All this in the shadow of John Kerry's Beacon Hill abode.

[Southack]

Those people need to go be human shields against the illegal French occupation and destruction of the Ivory Coast.

ANSWER is of course a socialist organization.. has any of the Old Media ever identified them that way?

What is ANSWER

[ConservativeStatement]

30 of them? Even Cher and Chelsea Clinton had bigger crowds this month.

[elizabetty]

Isn't it up to the Iraqi Government rather than a bunch of ignorant radicals whether we should leave Iraq?

[Sthitch]

ANSWER is worse than simply being socialists. They are a product of the dying vestiges of the communist movement. These are the same people who used KGB money during the cold war to launch anti-nuke protests.

[Prime Choice]

Under banners reading ``Bring the Troops Home Now'' and ``No Blood for Oil,'' a group of 30 anti-war activists protested outside the Park Street T Station yesterday afternoon.

I don't get it. Thirty Left-wing nutjobs protesting gets all manner of media attention, but the same media brushes off nearly 60 million Bush supporters as nothing significant.

Talk about bias. Sheesh.

Boston is really a very neat place. So much history... mostly made by the men who decided to fight rather than live in tyranny. Were it not for bravery, valor, a yearning for freedom, and all who embraced those attributes, these sad sacks might possibly never have been born to live in this country.......the greatest nation ever brought to be by those people who gave all! All I am saying.... is give democracy a chance.... in places (like Afghanistan and Iraq) where the citizens have never known it, yet want it so very much that they, too, are willing to pay the ultimate price, if that's what it takes.

"What is ANSWER"

Act
Now
Stop
War
End
Racism

A.N.S.W.E.R is the modern communist "peace" front of the International Workers' Party (the violent group that supported the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czeckoslavakia).

Once funded entirely through KGB monies, ANSWER is self-sufficient today even though its original Soviet backers have long since passed away.

Ironically, ANSWER's recruits in the Western world turned out to be more diehard socialists than their Soviet tutors. To this day they still publish and spread long-since-discredited Soviet agitprop to gullible minds where-ever they may be located.

[SteveMcKing]

I'm fine with it, as long as they stay on the tracks and don't move.

[MEG33]

I googled at the beginning of the peace protests.. and we had great threads here exposing the commie/socialist roots of these groups..

[diss-a-lib]

"Bring the troops home" ok, if any one of those unwashed, unenlightened[is that a Bushism?]moronic bums can guarantee that al qaeda will not be roving the streets of America, or turning thumbs down when No. Korea, China ,or Iran offers them a nuke or 10, if they can, then I will join them, until then they should shut their ungrateful mouths.

[skikvt]

30 People? There's at least that many people protesting some random whatnot on any average day at that spot. Why is this news????

[agitator]

I ran a Boston nooz truck for a while. Coming up with 30 losers to protest anything liberal in Boston is like screaming "FREE BEER!" at a football game; it ain't no trick. There's an endless supply of snot-nosed, liberal, pantywaists willing to groupthink their way to nirvana in Boston. Why anybody even notices anymore I don't know except that maybe a few of them actually get jobs at the Boston Globe when daddy won't underwrite their perpetual studenthood anymore and the Boston Globe (owned by NYT) notices.

"No blood for oil"

LOL! I agree! No more Iraqi blood for French oil!

"George Bush, we say no, your racist war has got to go"

The only racism regarding the war is your belief that the "brown skinned" man doesn't want freedom and democracy.

Then again, the Left generally has it 180 degrees wrong.

[diss-a-lib]

Just Olive Oyl, I yam what I yam, and thats all that I yam, says Popeye the sailor man, boop, boop.

[T. Vick.]

Well, they do have the right to assemble and the right to free speech. They can say whatever they want. Unless you'd like to trash the constitution.

[Southack]

??

[whadizit]

I'm in favor of OIL FOR BLOOD!!!! We deserve to get oil from Iraq on the cheap for the precious American lives lost in the act of freeing Iraqi's! Nothing will ever take the place of ONE soldier lost.

I guess maybe the Iraqi's could say we are in this for OUR OWN GOOD, which is correct, and their freedom is a by-product.
