Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 01:02 AM by anarchy1999
out there that will join in our efforts to oppose the opposition. By the way, I'm not a communist, I'm not a "Nazi", I only really truly care about this nation and I do consider myself to be a true "Patriot". I stand with Sen. Byrd, with Granny D, with Jim Hightower, with all the whistle blowers, with Molly Ivins, and Greg Palast and everyone within this administration afraid to come forth with what they know. I stand with everyone trying so hard to save this nation from ruin. Please if you can help us out here in Texas, there are alot of us that truly are concerned for where this nation is headed.

This bunch that call themselves the Protest Warriors are truly the scariest bunch of people I've seen gather together, far scarier than "skinheads". I spoke with someone very knowledgeable this last week and we both agreed along with many others, we are re-living the history we failed to learn from. Germany, circa 1933 or so......... "they came for......
and then they came for me and there was no one left."

Hello,

The moderator of the OpposingPW group has changed the group's name.
This means that both the group's email address and the group home page
location have changed.

The group email address:

The group home page location:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/opposingtheprotestwarriors

If you have links which point to this group or an address book entry
for the group, you should update them, as the old addresses will no
longer work.

1. Isn't there anyone here willing to join in with us?
I have to own up, I'm just a little disappointed. Sorry. Where are you all?

3. Ok just got back from protestwarrior.com
Looks like someone is puting a lot of time & money into organizing the new Brown Shirts, laying a foundation & philosophy.

Their philosophy WAR is the Answer.

4. I think your perspective is pretty much right on.
Look for the film by Director Robert Kane Pappas,

ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE

It is being shown in Dallas on September 29, 2004 www.dallasvideo.org

It just happens to be our anniversary as well. Special party plans in the works.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave, Sept. 29 7:30 pm


On Sept. 29, the Video Association of Dallas will present its final Texas Documentary Tour, featuring "Orwell Rolls in HIs Grave." Director Robert Kane Pappas will be in attendance and will conduct a Q&A after the film. Director Robert Kane Pappas’ ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE is the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy. Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, Pappas explores what the media doesn’t like to talk about: itself.

Wed. Sept. 29, 7:30 pm Angelika Film Center-Mockingbird Station $8 gen. public/$5 VAD members

5. Thanks for the info
"Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth"

Yes it has & if Rove can get CBS to back off the TANG story then it's
one more nail in the coffin of the Fourth Estate in America.

6. They believe war is the answer
As long as they don't have to fight it.....

Don't bother "protesting" them, they are pimply faced teenagers with penis (gun) fetishes. Just direct them to their local Armed Forces recruiter and be done with them.

7. We all wish it were that easy. You "misunderestimate" them.
We are not protesting them. They are protesting us protesting Halliburton, war profiteering, Dubya, Cheney and the lack of responsibility of our 4th Estate.

None of them want to go join up and they all have good reasons for not doing so.

Do you have any more good ideas?

8. They are irrelevant
They are children. Has there ever been more than 20 of them at an anti-protest protest or whatever they do?

You can do whatever you want, but you're only giving them legitimacy. Or is that your goal?

They love war. There is one going on they can join. In Iraq.

9. Wow, only 700 some odd posts and you accuse me of giving them
legitimacy. And that maybe that is my goal. Dearest yankeedem, IMHO you are way out of line. Come and join us on the front line in Dallas, okay. Then come and tell me how not legitimate this group is and how irrelevant they are. Spend 5 months doing it on a weekly basis. Thanks for your support. Go and do some homework, there are others that are, maybe you should.

10. I second that - why bother? There are vastly more sinister forces to fight
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 06:21 AM by thebigidea
Then again, maybe they'll form ProtestWarriorsOpposingOpposingPW, and you could retaliate ad infinitum... a moebius loop of acronyms!

12. Agree 100%. There are more sinister forces, guess what,
this bunch appears to be being backed up by those sinister forces. Looked them up yet? Done any research yet? Pay attention. Thanks, thebigidea.

13. Weeks to go to the election, forget these pissants and concentrate on Bush
If they start beating up 86 year old women with their own protest signs, lemme know.

Until then, best leave these fools on a backburner somewhere - they'd love the attention anyway. I mean, honestly - think for a minute... put yourself in their greasy jackboots: wouldn't you just LOVE a site filled with leftie pseudocommie pinko traitors dedicated to giving you more press?

14. Actually I'm concentrating on a couple of local Congressional Districts.
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 06:44 AM by anarchy1999
My weekend is literally gone. My husband wants me back, and tonight we agreed, just six more weeks........

Thanks, and we are on it. Would love to share more with you but .....

I will tell you what I've been telling everyone, I'm not involved in any more actions, rallies or protests. There is only two or three things I'm spending my time and resources on these next few weeks. Taking back the House, not giving up on Texas and making SURE OUR VOTES ARE COUNTED! Nothing else matters and as I've stated my husband is just humoring me. He already knows the outcome as do I. But, Will Pitt says it best, silence is sedition. I look to Granny D and I'll give it one last shot. This is my last shot though.

Oh and one more, just getting out the vote! I still believe, foolish I may be, I still believe.

11. I'm asking please to not let this thread degenerate into a Flame War.
If it becomes one, Mods, please kill it.
