The commies at International ANSWER are scrambling to cover their rears after Vietnam veterans and Freepers announced they were going to defend the Wall from desecration at the ANSWER rally in Washington, D.C. on March 17.
ANSWER made the mistake of poking a sleeping giant with a hot poker by announcing they were going to hold their so-called antiwar rally on sacred ground:
The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.
The response by veterans, military families and patriotic Americans has been ferocious. The Park Service has been deluged with phone calls complaining that the Wall was being abused by the left. The Park Service has made clear to everyone that the ANSWER rally will be held three hundred yards away from the Wall. There will be layers of snow fencing between Constitution Gardens and the Wall. Park Police will be out en masse and will not repeat the tolerance of the Capitol Police for desecration of out national monuments. (To be fair to the Capitol Police, their masters are 'Rats: Reid and Pelosi.)
ANSWER's boasting of holding a rally at the Wall has caused such a backlash that they have changed their announcement and have posted a disclaimer. Of course, they blame the D.C. Chapter (not by name, but we know, LOL!) for all the heat they're feeling. If they think it's hot now, just wait until March 17.
Here's ANSWER's, ahem, clarification titled Regarding the Vietnam Memorial:
Where we will Assemble on March 17
Tens of thousands of people will be gathering at Constitution Gardens at 12 noon near the Vietnam Memorial prior to the March on the Pentagon on Saturday, March 17. We will not be in the Vietnam Memorial and all speakers for amplified sound are turned away from the Memorial so as not to interfere with family members visiting the site. Constitution Gardens is the same location that ANSWER used for its mass anti-war rally on October 26, 2002. On March 17, 2007 we will leave Constitution Gardens and march on Constitution Ave. and then to Virginia on the way to the Pentagon.
The 58,000 U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam and the millions of Vietnamese who were killed, died in a criminal war. The connection between Vietnam and Iraq could not be more clear. Iraq is also a criminal war of aggression. The central issue today, just as it was in 1967, is to bring the war to an end.
Thousands of veterans and military families, including those who have lost loved ones in Iraq, will be in the front ranks of the March on the Pentagon. Some tiny pro-Bush groups who support the war in Iraq, and who normally mobilize about 25 people to hold signs when massive antiwar protests take place, are now callously trying to manipulate Vietnam veterans by spreading rumors that the March on the Pentagon will defile the Vietnam Memorial. This lie should be treated with the same contempt that people have for the other lies promoted by Bush and his followers to justify an illegal war of aggression: Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction; Iraq was responsible for the September 11 attacks; and that the U.S. occupation would be greeted as an act of liberation by the Iraqi people. Enough lies. Enough deceit!
Well, well, well.

Thanks for the heads up!!
Becker got his commie rocks off during the 2004 inaugural protest when he tricked the Bush Haters into "going commie". He asked for anyone from out of town to raise their hands and the did. He told them to keep them raised and then asked anyone from town to raise their hand.
So now EVERYBODY's got an arm in the air.
And Becker says, "And while you've got your arm in the air, make a fist." Which is a communist revolutionary symbol.
Like I said, useful idiots.
I think he and Mara the head LG commie just cuddled and smoked a cigarette after that.
However, the Days of rage Part II may not be what they had planned.
Of course. North Vietnam's war of aggression against the South was indeed criminal. Not that this is what the black-is-white-up-is-down-slavery-is-freedom Stalinists with A.N.S.W.E.R. mean...
Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction: They certainly did and they used them on many occasions.
Iraq was responsible for the September 11 attacks: The Bush Admin NEVER once said that. That lie was spread by you moonbats, especially that fat pizza eating moonbat, Michael Moore. It's a case of believing your own damn lies.
the U.S. occupation would be greeted as an act of liberation by the Iraqi people: It was. An ABC poll found that 61% of Iraqis are happy for the overthrow of the brutal Hussein regime.
Now excuse me, I need a good bath from just pretending to reply to these moonbats!
*** "blanket-permitting" every public gathering place in downtown DC to shut out any dissenting opinion,
*** having (now) former DC Police Chief Ramsey lead their street marches,
*** peace rioters spray-painting the steps of the US Capitol (Jan 27, 2007),
*** burning US flags on the parade route during the 2005 Inauguration, and
*** breaking through 10-foot high riot fence to attack police officers (2005 Inauguration),
*** inciting their audience at one rally to take actions to deal with a "government spy" and "a cockroach" (me) as I photographed their public hate-America rally.
But this time, after years of molly-coddling by those in charge of the DC government and feeling so self-important, they went too far. In an attempt to draw open the old wounds of another era, they announced that their upcoming anti-America march would begin at the Vietnam Memorial.
OOPS!
American veterans from the Vietnam era, and before and after, said, "Like Hell you are!" and they began organizing a defensive response at The Wall and a counter-protest along their march route.
The Workers World Party secretariat screwed up big-time, and now they are worried.
Their opponents won't number only twenty-five this time. There are a helluva lot more people in the USA who have defended our country and served honorably, and who lost family members and buddies whose names are on the memorial that ANSWER wanted to use as a backdrop for their anti-America blood dance, than ANSWER ever could hope to have in their "membership."
And those American patriots will gather as one on March 17th at The Wall, and they will say, "Don't even think of trying to defile this memorial, you communist bastards!"
Wow.... 40 or 50 Freepers and a few hundred veterans versus "tens of thousands" of hippies. That doesn't even sound like it's going to be close to a fair fight. I hope we don't hurt 'em too badly.
From their retraction ("clarification"???) it looks like we've already won.
We're taking our entire team up from work.
