For those of you promoting the agenda of NOT supporting Harriet Miers, take a look at where you are siding.

Not in Our Name project.

They are SDS/Weatherman.

From FBI Files:

Weatherman or Weather Underground Organization, is a "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society or SDS. They were originally called the Revolutionary Youth Movement. They advocated the overthrow of our government and capitalism. They carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in 1969-1976.

The group derived their name from Bob Dylan's song lyrics from "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which were, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", I use to see that quote at the bottom of their periodical, New Left Notes, when I use to work at a periodical distribution company.

Their first event, in 1969, was the "Days of Rage" in Chicago. They blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. They announced at a convention that they supported Charles Manson. The rally failed to draw as many participants (300) as they had hoped. They did lead a riot through Chicago's business district, smashing windows and cars. 6 were shot and 70 arrested. The conflict went on for a few days.

1970, after the shooting by police of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a Declaration of War against the United States government, changing its name to the "weather underground organization", adopting fake IDs, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included plans for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix. But when three Underground members died in an accidental explosion while preparing the bomb in a Greenwich Village, New York City safe house, other cells re-evaluated their plans and decided to pursue only non-lethal projects.

This group released a number of manifestos and declarations, while conducting a series of bombings. These attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets. The group took measures to avoid any loss of life as a result of these bombings, issuing warnings to evacuate the building ahead of time via phone. They also took a $25,000 payment from a drugs group called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. They remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI.

In the mid-to-late 1970s, the group began dissolving, as many members turned themselves in to the police, and others moved onto other armed revolutionary groups. Very few served prison sentences, since the evidence gathered against them, by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, was inadmissable in court, due to the illegal methods used to obtain it.

Famous members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, David Gilbert, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.

Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers, now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile "I don't regret setting bombs. I believe we didn't do enough."

If you aren't supporting Harriet Miers, take some time to do a search of BUSHCOMMISSION.ORG. Not a site search. A search to see where info is pulled from:

Make sure if you are not on the side of supporting Miers, it isn't information that came from SDS, Not In Our Name, MoveOn.org, of the NLG.

No, you either meant to silence dissent or you cannot write well.

Well, if PAIC and GLGB agree, I'd say that pretty much wraps it up ;-)

Nope. That is not what I said in the post. If I did say that, don't you think the Mods would have pulled it?

I assumed your post was intended to shame those who are against the Miers nomination. Is that an accurate assessment?

Nope. It is a track back to show where the propaganda has LAUNCHED and has been coming from.

Again, if it was a shame or accusation, the Mods would have pulled it. You have to read the whole post.

But your premise is flawed. Conservatives are not criticizing Miers for the same reasons the as the Left.

Unless you have proof that one of your fellow Freepers is getting their talking points from Bushcomission.org, that is.

Hence the last paragraph of my post.

Yes, see the bullets in my post? That is from the orginal campaign layout from Not In Our Name. That is copied from their plan of action.

If none of what I posted was true, the Mods here at FR would have AT LEAST moved my thread to Chat or the Smokey Backroom if not pulled it altogether.

I tracked back 5 news sources yesterday that led me to this post. This is why my post stayed in Front Page News. They must of looked at my google search URL.

Well, I think this post does it.... the pro-Miers crowd has officially lost the argument. They twist themselves into pretzels finding ways to discredit every last conservative who opposes this joke of a nominee (and that's a long list), while the "trust me" line is the only thing they can come up with as a rationale for putting on the Supreme Court a lady who thinks a strong Constitution is what you get from eating your Wheaties each morning.

Joke's over, George!

Luckily, with the best and brightest of the conservative movement on our side, we don't have to.

Thanks for the advice, though.

Just because....

There were a few very good points made in this thread (which is a bear now) that were made about not supporting Miers. And they points did not come from the anti Miers campaign.

I'm pro Miers and the points were worth taking into advisement.

Then just what IS your point?

The anti-Miers' crowd are the only ones voting in the poll. The majority of Freepers could care less, because they know that regardless of your yelling she is going to be confirmed.

I agree. I am on the side that is loyal to principles and ideals.
You are on the side that is loyal to a man.


You are correct. I am a conservative and pro-lifer, because I am loyal to a man. His name is Jesus Christ, and he is both God and man.

You have no evidence to support your assertion. Reading the comments on Miers points, the majority of posters appear to me to be anti-Miers.

Sure I have evidence to support my position. The first poll was taken over 2 to 3 days, whereas the second has been over a far longer period, and half as many people have voted.

Secondly, I agree a majority of posters do appear to be anti-Miers, but I also know numerous pro-Miers posters have melted into the background. They know Miers is going to be confirmed, and are fed up with the DU scream loudest mentality. They scream like my first wife, and I gave up talking to brick walls over 20 years ago.

You don't have to be a Papist to get upset about heretics you know.

However, NRO was too quick off the starting blocks in opposing Miers for anyone's comfort.

I think, though, the first time I saw "drinking koolaid" associated with this story was when I realized there was religious bigotry involved. If you have no idea what the background connections are between her church membership and that phrase, I don't have enough time to explain it, but you can look up Reverend Jim Jones for a start.

Oh, come on...you know that 'bots are accused of drinking Kool-Aid on a regular basis, on various issues.

Not within minutes of the start of an issue, and most certainly all the charges don't come from a single quarter.

I'd suggest that as a show of good faith you guys give up "drinking koolaid" as any sort of meaningful phrase.

I can't give it up, since it's not a phrase that I use.
