Here Are The Radical Leftist Anti-Tump Groups Behind The Chicago Protest
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/12/16 | Michael Volpe

The usual suspects of local radical leftists were instrumental in organizing the anti-Trump rally protest in Chicago on Friday.

Chicago ANSWER

ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Chicago is the Chicago franchise of an international network started in the wake of 9/11 and among the first to protest against a response in Afghanistan; since then the group is involved in most of the radical left’s favorite causes: anti-capitalist, pro-union, open borders, anti-war, anti-police causes. The day after the Trump rally the group was holding a forum entitled “Taking Action to Support Palestine.”

“We will have a report back from the People’s victory against Trump last night,” according to John Beacham, a coordinator with the organization, in a message on the Facebook page promoting the event.

The group advertised the anti-Trump protest about a day in advance on their website calling for a “Mass Protest to Stop Donald Trump”.

“Stand with All Immigrants, Muslims and People of Color! Shut Down White Supremacy! Spread the word. Organize everyone you can and get them to this very important protest. Everywhere Trump goes he and his racist mob must be shut down by the people!” the group said on the page.

They forgot to add the Republican Party to the list.


Thanks for noting that.

True story: spoke w/a black colleague on Saturday about the Chicago Trump rally being disrupted.

Black colleague is Democrat, Obama voter...but said they:

1. Believed the protestors were paid to show up and cause trouble.

2. Did not believe Trump was racist, even though they didn’t always agree with Trump.

My belief: my black colleague is tip of iceberg. Many, many, others see what is happening and are not buying the Big Lie that moron.org is propagating.

They’ve been using the slogans “Stop War” and “End Racism”
since forever.
How grandiose and vague. How, pray tell, does one do that?
By mind control? Self control? By killing all the racists? By rioting against those who seek to keep the peace? How racist and warlike.
Simplistic bombast. Get on board, useful idiots. Act now!

But a slogan like “Just Say No to Drugs” ? Ridiculous! Impossible !
