David Rovics, supporter of terrorists...

United for Peace and Justice, the lead organizer for a mass march and rally against the Iraq war to be held in Washington, D.C. next month is promoting a music CD that features a song about murdering Halliburton executives.
Released in September, the CD by David Rovics, Halliburton Boardroom Massacre, is being sold online by Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Overstock among other online retailers.
United for Peace and Justice is being given a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the CD.
The title song on the CD is written from the perspective of (an anti-American leftist pretending to be) an American soldier home after war.
...DU was in my blood and I was knocking on death’s door
I can’t tell you how it felt to be betrayed at every turn
Like the earth was spinning backwards, like my heart began to burn
Like I had to do something while I still had the strength to stand
While I still could run with a machine gun in my hand
I thought of Halliburton and the military brass
And the things they get away with all for their ruling class
But I’m not a pawn and I can’t just let it be
And if I’m gonna die, I’m gonna take some of them f***ers with me
I’ll spare you the details, I did what I had to do
There’s a boardroom blown to hell and soon I will be, too
You can say I lost it, you can say that I’m insane
But may no one ever say that my death was in vain
I joined the army when high school was through I didn’t know what else to do
Promotional materials at DavidRovics.com include downloadable posters that feature blurbs from Cindy Sheehan and Amy Goodman touting Rovics.
Sheehan is quoted saying, "David Rovics is the peace poet and troubador for our times."
Amy Goodman's quote is, "David Rovics is the musical version of Democracy Now!"
Sheehan has written about her desire to kill President Bush by going back in time and smothering him as an infant, so it's natural that she would endorse a fellow leftist's murderous diatribe.
United for Peace and Justice endorsed the killing of Iraqis and Americans in a statement issued by the World Tribunal on Iraq in June, 2005 that supported the insurgency in Iraq:
It is the occupation and its brutality that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.
United for Peace and Justice was created in 2002 as a project of Global Exchange, an outfit led by Marxist Castro groupie Medea Benjamin, in tandem with a sister organization Code Pink . Leslie Cagan, a communist relic from the Sixties, leads United for Peace and Justice. Code Pink's Gael Murphy is a leader of both Global Exchange founded groups.
The groups are leading a major rally and march on Saturday, January 27, 2007, in Washington, D.C. to call for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. and coalition forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.
A sticker on Halliburton Boardroom Massacre says"End All Wars! Support www.unitedforpeace.org"
Viola Plummer ping..
Makes about as much sense as someone claiming it's wrong to say Islam is violent because saying it will cause violence as people riot to kill you for saying Islam is not a religion of peace.
She was a blood thirsty murdering Marxist back then and she's still a blood thirsty murdering Marxist now.
" I joined the army when high school was through I didn’t know what else to do"
yep....this is the punch-line kerry forgot to add to his "joke"
...but I guess....
Murdering For Peace...is?
Wow amazing how this group forgot to slaughter Haliburton when Bill Clinton used them to clean up the Balkans... hmmm
Perhaps it's time for a FReep on Jan. 27???
What a laugh. Mr. Rovics is a pawn par excellence.
Yeah, Democratic Underground will kill you if you read enough of it.
Yes it is. Working on it now. Should be able to announce something this week.
Give that Freeper a kewpie doll!
Commie morons and braindead, college "students" should Google "09-11-01" for more information.
Did that b!tch ever spend time in prison? If not, why not? I've said it before, that Sheehan hag needs to be in a locked rubber room, this time she's calling someone who writes a song glorifying mass murder a "peace poet"? Oy vay...
VERY profound! Well said!
Democratic Underground is full of fascist haters. No surprise the spawn of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold would be a cult hero there.
Look up Cagan at www.discoverthenetwork.com
Now THAT's war-mongering. :-)

Yet she's a "peace activist". The reporters of the mainstream media say so. ROFLMAO at "reporters".
this stuff makes me ill
Chancellor Merrymount my old Mentor at Harding, would have said Very little about a Song like this, but he would have Termed it a Joke. In every Sense, but Something that (in his Words) "Fooles And Busybodies" would waste there Time on.
You ever notice that some people can't make eye contact, even when they smile? The eyes being the window of the soul and all that....
Thank you Amerika again for electing these pukes to run our Republic. Thank you very much. Hopefully, your actions and in-actions will not put us all in our graves.
No surprises here - all socialist movements are death cults.
They had no problems with KBR during LBJ's Vietnam. But then again 'United for Peace and Justice' is just another commie front group, just like Code Pink and ANSWER.
The number one body language clue that someone is lying is that they smile.
Wanna bet? I worked for them then and got constant earfuls about the tiger cages.
Thank you for correcting me.
"Peace poet" huh???
Peace on terrorists, WAR on capitalism!!
I do hope that you've turned this information over to the FBI and DOJ.
He needs a good punch in the face. "We are all Palestinians" - not me hippie.
Sorry - guess that sounded kind of abrupt. No problem at all - just touchy about moonbats and anything threatening to Halliburton or Brown & Root.
This whole thread topic made me sick at my stomach.
Just goes to show there is nothing peaceful-loving about these kooks.
I love his shirt...maybe he would like to spend a glorious 2 week vacation in the Gaza strip right now...
No nasty Americans or Jews in there....he will be entertained nightly and daily with all of the "massacre" he would like.
How classy.
That looks like a woman who is undergoing 'sex reassignment'
Why are the leftists so unattractive, women or the men?
This guy can't even get his beard figured out,,,it starts to grow around his neck and down to his chest, up the side of his cheeks and then WHAMMO !! there is a bizzare mustache and goatee..but not really????
Oh, the subject of Brown & Root, you mean! I thought you were linking to something on this "murder the Halliburton board of directors" crap and saying Wiki was fair and balanced about it, lol.
Yes, it's pretty amazing, but it's also obvious they don't have any moonbats old enough to know anything about the company to criticize and that's fine!
I do hope they do a reversal and have a spinoff eventually, because B&R was much bigger than Halliburton when they bought them, way back when. It was always a case of the tail wagging the dog - in the real sense, not the "other" one.
I'm behind both companies 100% and was a Dresser person, too. You'll note what's most unique about them within the first few paragraphs.
This is way over the line of decency. A very sick individual.
The far left is being hypocritical in this case because they were silent when "Hally" went to Kosovo for Clinton. The media never questioned any of that spending.
These Leftist peace-lovers care for you so much that, if you disagree with them, they have to kill you. Sounds eerily familiar.
