Byron York was in Washington covering an anti-war rally for the conservative National Review, and the protesters were members of International ANSWER, a far-left fringe group whose acronym stands for "Act Now to Stop War and End Racism." "There were actually communists there," York recalls. "It was kind of amazing. They were calling each other `comrade.' In 2003, it was almost like `Jurassic Park,' seeing real, living, breathing communists walking around." And it occurred to the Vestavia Hills native that International ANSWER wasn't the only organization opposed to the war in Iraq in general and George W. Bush in particular....

At the culmination of a gathering of global 'antiwar' groups in Istanbul to hold court on the liberation of Iraq led by the United States and the United Kingdom, the jurors who heard testimony against the liberators issued their findings which included a declaration of support for the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American, British and coalition soldiers and Iraqis.The World Tribunal on Iraq is endorsed by leading leftwing organizations from around the world including American-based groups like Not in Our Name Project, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink and International ANSWER.The war on terror has reached a...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A US anti-war group vowed to surround the White House in a sea of demonstrators during coordinated protests scheduled to take place in Washington, as well as Los Angeles and San Francisco on September 24. The ANSWER Coalition expects more than 100,000 people, from families of US soldiers to trade unions and diverse religious groups, to take part in the demonstrations against the war in Iraq.

I apologize for the delay in posting this thread. The actual event took place this past weekend, and I had intended on posting some of these pictures earlier in the week, but our (Protest Warrior, NY Chapter) unofficial photographer wasn't able to get in touch with me until recently. In any case, we did make our presence felt on the sidelines of the parade, where we were simultaneously able to enjoy the festivities and counterprotest the PLO-loving, terrorist-sympathizing, fifth columnist rabble that decided to use the day where we celebrate America's most steadfast ally in the Middle East as an...

Anti-War and Social Justice Groups Coalesc e for September 24Dear Upchuck,The mass Septembe r 24 demonstration in Washington, D.C. is shaping up to be a powerful showing of true unity as communities, a nti-war and social justice groups are coming together to organize a massive mobilization showing principled solidarity and resistance to Bush 's war drive and quest for Empire. The breadth of this display of unity tha t cuts across all backgrounds is an incredible response to the September 24 call issued by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition on May 12.We want to welcome the National Council of Arab Americans,...

On Wednesday leaders of ANSWER -- the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition -- had a news conference at the National Press Club to announce plans for nationwide popular protests against the war in Iraq on Sept. 24. They said they expected at least 100,000 people to join them in protests in Washington, Los Angeles and other cities.... ANSWER hopes the Sept. 24 protest "will be the largest anti-war demonstrations to take place" since the president's re-election, its national coordinator Brian Becker said Wednesday....

WASHINGTON -- Are anti-war protests going to sweep the United States' streets this fall? The smart betting still says "No," or, at least, "Not yet." But as far as a generally left-wing coalition of anti-war activists is concerned, it won't be for want of trying. On Wednesday leaders of ANSWER -- the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition -- had a news conference at the National Press Club to announce plans for nationwide popular protests against the war in Iraq on Sept. 24.

David F. Rosen answer the questions about Hollywood concert 10:54 2005-05-25 Hillary Rodham Clinton's former chief fund-raiser took the stand in his own defense here on Tuesday, saying that he never intended to understate the costs of a Hollywood concert and dinner during her 2000 Senate race. Indeed, the fund-raiser, David F. Rosen, 38, described himself as a diligent foot soldier in the campaign who deferred to his superiors and was himself misled about the event's expenses by its organizers. "These costs were hidden from me," he said. "These costs were concealed for whatever reason." But during cross-examination, Peter R....

Momentum Buildsfor Sept. 24 Mass Marchin Washington DCThe importance of the mass antiwar protests being organized on September 24 is driven home by two major new stories appearing today (M ay 19). A front-page article in the New York Times, headlined "Generals Offer a Sober Outlook on Iraqi War", is further confirmation of what has become crystal clear over the past month: The U.S. war strategy is in deep crisis and there is no more a "light" at the end of the tunnel in Iraq than there was in Vietnam. Pulling back from their rosy assessments of just a...

Greetings friends, I know it has been a long while since I've posted, but LA Freepers, we need your help! The LA chapter of Protest Warrior is planning Operation: Jackpot, to counter the "mass" rally planned by the commies of ANSWER. Here is the plan so far: Allied forces (that's us) will meet at the corner of 5th St. and Olive Street (NW corner of Pershing Square) at 1130am. The protest is planned to start at high noon. If the rally is being held at 5th and Olive, then the meet up point will be 5th St. and Hill St....

On Saturday afternoon, I drove to Rockville, Md., for a large "gathering to condemn the REAL ID Act." (The act will tighten driver's license standards to prevent illegal aliens from obtaining the IDs, close asylum loopholes, and provide funding to fix a huge gap in a border fence between California and Mexico.) Casa de Maryland, a government-funded open-borders group, organized the protest on the public school athletic field at Richard Montgomery High School. You can see the rally photos I took at my new Flickr site. Here's a sample: www.flickr.com Several hundred "documented" and "undocumented" workers attended, demanding driver's licenses...

The University of Wisconsin at Madison has a history of being a harbinger for social discontent, and as such is generally unreceptive to the precepts of conservatism. The newest addition to the radical right on campus of a local chapter of an international organization called 'Protest Warrior.'Founded in the midst of the Iraq war debate, the Protest Warriors are a group than infiltrates anti-war protests and demonstrations with the intent of fulfilling their manifesto of 'arming the libert loving Silent Majority with ammo that strikes at the intellectual solar plexus of the left.'At a recent ROTC protest rally, the Protest...

Local radio hosts on WMAL Radio in Washington, DC have been up in arms the past few days over a rally being held on Capitol Hill today in support of the invasion of America by illegal aliens.One of the organizers of the rally is known as Mexicanos Sin Fronteras (MSF). Per the announcement below, there are two ways to contact MSF - email or via phone.With a little investigation, we have found that Mexicanos Sin Fronteras apparently shares its office space and telephone with:Alliance for Global Justice, Nicaragua Network, Mexico Solidarity Network, SOA Watch, and (surprise, surprise) International ANSWER.With a...

Busloads of antiwar demonstrators from a hundred American cities rallied in the District yesterday, calling for an end to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and demanding an immediate withdrawal of American troops. Protesters from Maine and Colorado beat drums and chanted "Bring them home and impeach Bush" as they marched past the White House and the Justice Department yesterday afternoon. Many carried homemade placards that read, "Never Prouder to be a Non-Republican" and "Bush Lied — Americans Died." Some donned fanciful costumes to underscore their views. Dr. Alan Meyers, a pediatrician from Boston, came to the rally dressed as a...

Like any other group, Communists come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors. This time they’re wearing pink, they’re on the nightly news, and more than anything, they want the mothers and grandmothers of America to identify with them. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the leaders of the women’s anti-war group Code Pink got lost on their way to the carpool line. Since October, these hot pink-clad "marching moms" have been spinning the same tale to reporters from coast to coast, the one about how concern for their families moved them to trade their oven mitts...

From the Protestwarrior Website: This Thursday the "Berkeley stop the war coalition" and other on-campus anti-war whiners are holding an anti-military protest in an effort to kick recruiters off campus. The local college republicans need your help to show our support for our troops! The protest begins at 10:30 am in Sproul Plaza, the main square on campus, and our rally begins at 11 am. Please bring signs, American flags, wear patriotic t-shirts, etc and lets show them how it's done.

I'm conducting research on the protests held in Fayetteville, North Carolina on March 19, 2005. I'm very interested in talking with someone who was part of the contingent from Free Republic. (I'm only interested in talking with people who were actually physically there.) If you are willing to talk with me, please drop me an e-mail and we can set up a time to talk via telephone. I can be reached at michael.t.heaney@yale.edu. Sincerely, Michael T. Heaney

On Thursday APR 14th, the left at the UW Madison campus will hold a rally asking the administration to "Kick the military off campus". They may also attempt a sit-in at the recruiting office and ROTC office.

We were seperated from the main body of leftists by police. The Anarchists and communists then charged the police line to try to beat us up. It did not work.
