trying to snuff out expression. He carried a sign in support of radio station personality Howard Stern. His costume, he said, was to bring attention to the importance of expression.

"They're trying to restrict speech. Oprah can say what she says, but she can get away with it. Howard can't," he said.

A half-dozen Raging Grannies for Peace also protested Bush for his environmental positions and the war.

Ezra Goldman, 35, of Oak Park, a Bush supporter, said the environmental attacks on Bush surprised him.
"Clean air is not really a big issue right now," Goldman said. "I would think there would be more war protesters."

Two young male students from University of Michigan armed with a guitar and drum played and sang songs criticizing Bush. The duo called themselves, "Anything's better than fascism."

2. Oh no, they're starting to talk like Bush, Rumsfeld.
"It's important to show our support for someone we support,"

The Rove political machine in action:

'Del's antics brought one violent response as a white male who appeared to be in his 20s punched Del, hitting him relatively lightly on the shoulder, but causing Del to fall on the grass.'

"We're here to show our support," she said. "He (Bush) has taken enough flak already."

No he hasn't.
