I can see there is a portrait on his shirt, but I can’t make out who it is. The actual guy, however, looks a little like Steven Raichlen, from Barbecue U.
Look closely at the bottom of the sign that the schmuck in the white t-shirt and glasses is holding. It says “Bail Out People Movement” or something along those lines. ‘BOP’ is a front for the Workers World Party. WWP is closely allied with the communist Kim Jung-Il regime of North Korea. They defended and supported Saddam Hussein. This same guy, btw, I’ve seen before at ANSWER rallies. He’s likely one of their leaders. ANSWER was also founded by the WWP. However, they (ANSWER) are now ‘technically’ under the control of the PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation). The PSL is an offshoot of WWP.
"Bail Out People" is a front for the Stalinist Workers World Party. Other WWP fronts include ANSWER, Troops Out Now, May 1 Coalition, FIST...
