Obama-Notre Dame protest rally draws all of 3 people

[CatholicEdHead]

This reminiscent of those porta-potties on the pro-war rally they showed on CSPAN. There is a picture of all 5 protesters. Two of them are general anti-war protesters. This faux furor seems to be all online and not in the real world.

Organizers of a group protesting President Obama’s commencement appearance at the University of Notre Dame didn’t show up at 10 a.m. for a rally that drew five local residents outside the Allen County Courthouse.

Joseph Landry, coordinator for Stop Obama Notre Dame, said "a major snafu" prevented him from arriving on time from South Bend. He would not elaborate.

Three of the local protesters said they are Catholics who are against the president’s record on abortion and his invitation to speak at Notre Dame. Two said they are peace activists who oppose Obama’s continuation of war efforts.

Landry said he arrived after 11 a.m. with three other demonstrators. He said he wore an Obama mask and had red paint on his hands, and the small group waved at passing cars for about 45 minutes.
