NYT: F.B.I. Scrutinizes Antiwar Rallies

[VOA]

Some one needs to ask the ACLU why they are more concerned with the rights of
terrorists then they are of American lives

1. Because they are lefties.
2. They've found they can make a good living doing destructive work.

Bump #14.

Brilliant!

[buffyt]

To all PEACEFUL PROTESTORS and "PACISIFISTS" (ANARCHISTS and MARXISTS) Break the law and go to jail.

Don't do the crime,
If you can't do the time!

[buffyt]

Excellent comment!

[buffyt]

You are RIGHT! At the Davis-Simon debate last year in LA, I was there with RonDog, Jessamine, Outraged, and some other Freepers. We all came in our own cars, etc. The UNION THUGS were there, bussed in by Gray Davis, they had on matching silk screened shirts, they had matching silk screend signs, they had matching alcohol on their breath. Bunch of drunks! And they would rough up a woman just as quickly as they would rough up a man. EVERYONE was complaining about them, even the media. They were so loud, rude, obnoxious....

"according to interviews and a confidential bureau memorandum. The memorandum, which the bureau sent to local law enforcement agencies last month..."

Well, well, well. The NY Times will print confidential memos after all (at least, they will if the Memo is from the right rather than the left)...

Thanks for the comments Buffyt.

"What the F.B.I. regards as potential terrorism," Mr. Romero of the A.C.L.U. said, "strikes me as civil disobedience."

The right of the people to peaceably assemble is basic. But considering that a lot of the people who were to assemble in London the other day (anyone have any info on how many actually showed up? I missed that.) included a bunch of Islamists and their supporters, I don't think the FBI is out of line... as long as they stick to investigating those who advocate violence.

Related thread.

[William McKinley]

Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. "The line between ism and legitimate civil disobedience is blurred

No, that line is not blurred. Not even close. It is a sign of a demented mind to think that line is blurred.

[Maigrey]

The rats and communists will be the first ones to scream when some terrorist releases a bomb in their midst, screaming that the government should have done something to protect them.

[jmt576]

It's about time somebody takes interest in these "anti-war" traitors. How long until somebody accuses the FReepers of being an information collection tool of the FBI?

[FreedomPoster]

>>Or the arabs that wore all black uniforms , very much like Hamas does.

The last DC protest prominently featured folks wearing Hamas green and Pali black-and-white checked khafeyahs.

There was a stash of molotovs found in a bush in one of the San Francisco protests, in an area where they were cordoning and arresting protestors for illegally blocking right-of-ways.

These people are not our friends, and are not about reasoned discourse and lawful protest and speech.

[FreedomPoster]

I'm glad you saved a hi-res version of that, all I had up to now was a small one. I just scarfed a copy of yours. My small one still had a readable sign, though. I threw it in the face of some lefties the other day.

You don't happen to have a screen shot of the indymedia.org page that was proudly displaying it, do you? I kick myself for not saving it off to my hard drive.

[Little Bill]

We or at least I have.

No I don't have that one . sorry :0(

Critics said they remained worried. "What the F.B.I. regards as potential terrorism," Mr. Romero of the A.C.L.U. said, "strikes me as civil disobedience."

Too bad. The ACLU types are just going to have to lump it. If anyone wants to be civilly disobedient then they have to accept the consequences of their actions, even if we were not at war for the very survival of our nation.

Well, thank God for that!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, well, well. The NY Times will print confidential memos after all (at least, they will if the Memo is from the right rather than the left)...

BUMP!
