"We support our troops when they Shoot Their Officers"

[Thumper]

you MAY get to confront some of those bozos who'll undoubtedly show up to protest the rallies

One can only hope...

I have a more than passing familiarity with mayhem...

Free speech?

Like Ezra Pound had a right to broadcast from Rome to oppose US and UK involvement in WWII?

I would absolutely love the opportunity to get these folks together with a like number of American patriots and hand out boxing gloves for everyone. Then we could all work through our aggressions with some nice peaceful, regulated, non-violent, street brawling. I would think that would be liberating and even a little empowering for everyone.

Anyone with me?

It's interesting that the mainstream media always ignores the real leftist protesters in their coverage. They seem to be going out of their way to portray them all as upset soccer moms.

And once again, my city is host for...


Ah crap, I don't have words for what I feel when I see things like that.

I love this city. I'd never live any where else, but my god, I'll never begin to figure out people like that.

And these are peace activists?

San Francisco is known for it's tolerance and open mindedness; I've got gay friends (I volunteer for the PinkPistols.org), I've got friends of all colors and creeds...but this, this is just wrong.

In one of the most left leaning, anti-war cities in the country, these idiots are simply pissing people off. I say: take this protest to Dallas or Houston and see what happens.

Dammit. Please don't judge my city by the few, loud, morons that get the press.

Please.

This article from the Washington Post explains who the march organizers calling themselves ANSWER are. Further searches of the International Answer group suggest ties to North Korea.

Marching with Stalinists
By Michael Kelly
Wednesday, January 22, 2003; Page A15


International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front group for the communist Workers World Party. The Workers World Party is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It rose out of a split within the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary -- the breakaway Workers World Party was all for the invasion. International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state, North Korea, in the mass starvation of its citizens. It supported Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the bus-bombers of Hamas.
