Liberal Lunatic of the Day (3/16/2005)

Medea Benjamin will reach new heights in the next three days with the nation-wide “The World Says End the War” march (where). Benjamin and her cohorts, operating under her group Peace and Justice United, has organized over 1,350 left-wing and radical groups, such as the Communist Party USA, the Marxist Feminist Lesbians, Punks For Peace, Queers for Peace and Justice, RANT (Root Activist Network of Trainers), the Ruckus Society, the Socialist Party USA and Cabbies Against Bush (list) to march against the war.

Benjamin, who wrote in The Nation magazine, that, “The most exciting aspect of the antiwar organizing has been its global reach. While in the anti-corporate globalization movement, we had already formed impressive ties with grassroots movements overseas, antiwar organizing has given us the opportunity to expand geographically to areas such as the Middle East, where we had less-developed contacts; to multiply our ranks with a dazzling array of new sectors, from city councils to women's and civil rights organizations such as NOW and the NAACP; and, most important, to merge the peace movement with the movement to fight corporate-dominated globalization.

Benjamin urges, “Let's channel the bursting anti-American sentiment overseas into targeted boycotts against corporations profiting from war. Let's launch global, grassroots campaigns to get the United States to sign on to international treaties and institutions such as the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol. Working with local communities where US troops are based, let's start a Bring All the Troops Home campaign to stop the expansion of US bases and start dismantling some of the hundreds of existing bases overseas.”

Benjamin is no crackpot but a hard core anti-capitalist. A San Franciscan, who said her stay in Cuba "made it seem like I died and went to heaven," is a master organizer, fund-raiser and propagandist. She is the founder of several anti-American, anti-corporation and anti-war groups, such as, Global Exchange, United for Peace and Justice and Code Pink.

Born Susan, she is a lifelong revolutionary who changed her name to Medea, after the mythical character who murdered her own children. She authored the socialist utopian book "I, Senator", in which she claimed she "fought Ronald Reagan's illegal and immoral war against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua." She was a principal organizer of the 1999 Seattle riots in which some 50,000 protesters wreaked havoc and tried to shut down the World Trade Organization meetings.

Benjamin’s United for Peace and Justice was deliberately formed as a false public and moderate voice to shield the American Marxist movement previously represented by Ramsey Clark's  A.N.S.W.E.R., a communist front “anti-war” organization that was the brainchild of the Stalinist Workers World Party.  When A.N.S.W.E.R. showed its true colors at one too many anti-war rallies, the organized Left became nervous, prompting the Benjamin to form United for Peace and Justice with fellow radical, Leslie Cagan, a Castro admirer who maintained her membership in the Communist Party USA even after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Her organization, Code Pink is the same group that champions military deserters, praying for the "people of Fallujah", placing the pre-war “human shields” in Baghdad and doling out $600,000 in aid to what they called "the other side." Code Pink has primarily chosen women to lie to, taking advantage of the genuine concern that some homemakers and grandmas have about the Iraq war and using them to add voices at local protests

So, when you see the news accounts of the “American people” marching to end the war in Iraq and whatever other loony notions they have, remember that 95% of the marchers are what Lenin called "useful idiots" and have no idea who organized them and why.

So she's a commie/fascist/socialist loud mouth broad with deep pocket backers. Her problem is she is to stupid to realize the "deep pockets" are using her for their own agenda. Pathetic.

who said her stay in Cuba "made it seem like I died and went to heaven,"

Then why didn't she stay there?

Cabbies Against Bush

Seems like I get stuck with one of these guys every time I'm in New York anymore...

"The World Says End the War"

Would that be the same world that has it's hand out for help and aid every time strife/crime/oppression/genocide/natural disaster wastes whole populations because the UN failed in it's commitment to world peace? Would that be the same world that wants complete responsibility for these things laid at the feet of Americans yet denies America ANY right to act in preventing/stopping these atrocities?

[prairiebreeze]

Oh, I can't post what I'd like to see happen to Medea and her coven. And I recall that Terraayyzzaa Heinz-sKerry is a benefactor of the Ruckus Society.

Born Susan, she is a lifelong revolutionary who changed her name to Medea, after the mythical character who murdered her own children.

I've always wondered how many abortions were required before her creative muse woke up and suggested the empowering, liberating name-change.

[Musket]

Hey Medea. Here's a clue - no charge. If you're against Bush you're FOR the terrorists. Duh.

But what about "Protestors without Pants", why were they excluded?

Actually, it's THIS world:

-Benjamin urges, “Let's channel the bursting anti-American sentiment overseas into targeted boycotts against corporations profiting from war..."-

Yeah, good luck with that, Your Shrewness. They'd be cutting off their own noses.

[Dutchgirl]

Hey! Some of these folks will be "supporting our troops" by demanding surrender in Iraq this weekend in St. Augustine...

[Kenton]

Medea Benjamin will reach new heights in the next three days with the nation-wide “The World Says End the War”

Pssssst. In case you morons missed it, the war's over. We won. The world has finally come around grudgingly to accept that we were right, and the Iraquis are free.

What is left is no longer the stuff of war, but of banditry. And it's getting crushed out more and more every day. Iraq's first freely elected parliament in half a century began its opening session Wednesday.

[Beckwith]

Pssssst. In case you morons missed it, the war's over

You're absolutely correct.

What I think this loony is all about is raising money. If you visit any of the sites she's associated with, fund raising is a big part of what she does.

I believe that there's 1 or 2 percent (maybe more) of these liberal whackos that make a good living out of agitating.
