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.
>>>From both sides which you need to recognize.
Honestly, I've not see one Mier's supporter call anyone a name. Can you show that?
Enough is enough. Can the demagoguery, where the American future is at stake.
You don't read my whole post then attack me?
Enough is enough, Touche'
There is nothing in the article you posted at the top of this thread, which articulates any reason to support the nominee except that certain Leftists are not doing so.
You also urge that people make sure their information is not coming from the Leftists. Fine. That is not a reason to support the nominee. My reason for opposing the nominee comes from things posted on Free Republic by other Conservatives. But that really isn't the point either. Your approach is to distract from the real question. That question is why should we support the nominee?
>>>>You also urge that people make sure their information is not coming from the Leftists. Fine.
Yes, that is what my post was, exactly.
>>>There is nothing in the article you posted at the top of this thread, which articulates any reason to support the nominee except that certain Leftists are not doing so.
I was writing a for or against post. I wanted to show the launch of Not in Out Name which has been the source of a lot of anit Miers articles I traced back to the Kissinger site, Bushcampaign.org
>>>Your approach is to distract from the real question. That question is why should we support the nominee?
Back that up.
>>>I was writing a for or against post.
Should have been:
I wasn't writing a for or against post.
I didn't see an earlier poll, but I think it's likely that opinions have shifted. I certainly wouldn't have voted against Miers when her nomination was first announced. But as I learned more I became less enthusiatic, to the point now that I oppose her nomination. I imagine that many FReepers underwent a similar transition.
In professional polling, a sample of 300 is considered adequate to produce reliable results. A sample of over 3,000 should very accurately reflect FReeper sentiment.
In any case, I wouldn't care if I were in a tiny minority: I am convinced we can and should do much better than Harriet Miers.
Some of us have been saying that those making such a fuss are doing the job the liberals usually do. In fact, they can just sit back and smile and let the republicans destroy themselves on this one. I am appalled by this all, and shocked to be honest.
My feelings on this matter mirrors yours, glgb.
I honestly can't tell if the majority are 'RINOs' or real conservatives.
I found the BUSHCOMMISSION.ORG site by backtracking sources from anti Miers articles.
Well, if PAIC and GLGB agree, I'd say that pretty much wraps it up ;-)
"Then think about that statement"
Oh, my. was someone mean to you? Does that mean that everyone who is against this nomination is mean, too?
You need to think about taking back this whole post....it's nonsense.
"What do you call it?"
Oh, I don't know......maybe.....politics?
Wow. Totally pathetic.
You use the same logic as the communists you accuse us of siding with.
Remember: America is a terrorist nation because we shared a common goal with Bin Laden when we fought the Soviet Union in Afghanistan?
Or what about this:
You are promoting the Democrats' agenda when you support Harry Reid's personal pick for the Supreme Court.
Way to go splicing a post to change the topic ^-^
Try rereading what I wrote.
"Way to go splicing a post to change the topic ^-^"
Junior.....I was sticking to the subject of the thread YOU started.
Do you have a problem with that? To paint reasoned opposition to Miers - (you do agree that there is reasonable grounds to oppose her, don't you?) - as anything but political disagreement is crazy.
Trash punditry is more like it.
It's been an all new low.
