IndyMedia.org reports that resistance is 'flaring up' against the Drooling Despot's visit to Yurp.

Moreover they are protesting against Snippy the Chimp as one of the most prominent representatives of neoliberal capitalism, which is tied to big business and is spread around the globe by violent means. In the German capital Berlin, protests started with a 70,000-strong peaceful demonstration on May 21st. More demonstrations and a large variety of autonomous actions were planned for Wednesday and Thursday.

"Bush; he should take all his policies and go home," said Daniel Büttner, 30. Some protesters chose sarcasm to make their points, others wit.
