"The protesters are traitors to the United States and are guilty of aiding and abetting the enemy. It is sedition plain and simple. They should not have been allowed to be here."
quotes from Tom Delay on Meet the Press this Sunday morning.

Along with Tom Delay on Meet the Press was the neo con Richard Pearle. He accused a retired US Admiral who is now a democratic Congressman of being unpatriotic and the only ex military person to say that withdrawl of our troops will lead to peace.

Tom Delay said the Admiral's strategy for withdrawl was crazy. The other guest was a retired General who chimed in to say that he would prefer to take military advice from the Admiral, and not Tom Delay.
Tom then looked visibly shaken/angry.

On Pacifica radio and CSpan I listened to protestors who called in after the event.

There were many complaints of agent provacateurs (goons) who roamed the crowd and maced protestors as well as lacerating people's legs with boots customized with metal blades. Some of the lady callers seemed to think a protest should be more like a picnic and were disturbed upon seeing protestors beaten and maced. (It must have been her first protest. DC has a lot of VERY patriotic police)

The quotes of the anti anti protestors were profane but when they were not profane they were repeating what Tom Delay said word for word.
