Democrat Conyers to Protesters: Impeach Bush
By Jeff Gannon
GOPUSA News
March 17, 2003

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- On Saturday, thousands of protesters once again gathered in the shadow of the Washington Monument to hear speeches against war in Iraq as well as to express support for Palestine and demand universal health care. The rally was sponsored by the leftist organization, A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).

Speakers from several other groups, including the Free Palestine Alliance, National Committee to Free the Cuba Five, and Queers for Peace and Justice took to the stage during the two-hour rally. There were calls for civil disobedience to begin Monday.

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) addressed the crowd and urged them to "vote to impeach George W. Bush." Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, founder of International Action Center, also called for impeachment, saying that the Bush administration is "committing the worst crimes known to humanity."

After the speeches, the protesters filled the streets to march around the White House. Marchers were kept at least a block from the executive residence by barriers and mounted police. Marchers made their way in a circular route back to the National Mall, but not before passing in front of a small group of loud pro-America counter-demonstrators from the Free Republic. They waved American and Marine Corps flags and shouted slogans such as "Swim to Cuba" and "War Freed the Slaves."

Congressman Steve King (R-IA) watched the march from Pershing Park and remarked that the protesters' message was "anti-American" and "anti-Bush." He observed that the flags carried by the marchers were those of Palestine, the United Nations, and even one of Japanese Revolutionary Communist League. More than one Gay and Lesbian rainbow flag was seen among the rally participants.

King noted that the only American flags in the march were desecrated in one way or another, some with the 60s peace symbol in the blue section usually filled with stars representing the 50 states. One flag had corporate logos instead of the stars. The Iowa congressman also noticed that the supposed cross-section of Americans that opposed the war were conspicuously absent.

When asked by GOPUSA News to comment on Conyers' call for the impeachment of President Bush, King said, "Where was Conyers when we had a president who deserved to be impeached?"

Jay Nordlinger (National Review) said:
Democrats want to impeach presidents for acting like a president. Republicans impeach them for not acting like a president.

GOPUSA news is published by the Washington Times that also owns UPI. It may not be "Mainstream" but in DC it does get read by a lot of people of influence.

>>Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders is among the traitors who said she will cheer for Iraqi victories against American troops.

Did she actually say that?

Along those lines, yes.

Hynde rages and rules at Warfield (traitor gag and puke alert)

"Have we gone to war yet?" she asked sarcastically, early on. "We (expletive) deserve to get bombed. Bring it on." Later she yelled, "Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!"

When a crowd member responded to that inflammatory statement, Hynde stormed the mic, roaring, "Shut your face!" Glaring, she held out the mic toward the fan as longtime drummer Martin Chambers stood up behind her, ready to rumble. "You come up to the mic and say something, smart guy," she snarled. "What do you want to talk about?"

Also mentioned here:

...opined that she hopes the United States loses if it goes to war with Iraq ("Bring it on! Give us what we deserve!")
(both from SF Chronicle)

ROCKER HYNDE ROOTS FOR WEST'S LOSS AGAINST IRAQ: 'GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE!'...

Ok..Heres the scoop on Conyers. BTW I am from Michigan.


No offence to Any African American freepers...

John Conyers is in a district that is probably 90% Black. He goes nearly unchalenged election after election. Because of this he is able to take on fearless left wing politics. Basically anything he says, he can without any retribution. All Conyers does is start talking about afirmative action a few weeks before the election and he wins by a 95% margin.

Dont take anything he has said as a serious talking point. He is a halfwit worthless humanbeing(barely).

I've heard from leftists who are say they are disgusted to see the American flag (not how it is used, just seeing it period). I have heard from leftists who said that they want to see the members of this administration dead; not by any stated action, just dead. They should realize that their statements put them to a farther extreme than those "extreme right wingers" that disliked JFK in the 1960s. They ARE anti-American.

The Leftists are nicely separating themselves from the Liberals. The more disgusting they become, the more some Liberals will review their own positions. Because they will be going - "I'm not like those a--holes!"

I have news for Mr. Conyers. I want to educate the communists on the streets that I have it on very good notice that the Democrats, that is the official Democratic Party representatives, support the President 100 percent. So, on this measure, the nation is united. And over 70 percent support this war, the other 25 percent believe that something must be done, and the remaining 5 percent are the communists and the publicity brats who want our death. This time, when the first Americans die in Iraq, and the Clinton News Network shoves the “anti-war” protestors in our face, there is going to be a different reaction to these communists and the publicity brats in the streets. I know it, we know it – we can feel it. Something different is going to happen this time. But, before I mention what is going to happen this time, I want to add that the cheerleaders of the 5 percent are CNN and the ABC radio news on the hour, and the truly stupid such as Conyers and the Dixie Chicks, et all. I will mention what is going to happen to them by chance as well, which might be of a surprise to them.

But before I have a discussion about that, I want to say, that when they handed the letter to Tariq Aziz, he could not hold the letter. Because his hands were shaking so badly, and his knees were buckling. Did you know that? The letter said, Saddam and his sons have 48 hours to leave Iraq. Of course, Mr. Aziz wanted to be rather philosophical about it all. He believes that everything should be “proper”. I think Mr. Aziz may not have very long to live in Saddam’s regime, perhaps he may survive the war and move to France, I don’t know - but I think not. He has to give Mr. Hussein some bad news, but being that Saddam already knows the bad news Mr. Aziz isn’t going to deliver that letter – never – because, you know, Saddam may put some lead in his belly or something. He probably doesn’t know that his best friend right now may be George Bush.

So, he was very philosophical about it all, and he told the U.S. State Department that this letter isn’t “proper”. You know, the whole thing about 911, about this “kill the Jews, death to America” thing, is that, ever since that day in September, when the Left and the Palestinians danced in the streets at the death of Americans, there was a certain prevailing element in American society that, well, just sort of stopped all the philosophy stuff. The one thing we talk about really isn’t a “conversation”, it is not a lecture. It is not a philosophy.

Because, maybe there are too many philosophies in the world. There are already too many theories in the world. There is sort of a disadvantage if you have three people, three conflicting ideas, especially if a particular loud mouth is all about “feelings”, and inner experiences don’t count anymore – this is when philosophy is simply propaganda, simply repetitive motion. That is what liberalism is today, in large measure. The reason the left and Islamic terrorists are allies, is because, besides sharing their hatred of America, hatred of us and our freedom from them and their dogmas, hatred of us because we are too busy for their propaganda, too free to live their repetitive motion, is that – well, you notice that the left, and Islamic terrorism, really went berserker in the summer of 1968, about the time of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and thereabouts. It has to do with landing on the moon. The left, and Islam – they hate us. Because, we landed on the moon. Understand? We touched the moon, and the foot that did so, was America. Islam could never take that. Because, it is such a threat. Such a threat to their primitive minds, to their philosophy, their propaganda, their repetitive motions. Same with the liberals and the left. They hate us for that reason.

We went to Afghanistan, and prevailed. You see, that is the same, the SAME as landing on the moon. When we went to Afghanistan, it was sort of like landing on the moon all over again. No one else has ever prevailed in this. We did. And now, we are going to go to Iraq, and yes, as reasonable people, we perfectly understand that all nations come and go, they have their sun rise and sun set, like the British Empire for example. So, we live with that reality. The thing is, after we go to Iraq, this is not our sun rise – nor is it our sun set. This is the start of our greatest sun – our Empire is going to begin, and many, many Americans are going to live very good lives. You may not believe that. But, it is so. Our Empire is now coming. It sounds strange, but our riches, our empire, comes through the liberation of others. Through their liberation, a dynamic is going to happen in the world economy, and peoples. It will enrich our children, beyond your wildest imaginations. Anyway, I like to use the word “EMPIRE”, because it really drives the left wing freaks and the Islamic kooks nuts. You will be told it is evil. But, as folks water their nice gardens, they will be too happy to bother with the idiots who shout a bunch of philosophy, they are the dust bins of history – at least for now, it is our time in the sun before it sets. Iraq will be rebuilt. Do you know, that some of the companies, corporations, that will rebuild Iraq, they will be Israeli companies? That is right. The worm is going to turn.

As far as the philosophies are concerned, maybe the philosophers, the “professors”, better understand that a bird, for example, needs both the nest and the sky if it is to attain some kind of self-fulfillment. That is what we are going to give to the Iraqi people. That is what we are going to ensure for our children, who will become very rich by the way. But that is only consequential, but not elementary, to the renaissance that is about to begin. Oh, by the way, communism will be dead. It is already a dinosaur. Fidel and his son’s have a big surprise coming.

The Chinese are going to try to get a man on the moon very soon. It’s important to them. But, they will always be second place. Not first. We are first. All the rest are second. What it meant, when we put a man on the moon, was that the next century is ours. We didn’t want to get into this thing with the Islamic kooks, but they wanted to get our attention, and hey, they sure did that. Too bad for them. As for the Left, they were already dead after the Soviet Union fell. These leftists are even more of dinosaurs than the Islamic kooks. At least the Islamic kooks have real philosophy, which is quite beautiful in it’s own. The Left’s philosophy, it not only is not beautiful in the least – simply plastic, without soul – well, it just sucks. Socialism sucks. Ironic, Socialism is a Western thing. Communism, which basically only lives as a controlling force in selected areas of the East, it’s a Western thing. Communism is Western. So even considering that, in one way, the West through communism conquered China. But, it doesn’t have much longer to be a factor, even in China. The Chinese people are going to overthrow this idiotic, Western, dinosaur.

There is none in the world who is not blamed. Especially if you get your face on television, or have a nice living. And since, given any time a moment, every single American that is soon to live will have their face on television (or the internet, if you will), every single American is now destined to become a celebrity for a moment. Every single American will have a moment to actually make an impact. In fact, every single American is going to have a moment to shape the direction of one historical moment, shadow, turn of the screw – our power is immense. That is why every single American is going to be blamed. Blamed for something. But who cares. The world is our oyster. By the way, it’s for every single American. Not hyphenated American. So some folks will have to make up their mind what they are.

We will be able to do this – we will be able to adopt our President’s formula, and hand the Muslims a fountain-pen, and let them write out their demands. And then, we will be able to buy whatever they demand, even if it is only an illusion to them and we know the better for it.

By the way, when the creeps take to the streets, when Americans are dead in Iraq, we are going to go into the streets. It will be sort of a surprise for them. We are going to really give them a very, very hard time. They won’t like it. And, all the folks which were hurt by the creeps such as Saddam Hussein, hurt by the Islamic kooks, hurt by the Left – we are going to tell these people, “look, there is a CNN reporter guy . . . the ABC radio news on the hour girl ... they’re over there with their cameras and microphone. They’re the one’s who were the cheerleaders for those who hurt you, see here is the paperwork to prove it. That is what they did. You little daughter was kidnapped, tortured, your relative persecuted, murdered, put in concentration camps – by the people who that CNN reporter and the ABC radio news girl were cheerleaders for. Maybe you might want to go over and discuss it with them.”

And that is what they will do. They will go over and discuss it with them. Something like that. Wouldn’t want to be them.

Oh, one last thing. I’m a Nixon Republican. And I want to tell Steven, in San Francisco, the one who rides around in that junky van with his guitar and calls up talk radio stations pretending to be someone else so he can tell us about who shot John Lennon. You are a very intelligent guy. In your own way. You seem to know a lot. Do you know who shot John Lennon? We did – the Nixon Republicans. So yadda, yadda, har har. That’s right. It wasn’t Mr. S. King the writer. You are a smart guy, but not so smart – you didn’t know, that Elvis shook President Nixon’s hand? Look carefully. At the hand shake. Do you see it? It’s the sign. The secret handshake. And that’s not all. It the second foundation, after Oswald. And something else. We have Nixon’s DNA. I don’t need to tell you much more than that. Even if I like to pull your chain. But, I know you’ve been hanging out in the streets with the creeps and the Workers World Party folks. You found that your oration has an ear that listens with them. But, we are there, too. We have our Nixon Republican operatives as agents, spies, in the WWP, and we know everything. We have all the names.

Do you think I’m kidding?

When the war gets underway, do you think they will get more militant, like the weather underground did?

I doubt it. By the time they half way get themselves organized, the liberation of Iraq will be over.

Hey, Mister "Twit-Of-The-Year" Conyers. Our president is busy at the present time protecting our nation, unlike your former A-Hole-In-Chief boss, Slick Willy Klintoon.

He's readying up to impeach the maggot of Iraq right now, but I'm sure he'll make some time for you off-camera and behind closed doors in a few weeks where he will listen to your complaints, and all of your typically naive stupid DemonRat remarks, and then promptly "bitch-slap" your negative poisonous liberal *ss. How's that?

Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, founder of International Action Center, also called for impeachment, saying that the Bush administration is "committing the worst crimes known to humanity."...just read on another thread the story of the Iraquis run through the plastic shredder (their ground remains then fed to fish) - it could be that Clark is just poorly informed and hasn't heard such stories out Saddam's regime, but in that his bizarre statement also discounts the atrocities committed by the Nazis and Stalin, it seems more likely that he simply lost contact with reality years ago......

"If the mob decides "democratically" to spit on returning soldiers they will do it. It wouldn't be the first time these protestors (many in their 50s) spit on people they didn't agree with (some have even done so during this war's protests)."

I will beat the ever-loving tar out of the first person I visualize spitting on one of our returning troops.
