Why are they focusing on Israel and Ashcroft? |
|
I'm watching the rally on CSPAN right now, it seems like they needed to focus solely on Iraq.

1. This is the very beginning of the rally... |
|
...which will last three hours...and then a march.
- This is a chance for all views to be aired...not just those the American media wants you to hear.

Ashcroft is a walking advertisement for the nazi way of life. I was actually going to say something else but I don't want to get booted out of here, or sit in a jail cell.

8. When I watched the Focus group on C-Span, the only consistent |
|
view for the majority of participants is that they DISLIKED ASHCROFT PROFOUNDLY. That's about the only positive thing I got from that focus group.

3. Because it's an ANSWER rally |
|
and they tend to talk about what ANSWER wants to talk about, not what we want them to talk about.

I'm not thrilled with the direction of this rally. But, we're only 30 minutes in, as Q says.
The views are all over the place for now though. Free Mumia. Free the Palestinians. Stop Ashcroft. Gay rights. American foreign policy is murderous. There actually hasn't been much talk, specifically, about Iraq yet.
NOTE: I agree with most of what they've said, I just think it needs to be focused solely on Iraq.

6. By all means...let's be like the Neocons and trash the messenger... |
|
...instead of listening to the message.
- And...this is not JUST an ANSWER rally this time. There are other sponsors...which you'd know if you were watching.
