Congressman Jim McDermott addressed the crowd, telling protesters that Bush is out for war.
In a short speech, the Seattle Democrat didn't talk about his recent trip to Baghdad, for which he was heavily criticized by some conservatives.
Afterward, he said his critics have nicknamed him "Jihad Jim" because they have nothing intelligent to say.
There were a handful of pro-Bush supporters at the rally. One person carried a sign reading: "Jihad Jim loves Saddam."
