That's the threat from organizer Leslie Cagan, the long-time Communist head of the United for Peace and Justice Coalition.
When they do turn violent and destructive it's time to call out the National Guard to shoot them.

We were having breakfast yesterday, at a restaurant, reading the Seattle Times, and was surprised at this 'opinion' page author
Just found it online
Without much surprise to me, I've been called every name under the sun by raging peaceniks. They often express their alarm that I would hold an American flag, whole and dignified. "Didn't you know that flag stands for terrorism?" they query. They often follow their interrogation with a bogus statistic from a recent edition of The New Federalist or International Socialist Review: Journal of Revolutionary Marxism. I chuckle and thank God these people are not in the majority in this country.
If anyone reads the entire article, see who the author is
Pretty smart person

It's amusing to me how people keep trying to pretend that the "anti-war protestors" are all wild-eyed Bolsheviks and card-carrying members of the Torch America Now League.
Not the case. At the protest I went to, I met Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian clergy. There were a lot of teenagers, including one very well-spoken young lady who addressed the group. There were a lot of older people. People pulled up in new SUVs, shiny sports cars and rattletrap sub-compacts. The one thing that surprised me was the large number of black people who were there, and how many people who said they had daughters or sons in the military. There were American flags a-plenty, and they were mostly treated with respect.

Since when does being black, young, old, clergy, driving an automobile, or being well spoken preclude you from being a communist, socialist, anarchist, or someone so naive they support the commies platform and don't even know it ?

So then, let me make sure I understand reamond/REAMOND. In your opinion, EVERYONE who attends or attended a peace rally involving the upcoming conflict is either "a communist, socialist, anarchist, or someone so naive they support the commies platform and don't even know it". Would that be a completely correct description of your opinion of ALL anti-war protesters? A simple yes or no will suffice. Thank you.

Whether some or all were commies, anarchists, socialists or dummies is not the issue. The issue is what does how these people look have to do with their mental capacity or political affilation.

I have to agree with with reamond. I believe that the anti-war protesters are communists, socialists, anarchists, or people so naive they support the commies platform and don't even know it.
Now I believe they have the right to protest, but I also have the right to protest against the protesters.
Some folks are trying to stifle dissent of the dissent.

I am certainly not trying to stifle dissent here, I'm trying to get a straight answer to a simple question.Thanks for making your position clear ebayauctionguy,now we know how you feel about anti war protesters.. if only reamond/REAMOND would do the same. His reply is to dodge and say that's not the issue.
Seems to me like if he really believed all antiwar protesters are "a communist, socialist, anarchist, or someone so naive they support the commies platform and don't even know it", he'd be willing to answer my question with an unqualified YES, and if he doesn't really feel that way, with a simple NO.I didn't even plan to disagree with him one way or the other, I'd just like to know I am clear in understanding his opinion. In the absence of a direct answer, I must conclude that his opinion is not quite as firm as he would have us believe.

How these people look has nothing to do with their mental capacity or political affiliation reamond. Neither does whether they attended a peace rally. I wouldn't stoop to calling attendees at a pro-war rally "dummies", "intolerant", "xenophobic","naieve" or "fascists". They are folks with different opinions which they have every right to express in this country, for now.I'd still like an answer to my original question.

A peace rally is a political statement. The peace rallies are organized by the communists. So which category do the protesters fall into ?

Bill O'Reilly reported the same news as my link. If the commies running the anti-war rallies in the US did not state this, they have yet to deny it.

Most of the time I respect the opinions of others on this board, but this comment goes beyond deserving that respect. That comment shows pure ignorance, plain and simple. I resent being called any of those things because I oppose war of any type. What right do YOU have to call me or any other peace loving person such ridiculous things? I guarantee you that if we do go to war 99% of those war protesters will support our men overseas. Just because we protest the war DOES NOT mean that we don't love our country or the men fighting for it. Your comment was ignorant and self-supportive. I only hope that I stand in front of St. Peter one day at the same time you are there. Protesting war has absolutely nothing to do with communism. I bet you were a supporter of McCarthy. Wake up from your dream and get back to reality.

Cheryl...
These Bushbots are blind to one reality. Only communists, socialists and anarchists want to silence the dissidents.
By trying, they have become what the "pretend" to despise. But in reality, to them the Communists had the best system, no one was allowed to disagree. Everyone agreed with the "elected" leader.....or else!
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both boldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar
