Here’s a write-up of the events that were viewed by one journalists at the Washington, DC anti-war demonstration failure. Sent to me by Bulldog who organized the bus trip I went on with Chapter 1 of Rolling Thunder from Smyrna, Tennessee.
A snippet:
Eventually, around 15,000 protestors arrived — appearing to me about the same number as attended the January anti-war rally..This must have been a severe disappointment to A.N.S.W.E.R., which had drawn upwards of 100,000 people to previous protests. The poor turnout at this year’s rallies can largely be attributed to a schism between A.N.S.W.E.R. and the other main anti-war coalition, United for Peace and Justice. The two groups used to sponsor these rallies together, but have recently ceased cooperating.
Their dispute stems from two factors. First, there was some squabbling over the amount of time given to each group’s speakers at past rallies — a surprising bit of selfishness from people who drive cars with bumper stickers proclaiming that everything they need to know they learned in kindergarten. Second, there was a disagreement over the Israel-Palestine issue. Apparently, A.N.S.W.E.R.’s position is that the Jews should be driven into the sea, while UPJ, being slightly more moderate, seeks to convince the Jews through peaceful dialogue to throw themselves in.
Sounds almost exactly like the dumocrats want us to do in Iraq. I’ll take a pass on that strategy.
And Rolling Thunder, Chapter 1 was there.
