Yet another moonbat convergance
"The World Can't Wait" is planning to surround the White House Saturday. Here's their entire agenda:
11 a.m. rally, 2 p.m. march to White House: 30 foot statue of Bush will be toppled.
In attendance will be:
Kathleen Chalfant, Broadway and TV actress
Ann Wright, former U.S. diplomat and military officer quit in protest of war
Martin Garbus, trial lawyer and author
Doris "Granny D" Haddock, walked across the country for campaign finance reform
Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights
Boots Riley, The Coup (Hip-Hop artist)
Rev. Al Sharpton, long time activist
Thousands of People: taking to the streets and circling the White House
They're also bragging about their moonbat credentials:
World Can't Wait is quickly attracting a surprising and broad range of well-known people in public life including U.S. Congressional Representatives JOHN CONYERS, CYNTHIA MCKINNEY, MAXINE WATERS, BOBBIE RUSH, and MAJOR OWENS, along with HARRY BELAFONTE, LEWIS LAPHAM, MARK RUFFALO, SEAN PENN, SUSAN SARANDON, GLORIA STEINEM, SERJ TANKIAN, CORNEL WEST, HAROLD PINTER, and PAUL HAGGIS. Two full-page ads have appeared in the New York Times and spots are running nationally on Air America radio.
Sean Penn, Harry Belafonte, and John Conyers - no, that's neither surprising nor broad-range. And by the way, attacking a person in effigy was something we were getting used to seeing only in the middle east by seething radical types. Is the downward spiral of the angry left heading in that direction?
Of course, we get the usual spittle-flecked line about their reason for being there from the always angry and unhinged Debra Sweet:
Debra Sweet, national coordinator of World Can't Wait-Drive Out the Bush Regime, states, "Torture, war, the rule of law and separation of church state eviscerated, an extreme rightwing Supreme Court nominee goes essentially unopposed... The hour is late. This whole regime is illegitimate and criminal, and politics as usual have failed to stop it. Bush will not be indicted, impeached, or driven from office without massive, determined, unrelenting protest with the concrete demand that BUSH STEP DOWN. This is what we set out to do."
They're still arguing the 2000 election, and haven't a clue as to how justice works. First thing you have to do, folks, is prove it. Your belief that something is illegal doesn't make it so. Notice they have no "concrete" evidence to accompany their "concrete" demands. For every goal that these loonys have, there is a procedure that works. Instead of sceaming at a silly statue, why not scream at your Democrat officials? There's a reason they haven't tried to impeach Bush, and it has nothing to do with their minority status.
Their reference to Alito is interesting as well. "Essentially unopposed", eh? The Dems did everything they could to smear a well-qualified candidate, the fact that they failed is less due to the lack of opposition from the left and more due to the fact that Sam Alito is the right man for the job, and proved it in the confirmation hearings.
The last paragraph from their press release is disturbing:
On the night of the State of the Union address, at exactly 9 p.m. as Bush stepped to the podium, there were World Can't Wait rallies to "drown-out Bush's lies" in over 60 U.S. cities, including Greensboro, N.C., where 7 protesters were arrested, and in Iraq where several U.S. soldiers shot rounds of artillery into the air at 9 p.m. EST to drown out Bush.
Shooting rounds of artillery into the air, with no specific target in mind, is a big no-no. I sincerely hope that someone will look into that claim. The politics of the shooter is irrelevant - artillery is not meant to be an instrument for an individual making a political statement. I would like to discount the claim as ficticious - However, if someone really did fire rounds for the sole purpose of protesting his/her own chain of command, it violated a variety of laws and regulations in addition to subjecting both civilian and military personnel and assets to a very unecessary risk.
