Bush, Fascist?

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (AP) -- Thousands of protesters chanting "Get out Bush!" swarmed the streets of this Argentine resort on Friday.

Before dawn, thousands greeted a train bringing the last group of demonstrators from Buenos Aires, including Bolivian presidential hopeful Evo Morales and soccer great Diego Maradona, who donned a T-shirt accusing President Bush of war crimes.

Chanting "Fascist Bush! You are the terrorist!" the protesters hung from the engine and moved up the sides of the train, trying to shake hands with those inside.

Later, they took to the streets, heading toward a stadium where Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made a speech before joining the Summit of the Americas.

Chavez arrived early Friday, saying he was "inspired" by the protesters, who also oppose the U.S.-led negotiations to form a Free Trade Area of the Americas stretching from Alaska to Argentina.

One marcher, Canadian steelworker Dennis Matteau, said free trade must be stopped.

"We have NAFTA, so we know about free trade deals," he said. "They are not good for workers."

The march was mostly peaceful, although some self-proclaimed anarchists spray-painted slogans on a bank. Most businesses along the route had closed, except for a fruit stand protected by a wall of wooden crates.

"So far, I've only lost four bananas," owner Blas Zanghi said.

Shuttling between luxury hotels, Bush met with Argentine President Nestor Kirchner as well as Central American and Andean leaders Friday before joining the 34-nation summit.

Leaders attending the two-day summit agreed ahead of time to focus on creating jobs and reducing poverty.

In recent days, however, attention has shifted to the free trade issue and sparring between the United States and Chavez, a leftist whose government has used his country's vast oil wealth on social programs for the poor.

Thousands of protestors chanting "Get out, Bush!" jammed the streets of Mar del Plata, Argentina, on Friday.

By far, the best part of that article:

"So far, I've only lost four bananas," owner Blas Zanghi said.

The Bush regime isn't doing so hot.

All this internal crap and now the EU is calling attention to various internment camps run by the CIA that are quite against international law.
Not to mention all the other pieces of info to come to light.

I'm wondering if anyone still supports having American troops in Iraq.

America is short on friends right now. Even Canada who is supposed to be America's best friend and biggest trading partner (we still provide more oil than any other country and a lot of electricity and water) is getting mad and demanding the money we're getting boned out of.

With crisis in New Orleans, televangelists calling for assassinations and support on all sides and support from the inside waning, it is not a good time to be George W. Bush.
