Carl you said your doing things differently and having great success. what in the hell are you taking about? You havn't done anything yet! The democrats were voted into office on a "end the war campaign" yet only one didn't vote fore the defense bill. Some of your great speakers are some who are for those bills. wake up, you can keep compromising until you turn blue, but by the time your done the "anti war movement" will be so watered down it won't mean a thing.
furthermore, the "left" in the u.s especially the center left is truthfully right. It's like listening to fox news, you have a left and a right commentator.
and Daley, can you make this protest any more uncomfortable for people of color. You think that the war is the only issue, theres a war going on all over the city everyday, and groups like chicago's cop watch, and oct 22nd coalition are doing an excellent job.
Yet low income people and people of color are being moved out of the city (In 2005 cook county ranked 3rd for most people leaving the county, behind two counties that were blasted by katrina. Yet the white liberal yuppies that are running working class people out are who you want to organize? Followers of Daley, O bomb A, and durbin? The anti war movement continues to be wrapped in white liberal and classes politics.
furthermore chicago is:
flips between 1 and 2nd segregated city.
1st in police shootings
3rd in worst recycling programs
is the world leading agricultural neo liberal center
has no limits on party donations
you can still elect family to office.

that's fantastic, bring out daley, who runs on a "democrat" ticket, why? maybe because most of chicago id's as democrates and if he's going to win the election he has to identify as such.

Historic my ass, lame, shallow, waist of resources that could go towards victims of police brutality, and hey, many some far right wingers will be willing to speak against the war.

This is a VERY HISTORIC PROTEST: boring, dead, politics. I can see the dinosaurs coming out!!!!
