The following picture on its website illustrates the goal of the organization:

Turning a blind eye to Iraqi mass murders is hazardous to your humanity.

I'm offended by the word "humanity". Why does it have to be huMANity and not huwomanity? Such a sexist culture...

ah yes RED RON,.... I hadn't heard that name in years and had been enjoying that. He used to run his speeches by Fidel before he gave them on the floor of the House.

[SandRat]

Hey guys call all the Nam Vets, here's a name from our past that we Despise! Red RON is at it again and with a "Central Committee" no less.

Amen. The left wing is out of their mind when they take this position. Left wing dream, the summer of love would last forever. The only end of this dream is the death of the Democratic Party, so let the freaks continue. I wonder though what the right will complain about if that should happen.

America is wonderful. Young men and women are sent into harms way to protect and liberate... meanwhile this list of enemies are free to go about their daily lives. If this were any other country they would probably be shot or at least sent to prison.

Dellums was not anti-war in 1971 when I attended one of his speeches. He called for the ARMED OVERTHROW OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. If the KGB was not paying him, then he was working for free. It illustrates where the dim party was not long ago that Dellums headed the Armed Services Committee and had access to classified information. Oops, that's where the dims still are.

[OldFriend]

He was called Red Ron for a very good reason.

How-to guides on being AWOL, various reasons for getting out of the military

Uh, someone forgot to tell these geniuses that the 60s are over and we have an all-volunteer military.

[R. Scott]

The list of sponsors of the organization is quite the rogues gallery.

I see old Joan Baez-zard is at it again. I was reading that she was once Bob Dylan's girlfriend, but he dropped her when she wiped herself with the flag.

I thought that is what the military is supposed to do...make you paranoid and homicidal.

[demlosers]

I recall Commie Dellums was chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. The fox in the hen house.

May I also add that joining the Democratic party is hazard to your hummanity!!
