Just Ordinary Americans

“Peace march” whitewash. Though Saturday’s anti-war with Iraq “peace” march in Washington, DC was organized by a far-left group, had a bunch of zany leftist outfits as sponsors, featured some far out rhetoric from the stage which belied the notion that the organizers simply want a peaceful solution, and ended with a march to the Washington Navy Yard to demand access to U.S. “weapons of mass destruction,” as if the U.S. and Iraqi possession of them is equivalent, major media outlets, both print and broadcast, ignored such realities which might have reduced empathy for the cause.

(This item looks at the networks. See item #3 below for newspaper coverage.)

Instead, the networks painted participants as sympathetically as possible, trying to make them identifiable to viewers as people next door, stressing how they were made up of “grandparents,” “honor students,” “teachers,” “businessmen,” “military veterans,” “soccer moms” and “Republicans.” Plus, CNN really turned on the syrup by focusing on an elderly a Nazi survivor who caught “a ride with a busload of young people, all to stop another war, to stop more suffering.”

Hardly a word from the stage got aired as the networks preferred to focus on the most normal looking people in the crowd. On stage, Ramsey Clark demanded Bush be impeached and one speaker even described convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as “a political prisoner.”

Link to the list of sponsors and organizers and supporters. It reads like the DemocRATS' donor list.

International ANSWER has been shown to be a front group for the Workers' World Party, a Stalinist, pro-Kim, pro-Saddam collection of miscreants. They have supported the Russian communists from Hungary (57) through today's anti-Semites.

The Anti-War leadership is pro-genocide. They only support mass murderes (N.Korea, Saddam, Soviets, etc.)

Indeed ANSWER is a socialist bunch, supporters of repressive regimes, partners with mass murder and totaly anti-capitalist, anti-America. So clear when after their show on Saturday they marched into business sectors and did damage to banks. When will colleges be rid of the defiling socialists, probably when parents take it seriously to inform their households, so that students are no longer a blank page for defiled socialists to try to write their perverted ideas.
