David Corn was on O'Reilly tonight. This article goes all the way back to November but I searched and didn't find it posted here. While this is not suprising news, that communists are behind the anti-war movement in general, and groups like ANSWER in particular, it is now deocumented and in the mainstream.

Workers World is at http://www.workers.org/, ANSWER is at http://www.internationalanswer.org/. I think this is an important story. Does anyone else?

Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins were mentioned in the O'Reilly segment.

David Corn is the guy who was on O'Reilly tonight. I think this is an important, although not unexpected, story.

"“I’m for a nonpartisan, globalist movement. I don’t care who it is as long as they feel the same.” "

Once again, in case you were sleeping, conservatives THINK while liberals FEEL.

I think it is important for people to know that all these feel-good, hollwood liberal, Ed Asner, Susan Sarandon, ANSWER, NotInMyName, "People of Conscience" are, when you scratch the surface, just old fashioned, Castro loving, freedom hating, America destroying, smelly communists.

These guys aren't into political issues - they are into scoring cheap dope (always available at their rallies) and loose women.

That doesn't mean they aren't dangerous, of course.

Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.


The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

I know of some peacenicks that this applies to.

The idea that anybody against a unilateral attack on Iraq is communist is nothing short of stupid. How did you feel about Komrade Klinton's attack on Yugoslavia?

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I haven't seen the case made yet. I grew up in an America who waxed those who attacked us. I haven't seen evidence of an Iraqi attack yet.

How many enemies are more real? North Korea is an obvious choice.

Your thoughts?

Saddam already hit me with a WMD called Anthrax. It's parking lot time and anybody who disagrees with me is an anti-American outside agitator who should be shipped back to the land of his origin as fast as possible, or to Guantanimo while we process the papers.

(1) I opposed Comrade Clinton's attack on Yugoslavia
(2) Ever heard of the first WTC attack in 1993 and the Oklahoma City Bombing. Those are your Iraqi attacks.

Did I say that anyone against an attack on Iraq was a communist? No I didn't. Does the article make that charge? No it doesn't. What does the article say? It says that ANSWER and IAC are front organizations for the Workers World Party. Did you read the article?

One finds the hand of Ramsey Clark (and the WWP) behind virtually every anti-American movement and demonstration.

Interestingly, almost all of them operate out of a single address: 55 W. 17th St, New York, NY 10011.

Corn has done us all a favor by calling them out. The legitimate left, in particular, has ample reason to be concerned about those with whom it is sharing the nest.

Thanks okie01, this is precisely the point. It's the old story, lots of Alphabet Soup names, but all traceable back to a single point of origin. This game has been going on for a very long time. And Ramsey Clark is indeed scum. Interestingly, most if not all of the alums of the LBJ administration are also lowlifes, Bill Moyers and Jack Valenti are two names that come immediately to mind.

Not much has changed since Hiss and Wallace and the Rosenbergs, has it?

Clark is also a member of the International Committee To Defend Slobodan Milosevic

Can one of you good people help me out here? Clinton and Kosovo was why I turned to the internet for news, the national news was so lacking, but at the time I wasn't glued to the net like I am now.

Was Milosevic that evil? I don't know.

Since I've started to keep a heads up I've seen Muslims concoct massacres for international support, I know the news media will twist everything for a leftist bent and to support the bent one, and that Kosvo was overtaken by Muslims after their Albanian ponzi economic scheme failed, they decided to move to someone elses land and declare it their own. (Much like they plan to do the rest of the planet.)

Can someone give me links to the real Milosevic? Is he true evil or just PC evil??? I really don't know.

"...but I haven't seen the case made yet."

There are two cases against Iraq. One is the very legal, but somewhat technical, case of his flaunting the terms of the UN Armistice after Gulf War I. There is every legal reason to pursue hostilities on this basis. Though I suspect that you, as well as I, don't find it compelling -- on its own merits.

But as to the second case...

Truly, it hasn't been made. Yet. In public.

But where do you think the anthrax came from...???
