War Movement a Republican Creation (Free Republic mentioned, LOL!)

Imagine if the Democratic Party did for peace what the Republicans do for war. --DS (David Swanson)

Pro-war Eagles tied to Republican Party & Conservative Media By David Dixon, www.CharlotteAction.org

The chairman of Gathering of Eagles (GOE), Ret. U.S. Navy Captain Larry Bailey (he was a leader of GOE's protest of Cindy Sheehan's Journey For Humanity & Accountability in Charlotte, NC on July 17), was the president of the Vietnam Vets for the Truth, "which attacked 2004 Democratic Presidential candidate Senator John Kerry's military record, on the heels of the more well-known" Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. (Raw Story). He reorganized the group as The Vets For The Truth in 2006 (& VFTT accepted donations on behalf of GOE). Bailey is a member of the DC chapter of Free Republic.

The GOE's press contact Kristinn Taylor is a co-leader of the DC chapter of Free Republic . Her bio on the FR site refers to her as "Warlord of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com" and having been a member of FR since 1998.

Free Republic (FR) has a Gathering Of Eagles section on their website/"forum", which is included in the menu at the top of their site. Free Republic is an openly right-wing, pro-Republican blog/forum type website and organization. Kristinn Taylor has a recent posting on FR concerning the DC Free Republic's plan to disrupt the July 23 March from Arlington Cemetery to Rep. Conyers for Impeachment, being led by Cindy Sheehan.

In fact, it appears Free Republic is a main driving force behind Gathering of Eagles, which serves as an umbrella group for FR and the organizations they are related too.

Key organizations that promoted and participated in the launching of the Gathering Of Eagles & their first counter-protest at the March 17, 2007 March on the Pentagon are Move America Forward, Free Republic, and Rolling Thunder.

Conservative journalists that promoted and covered the GOE creation/counter-protest include Front Page Magazine's Jaime Glazov and syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin. Malkin had articles published in places such as National Review Online and The New York Post and, of course, posted on Free Republic.

"Sgt. Artie Muller, founder of Rolling Thunder, the POW/MIA advocacy group, has called on his 80-plus chartered chapters to turn out. Move America Forward, a grassroots, nonprofit, pro-military charity, is launching a caravan from California March 8 to join the Eagles and will bring flags from across the country for the event."

Move America Forward (MAF) is lead by California Republican activists, talk show hosts and staff members of the public relations firm Russo Marsh & Rogers. MAF's California Articles of Incorporation registration address was that of PR firm Russo Marsh and Rogers (their first .com web address was also registered under the name Russo Marsh and Rogers). The firm has strong ties to the Republican Party.

Move America Forward's "Chief Strategist" Sal Russo is the founder and principal of Russo Marsh and Rogers, though he chooses not to list that on his MAF bio.

Melanie Morgan is the chairman of Move America Forward. She is a columnist for WorldNetDaily and conservative radio talk show host at KSFO in San Francisco. She has, or at least had, an email address with the PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers, Melanie@RMRWest.Net.

Rolling Thunder claims to be a POW/MIA advocacy organization. However, their ardent support of right-wing, pro-Republican organizations and their active role in organizing and participating in their "events" reveals another agenda as well.

Ar Rolling Thunder's last rally in Washington, DC on May 27, 2007, two of their featured speakers were "Capt. Larry Bailey USN, Retired" and "Kristinn Taylor freerepublic.com". The leader of their group met privately with President Bush prior to their rally.

This is just a small sample of the close connections between Gathering Of Eagles, Move America Forward, Free Republic, Rolling Thunder and the Republican Party and conservative media. There is much more information available in the public domain, mostly from these groups websites and conservative media outlets.

David Dixon is founder & coordinator of the social justice organization Action Center For Justice and OperationImpeachment.org.

"....those Journalists, Mags, Orgs that have and are PROMOTING the Gathering of Eagles Rally...."

First: Thank YOU: All Freepers!- for also attending the last Rally and planning to attend this next one--but as was said here and in many other Threads, Conservatives marching to Counter the attempted destructiveness of these liberal groups can also PROMOTE This Event too in one more way than just attending.

As was noted-since the PRESS only covers the POSITIVE Aspects of ANSWER'S "Motives"-and then Creates fictitious Negative ones for Conservative Groups showing up- it is ALSO UP TO ALL CONSERVATIVES to PROMOTE this next Rally too by making sure to reach EVERY SINGLE other American Citizen FIRST!-Before the Liberal media does!;

- Go to your Your Co-Workers, Those who you see in your travels & Errands everyday, and those that you can reach thru handing out phamplets , flyers and putting up G.of E. Posters where ever you can!(Or Wear Your GOE Shirts around town-a Coffee cup on your desk-a GOE Pin on your lapel as you walk around-a G.ofE. Bumper Sticker on your car)

The Libbie Orgs and the Media that supports them always does better with their getting the First Strike in BEFORE Conservatives can catch up! (If it can be said we can ever get fully caught up in correcting the false image the libbie media Propaganda campaigns against anything conservative)

LET US be the FIRST in getting OUR Message out FIRST!-

so as to prepare the everyday citizens who may not know US- and so as to make them really question when the libbies try to pain us the negative colors they would like America to see us in!

IF You can too-Make a few fliers with Two-Halves of Info on it: Pics of what The EAGLES looked like ( Peaceful! Pride in our Nation, Troops, Flag!) in the Last G.Of E. Rally and then let the SECOND lower section of your flyer show PICS of what these Anti-War/Sheenhan/SUPPOSEDLY " Peace " Marchers look like and the REAL Massage they are walking around with that the Media does NOT Print or show.)

In fact, it just might be my past experiences with the Average American but- I get such a Reaction from them when they DO Finally see what assorted SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST and NUT CASES are IN these ANSWER so-called "Peace Rallies"!-Cause the Media NEVER shows the truth about the Libbie marches.

But don't let that stop you from making your own.-

OR...BUMPER Stickers to hand out too-that will be finished this week.

I may be redundant in my pressing this issue- but I get so PO'ed when I over-hear the Libbies where I live ( IN Liberal Westchester County-NY) as they go ON & ON about, " Did you See that PEACE RALLY on CNN yesterday ??? " and they are totally obvious to the fact that Just as many if not MORE "Other-AVERAGE-Citizens" came out to Have their OWN Rally-which just Happened to me OPPOSITE of Sheehan's or ANSWERS'!

Just like have you ever noticed the surprised reaction you get from Middle-of-the-Road or other "Politically-Uneducated" average People when you tell them there actually ARE "BUSH-SUPPORTERS" Out there! -" Oh My! Really??!! How come I Never SEE or Hear about them on the news then!? "

While SO MANY other out there like ; Freepers: Kristinn-Move America Forward, Gathering Of Eagles, Rolling Thunder, Protest Warriors, Mark Levin Fans, USVETDSP.COM, and many others IF YOU CAN NOT GO to attend that Sept 15th- Try to do what I do- ALWAYS CARRY INFO -Fliers-and the TOP 4-5 Most Important ARTICLES to Correct Libbie Lies- and HAND OUT "Conservative-Cause-Issues" to anyone and everyone.

Time is always short;-Our time,your time, ALL our own "Personal Time" on this planet :to fulfill our destiny and Christian Duties. At my age ask me if I care what people think or say about me as I go door to door handing out info to correct the liberals past lies and let average Americans know th4ey too can Fight Back against those who would wish to destroy America and destroy it for their children & children's children.

God Bless you all-I hope to see everyone from the last G of E too!

Yes, I've watched lowyers work both sides of the fence for years. Their pitch is always... "who better to rip your adversaries a new one than the guy/gal/firm that did such a good job for them in that area of law that the book we wrote on the subject sits at the elbow of every judge in CA!!!

We didn't whup 'em with that can of whup-asprin, needless to say. The lowyer/author I refer to lives down there with EGD and it's his daughter that threatened President Bush's life and of course daddy stood up for her in the Sacramenna BEE-ESS!!!

So, way down deep, he liked all that GovernMental EnvironMental extremeism they kept trying to force into our County General Plan and knew damn good an well he should have objected to the judge-shopping by the other side, but never did...

This is the legalistic morass we are mired in. Lowyers write the laws, Lowyers elevated to judgeships interpret the laws and EnvironMental Lowyers, allowed by laws they wrote to act as Citizen Attorney Generals, get huge legal fees even when settling with a GovernMental agency instead of going to trial to see if they are going to win or lose!!!

It's off subject here, but still obscene!!!

<snip>Ramsey Clark is the founder of the International Action Committee (IAC), a pro-Saddam, pro-Milosevic organization that regards America as the world's leading and most threatening terrorist state. In a previous article about the "peace" organization A.N.S.W.E.R (March 29, 2002), I noted IAC's interlinking directorate with the Workers World Party (WWP), a Stalinist organization which was created in 1959 as a splinter of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party.

In that year [1959], WWP leader Sam Marcy and his comrades supported the Soviet suppression of the Hungarian Revolution which had sought unsuccessfully to break free from the Soviet empire. WWP cadres staff the IAC offices and share political platforms. For example, WWP leaders spoke at an IAC rally in 1995 condemning Republicans generally and The Contract with America, specifically. Among them was Gavrielle Gemma, who has been credited with recruiting Clark to the IAC.

Among its icons, like Cuba's dictator Fidel Castro, the Workers World Party has an unrestrained admiration for North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung. In November 1986, Deirdre Griswold, an IAC executive, declared that North Korea was a socialist success story because there was no poverty, famine, or homelessness in North Korea. Griswold alleged that Kim Il Sung's birthday was celebrated both in North and South Korea.... ------Who Is Behind Lynne Stewart? By Michael Tremoglie FrontPageMagazine.com | September 25, 2002
