President Bush was in Denver today. He was greeted by more than 2000 anti-war protesters.

"In a scene reminiscent of anti-war protests of the 1960s, at least 2,000 people gathered Friday outside a fund-raiser featuring President Bush to rally against a possible war in Iraq. "

"Chanting ''No blood for oil,'' ''No war for votes'' and ''Hey hey, ho ho, this war machine has got to go,'' the protesters marched from the Denver City and County Building four blocks to the hotel where Bush was speaking. "

There were no arrests. "Inside the hotel, Bush spoke to a packed crowd at the $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser for Bob Beauprez, who is running in the 7th Congressional District. After the event, Bush went to Arizona. "

Bob Bezuprez? No way.....we're supporting Democrat Mike Feeley. We spoke with him earlier this week and he's personally opposed to the death penalty (although not going to make it a campaign issue) and he's likely to support the Innocence Protection Act. He has called us personally (not through a staffer) three times and even left his cell number. If you have a few extra bucks, send it his way.

Update: Here's more on Feeley -- we found it by way of Sideshow .

"Feeley, a former Marine, came out swinging at an evening debate at Red Rocks Community College, saying he was "really upset with our president right now."

"It is not the time to play politics with the possibility of going to war with Iraq and the possibility of losing young American lives," Feeley said."

"If he doesn't get an apology, Feeley said, "we'll play politics."

"I'll talk about every chicken-hawk Republican running for office - who never served a day in uniform defending this nation - asking for your vote so they can go to Washington and send someone else's child to war."

Another Update: Buzzflash has a first-person perspective on the protest and says the Denver Post confirms there were 2,000 protesters present.
