<dd><font size=3>Protesters in San Francisco rallied against the
re-election of George W. Bush and the continuing war in Iraq in a
Wednesday evening march along Market Street and through the Mission
District. <br><br>
<dd>About 2,000 people participated -- many carrying the same signs and
shouting chants similar to those of the anti-war protesters that flooded
the city in the spring of 2003. The main protest was peaceful but
boisterous. <br><br>
<dd>The demonstration splintered around 9 p.m. and a group of about 150
marched through Civic Center and the Tenderloin. As many as 50 people
were arrested at Sixth and Mission streets, according to police.
<br><br>
<dd>Earlier, one demonstrator who was marching, Liz Farinella, 35, of
Oakland, said that she had been involved with the campaign of Sen. John
Kerry and that this was the first march she had attended. <br><br>
<dd>"I want Bush to know that just because he won the election he
doesn't have a mandate and needs to listen to other perspectives,"
said Farinella, who carried a sign that said "Overthrow King
George" on one side and "Impeach Bush" on the other.
<br><br>
<dd>A large truck with drummers in the back led the march as the crowd
chanted "We're going to beat back the Bush attack, get the troops
out of Iraq. " Protesters waved signs with statements such as
"Nov. 2, 2004 -- a sad day" and "Shame on us."
<br><br>
<dd>About a dozen Bush supporters, waving American flags and carrying
signs that proclaimed "The silent majority has spoken" marched
at the back of the pack. <br><br>
<dd>"I'm in this to promote the fact that we won," said Victor
Tracey, a 20- year-old San Francisco State University student who was
among the Bush supporters. <br><br>
<dd>Earlier Wednesday, the election fueled tempers at S.F. State when the
campus Republican club set up a table on the campus plaza to celebrate
"four more years" of Bush. They were quickly surrounded by a
crowd of about 100 angry anti-Bush protesters. <br><br>
<dd>About a dozen campus Republicans defiantly held up four fingers and
Bush- Cheney signs as the crowd chanted, "Bush is a terrorist"
and "You are working for the devil." <br><br>
<dd>A confrontation Monday between the same campus Republicans and a
group of four women resulted in a physical altercation among a few of the
students. Both sides could face disciplinary action, most likely a verbal
warning, in connection with the incident, university officials said.
<br><br>
<dd>Protesters at the Wednesday evening march were largely young, and
many were students. <br><br>
<dd>Donnie Clay, an 18-year-old UC Berkeley student, held a sign that
said "I'm ashamed to be an American" and wore an anti-Bush
T-shirt. <br><br>
<dd>"In the world's eyes this is an American decision, and I'm
ashamed by that," he said. <br><br>
