Top Dems leave as protest nears
Party split between anti-war activists and prominent critics

WASHINGTON - As the anti-war movement arrives in Washington this weekend, many Democrats are leaving.

Nationally known Democratic war critics, including Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and John Kerry of Massachusetts, won't attend what sponsors say will be a big anti-war rally Saturday in Washington.

**SNIP**

En route to Washington for the rally, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan protested outside Clinton's New York office. "She knows that the war is a lie, but she is waiting for the right time to say it," Sheehan said. "You say it or you are losing your job."

Spokesmen for the Democrats who are skipping the anti-war event all said they had schedule conflicts. But some leading anti-war activists aren't buying it.

"There are a lot of people here who are wondering, where are the Democrats?" said Tom Andrews, a former Democratic House member from Maine who's now the national director of Win Without War.

"The Democratic Party has an identity crisis on this issue. We need voices. We need leadership," Andrews said. "But fear is driving them."

Come to think of it, Cindy sort of looks like Khan, don't you all think?

That's a terrible thing to say about Ricard Montalban.

Of course in that scene, he's burned, injured and dying... Well, maybe.

Kerry knows that he lost the election partly due to his anti war protests in the 60's. He may be nuts, but he ain't crazy!

You may have hit on an idea. Why not appennd the words, SURRENDER MOVEMENT to the names of each of the groups sponsoring this crap, whenever we write or speak of them.

For instance:
The Not in our Name surrender movement.
The Win Without War surrender movement.
The Move On .org. surrender movement.
The MSM surrender movement.

".... guess they see no 'upside' to being openly associated with the "SURRENDER NOW!" movement."

Well they're not quite French yet.

They don't want to stay and be photographed with all their buddies?

That's a shame. It would be nice for a change if they showed us who they really are.
