War protesters linked to radical left-wing groups
The Washington Times ^ | 22 September 2005 | James G. Lakely

The groups gathering in Washington this weekend to protest President Bush and the war in Iraq have ties to radical left-wing groups and communist organizations and have enjoyed the support of the left's biggest financial supporter, George Soros.

United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) and International Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) are the two main organizers of the weekend of events -- the first major public protest allowed to surround the White House in more than 10 years -- and expect 100,000 people from dozens of smaller left-wing and liberal organizations.

A highlight of Saturday, the first day of protests, is an appearance and speech by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq.

"That will be a marvelous moment," said Bill Dobbs, spokesman for UPJ. "I'm sure a lot of people want to hear her."

I bet it will take two days to pick up all the trash the protesters leave behind.

And I bet a good number of the "Protesters" are paid actors.

Does this mean we can shoot them as the subversive
insurrectionists that they are, when they turn violent?

Straight from the MSM's pie hole!

I've been looking forward to this day. Cindy Sheehan and the company she keeps will never be more self-evident to the entire country and we'll have plenty of incriminating video to capture these socialist/communist scum in all their glory. She's our girl for'06.

The Dems officially disassociate themselves of any 'perceived' solidarity with her on that very same day.

Dems: "Cindy Sheehan, like Howard Dean, represents a very small faction within our party."

Thus, driving another disheartening stake through the hearts of those proud liberals who surely believed that this woman has what it takes to turn their bad fortunes around....Rejoice! Her 15 minutes are nearly up.

No kidding. It certainly isn't news that Soros spent $27 million last year trying to defeat President Bush. All the author of this piece had to do is talk to David Horowitz, who's been on top of this stuff for quite some time.

Norman Lear also spent huge amounts. He's the real meathead, Reiner a very close 2nd

The problem here, that I can see, is that this circus act will take place at a time when a monstrous hurricane will surely be all the news. Obviously, this is advantageous to Democrats who are right about now coming to the realization of what their fawning support of this 'grieving mother' with a political axe to grind has finally wrought.

I have a hunch a big, bad lady named Rita is about to upstage Cindy and the moonbats. The hurricane coverage this weekend will all but obliterate them.

"I'm sure a lot of people want to hear her."

It seems even the left has heard just about enough from her, as witness the gigantic crowd (30) who joined Cindy on her march to the White House today.

Lear owns one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence. How odd is that? Yet these libs want things their way or no way at all.

First Katrina and now Rita.

Poor Momma Sheehan. Upstaged by the only two ladies who suck more than she.

Isn't it sad that Americans with genuine objections to the war, and their are good ones, have absolutely no voice because these criminals want to push their own amoral causes?
