Free Republic

In the January 26 issue (#299) we reported that the anti-American & anti-war protests were very interesting not so much because of the subject matter but because of the players. About 5% were known mainline socialist/communist organizers. Nearly 20% had no reason for being there other than to try to get lucky. Another 20% were has-been hippies who just do not fit in anywhere anymore. At least another 20% had issues other than protesting a war. And it looked like the rest were just there because someone made them think it might be a good idea. It was something to...

<p>Even as U.S. forces advance on Iraq, a home front is forming. Antiwar groups, many of them trained in a series of often-violent antiglobalization protests in recent years, are planning demonstrations aimed at shutting businesses and financial markets.</p> <p>During the past week, protesters have halted trading on London's International Petroleum Exchange and created traffic havoc in San Francisco's financial district. Wednesday, 27 demonstrators were arrested following a sit-in in front of the White House, while other protests took place in Boston, Detroit and New York, among other cities. Activists plan more widespread disruptions the day after hostilities break out.</p>

MTV anti- American musician: "This isn't America's war, this is George Bush's war - it's a sham!" "Most Americans do not support this war" This is what they are feeding the youth of America. MTV commercial: "Most Americans are against the war but the media has whited them out." They just stated that the US deserves 9/11!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dozens of people were arrested on Wednesday when hundreds marched in cities across the United States to protest a looming U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Demonstrators in Washington, New York , Boston and San Francisco railed against war, shouting "No Blood for Oil" and "Shame," while the clock ticked toward an 8 p.m. EST deadline set by President Bush for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to go into exile or face a massive invasion. "If the war breaks out, walk out!" chanted a crowd of about 250 people around Lafayette Park, which faces the White House . In Boston,...

Not In Our Name and the World Wide Terrorism WebBy Michael TremoglieFrontPageMagazine.com | March 19, 2003 In the run-up to this war, Not In Our Name became one of the major “peace” organizers and coalitions in the United States. Not In Our Name has spared no cost purchasing ads in newspapers around the world to publish its anti-American Statement of Conscience.  Its signatories include scores of Hate America bigwigs, like Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Gloria Steinem and Barbara Kingsolver.  Hollywood icons (and many more has-beens) like Danny Glover, Jessica Lange, Tyne Daly, Martin Sheen and Ed Harris have...

ANSWER is planning an anti-war protest in Chicago IL. for the day the war to liberate Iraq starts. They plan to meet at the Federal Plaza on Dearborn St. between Jackson and Adams @ 5pm and will gather at the exit from the Blue Line on the NW corner of Jackson and Dearborn.

"How can Bush claim to care so much about human rights in Iraq while embedding himself in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait?" Lindsay said during a recent antiwar rally in Washington. "Will America forget about nation building in Iraq -- the same way America forgot about nation building in Afghanistan -- as soon as the Iraqi oil wells are secured?"

Soldiers’ journey halts for protest 182nd transport group heads to training, war From Record-Eagle staff TRAVERSE CITY — The 182nd Transportation Co. got off to a late and emotional start Monday morning after peace activists blocked the 60-vehicle convoy. The National Guard reservists later left amid hugs and tears from loved ones and waving flags of supporters, family, friends and veterans. One of the 14 protesters threw himself under a fuel tanker while the others plopped down in front of the truck about 7:20 a.m. as it stopped at a sign just outside the gate of the Army Reserve Center...

March 18, 2003, 9:00 a.m. Seeing Red Spontaneous anti-American demonstrations? Think again. By Ion Mihai Pacepa Over the March 15-16 weekend there were simultaneous anti-American and pro-peace demonstrations around the world, with the largest in Athens and Moscow. It is significant that the headquarters of the Soviet-created World Peace Council (WPC) is now in Athens, and that its honorary chairman is still the same KGB asset, Romesh Chandra, who chaired this Cold War organization during the years when I was a Communist general. This current bashing of the U.S. makes me believe I am watching a revival of an old...

We would be for the defeat of the U.S. in this war," explained Abram Negrete, the leader of a small group that trekked from the Big Apple to the Washington Monument for this weekend's antiwar protests. "We are for the defense of Iraq. It is in the interests of working people in the United States that the same government which is trying to intimidate and silence them be defeated in this war." According to Negrete, America's plans are much more ambitious than merely deposing Saddam Hussein: "The current plan is to launch a war which is with the explicit intention...

Tracking Down A Fifth Column FrontBy Edward ImmlerFrontPageMagazine.com | September 18, 2002 Vietnam-era anti-war protestors continue their demonstrating today, most recently in San Francisco against a potential Iraq war, but the sponsorship, partnerships, and funding of these groups raise questions about their real purpose. They are very organized, have a significant Internet presence, and actively raise large amounts of money. This all started when I saw the name of a protest group listed in an AP wire story. I wondered a bit about this and tried to find out about this group via the Internet. I found that I could...

Editor, the Tribune: So the University of Missouri has a "peace studies" program, which uses university resources to encourage students to protest against their country and even to skip their taxpayer-funded classes to do it. Is this the same university that constantly whines that the people of Missouri are too miserly in their support for "higher" education? One wonders how many other asinine programs, departments and classes we are funding. Evidently, MU has no respect or appreciation for the sacrifices made by hard-working Missourians on its behalf. But it does explain the large number of anti-American letters to the Tribune...

See part one of series, "Useful Idiots: Marxists Exploit the Appeasement Movement." Part two: 'Hate-America Leftists' Lead the Appeasement Movement. WASHINGTON – NewsMax.com has learned that preliminary inquiries are or soon will be under way on Capitol Hill exploring the possibility of investigating the link between communists and radical Islamic terrorists. Evidence mounts that this coalition orchestrated the recent appeasement demonstrations against President Bush’s policy in Iraq. No decisions have been made on whether such a probe will go forward or what committee would be in charge. But conservatives who have seen documented evidence of that link believe now that...
