Protesters at Thursday's MoveOn.org rally in Louisville

A lunch-hour demonstration in downtown Louisville drew about two dozen protesters together in front of the building housing the district office of Senator Mitch McConnell. The rally was organized by policy advocacy group MoveOn.org as part of its campaign to highlight what they claim are links between the war in Iraq and the current economic downturn.

This year, McConnell is expected to be a favored target for left-leaning policy advocacy groups such as MoveOn.org - a targeting perhaps foreshadowed by Thursday's demonstration.

During the rally, protesters frequently referenced McConnell, and a brief chant of "Mitch McConnell, bring them home. Mitch McConnell, end this war" arose from the handful of protesters.
