Re: 3/23: Peace Protesters Stage Dramatic Die-in to Oppose Iraq War at City's Most Prominent Catholic Parish

To wtf?:

You act as though the antiwar movement has had absolutely NO impact on the US working class these past 5 years... but the polls show that right now, 70% of the populace is opposed to the war... quite a change from 5 years ago, don't you think?

Not to mention that it has been reported that the absentee ballots being sent in during the primaries from the soldiers in Iraq have been heavily in favor of either Ron Paul or Obama - both candidates who have vowed to pull the US soldiers out of Iraq ASAP.

Compare the police actions at the first antiwar demo 5 years ago, before the war started, when 800 people got arrested... to this weeks 19 Mar demo, where exactly 0 people got arrested. Much harder for the cops to justify arresting people when the opposition to the war is at 70%, even though there were some dumbass anarchoids who were trying to get busted the night of Mar 19th outside the Newberry Library... but the police, now significantly run by the murderous but far shrewder ex-FBI honcho, weren't biting. The cops weren't even wearing riot gear; they had no intention of using tear gas, as not one cop had a gas mask on him/her. Unlike the pre-war demo, where every cop was dressed like Darth Vader and they carried both gas masks and tear gas canisters. They were ready to seriously kick ass back then. They could have kicked ass on Mar 19th as well, but they were using far softer tactics, as befits a much stronger anti-war climate among the populace.

70% opposition is real to the powers that be in Chicago... but some puerile fake-lefties here seem to think that it's still 2003.

Wtf rants that "The KKK has hidden among the ranks of more than a few so-called 'church leaders".... yeah but not "Catholic Church" leaders, you idiot. What a dumb analogy.

Go outside and get yourself a breath of fresh air, wtf...you're hyperventilating.
