Oh my God! More morons than I care to count. You mean Ramsey Clark and Cindy Sheehan aren’t living in Havana? If their mortgages are “under water” then they can scoot to the “island paradise.”

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the ("We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...") Workers World Party website.

Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

Behind the Placards
The odd and troubling origins of today’s anti-war movement
David Corn, November 07, 2002

"Officially, the organizer of the Washington demonstration was International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). But ANSWER is run by WWP activists, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub it a WWP front. Several key ANSWER officials -- including spokesperson Brian Becker -- are WWP members. Many local offices for ANSWER’s protest were housed in WWP offices. Earlier this year, when ANSWER conducted a press briefing, at least five of the 13 speakers were WWP activists. They were each identified, though, in other ways, including as members of the International Action Center.

The IAC, another WWP offshoot, was a key partner with ANSWER in promoting the protest. It was founded by Ramsey Clark, attorney general for President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s."

PING!

Blecch!

[trooprally]

It's being FReeped.

Unfortunetly all the Tea Party AARs have buried my thread.

We will be at ARLINGTON CIRCLE

Thanks for the additional exposure.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

There is a new link with new info in my Post 9.

Thanks for posting the previous thread.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks for the information. ANSWER, et al, sure are a danger to America.

Drove by Walter Reed on the way to the Friday night Support the Troops FReep and saw that someone had already torn down the ANSWER posters that were put up along 16th Street.

There doesn’t seem to be as big of a push this year as two years ago. You can actually drive thru D.C. and spot only a few of their posters.

Check out my link in Post 9.

Thanks for the heads up about this thread.

Wow! Thank you, Ronnie! Just checking in - It is getting worse and worse every day!

Cindy Sheehan is starting up again too.

Since she has outlived her usefulness to the left, and MSM has their guy at 1600 now, I am betting they will not breathe a word of it when she starts targeting Millstone instead of George Bush.

I was not allowed to post a thread on this due to the source.

Is it okay to post a link to the article when commenting on another thread?
