Since when is demanding a little (just a little) accountability about peace and justice issues right here at home demanding "an immediate transition to full communism everywhere"?!

Getting a little unhinged here, Carl, aren't we? Or just sick of defending the indefensible? It's all very well to call the Republicans hypocrites when they talk about "spreading freedom," but you lose all credibility when you fail to treat as scathingly the hypocrisy among your allies like O'bomb'em, et al.

You still have given no good reasons, aside from rationalizations, why Durbin, Daley and Obama were invited in the first place, let alone why any of the confirmed speakers in the Chicago area congressional delegation will be honored with a place at the podium -- ALL of whom just voted another $150 Billion to the Iraq/Afghanistan war a few weeks ago.

I sort of doubt that the 8th Day Center for Justice, or some of the other groups that have disendorsed or had public misgivings about this event, would be labeled as raving "communists" (except by the Vatican).
