Jamey Keaton reports for AP - G-8 Protesters Clash Among Themselves:
ANNEMASSE, France - The thousands of protesters converging on this year's Group of Eight summit are an eclectic bunch with a grab-bag of divergent interests — so much so that some of them clashed on Saturday with Socialists sympathetic to their cause.Kewl! But there's more:
A group of about 350 protesters disrupted a meeting of France's Socialist Party, tossing rocks through the windows of a conference center and accusing the party of not being radical enough.
...
The Socialists were meeting Saturday as part of a "counter-summit" to address issues critics say the G-8 is ignoring, such as the woes of immigrants and refugees in Europe, debt relief and African development.
The activists divided themselves up into the two camps to show their diversity. One is the "intergalactic village" — grouping environmental, anti-nuclear or other social activists. The other is the "anti-capitalist, alternative, anti-war village."Hmmm, who has the tin foil beanie concession?
