He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'”

Wouldn't have made a difference. Most of them only have a 2nd grade education.

Leading "peace movement" group admits that it supports the enemy:

International ANSWER, which co-organized last Saturday's Washington protest, now openly admits that it wants "the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance" -- which, as Michael Totten points out, apparently consists of "three primary groups[:] Saddam’s Baathist remnants, local theocratic Islamists, and foreign foot soldiers for Al Qaeda" -- to win:

The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance.

Yup, that's right. They fully admit it: They want people to give unconditional support to our nation's enemies, and a particularly evil set of enemies at that. (What do you think will blossom in Iraq if "the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance" will win? Democracy? Religious freedom? Women's equality? Gay rights? Free speech? "Civil rights & civil liberties," which the International ANSWER Web site urges people to defend?)

Really, as others (notably Glenn Reynolds) have said, they're not anti-war, they're just for the other side. That's not hyperbole or guesswork; that's the literal, admitted truth. By their own admission, they are our nation's enemies, in a time when our soldiers are being killed. Remember that when you next hear about a supposed "anti-war rally"; remember who is using the protesters as dupes, and what the rally organizers' true goals are.

This is exactly what we conservatives mean when we talk about media bias. If there had been a Republican gathering where this kind of foul language was used, the media would play it up big, it would be trumpeted as yet another example of Republican mean-spiritedness, hate-mongering, and incivility. But at an anti-Bush rally, it is passed over in silence, and we are given an image of gray-haired grandmothers and mothers carrying babies, ordinary folks concerned about the direction their government has taken.

HOWTO: Build a revolutionary people's fighting cadre
by Mao T'se al Milsoevic • Friday January 17, 2003 Frit 02:57 PM


1) Create a front-group. The ANSWER "coalition" is a very good example which involves several layers of front. At the top is the frothy coalition which involves the religious, frothy peacenik groups, and some "anti-war" groups like Not In Our Name and International Action Center.
Beneath this icing we find that NION is run by the Revolutionary Communist Party and the IAC is run by the Workers World Party. Hiding yourself and your policies is the only way that you're going to be able to trick people into agreeing with you after all.

2) Advocate (secretly, not in the front-group of course!) strong-arm, end-justifies-the-means methods for achieving a "dictatorship of the proletariat". Be sure that you ignore the lessons of history.

3) A consequence of point 2 is that you will defend the "degenerate worker's states" of Saddam Hussein (after all the Ba'ath Party does call itself socialist right) and Kim Il Jong (nice little dictatorship of the proletariat there) and Slobodan Milosevic (he was resisting Yankee Imperialism and he was a member of the socialist dictatorship so he must be good too).

4) Make sure that you accuse critics of "red-baiting". After all, you're a socialist and they're criticising you so they must be right-wing!

5) BUILD YOUR PARTY STRUCTURE. This is the most important thing. It's the main point of your involvement in the anti-war campaigns that the deluded Christians, hippys and Buddhists are tricked into participating in. Above all recruit and gather funds. The success/failure of the possibility of an effective coalition against Bush is secondary to the goal of accreting more party structure.

6) Have more marches. Marches give people something to do and they all do it in one safe places under your "leadership". That way you get credit for leading the anti-war movement, recruit a few members and swell the coffers. Without marches people would be out protesting all over the city, but with marches everyone can blow off steam. The cops can photograph them, the media can ignore them and no-one more than a couple of blocks away will have any idea that there's an anti-war movement. Without marches people would be holding weekly vigils all over the city, putting up anti-war billboards, doing banner-drops, wheat-pasting, calling TV and radio shows.

7) Stifle opposition (especially from anarchists). The easiest way to do this is to criticize them for criticizing you. Oh wait, that's black-baiting isn't it?

The "educrats", leftists, Marxists, Communists, Bolsheviks, drug crazed lunatics and your run of the mill dumb asses have sure screwed up this country.

If Government schools CAN'T be reformed, into places of EDUCATION and NOT Leftist anti-America Indoctrination -- they should be shut down.

If these leftist jerks are not beat down into insignificant poitical power and out of the education system --- there is no way to avoid CWII.

just curious but who was the rapper? I have recently discovered that the only rap artists that I can tolerate, OUTKAST, are a bunch of lefties. Wonder if it was them...

For most of us who watched this live, it was obvious these were not "average Americans." And even C-Span, who does a good job of hiding the really insideous examples of extremism, couldn't hide it on Saturday, as it was everywhere within that group. I can only imagine what we didn't see...and yet the media ignores what was plainly visible on our TV sets. Heck, you had some folks at DUh that were even disgusted with the rhteoric that was coming from this crowd. But as has been mentioned, if this had been a GOP or pro-troop rally, you can be sure the media wouldn't have put a happy, average-American face on it. These people don't despise war; they despise America. I couldn't believe there were people there calling for solidarity with the N. Korean regime or referring to Castro's Cuba as a model for democracy in Latin America. I don't recall that making the media's reports of events at this peace protest.

I watched some of these vermin on C-SPAN.

Pathetic.

Interesting. I've participated in protests where I actually saw reporters with their cameras and microphones plodding through legions of intelligent spokespeople to seek the one deranged lunatic in the crowd, to whom they would grant ten minutes of airtime.

I wonder how many swearing, incoherent, screaming and possibly violent yahoos the major media had to bypass before finding someone whom they'd allow on the air (or into print). Thank you Brit Hume!
