Diverse Voices To Denounce Iraq Troop Plan [Hanoi Jane's war protest] [FR DC Chapter opposes]
Washington Post ^ | January 27, 2007 | By Michael E. Ruane

Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.

They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.

The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.

The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

~~snip~~

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

Why does she say we have to work harder?

Because that's where her values lie: socialism.

We all have to work harder for the betterment of the "state."

Let's not forget this is the woman who said that the Clinton administration could give us a tax cut because we "might not spend it the right way."

I find it hilarious to hear her trying to speak about science. "Ripple effect over natural forces and so on and so forth." Bwahahahahaha!!!

Please, DEAR GOD, let someone ask a tough question.

Doesn't matter. It would only be a softball disguised as a hardball question to which she would have practiced an answer to for hours ahead of time. They don't even pretend anymore.

To anyone to missed this, it's as predictable as you would expect. A love fest of epic proportions.

She really is floundering on technical stuff, probably because when she was in college she thought the hard sciences were a fascist plot.

Your right. This is making me sicker.

Notice, not once did she use the term Global Warming. She calls it Climate Change.

Her voice is getting screechy. Now if someone would bring up the troops and the surge.

She held on to the union votes when she said she didn't want to hurt the auto companies.

Guess we'll all be having an 'element' of hay in our car trunks to get more mileage.
