It wasn't all peaceful. From what I saw on the news, one yahoo was screaming at the people lined up outside waiting to get in. And they showed two of the guys getting arrested, putting up a fight with the police. Should have tased those two.

yeah a good read if you want to watch Woodward sell out his principles so he can be part of Bush's inner circle.

Well, a friend of mine and a few of my coworkers made it out to the luncheon and from what I hear the protesters fully lived up to their reputations of being mouth-breathing cretins.

I don't know how the protesters handled themselves but if the best you can do is hurl insults instead of insights, I'd say they aren't the only 'mouth-breathing cretins'.

You sound like a bitter old man.
Apparently you haven't read the books either.

Sometimes that is all one can do... If someone cannot be reasonable and civil at the same time, then they are ... well some derivative of my above insult.
Here's an insight. People without jobs can go protest something relatively unimportant in the middle of the day.

Hardly an insight, in this economy some people without jobs can go listen to Bush, and people with jobs can protest too. It sounds to me that you are just trying to swing a broad brush with your insults.

Obama's admitted a lot of mistakes because he's made a lot of mistakes.

I don't care either way for or against the protests, but why are these people seriously screaming things like "shame on the police, they should be arresting him"
Really protesters? The Calgary Police should be dealing with war criminals?

I agree, I'm all for demonstrations but a lot of the time they come off like complete uneducated morons. No one's going to listen to you if you don't raise a strong point in a somewhat reasonable way.
Funny, I used to have a lot more sympathy for "protesters" until I moved to Vancouver and witnessed the stupidity of many of them first hand.
Its too bad, because demonstrations have a pretty important history in the development of our society and other democracies. I think they need to become better at managing their PR, and maybe they'll be taken more seriously.

Yeah, I was tempted to go down and see if some hot hippy chick would burn her bra or strip naked or something like that.
Then I realized that I just didn't care.
