Thousands in U.S., abroad speak out on war - CNN Story
I find this part of the story interesting - there is 1 (one) mention of the supporters in the article:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Thousands of anti-war demonstrators and supporters of the
U.S. policy in Iraq shouted at each other Saturday from opposite sides of a
street bordering the National Mall as protesters formed a march to the Pentagon
to denounce a war entering its fifth year.
The rest of the article if FULLY DEDICATED to the Anti-War protest!
Notice, however, the numbers are conveniently LEFT OUT???? Why is that, I wonder? Hmmm, let's think HARD on this one...wouldn't they WANT to tell you just HOW MANY protested???
You know, I participated in the Counterdemonstration on Saturday. I can tell you what is fact, and what isn't. The fact is, the Counterprotest was outnumbered by only a thousand, and my family & I all agreed the March on the Pentagon probably reached about 5,000.
I can't see why CNN wouldn't want to report that...maybe because it didn't compete with the 1967 & 1971 protests (or any other Vietnam protests for that matter). I guess the Baby Boomer Hippies didn't instill that go-getter activist attitude in their kids. Apathy has reared its ugly head amongst the next generation...unless, of course, you want to "get girls." Ugly ones, from what I could tell...
As per usual, CNN also manages to dig up a "victim" of the Pro-War abusers:
But war protester Susanne Shine of Boone, North Carolina, found herself in a
crowd of counterdemonstrators. She came out in tears, with her sign in shreds.
"They ripped up my peace sign," she said.
My guess? She most likely deliberately walked into the areas designated for the Gatehring of Eagles, which was MUCH SMALLER than what the Anti-War groups got, yet her sign was ripped??? WHAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Let me relay something I CONTINUALLY saw Saturday: numerous Anti-War demonstrators walking into "opposition" or "enemy" territory (as determined by US Park Police) well after demonstrations began, as if the rules DID NOT APPLY to them. Well, of course they don't...not when you're a Socialist.
Question: What do YOU think they would have done had we done that to them???? We'd have been beaten, pushed, spit on...any and all violent actions. MAKE NO MISTAKE HERE, PEOPLE - we are not dealing with "peace" activists.
Let me relay the "peaceful" groups CNN didn't mention in attendance (photos soon to be developed as proof): Communist-Militants, Eco-Militants, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Anarchists, Che Guevera supporters.
Here's a synopsis of their respective missions:
Communist-Militants - Obviously, militants believe in aggressive verbal and physical contact, and this group wants Communism (without having any clue what that entails in reality).
Eco-Militants - Their objective, I gather, is more of an environmental bent...although I don't know why they were even there. Unless, the 0 (ZERO) barrels of oil we steal from Iraq is their problem.
SDS - part of the New Left, which believes in Social Activism (including violent confrontation). This organization was dissolved in 1969, and revived last year...ah, welcome back to the '60's, Folks. One of their first presidents was Tom Hayden. Say No More.
Anarchists - This group is actually the most pathetic. If they truly believe that people can exist without the boudaries of law & government, then why are they scared to show their faces to law-abiding citizens???
Che Guevera - I guess we must be tortured before we can become peaceful? His entrance into the Left as of late has been a bit confusing. How does a Cuban Communist torturer demonstrate the 'peaceful' side of the Left? You know what? It doesn't!
What we fail to recognize, until we see them in person, is the truly violent potential that operates for the Left. They are the foot soldiers for those who believe that we should be like THEM. They represent the hypocrisy of the Left and the 'Peace' Movement...they believe in the works of Lenin, Stalin, and Marx, yet have the nerve to call us Fascists.
FYI: Hitler was a Socialist! Stalin killed more Ukrainians, Lithuanians, et al, per capita than Nazis killed Jews. And Mussolini killed...well, none, because he DIDN'T CARE!!!! Fascists are concerned with various issues that are bad, but Socialists & Communists want you to be like them and will KILL YOU whenever they feel the urge.
Basically, the Left is full of crap...look at any of the photos carefully, and see if you can find the groups I just mentioned. Did my eyes deceive me? Am I utterly incapable of recognizing their flags, slogans, etc.?
Attend a Counterprotest for yourself, see for yourself. You will see what I saw, the truth. That they want you to change your beliefs, ideals, hope...for them to live in their world. I don't know about you, but I aim to misbehave. (thanks, Joss, for the line...)
