		<description>Marc, some clarity please on what you think the political direction of the anti war movement should be.  You call for axing the "left" in the form of sectarians like the CPUSA, which you rather flatteringly credit with 0.01% support.  You also denounce the right wing of the movement in the form of those like Jesse Jackson who want to push it into the equally despicable DP.  I agree.  But what positive ideas do you want to advocate in the space in between?  Should the movement go on with the unrelentingly negative messages we've been flogging since new left times?  Should we instead find something, like some definition of democratic socialism, that  we are in favor of and can openly advocate?  One thing the CPUSA and Jesse Jackson have in common is that they both have clear political programs to push.   What about you?</description>

		<description>Jim R:

Re: my "That's it, I'm outta here" comment. 

I changed my mind.

RLC:

I wasn't referring to you as a wimp. It was directed at the bloggers who expressed a lack of tolerance for the 'free Mumia', CPUSA, Jane Fonda etc. etc presence. I thought your comment about inclusion of transgendered at gay pride rallies needed to be heard.

The fact that the organizers were unable to put thier unrelated special causes on the back burner doesn't negate the importance of tolerance and solidarity among the participants and supporters of the cause. Those who spend so much energy critiqueing yesterday's rally have thier own murky agenda.

For me, it's about getting bodies on the street, with as clear a message as possible, and as much positive MSM attention as possible. According to the NYT, Chi Trib and Wash Post articles I read, the event was successful in all   
the above criteria (and Jane Fonda even got a pretty fair response).

Happily, the MSM's account of the rally was generally more positive than alot of the so-called left pundits...</description>

		<description>Actually, the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC) is NOT a communist sect, but really IS a coalition of almost all the student activist groups that organize on campuses against the war. 

And to rebut your next point in advance: Yes, the Young Communist League is a member, but they don't run the thing by any measure. There's a lot of non-sectarian and really good groups in there, like United Students Against Sweatshops and the United States Student Association. Also, the word "youth" is there because all the groups wanted the coalition to be accessible to young people who aren't necessarily students at the moment. 

Although NYSPC shares some of the flaws of UFPJ, they are generally much better -- at least in part because they aren't interested in reliving their memories of protesting Vietnam like so many UFPJ folks. 

Also, quick question for Mark: of the two union reps who spoke, you chose the one from the AFL-CIO over the one from UNITE-HERE -- any particular reason?</description>

		<description>I just came across a website called &lt;a href="http://www.nyspc.org/" rel="nofollow"&gt;National Youth and Student Peace Conference&lt;/a&gt;. 

This group has to be the creation of some communist sect. No one else uses the world "youth" these days, except communists and the California Youth Authority (prisons).</description>

		<description>Maybe. Maybe not.

But here's today's Hillary sighting. Today she announced that the US should be out of Iraq by the end of Bush's term.

Well . . . I guess it is progress.</description>

		<description>RLC

This brings to mind the basic Marxist principle of use value, exchange value etc.  With protest being literally commodified, it is very hard to discern what is more or less valuable.  Your view of politics as simply influencing the state, not civil society actors or the basic principle of rallying civil society negates the whole idea of participatory politics.  I would be no less vulgar, in a Marxist sense, if I were to negate the same activity in terms of ballots and Move On, etc.  Most Americans don't see an either/or, and I presume quite strongly that the same 70 percent who oppose the war supported and/or were at least GLAD that these Demos took place.</description>

		<description>Gee Big Uncle Jim, I don't know. George W Bush stood in front of the cameras and told us that Saddam Hussein was a meanace to the US and had WMDs when he knew better. But then, lying about a war is insignificant when compared to lying about a blow-job. I mean, what do we tell the kiddies?

		<description>No politicians, please, also keep the focus on the subject. And with the attack on Iran right around the corner, a mention of the build-up to that would be nice. If it WAS mentioned, heard none of that in the two-minute stand-ups I saw here in LA.

Also, so off subject but a needed reminder. Bill Clinton was a perjurer, and Starr?Coulter/Hitchens, regardless of their evil, did not stand up in front of the cameras and say "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinski" . Billy Jeff did, folks.</description>

Mike, the American people never gave their approval to running away from Iraq in disgrace and defeat and deserting the brave Iraqis who voted for democracy, and they didn't vote for a U.S. party that they knew was actively backed by communists and Jane Fonda.  If the Democrats had laid all of their cards on the table, they would still be in a minority.

Marc's seconded remark:  &lt;i&gt;"As to the anti-war movement: right-wingers generally know little about the world. They know even less about liberals and their movements.&lt;/i&gt;

And why should anyone presume from such a remark that whoever agrees with that understands "right-wing" patriotism or the world themselves, and why would such people suggest that conservatives have no contribution to make in the war debate?  Did we suspend the First Amendment?

Maybe conservatives know a lot more about the world and the leftist movement than those isolated on the other side, who dedicate themselves to a socialist movement above their own country?  And, conservatives certainly have a rational thinking process that makes them overall more successful than liberals, who think emotionally and hide within their academic and political clans?

Rather than having fewer and more sane speakers at anti-war demonstrations, I say put all the anti-war leaders on display for the American people to see what they really bought.  For many of the Democratic elected, there is a two-year return policy, and it won't take two years to see that the product doesn't work as originally advertised.</description>

		<description>And to that person who called me a "wimp" for not expecting much. I'll refer you to the lyrics from an old Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Song:

         "Gravestones cheer the living dear their 
           their no use to the dead"

I'm sure everyone there felt real good and militant afterword but so what. I'll take the work I did helping to elect an anti-war congress and wiorking with MOVE-ON in petitioning same was more valuable. Of course that is just an opinion folks.</description>

		<description>Ed I counted at least three "Arab/Arab-American" speakers on that list and one of them was the "Idiot" that John Aravosis of AMERICABLOG saw on C-SPAN talking about the plight of the Palestinians and barely mentioning Iraq. Look speakers come and speakers go and the real problem here was the lack of any ones that could electrify the crowd. But then I can think of only one march that ever had that moment and it was in August of 1963. I'll leave it to the good people here to guess who that speaker was.

I agree that it would have been nice if Jack Murtha or Jim Webb had gone but, given their backgrounds, its very unlikely either would have wanted to attend. Jim Webb and Jane Fonda? Get Real!</description>
