Protest Freaks

I watched C-SPAN's coverage of CindyFest 2005. These goofs couldn't help themselves. The protest was suppose to be against the Iraq War, but Palestine had to be mentioned along with globalization, Cuba, and gay marriage. Surprisingly in the time I watched no one wanted to "Free Mumia!" He must be passe. The Cuban 5 is where it's at. Here are some highlights lowlights:

• Virginia Setshedi, South African Community Activist (C-SPAN's description) chanted, "Free, free Palestine!" Then she complained about policies coming out of Washington, D.C. causing poverty across the globe. Half of what she chanted was impossible to understand.
  
  

• My sister's response to Gloria La Riva head of the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five: "Free the Jackson 5!" This is the same Gloria La Riva who was the target of Tim Blair in 2004. The same woman who complained of the lack of social justice in the U.S. ignored the oppression in Cuba. But at least "You will never see a Jerry Springer or Cristina show on Cuban television."
  
  

• My sister was then "offended" by Mahdi Bray's awful impersonation of Martin Luther King, Jr. The executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation tried his best to emulate MLK's verbal starts and stops.
  

The best part was the ANSWER organizers making the crowds endure all the speakers with their Leftist pet causes that had little to do with the Iraq War. A new speaker would come up and the crowd would moan loudly. They wanted to march, but the ANSWER gang hushed them. Getting "valuable" C-SPAN TV time before an audience of over 50 people was too tempting to pass up.

I now just watched Cindy Sheehan's talk. She sounded like a kindergarden teacher. "You're a part of history!" "Pat yourselves on the back." "Thank you. I love you." Such eloquence hasn't rung in my ears since...since this loon said the Yakuza sent Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans.

Sunday, you have a chance to support the President, our troops, and the Iraqis fighting for peace, security, and freedom. Unlike the Left, you will speak one message with one voice. Say it loud. Say it proud.
