Anti-War Rallies - 10-27-02

Quote:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Demonstrators gathered in Washington on Saturday to protest a possible U.S.-led war on Iraq with anti-war chants, placards and speakers chastising politicians.

In addition, similar rallies were planned and held in San Francisco, California, Chicago, Illinois, and cities in Mexico, Japan, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Belgium and Australia.

The organizers say Congress' Iraq resolution is illegal and U.S. President George W. Bush's threats of a possible war against Iraq do not represent the views of the American people.

Bush has described Iraq as part of an "axis of evil," a growing global threat because -- Bush has said -- Baghdad is developing weapons of mass destruction, biological, nuclear and chemical. Bush has demanded Iraq disarm itself or suffer consequences.

Iraqi officials have repeatedly denied developing or possessing such weapons.

Speakers and participants in the Washington rally were to include former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Georgia; Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of the Archdiocese of Detroit; the Rev. Al Sharpton, actor Ossie Davis and singer Patti Smith.

One spokesman said the rally is a rejection of what Bush pushed on Congress and Congress rubber-stamped.

Dozens of organizations and individuals have endorsed Saturday's march and rally.

Anti-war activists plan an anti-war referendum as well, with signed petitions and votes via computer on the Web site www.votenowar.org. An additional rally is scheduled in Washington in January followed by a "People's Peace Conference" to be attended by representatives of organizations that are backing the anti-war effort.
And this was coordinated with anti-war rallies across the world. Can there ever be a loud enough voice that Bush will listen? A military strike is not the way to go. This calls for covert action. A strike now would not be as simple as Desert Storm was.

The only sound bush hears is the sound of the wind blowing betwen his ears.

As George Bush Senior once saids about global warming 'It is not global warming that is causing problems to our planet, but the toxins in our atmosphere.'

Like father like son....

Didn't making fun of Bush go out of fashion at some point? Isn't that why they cancelled that Comedy Central show?

I thought the show was cancelled because it sucked .

Re: Anti-War Rallies - 10-27-02

I wouldn't go just because of those that are... Sharpton, Jackson, McKinney?

They'll easily be dismissed as crackpots because of those three.

it may have gone out of style to make fun of Bush that doesnt mean hes not a bigotted racist asshole moron whos only where he is because of his money and family connections. I guess the same could be said of CLinton too except that he was clever enough to know when to shut his mouth and say otherwise... thus making him "dirty". Well i mean except for the blatant racism, and crazy ideas when it comes to interracial dating and such and abortion.. but even bush sold out 50% of his voters who voted for him just because they were against abortion.. LOL isnt that some shit. but hey as they said in the debates and in 2000... "Hes got a "Nice" personality" greeeeeeeeat meantime the rest of us are getting fucked while his friends make a fortune in the oil fields.

Okay, moron you might make a case for. There's no way you can consider Bush racist without some wishful thinking, however. Clinton appointed blacks and hispanics to token positions as servants. Bush elevated them to positions of high power, responsibility, and dignity. Colin Powell occupies a higher position in our government than any African American in history.

Must you always make stupid statements that aren't backed by anything, Billy?

LOL assmonger, if i was Bush i would be kissing all the black babies and appointing Tiger Woods to my VP to escape some of the crap hes said about the black community.. heres a test why not go anywhere and ask the black people what they think of Clinton and what they think of Bush. And i havent seen you disprove anyhting thats been said yet, so i guess as for your question... ill swing it back over to you and let you answer 1st.

WHAT that has been said? You haven't named a single way in which Bush is remotely racist. So okay. Do so. Name something Bush said or did that was racist. Anything. Anything at all. I'll wait.

Bush jibe angers black leaders
http://www.guardian.co.uk/bush/story...752357,00.html
Guardian

Relations between the White House and black American leaders slumped to a
new
low yesterday after President Bush gave a dismissive answer when asked why
he
was not addressing the convention of the National Association for the
Advancement of Coloured Peoples, the most respected black pressure group in
the
US.

At his press conference on Monday night, Mr Bush answered: "Let's see. There
I
was sitting around the table with foreign leaders looking at Colin Powell
and
Condi Rice _ " His voice then trailed away, he shook his head and moved on
to
the next question; the implication being that two black people in his inner
circle was a substitute for outreach to the rest of the community...


theres on little one for now lets see what else..
