Here's a copy of the invite for the annual protest at the now non-existant School of the Americas.
And here is an article talking about the first day of protests. Check out the language used against those at Fort Bennign by the AP writer.
These are the key quotes that show how truly insipid these worthless wastes of skin are.
Demonstrators gathered outside Fort Benning to protest a military school were hit with a sonic barrage Saturday: patriotic music Army officials had blaring from the main gate.
A crowd estimated by Columbus police at 8,000 gathered to protest the school once known as the School of the Americas, which they blame for Latin American human rights abuses. It appeared to be the largest first-day gathering in the 14-year history of the protest.
The Army's loudspeakers, playing "The Army Song" and "God Bless the U.S.A.," were 50 yards away from where protesters were speaking to the crowd.
Leaders of School of Americas Watch, which has protested at Fort Benning every year since the early 1990s, said they planned to sue over the noise tactic and accused the Army of a "psychological operation."
If you folks had anything resembling brains, maybe it could be considered 'psychological'. But as it is, they just had their car stereo cranked up as is wont to happen in Georgia, so I am told.

What they were doing wasn't a "psychological operation?" And suing over noise, well, I admit I've wanted to do that with people [giving them the benefit of the doubt] who have their car music system so loud that my building (I'm on the ninth floor - more, it is a brick building with ten-foot ceilings) actually shakes, but you need a decibel meter and witnesses. But theirs would have to be a civil suit, and couldn't be done under local noise ordinances because the noise was coming from a Federal site, and as far as I know there are only some regulations (OSHA) about noise at the Federal level - which is to say thirty second's thought says they can't sue, but then I don't expect them to know little things like that, or think.
Oh, and a big "thank you" for the counter-demonstrators.
