1. Typical for Faux...
Focus on counter-demonstrations. When you must focus on the demonstration, pick the most far-left people you can find. :eyes:

2. Well, I hate to say it...but they're right.
Problem is that's ALL they're focused on, when the march wasn't about A.N.S.W.E.R., North Korea, OR Fidel Castro.

Gahd, I cannot STAND Faux Snooze.

6. Rest assured
that the rw tactics are to talk only about the extremists and to paint everyone as being the same. And if they can't find any facts to back up their charges, they will lie. This is an old rw trick that has been used again and again, partly to keep the sheeple in the pasture, but also to get the activists arguing amongst themselves.

5. What does "support" mean?
That ANSWER thinks we shouldn't nuke 'em?

If that is the case - then I "support" them also.

7. Everyone in ANSWER doesnt think
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 05:55 PM by BayCityProgressive
the same way. By 'support" they mean ANSWER strongly believes that all nations no matter who they are should determine their own fates which I beleive storngly as well. Also, some ANSWER members support the Cuban government which I also do. If I have to put up with naive Iraq war protestors who think our economics and intenrational policies in all countries but Iraq is okay...then they shouldnt bitch whent they have to ally with people like us. We all have one common goal here. US out of iraq. Lately people here have sounded more like right wing parrots than progressives, it is really dissapointing.

9. Well put, BayCityProgressive.
I won't be too hard on the people that are new to the movement, though, and those are usually the ones that sound like the "right-wing parrots" you mention above.

From experience, I know that a lot of them are used to thinking of things in a certain way, and it takes time to wrap their minds around a new way of thinking (critically and independantly).
