Good One!
Here is a picture of the little squirt fisting the crowd at his "Anti-Republican Rally" on Feb. 16, 2003.

I went downtown to witness the first peace rally, but not to join in. After bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993, a U.S. military barracks, two American embassies, the USS Cole, and then 9/11, I am confident we have given peace enough chances.
It was only curiosity that brought me there.
What immediately became clear was that the rally was less about peace and more about attacking the Republican Party. One speaker called President Bush a “toxic, nauseating weed.” The organizer, Jeff Seemann, read a long list of Republicans and joked about each one. Example: Ken Starr has psoriasis.
Dictator Saddam Hussein received a free pass, but not commentator Paul Harvey, who was also targeted by Seeman. When Seeman inaccurately proclaimed, “Gore won the last election!” and the gathering cheered its loudest, it was completely apparent that peace was not at the core of the rally.
The organizer repeatedly endorsed Democraticunderground.com, so after the rally I logged onto it. The Web site smears Republicans as racists for not supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when in fact it was supported by 81 percent of Republicans in Congress, compared to only 61 percent of Democrats.
Elsewhere, first lady Laura Bush is labeled an “idiot,” and her children are ridiculed as well. Ronald Reagan is defamed as a “rapist,” and an entire section is devoted to humor about his suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
On this Web site, dishonesty is exceeded only by poor taste.
Driving home, I remembered someone at the rally yelling, “What is war good for?” All I could come up with was ending slavery, defeating fascism and Nazism, and now the opportunity to make America safer, and the world more peaceful, by ending the regime of a murderous dictator.

If you have read the letter and agree with it...you can go to the web site via the link and vote on the "Reader's Choice" Poll and even write a comment about the letter that will appear in tomorrow's paper [online edition.]

This little squirt is another stain on the Democrat Party dress.
Duh?
Basically, my husband said the same thing you did after he read the letter this morning, which is one of the reasons I posted it...I thought folks on FreeRepublic would like to read it too.
They wrote that the reporter showed her bias and even lied about what they said to her and what they said at the rally.
Just the other day, the organizer, Jeff Seemen was kicked out of the comment section for sending an email to a local woman who supports our troops and our president...he told her she was a "spiteful b****"...real nice guy.
they'd blame america. or they'd say that the attack was actually done by the bush administration.
these losers, requiring neither reason nor evidence, and observing neither reason nor evidence, will stick to their stalinist/maoist doctrines no matter what.
to paraphrase jefferson, the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of traitors. it is argued that the things detailed in the article above are our great strength. sometimes i wonder.

Hey. There are a lot of folks who have NO idea what is going on at the "Peace Rallies". They think the rallies are about peace...they have no idea they are about Anti-Bush rhetoric and hatred of Republicans.
Good One!

Good article and you're exactly right. These rallies are falsely reported as "peace" rallies but really have almost nothing to do with peace and almost everything to do with politics. It's not a "duh" situation at all.
Or . . . Campaign 2004 and charge the Democratic National Committee with the costs.
That's all any of this madness is. The leftists are getting free advertising and the French, Germans, Russians, and Chinese are trying to decide FOR US who our next President will be. Six more years of GW is their second worst nightmare. Their worst nightmare is to have eight years of a GW-clone to follow him!
And ya know what? Both camps are currently getting away with it. No one in the media is REALLY challenging any of this nonsense. The only ones who are even starting to figure all this out is us FReepers.
I would like for those who disagree to please explain why else France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, and China are dogging our heels like Chihuahuas on steroids. They don't share many views. They don't have the same forms of government. They have varied ambitions. So why are they marching in lockstep now? THEY WANT GW GONE!! Pee Wee Clinton spoiled them and the leftist feel-gooders and they don't like the new Sheriff who took over because he'll, alas, actually do something instead of debate it for decades.
So . . . be warned. Even if you don't agree, please, please keep it in mind when you read of all the madness going on around us. It's up to us to do something about it.
Hopefully, a few folks will compliment the letter writer.
