Germans tell Bush to GO HOME!
Edited on Wed Feb-23-05 01:23 PM by AmyJCNJ
These articles are great. I'm half German and proud!

Germans tell Bush to GO HOME! Well, some of them did (check out the picture on the right side of the page).

Regular German's Refuse To Go Along With Script
At least that’s what the headline should say…
http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,343281,00.html
Too bad the town hall meeting was canceled. I would've loved to have someone ask him: Did your grandfather ever get to meet Hitler or were his business dealings with one of the henchmen? Or Mr. Bush what is your definition of fascism? and why do you call theocratic states islamofascist when they have nothing to do with fascism?

Then there's this: "Germans trust Russian President Vladimir Putin more than they do Bush!" in the 3rd paragraph.

You gotta love the skeptical, sarcastic Germans.

Sorry I'm kind of in a snippy mood today, I hope I'm not starting a flame war.

from Deutsche Welle
Protesters march against Bush

Several thousand people in Mainz have demonstrated against US President George W. Bush's visit to Germany. Protesters held up plackards with slogans such as "Master of war go home", and "God bless America with reason". Speeches mainly criticised the US foreign policy in Iraq. The demonstration took place just a couple of hundred metres from where Bush met with Chancellor Gerhart Schroeder. Earlier, Greenpeace activists made several attempts to break through the security cordon along the Rhine river with rubber boats. Two Greenpeace activists who attempted to roll out a giant placard on the train station roof were removed by police officers. About 10,000 police officer sealed off the centre of Mainz in an extensive security operation.

and another:

Protesters march against Bush
"We had our Hitler, now you have yours." The centre of Mainz was almost totally deserted after being shut to traffic and pedestrians during Bush's visit. About 10,000 police officers were involved in the security operation. Bush's visit contrasted with that of his father to Mainz in 1989 when large crowds cheered Bush senior for his calls for the Berlin Wall to be torn down.
