2. Many times the size of a cancerous tumor is not what kills, it is
where it is found: a brain tumor needs not to be big to kill. These people are too close to the fundamentalist RW line of thought not to take their threat seriously. And by doing things like the publishing the "enemy lists" they put people's lives at risk.

3. I was there, and I saw these guys.
I counted a total of 22. They got as much press as our quarter of a million +.

My point is that I always marvel at how the powerful DU hyperventilates over a couple of dumbshits... I get what you mean about the enemies lists but all in all, these guys are nothin.

5. Here's another exaggerated account....
My trip to D.C. to counter the communists

Jon Alvarez
October 26, 2003


I returned from Washington, D.C. late Saturday night after a whirlwind trip in which I drove 800 miles
within a twenty-four hour period. I joined other patriots in our nation's capitol as it came under
renewed assault from the anti-American, communist-backed group known as A.N.S.W.E.R. Now why
on earth would I drive so far, leaving the comforts of my home, simply to be verbally assaulted by a
group of left-wing wackos? The answer is simple; I made this trip to show my support for our
president, our troops, and our country.

I also made this trip to show the nation and the world that these leftist
protesters do not speak for me. I could not in good conscience sit by and allow for them to march
unopposed, spewing their venomous hatred not only for President Bush, but also for our country.
They do not represent mainstream America, despite the attempts of the mainstream media to
lead us to believe otherwise. What the media fails to report is that the primary backer of the
anti-war rallies has been the group A.N.S.W.E.R., a conglomerate of communist organizations. I
was saddened to see some young children and teens marching with these people, unaware of
what they stand for. The majority of the professionally made signs held by the anti-war protesters
were stamped "International Socialist Organization." Enough said.

What else did the media fail to report? They did not report that this anti-war protest was deemed a
huge failure. A.N.S.W.E.R. had estimated their numbers to be approximately 100,000, yet I can
attest that they had no more than 10,000 people in attendance. Furthermore, I have heard reports
that their event in San Francisco attracted only several hundred supporters. This is very good
news in that it shows that their movement is losing supporters as their anti-American agenda
becomes more visible.

<snip>
Hats off to the D.C. Police Department for handling this event in a most professional manner.There
was zero police presence at our initial rally point as there was no need for one. We did have to flag
down an officer to remove one "peace" protester who tried to disrupt our singing of "God Bless
America" as we concluded our rally. Several others stopped by early on and vandalized the
porta-potties we had rented for our event. It was quite a contrast to the policepresence necessary
along the route of the anti-war protesters as there was a large police presence in combat gear. As
we proceeded up Pennsylvania Avenue to our second rallypoint, we received numerous thumbs up
displays from these blue knights in body armor. It was nice to see that they appreciated our presence
on the field of battle that day.
