Okay, get "knickers in knot" over ANSWER/UNITED FOR PEACE! Rail Against
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 06:15 PM by KoKo01
Screamers! Get upset that ANSWER/UNITED FOR PEACE gets all the permits and gets through the red tape to get those permits so we can get on our busses and show up in Washington!

Yes, tune it out! Get upset that screaming folks about, "Globilization, Free Mumia, and FREE the OPPRESSED have some $$$'
s backing them as opposed to "Mellon-Scaife" who funded Ken Starr!

Get all "out of whack" that you have to listen to folks with "small grievances" scream and shout 'til your ears shut off or your sensibilities tune out from their "rhetoric" that "isn't what you wanted to hear!"

Yeah! Get "whaked out" that those folks who "SPONSORED AND GOT PERMITS" for this "LATEST MARCH ON WASH...."are sort of freaky fringe folks.....Hey I had a problem "Queers for Peace" seemed kind of weird.......and maybe those folks in "middle America" will get turned off by some of these folks.

But........unless we want to BITE and KNAW the "HAND THAT GIVES US A MEGAPHONE!" then we better start to appreciate those folks at "Socialist Leaning"...ANSWER......and United for Peace.....because until we "get our ACT TOGETHER.....they are ALL....we've got....and they've given us a voice we WOULD NOT have had.....because of their ORGANIZING SKILLS!

So to Sgr-2.......! TAKE A HIKE! (I understand your point about the "screamers"...and I had some reservations way back with the first protests in Washinton and elsewhere, but you need to understand, "nothing comes without a price!" These folks are "INDLUDING US!" And, it's "symbiotic!"

6. Well, if my post is that obscure....then it is a "screed"..you should have
ignored. But, I assume you read Sgr-2's post and his/her annoyance over the "Screamers" at the Anti-War/IRAQ protest on the Washington Mall and California and elsewhere......so if you didn't read that.....how would you know what I was talking about? ROFL!

8. Not ungrateful for their efforts, but I don't think you should ridicule
feedback either. I think the feedback is important. Maybe a little ill-timed, what with the protesters still "high" from the rally, but still important to hear. Honest opinions were given that the organization just doesn't seem to fully concentrate the message. Assessment has to take place before change. :shrug:
