Bad Company - What the Media is Not Telling About the "Anti-War" Gathering
Investors Business Daily ^ | 23 September 2005

Posted on 09/24/2005 9:17:17 PM PDT by Lando Lincoln

The media have pushed the idea that the demonstration this weekend at the White House was an "anti-war" gathering. What they didn't say was who was behind it.

No doubt, many fine, sincere people demonstrated this weekend against the U.S. liberation of Iraq. Being Americans, they're certainly entitled to do so.

Maybe they even endorsed the view of those who organized the demonstrations. On Thursday, the organizers ran a two-page ad. On one, they called the Bush administration liars. On the other, they ran the names of all those who have died in Iraq.

But we'd be surprised if those well-meaning folks understood whose banner they were marching under, because the media aren't reporting it. For the record, the lead organizer is ANSWER, which the media routinely refer to as an "antiwar group."

It is nothing of the sort.

In fact, ANSWER is a front group for the Stalinist Workers World Party. And any group that qualifies for that epithet in front of its name deserves special scrutiny, since Josef Stalin was responsible for the murder of as many as 25 million human beings.

Well, you might ask, does it really matter? It sure does.

Imagine for a moment it was a different group that sponsored the demonstration — say, a neo-Nazi group. Think The Washington Post and other media would report that? You bet they would.

They formed 3 days after 9/11? What a coincidence....

To be honest I'm not sure when they started up .. just that they have a history

Kristinn knows more about this group

If we had a justice department worth it's salt, it would investigate who funds A.N.S.W.E.R., and just where it's tinticles lead.

A.N.S.W.E.R. supports the P.L.O. / Hamas point of view, the Taliban / Al Queda points of view as sell, South American Terrorists, Philipene Terrorists, and from the sound of their speaches, they detest just about every thing this nation stands for.

BTW all you open border folks out there, A.N.S.W.E.R. is one of your biggest supporters, or perhaps unbeknownst to you, an entity that you are supporting by your actions.

We're lucky to get a few hundred people on the street in Los Angeles. A.N.S.W.E.R. puts thousands of people out there. I'd like to know at what cost, and whose deep pockets are underwriting it.

A.N.S.W.E.R. is the single worst threat to this nation that there is at this time IMO. It combined with it's fellow travelers have only one thing in mind, taking this nation down.

MSM= Mindless Spineless Media.

I wish that were true but their not. The article is the work of an agenda. Take a wild guess what that is.

Thanks for the photo.

I wonder how many are protesters vs paid "mercenary protesters" and just paid extras using Soros funds. I also wonder how many are counter protesters.

Even so, does that look like 100,000 people?

I agree that's not a ladylike picture. But it's your one line that caught my attention:

Notice...no wedding ring.

Do people really still look at the ring finger? I am married but no longer wear my ring. (Not only is it too tight now, but somehow it was bent). I haven't rushed to have it fixed, thinking I don't have to prove I'm married to anyone. But now I'm wondering if I'm walking around with three kids, and people are looking at my ring finger and making an assumption...

To fix the ring or not fix the ring? That is the question.

When I was that far along with each of my kids .. I couldn't wear my rings because I gained so much weight

Dont forget the DSA
Democratic socialists of America

Mckinney is one of them and launched the rally today
Pelosi is another member of DSA, shes just tricky enough to hide her affiliation

There are probably fifty or more such organizations plus others such as the ACLU and most greens, womens and race baiting groups. Oh it's a great federation.

Im pleased that they are getting bold enough to let the world know who they are but I want the media to hasten the process.

Todays rally was so vile and anti America Id be shocked if the media doesnt run with it

Sadly, the MSM is one of their fellow travelers. That's why they trash the war daily. These are the same groups from the 70s that got a pass back then. I guess that's not exactly accurate though. They didn't just get a pass, the MSM built them up into a powerhouse.

Saying that Vietnam wasn't a just war is one thing. I disagree stridently, but the effort in Iraq is directly connected to our nation's survival.

If the left will sell us out on this, the message should be loud and clear. They want to take this nation down. The media would love nothing more IMO.
