Republicans said they would seek to turn any disruptions to their advantage, by portraying protests by even independent activists as Democratic-sanctioned displays of disrespect for a sitting president

I would say that this woulod be an accurate assesment of the aim of the protests. They WILL BE exactly that: displays of disrespect (even disgust and accusations of CORRUPT, EVIL, and DANGEROUS) and they will be sanctioned by the Democrats, because these are exactly the things that people in this country need to know about Bush. Of course, people in what Maureen Dowd calls “Bush World” will lap up every word, and chher every accusati on made in those tough-talkin’ , bumpersticker, keep-it-REALLY simple speeches so eleoquently delivered by W. You know the kind.
