"March 18, 2003 - Franklin and the 101, Hollywood: Bush is Hitler signs were everywhere. A guy had a sign that read, 'Honk if you Hate Bush. This was only days before Operation Iraqi Freedom, so these protesters were true believers, baby. Also, not many cars were honking - some, but not a majority by my recollection."

The honking thing expressing hatred of Bush sure had changed by 2006. I remember getting nasty insults when I protested the invasion of Iraq in 2003. In 2006 people were honking and honking and yelling "Thank you" from their cars. Luckily they followed up by voting lots more Democrats into Congress. But I have to admit, I don't think the protests were the cause. Bush created change all by himself.
