For years, protesters searched for a good cause. They knew they wanted to protest something.... they just weren't quite sure what.
They tried protesting Immigration

Some went the Iraqi sanction route.

They suggested "No sanctions on Iraq - find another way." The U.S. listened to them, and found another solution. The protestors now didn't know what to do.. they had been heard, and needed a new angle. Protesting sanctions sure was fun, so why not protest the war too? Just say that "that isn't the other way we were talking about!"
So, they called their best and most representative protestors:
The Neo-Nazis:

and flaming homosexuals.:

Now, they are happy (although they won't admit it) because so long as they have a war to protest, they will have something to do.
