"The movement has been hijacked by a bunch of neo-Stalinists," complains Raimondo,....."

He meant to say the DEM party instead of 'this movement'.....

"This will not play in Peoria," warns Gitlin, "It does not deserve to play in Washington."

Gitlin doesn't deserve any play in Washington either. Since when did Gitlin ever apologize for championing Communist murder for the past 50 years?

Shouldn't you save that for disruptors? This is a good post, IMO

[RedBloodedAmerican]

If I was thinking he was a disruptor, I would have said "have a nice stay" :)

Good article on the recent "peace" protest in Washington and the real (violent, totalitarian) nature of the organizers.

Thanks! Amazing article.

[hellinahandcart]

Heck of a first post. I just bookmarked it.

Bump to the top!

[hellinahandcart]

Or, I should say "amazing article even though so much of it consists of quotes from Justin Raimondo". :@

[steve50]

I agree it's a good article. The best way to discredit dissent has always been to define it by it's most objectionable members.

Welcome to FR, Lo-Pro, and great article, but where did you find it?

[hellinahandcart]

Check this article out.

'The Pull' was referring to a counter-demonstration held in the capitol, organized by "freepers" sporting "Tyranny Response Team" T-shirts. "Freeper" speakers challenged current leadership of the anti-war movement, accusing them of being sycophants in the service of brutal dictators. Among the "freeper" speakers was former Clinton administration official, Notra Trulock. Trulock is former Director of Intelligence for the Department of Energy, and a well-known whistleblower on national security intelligence failures. He currently serves as chairman for Accuracy in Media, a journalism watchdog group. ("Freepers" are supporters of the Free Republic Network.) Their Iraqi guests, who addressed the crowd in both English and Arabic, spoke of atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein and pled for Americans to intervene. For some, it was personal- several of the Iraqi-American community members present said they had lost family members to Saddam Hussien’s regime, through execution or imprisonment.

Good article, featuring Ramsey Clark, Lynne Stewart, Brian Becker and the usual suspects.

[William McKinley]

The fact of the matter is that these may be the most objectionable members of the anti-war movement, but they also happen to be the leaders and organizers of it.

Dissent is well and good, except when it tries to hide its aravice behind the romantic visage of principled dissent.

[Stultis]

Yeah, well I'm comfortable in allying with Raimondo for the purpose of opposing Stalism (just).

:@

Haven't come across that one. User ties knot in cherry stem with her tongue?

[hellinahandcart]

You bad boy.

That is a "howling" or "screaming" smiley.

[Stultis]

Oh. Guess I need a COLD shower this morning!

[hellinahandcart]

Yeah, well, here's one for after your ablutions:
