For those of you promoting the agenda of NOT supporting Harriet Miers, take a look at where you are siding.

Not in Our Name project.
They are SDS/Weatherman.
From FBI Files:
Weatherman or Weather Underground Organization, is a "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society or SDS. They were originally called the Revolutionary Youth Movement. They advocated the overthrow of our government and capitalism. They carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in 1969-1976.
The group derived their name from Bob Dylan's song lyrics from "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which were, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", I use to see that quote at the bottom of their periodical, New Left Notes, when I use to work at a periodical distribution company.
Their first event, in 1969, was the "Days of Rage" in Chicago. They blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. They announced at a convention that they supported Charles Manson. The rally failed to draw as many participants (300) as they had hoped. They did lead a riot through Chicago's business district, smashing windows and cars. 6 were shot and 70 arrested. The conflict went on for a few days.
1970, after the shooting by police of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a Declaration of War against the United States government, changing its name to the "weather underground organization", adopting fake IDs, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included plans for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix. But when three Underground members died in an accidental explosion while preparing the bomb in a Greenwich Village, New York City safe house, other cells re-evaluated their plans and decided to pursue only non-lethal projects.
This group released a number of manifestos and declarations, while conducting a series of bombings. These attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets. The group took measures to avoid any loss of life as a result of these bombings, issuing warnings to evacuate the building ahead of time via phone. They also took a $25,000 payment from a drugs group called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. They remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI.
In the mid-to-late 1970s, the group began dissolving, as many members turned themselves in to the police, and others moved onto other armed revolutionary groups. Very few served prison sentences, since the evidence gathered against them, by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, was inadmissable in court, due to the illegal methods used to obtain it.
Famous members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, David Gilbert, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers, now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile "I don't regret setting bombs. I believe we didn't do enough."

If you aren't supporting Harriet Miers, take some time to do a search of BUSHCOMMISSION.ORG. Not a site search. A search to see where info is pulled from:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22bushcommission.org%22&hl=en&lr=&filter=0
Make sure if you are not on the side of supporting Miers, it isn't information that came from SDS, Not In Our Name, MoveOn.org, of the NLG.
There was a live thread here months ago....Someone posted a pdf file with William F. Buckley name in it...it was a human rights activist file.
I didn't download it but read it here on line.
Communists are always such cute little things. And so very harmless. At least that's what communists tell us. Isn't it?
Oh, goody. Name one without a paper trail.
Lashing out are we?
Liberals and conservatives are united in their disapproval of Miers because she is objectively unqualified for the SCOTUS. I'm sure it's a bitter pill for you to swallow, but her lack of qualifications transcends subjective political opinion. The great majority of people who support this nomination are people who have sworn an oath of fealty to George W. Bush and consider loyalty to him to be the sum total of "conservatism."
So please keep dreaming.
I thank you. thank you very much ::in voice of Elvis::
She isn't going to be withdrawn, and she will be confirmed.
The victory, as they say, is ours.
We don't. I'm hoping Bush does, though...
"Why" they end up on one side or the other is important.
Party-faithful arguments include simple head counting and guilt by association.
Couldn't have said it better myself; I agree with your observations whole-heartedly.
We'll see about that when the vote is taken, won't we.
That is confusing a goal with EOE criteria.
The evidence supports that conclusion.
Go ahead and call me names.
You ignorant fool.
"But these "measurable targets" are adjusted, usually down, according to a person's skin color, gender, or even age, in order to achieve diversity. How is that good business practice for a successful business? I think it isn't. And I also believe it's counterproductive for the existing employees to excel, knowing they have no chance to advance because of their gender, skin color, or age. In the long run, it's bad business practice."
It depends on who you are trying to do business with - if you want banking business in the Black or Asian-American communities you need a certain level of Asian faces for credibility.
Women may likewise shy away from doing business with someone they perceive as not hiring women.
And frankly there are plenty of white people who would rather not do business with an entirely black or Asian firm..it's not a coincidence that Japanese automakers have white faces visible.
Are you giving into people's prejudices? Sure. But it's not my job as a business man to fix the world- my job is to make money without breaking the law.
Hmmmm....Why in the world would you keep using the broken clock? Repair or Replace.
When faced with many paths...I choose the RIGHT path for me, and then frequently check my direction or azimuth to ensure I am headed to the Destination I intended.
And I support the Senate's right to reject the nominee on reasonable grounds. The fact that she is a cipher is reasonable grounds. The fact that she hasn't demonstrated she holds a traditional view of Constitutional jurisprudence is reasonable grounds. The fact that she has a weak grasp of Con law is reasonable grounds.
Even if Miers is unanimously confirmed by the Senate, that won't change the fact that she is unqualified. A Senate vote can't repair a deficient resume.
I hear that there are groups of lefties coming out against rape and murder. Should I change my stance on those issues as well?
I see the Miers troops excel in mediocrity.
amen
Oh, thanks for the post. It turns out that I was being brainwashed by SDS, it's not like Meirs is an unqualified crony or anything.
