Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N

[mogster]

What the hells up with all the anti-Cindy bias? Anti-A.N.S.W.E.R?

Is it post-rally woes?

'I don't think Cindy is right for us anymore'.

Jaysus, what does people want? If she didn't deliver Bush' head on a plate this weekend, she's no good anymore, right?

Cindy is a bridge builder, because she doesn't hate the repubs - to the contrary; she embraces thos who've lost theirs and prays with them.

She's 'folksy' and 'down to earth', 'connects with the grass root' and 'calls a spade a spade'. Now who doesn't do that but claims he does? She's a time bomb in Bushes lap and he knows it.

She is very difficult to smear, Cindy. But the attempts are so visible it's almost a joke.

1. Sorry. Where's the line? We'll get back in it..

Where's our uniform? We'll put it on. Is it peace signs and sandals this week? Or was that last week?

Which is more suitable for the cause, a smile or a frown? I can turn the pastie either way, you see.

Okay, citizen. I'm ready. Which direction would you like me to goosestep? In a progressive manner, of course.

God bless democracy. As long as you make sure you're dissenting on the proper side.

But would even Cindy want us genuflecting in her general direction?

2. Whoa..........

Us anti-answer folks are not anti-cindy...... I don't knwo where that is coming from I must have missed that thread.

3. The elephant in the room is...their position on Palestine

A.N.S.W.E.R.'s support of the Right of Return for Palestinian citizens is the main reason for the grumbling. If A.N.S.W.E.R. dropped that single cause there would not have nearly been this much bitching.

Me? Liberty for one, Liberty for all.

4. Add to this

Free Mumia

Cuba Libre

Free Puerto Rico

Colombian War on Drugs

Abu Zayef

Need I go on?

They watered down the message, PERIOD.

5. They didn't water down anything- those are their stated goals.

They watered down the message you wanted the rally to be about- but you didn't pay for the permit, stage, et al., they did. Their dime, their show.

6. No they were not the only show

sorry, and they watered down the message... (nor were they the only ones who paid for permits)

7. Most people showed up in DC for an Anti-War MARCH

Folks got fed up with the delays and went ahead with their main goal - leaving A.N.S.W.E.R. to enjoy it's speakers alone.

A.N.S.W.E.R. can have as many speakers talking about as many issues as they like, but that doesn't mean people have to stay around and listen. At this point, they might want to ask themselves how effective they're being if they can't keep people's attention. Having 30 or so people around at the end (which Limbaugh used as fodder for his show) and being stragglers to their own march is just embarrassing.

8. I haven't seen an "anti-Cindy" thread

If the rally was for our own edification, it was a huge success. I would hope, however, that it would also serve to convince some of those poeple who haven't been concerned about the war to look into the issue and join us.

Unfortunately, the A.N.S.W.E.R. connection has given the loonies ammunition for the other side. The article at http://slate.msn.com/id/2126913/ is being widely circulated and, for those unfamiliar with the author, will get some pretty good mileage.

9. Tha is exactly another argument we have been making

10. Cindy is not A.N.S.W.E.R., they just showed up n/t
