RAW VIDEO: 500 Protesters Greet Bush in San Jose (KPIX San Francisco)
(AP) SAN JOSE More than 500 protesters beat drums and called for President Bush's resignation Friday as the president prepared to speak to Silicon Valley leaders at the sprawling Cisco Systems Inc. headquarters.

Police restricted the demonstration to a few blocks from where the president was going to appear, meaning the motorcade would not see the colorful banners calling him everything from a criminal to a liar to a murderer.

The noisy, but peaceful protesters said they were not discouraged and pressed to get their messages across as they took aim at everything from Indian health care funding cuts to the war in Iraq.

"Ken's voice has been silenced, but mine hasn't," said Karen Meredith, a Mountain View woman whose son, Ken Ballard, was killed two years ago in Iraq. "Today is a day we unwelcome Bush to San Jose."

2. Know why they chose the Meadowood Resort for tonight?
It's one of the few Napa resorts with a helicopter pad.

3. He never learned "Don't start it if you can't finish it"
He still thinks he can start it and order others to finish it. Elitist coward.

This isn't the 1700's where the King can order his will to be done by the populace. He needs to learn that.

4. This sucks. Der SS always manages to keep Chimpy above it all.
Protesters need to find a way to position themselves where they will be seen.

5. No, Chimpy is seen as a hiding coward
His restriction of movement is eventually carried by MSM.

6. MSM didn't play this -- like when they booed Cheney throwing out the ball
they played the footage with a voice-over no crowd sound!
