Basically they're the catch-all organization for every single ridiculously left wing group out there. They ran those huge rallies in DC in '02 and had the worst speakers on the planet (besides jesse jackson and chumbawamba. they were good).

It was all "free mumia! free leonard peltier! free the west memphis three! fight racism! and by the way, no blood for oil." Also, the woman who was doing the call and response chanting had a ridiculously shrill voice and no rhythm. I'll tell you more later, I've got to work on some shit right now.

Basically ANSWER thinks that if they have a little rally and they hold a few signs and do the same chants that have been around since Seattle, that they're really doing something. And the leader of ANSWER, Ramsey Clarke is the lawyer for Slobodan Milosevic, which I hope you don't need to be schooled on why this is fucked up.www.counter-inaugural.org

I was under the impression that Milosovic was defending himself, at least at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (the UN court where he's being tried).

I gotta keep a lo-pro cause I'm in the military. But hey egg all you want. I'm just not going to do it. I'm just going to try to make sure we don't get our asses stomped.
I'll tell yall where I'm at in PM. Well symbols knows sorta. I got a car, I can provide transportation if needed. But parking in DC is a mofo so we will probably have to park outside DC somewheres and take the metro in.

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition formed on September 14, 2001. It is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and prominent individuals and scores of organizing centers in cities and towns across the country. Its national steering committee represents major national organizations that have campaigned against U.S. intervention in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia, and organizations that have campaigned for civil rights and for social and economic justice for working and poor people inside the United States.

Face it, you guys lost, fair and square and you cant pull out of iraq, so just accept it. stop crying like a kid in a playground when the recess bell rings and he doesnt want to go in, and deal with it. there is a lot more importnat things in life than Bush.

are you fucking kidding me? protestors are crybabies? you might not be a republican, but you sound like a typical jock asshole. trying to emasculate dissent is a cheap shot.

no one has to admit he won it fair and square. countless documented instances of intimidation at the polls, inadequate numbers of voting machines, voting machines without paper trails, etc..., not to mention the undeniable theivery of the first election that should negate his second term entirely.

of course we can't just pull out of iraq, and no one is implying differently. however, a plan for the transfer of control and subsequent removal of american troops in the next two years is far from asking too much.

yes. there are much more important things in life than bush.

mainly my dick in your mouth.

I would not recommend instigating confrontation with the police. It's pretty much pointless. Mostly this is a misunderstanding of sides. From what I've observed from analyzing establishment types from the inside is that most of these people have no clue what we really mean and talk about. It really is a big misunderstanding. They believe something, we believe another. All of this could be cleared up if there were no longer people pumping out propaganda and it was made sure all lies were destroyed and if there were any meaningful debate in the media. Besides shit like "He didn't have a plan for the peace" What the fuck does that really mean. I mean Bush could be made to shrink smaller and smaller and smaller in a debate until he disappears if there was the time and conviction of people to do it.
I try to explain people this but I really don't think it will happen unless their leaders are discredited. Because, believe it or not, there are people who actually still believe bush.
Besides confrontation will only discredit our image as well. I'm sure Bush is looking for reasons to round us liberals all up like jews in a gas chamber. Not only that but there is an article in the new issue of eye spy that claims of terrorist operatives trying to infiltrate the anti-war movement to attack government sites.
What would happen if there was an assassination attempt on the president on inauguration day (even if it is staged?)? More than likely it will be an excuse to strip more individual rights, consolidate more power, and further attack and ostracize his political enemies under the dubious veil of security.
More shortly.
