Imagine you are standing in a sweltering hot subway car next to a man who badly needs to take some Gas-X. The people around you begin to crowd closer and closer, morphing into hormone deprived menopausal women with Turret’s Syndrome. Satan pops up and says, “Welcome to the ride from hell” and sucks the light and oxygen out of the car. That is what it was like standing on the curb across the street from the Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond yesterday. Our Vice President gave a speech at a $1,000 a plate Republican Fundraiser. The Left responded with a...

The "Don't touch Saddam" lobby has transformed into a hunting party to chase British Prime Minister Tony Blair out of office. The claim is that Blair (and President Bush) "lied" about the reasons for the war against Saddam. A few months before the war, Blair published a dossier on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction (WMD). At the time, some of us realized that the dossier contained many flaws. But that didn't mean that there was no justification for going to war against Saddam. His WMD program was only one of many issues between Saddam and the United Nations. From August...

Tony Murphy, Workers’ World Party 15-05-2002 Sisters and Brothers: In any political forum anywhere in the world, the question more and more is: What about the United States? What is the economic and political trend? After September 11, the question weighs heavily, with so much war and destruction againt the world's people, emanating from the Pentagon and Wall Street: What is going on in the United States? Are the people really supporting the war? Are they going to finally act against their government's wars? Many statistics abound on the state of the U.S. economy, on numbers of unemployed, the cost...

The Muslim American Society and International A.N.S.W.E.R. organized a rally in Washington, D.C. today “to protest (the) Bush attack on Muslims, immigrants, civil rights and civil liberties.” The event, called Muslim Solidarity Day, was held at Freedom Plaza on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Justice Department--the main targets of the protesters wrath. Though thousands were expected to turn out, barely two hundred and fifty Muslims and Godless commies came out to hear speaker after speaker denounce President Bush, Attorney General John Ashcroft, America and Israel. The Memorial Day weekend weather was cool and overcast, but dry. The...

I was just speaking with Kristinn. He and tgsltakoma went to Freedom Plaza to observe the left wing anti-war rally, especially to see if Al Sharpon and some other invited Democrats would speak. Well first thing that happened was a not so veiled threat from Brian Becker of the Workers World Party against tgsltakoma. From the stage he pointed her out, called her a government agent and a "cock roach". Then he said, You know what you can do about a coack roach, you can ignore it or do something else." Even the National Lawyer's Guild volunteers in the green...

September 29By Gerry DalyPublished September 26, 2001In any social movement there is a vanguard and a mass. On one side, the vanguard, are groups of people who are more resolute and committed, better organized and able to take a leading role in the struggle, and on the other side, the mass, are larger numbers of people who participate in the struggle or are involved simply by their social position, but are less committed or well-placed in relation to the struggle, and will participate only in the decisive moments, which in fact change history. The Marxist theory of the vanguard, in ...

You’ve got to admire the tenacity of leftists. The same people who were colossally wrong about the war on terror (in both Afghanistan and Iraq); who clamored for America to sheathe its sword when America itself was under attack; who defamed America and its supporters as enemies of freedom even after the wars that led to liberation - these same people, now that history has thoroughly embarrassed them and refuted their claims, are … on the attack! They have not taken a moment to reflect on their treacherous antics, which would have kept the Iraqi oppressors in power and anti-American...

(CNSNews.com) - The drafters of the U.S. Constitution would be "nauseated" by the "shock and awe" strategy used by the American military in the opening stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to former U.S. Attorney General and current anti-war activist Ramsey Clark. Clark, who directs International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), spoke to journalists and others at the National Press Club in Washington Monday. "Do we really believe a phrase like that?" Clark asked the press club audience. "Do we really want people to submit to shock and awe?" International A.N.S.W.E.R. has been criticized by some...

Stirring a CauseWhen Things Get Rough for Protesters, These Lawyers Go on the March By David MontgomeryWashington Post Staff WriterMonday, May 12, 2003; Page C01 [snippage] She rushes up to a lieutenant in charge: "Your cops are clubbing people!"Law school won't prepare you for a workout like this, but it's all in a day's work for a movement lawyer like Mara Verheyden-Hilliard. She and her law partner and husband, Carl Messineo, have become the constitutional sheriffs for a new protest generation. Still in their thirties, they're outpacing established free-speech watchdogs in this "I have a dream" capital of marches, crusades,...

Today at noon, FReepers of the DC Chapter converged to the front of the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Traitor, friend of anti-American dictators everywhere, founder of Communist-front International Action Center (IAC), former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark spewed his usual slanders against our great and good country and its great and good military and President. Clark had previously spoken these lies at numerous of the antiwar protests organized by IAC-offshoot Communist-front International Action Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER). Free Republic’s DC Chapter has repeatedly opposed ANSWER beginning shortly after September 11, 2001 when they opposed...

WASHINGTON -- The cry of "McCarthyism" has weakened America before her enemies. While a group called international A.N.S.W.E.R has organized (sometimes violent) appeasement protests throughout the nation leading up to and during the war in Iraq, there is no established committee in Congress assigned to investigate this group. Such a probe would not abridge anyone’s freedom of speech, but would determine if enemy forces are trying influence U.S. policy. There is no committee to follow up on documentation by hard-leftist-turned-conservative activist David Horowitz that ANSWER is "a front for the Communist Workers World Party with tentacles stretching around the globe."...

Time: 12:30 PM Event Type: NPC Luncheon Event Name: Ramsey Clark Sponsored by: NPC Event Location: Ballroom Details: Washington, April 30-- “U.S. Militarism Threatens the Destiny of Humanity” is the title of an address by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark which is scheduled to be delivered to a National Press Club luncheon on Monday May 12. Mr. Clark, Attorney General in the administration of Viet Nam War President Lyndon Johnson, is expected to argue that U.S. threats and use of devastating force against Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries has created “unprecedented fear and hostility towards the U.S.” Now a...

The ACLU is charging that there is a return to the aggressive prosecution of protesters not unlike the days of Vietnam and the Civil Rights struggle. But others see it as a group of throwbacks that refuse to look at the facts and embrace the complexities of a very different world with very different dangers. The American Civil Liberties Union says there are many examples, like an increase in arrests, the questioning of protesters and the shunning of celebrities who have opposed the war in Iraq. But in this day where the true voice of the majority has expressed its...

Israel-bashing figures prominently in 'teach-ins' where San Franciscans seek a flavor of the Vietnam era Let's admit it - San Francisco is gorgeous, and deserves its name as the capital of resistance to what the US is trying to do in the Middle East. After all, while other places from coast to coast had rallies and marches before and during Operation Iraqi Freedom, only there were thousands "hauled off by the pigs" for blocking the financial district, and only there was there a rally and march almost every Saturday for weeks and weeks until Saturday, April 19. But were all...

The pudgy, balding man openly waved his protest sign - "Hands off Iraq - No Blood For Zionism!" Below that bit of anti-Semitism, he'd printed the web address of the National Alliance - the openly neo-Nazi, white-supremacist organization founded by William Pierce. That's right, William Pierce, the author of the Turner Diaries, a novel depicting a post-apocalyptic race war against blacks and Jews. The novel that inspired the Oklahoma City bombing, that killed one hundred and sixty eight people. In most situations, the very presence of such a bigot would draw a crowd of counter-protestors. On Friday, May 2nd, I...
