Karl Rove party nearly gate crashed by protestors

Demonstrators keep it calm outside while one group of protestors lead a submarine assault at the front gates accusing the President’s advisor of being a criminal
By Bob Schoenberg, Regal Courier

TIGARD – Demonstrators began arriving outside the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tigard at about 5:30 p.m. Friday afternoon anticipating the arrival of Presidential Advisor Karl Rove, who was scheduled to give a one-hour speech at a meeting of the Washington County Republican Party.

In all about 60 demonstrators were seen walking along Hall Boulevard until after dark while the Republicans were inside one of the hotel’s meeting rooms and while hotel guests came and went throughout the evening.

Drivers in cars on Hall Boulevard honked and waved either in encouragement, or with disgust, at the mostly anti-administration marchers. A group of local high school students arrived at about 7 p.m. to show their support for President Bush and his advisor Rove.

Teresa Teater from Oregon City walked back and forth along the sidewalk where police asked the demonstrators stay, along with her friends to demonstrate their feelings about the administration.

Asked why she was here this evening she said, “I have issues with Karl Rove.”

But she said that she was sure that nothing they did would have any impression with Mr. Rove.

“I don’t think anyone could impress anything on Karl Rove, he’s got his own agenda, he doesn’t care about nobody else’s agenda. His agenda is lies and more lies, and more lies.”
