Re: Re: Chicago ISO Statement on the October 27th Demonstration

I like the focus.

I mean, I agree with, or at least sympathize, with the various specific incarnations of the general anti-imperialist approach, but they do diffuse the basic message, and confuse, or alienate, a lot of potential supporters. I suspect that's behind the decrease in turnout over the years.

This war is bad enough that "Out Now" is the right message for this demonstration.

If Daley, Durbin or Obama addresses the crowd at an "Out Now" demonstration, that's great. But I suspect they'll decline for exactly that reason. Daley has the least to lose politically but, on the other hand, he's the most cautious of the three. Durbin's the only one who's taken any chances so far, and he still hasn't taken enough chances.
