FYI: Bill O'Reilly had David Horowitz on his radio program today.

In Today's NY Slimes, There is a FULL PAGE ad on Page A17.

The ad is signed by Michael Ratner, Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan, etc.

It is called: Drive Out the Bush Regime.

It calls for interupting the President's 2006 State of the Union.

It is sponsored by the Revolutionary Communist Party in coordination with NOT IN OUR NAME.

If someone can get a link to this ad and post it, it will be greatly appretiated.

"But Ratner is a long-time leader of two pro-Communist and anti-American organizations who have for decades lent aid and comfort to America's enemies in the Cold War and beyond."

When did he become leader of the Democrat party? /s The Democrats clearly have established their association with this man and his supporting organizations.

Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan etc. should all be hung for treason. Saddam would have had them shot. China would have had them shot. Russia would have had them shot. In fact, near every country in the world would have them shot.

Ratner and his communist agenda wouldn't move an inch without the aid and comfort of the Marxist pigs in black robes.

Take a look at Ratner's weasily mug here http://www.humanrightsnow.org/ and see if you don't think he embodies what normal Americans think a slimebag pos personal injury lawyer would look like. This man is a turd who unfortunately hasn't been flushed.

I checked several online bio's for Michael and Ellen Ratner -- and NEITHER lists a marriage or name of spouse...

Judging they're both wild eyed and long toothed America hating Communists -- I suspect they're married...

Lord -- I hope they're infertile.....
Perhaps they're both homosexuals and "married" for appearances.....

"If I recall, correctly, Ellen is gay."

You mean Homosexual, Lesbian, Muff diver, carpet muncher?..

Hell, I can't fault her for that, I like women too.

I'm "Gay"! I'm a happy straight guy, with a wonderful family.....

Words mean things....and there is a word for Homosexuals that has been sufficient and clearly definitive for centuries....

I am not adopting PC language or thought.....

Tears streamed down my cheeks, my energy was renewed and I completed the hike. To be like Ché: To be selfless, to make a family of one’s comrades, to give up comfort and material gain for the revolution, to risk and probably give one’s life to free humanity.

Oh baaaarf ... how long must we wait for open season on these scumbags?

Speaking of Ellen Ratner:

BREAKING: Lawsuit Outs Reporter Ellen Ratner as Source for Seth Rich Information
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 7/15/2019 | Jim Hoft
Posted on 7/16/2019, 11:44:10 AM by bitt
Businessman Ed Butowsky filed a lawsuit on Monday that outed FOX News reporter Ellen Ratner was his source for the Seth Rich information.
This comes after Michael Isikoff’s report last week that labeled Butowsky as a Russian source.
Ed told The Gateway Pundit today that Ellen Ratner lied to Isikoff. Ed provided The Gateway Pundit with a copy of his email with Ratner.
Butowsky added that he spoke with Isikoff off the record and he broke his trust by contacting Ratner.
Butowsky told The Gateway Pundit that after last week’s report he was forced to speak out. Ed also says he has more evidence that Ratner was his source on the Seth Rich information.
Butowsky claims Ratner gathered the information on Seth Rich after contact with Wikileaks officials. The Gateway Pundit has not confirmed that information.
Isikoff is already tied to the Trump-Russia collusion scandal after reporting on the junk dossier in his Yahoo report in 2016. The deep state leaked the info specifically to Isikoff who they knew to be a friendly reporter.

Ratner became a staple of antiwar, anti-Bush events. More importantly, he filed a series of high-profile nuisance suits against the Bush administration, one of which attempted to have Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld arrested and tried for “war crimes” by German courts.

Ratner did this through a German law passed in 2002 letting war crimes charges against anyone, anywhere, be brought in German courts even if the cases had no relevant connection to Germany. As it happens, 2002 is the date the US allegedly began eavesdropping on Merkel according to Snowden/Wikileaks.

To hell with antiwar Germany and the EU

We must have real war and kill people that are our enemies

Lawyer shackles on our ability to kill in war are the reason we cannot kill Taliban on the wholesale scale that is necessary

Ratner was a protégé of William Kunstler, and presumably Marxist Arthur Kinoy & Morton Stavis (CPUSA) too (via NLG/CCR).

He was an avowed Marxist (psychopath) and admitted it in a article published in the late 80’s by the Council on Inter-American Security re a debate with Michael Waller.

Ratner was a brilliantly evil lawyer, taking after his communist mentors. If I remember correctly he died within the past year or so and is now filing lawsuits against freedom from down below, wearing Asbestos briefs.
