If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
WTG Rush!
Bravo for a congressman that believes - and ACTS - in his principles!
The Panthers called for and in some cases carried out assassinations of police and public officials as well as horribly brutalizing its own members if they didn't toe the party line.
Rush spent 6 months in prison in 1969 on a weapons charge.
To anyone's knowledge, Rush has never disowned or repudiated his past with the Black Panthers.

I am of the belief that angry protests in a representative republic simply reveal the impotence of the protestor. He's a congressman, but I don't see any bills hitting the fore and it certainly wasn't a hot topic at the NAACP convention.
I really don't believe that Defense Minister Rush is out for anyone but himself.
What about those of us, who have protested at the Embassy of Sudan long before the CBC got their late asses involved.
What do they care? They possess no WMDs. There is no link to 9/11. They are not a threat to us. They are only killing their own. I thought it's none of our business.
