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

Posted on 09/21/2005 10:49:23 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

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."

A couple of years ago there was a big antiwar demonstration in DC. The theme the media and organizers decided to push was "regular" Americans. The cameras would linger lovingly on a grandmother or young mom with a baby.

I decided to watch the demonstration on C-SPAN. A nastier group of American haters radicals you could not find.

Nice how the media cooperated with the organizers and spun the demonstration they way the media wanted.

One good thing is that Rita should take alot of the attention away from this demonstration and attention is the lifeblood of these types.

Lear owns one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence.

Hearing that makes me furious. Might as well allow a pig to own it. The pig would understand and cherish it as much.

Why dont they all just leave the country, since they hate America and blame America and think America is the worst thing the world has ever seen?

I just tried to go to discoverthenetwork.org, and got a weird "Directory Listing Denied" error from the server there. Do you get the same thing?

That's Horowitz's cool site where they document all the links among these "activist" groups, Soros, Dems, etc.

I thought they were going to stay till the Troops came home and all their demands were met? I hope the DC cops treat them like NYPD did.

The big protest will be crowded out of the headlines by Hurricane Rita hitting Texas this weekend.

This will make it TWO hurricanes that have 'rained on her parade'.

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.

Yeah, I think you're right. With Rita scheduled to hit Saturday, Cindy's days in the limelight are waning.

Saturday... that should be about the time the MSM will be preoccupied with the effects of Rita. One thing about Muther Cindy is her timing really sucks. And that's not all.

"Don't forget the TIDES foundation, another leftist group supporting these type of terrorist supporters."

Isn't Tee-Ray-Zah Heinz Frankenkerry somehow connected with the TIDES Foundation? Seems like I read that somewhere.

The leftist rag the Village Voice has reported that this weekend, between rallies at the White House sponsored by United for Peace and Justice and International ANSWER,
Sheehan will make a side trip to share her concerns and keen foreign policy insights with the likely 2008 Democratic presidential candidate.


"...Hillary’s decision comes after Sheehan told the press she was “so frustrated” with the Democratic all-star for not endorsing immediate, unilateral withdrawal from Iraq.

At a rally on Sunday, Sheehan reassured her supporters Hillary is “waiting for the best political moment to say” she favors the pullout, warning Hillary in no uncertain terms: “You say it, or you’re losing your job.”

Sheehan’s fiery rhetoric represents a new tactic: targeting prominent Democrats for defeat if they do not parrot her solution to Iraq. “It’s time for them to step up and be the opposition party,” Sheehan said. Learning the lessons of Vietnam, Sheehan forecasts, “This war is not going to end unless the Democrats are on board with us...”

What do you mean "linked?" They are members of the radical left-wing.
