They're BAAAAAAAAAAACK. We paid these "progressives" a visit in a thread I posted several months ago when they first started raising Cain at Trump rallies before the general election. Since our spectacularly uncurious and lazy MSM has decided not to do its job and expose who and what are behind these latest protests, let's find out for ourselves, shall we? Heh. Good luck with that. We're going to explore ANSWER's parent group the Workers World Party in more detail later, but in the meantime, some of you may be asking "Who is funding these ANSWERniks? Is "progressive" sugar-daddy George Soros and his OSI paying to organize and stage their temper tantrums and print the ubiquitous yellow signs one always finds at their protests? I don't think so, but we're not quite sure. Reportedly, ANSWER has been receiving funding through the Progress Unity Fund (PUF) which has shared the same address as ANSWER's office in San Francisco. The PUF has been described as a money laundering operation for ANSWER, and it is unclear who has been donating money to the PUF and ANSWER. The PUF does not publicly list its donors and has not responded to inquiries regarding the identity of its donors. One organization that has publicly acknowledged funding ANSWER is the Vanguard Public Foundation, which is also based in San Francisco. Before we further explore the people instigating the political violence we are currently witnessing, I'd like to hear your comments. As for myself, I am disgusted with the media's failure to expose the people orchestrating these protests. Who is the MSM serving - the public or these extremist groups? I think the answer is self-evident... .
I think Stalinists would be more apt. Since you brought up the Democratic Party, let's take a look at ANSWER's parent group, the Workers World Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_World_Party Notice that the WWP not only supported the USSR's bloody suppression of the Hungarian revolt of 1956, it supported the Soviet sympathizers in the Democratic Party who broke away to form the Progressive Party in 1948 and ran FDR's former Vice President, Henry Wallace, for president against Harry Truman and Thomas Dewey. What Wikipedia won't tell you is that 20 years later, "progressives" (a term used by the Soviets to describe their co-travelers in the West) saw an opportunity to re-enter and resume the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party during the Vietnam War protests that rocked the DNC in Chicago in 1968. From there they began their Long March through the party that culminated in the nomination and election of one of their own - Barack Obama - to President of the United States. After 60 long years, the progeny of Henry Wallace's socialist faction within the Democratic Party finally succeeded where their predecessors had failed against Harry Truman's Cold Warriors in 1948. While I don't doubt that many of these socialists voted for Hillary Clinton, their views are more similar to the socialist who ran against her in the Democratic primaries. As Bernie Sanders and the "progressive" wing of the Democratic Party's star rises, so will the voice and influence of the ANSWERniks operating inside and outside the party.
Say No to Trump and Yes to Hate! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... - - - Updated - - - More ANSWERnik astroturf on parade... Where's her Dear Leader?
The one with glasses, in the foreground, I've seen her picture before. Not sure where, but I know I've seen her face.
I wouldn't be surprised. I personally met some of those anti-American idiots in Washington DC back when they were the vanguard of the "anti-war" protests: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1802997/posts Since then, they've been the vanguard of the Occupy Wall Street protests, the anti-police protests and now the anti-Trump protests. I swear to God, I have never met a more miserable bunch of nihilistic hate-filled losers in my entire life. Ridiculing those morons at their March to the Pentagon in 2007 was far and away the most entertaining experience I have ever had with my clothes on.
These paid protestors lol. Trump hasn't even taken office yet, and he's creating jobs. Well done Mr President.
The A*N*S*W*E*R* Coalition ( Act Now to Stop War and End Racism ) < http://www.answercoalition.org/ > a splinter group of the Party for Socialism and Liberation ( PSL ) that is a splinter group of CPUSA. The A*N*S*W*E*R* Coalition has been on George Soros payroll at May Day parades, open borders and pro amnesty rallies, anti Trump rallies and riots, OWS, Ferguson riots under the direction of the Obama White House. It's where the DNC, Hillary Clinton and Obama turn too when they need some brown shirts on the streets. http://sorosfiles.com/soros/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sorosPPP.pdf
Wait a minute! So, you're saying that these patriotic, responsible, tolerant, mature, hard-working, taxpaying Americans didn't all organize themselves, leave their families and important places of employment, print the same exact signs from their home printers, staple them to those same exact sticks, and that they didn't fashion those sticks from hand-hewn lumber from their own backyard sawmills? Is that what you're saying?!?!? I find all this an affront to my common sense and consider it simply appalling that you'd suggest this, you Nazi, Fascist, hate-mongering, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, right-wing ZEALOT!!! (Insert GIANT pair of rolling eyes here!)
Stalin's "socialism in one country" pretty much left "Communism" in the dust. It was just national socialism at that point. The libertarian, withering of the state, theories of Marx and Lenin were gone if not entirely forgotten.
Looks like a prime target for Protest Warrior. Too bad they split up. I wonder if they'll get the old band back together for one last hurrah?
Every member of a tribe drinks that tribes Kool Aid. Mr. Trumps tribe is no different. Free thinkers do not belong to a particular tribe.
Previous generations of Americans were vigilant against the threat posed by Marxists. Hopefully we get that back.
ANSWER has been unintentionally successful at "Act now to stop war" by avoiding Wall St. shill and massive war hawk neocon Hillary Clinton. Congratulations.
Wait till Trump takes office and the Department of Justice takes down George soros and his band of UnAmerican friends. Oh I can't wait till the rule of law is followed by all Americans. No more sanctuary cities. Oh life is gonna be good.
And he's creating jobs for his TDS-addled "progressive" haters, bless his heart. Where's the love? Where's the gratitude? Are they angry because they have to work?
You're right, Russ, and I should know better. One of the ANSWERniks I met in DC at the 2007 March on the Pentagon was Mitch/Midge Potts from Code Skank. He/she/it is in the fourth and fifth rows of photos wearing the pink hat and pink "Impeach Bush Now" shirt: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1802997/posts We were in the welcome wagon that greeted Mitch/Midge and his ANSWERnik comrades at the south end of the Memorial Bridge outside Arlington National Cemetery. For some reason they didn't appreciate our MOAB (Mother Of All Banners)... http://s35.photobucket.com/user/bmwcyle/media/Gathering2007/AmericanIdol006.jpg.html?t=1174262712"
These people thinking that the Soviet Union and the Deutsche Demokratische Republik and all the rest were just "perversions" of socialism.... Young, clueless idiots. Also useful idiots to any puppet master seeking to overthrow one of the best systems of government on earth in order to seize power. It's sad that they keep falling for this "racism" crap.
It's one thing to be a young, clueless idiot who is unfamiliar with the Gulag and Laogai, but the leadership in the WWP, ANSWER, PSL, etc., are middle-aged men and women who were alive when East Germans took sledgehammers to the Berlin Wall and rocked the world. Those Old Left and New Left bitter-enders have no excuse for clinging to their failed utopian fantasies. They saw what was going on beyond the Iron and Bamboo Curtains and they saw it all come crashing down. They should have learned their lesson a quarter century ago, but they act like it never happened...
Hell, there are Germans who feel or have felt "Ostalgie" for the DDR. I'm not surprised that there are even middle aged morons who don't know any better in our country. They just choose to indulge in certain ideologies and probably stay in their echo chambers as much as possible.
This the new-style Van Jones type of "demonstrating." When I was in college, we learned, pardon me, were forced to learn, about "solidarity" and "civil disobedience." At that time, I didn't like it because it wasn't for me. It was for the kids they could mold into liberal crusaders. So, for me, I was more offended by the ideology than the tactics. Now, I'm offended by the tactics, which aren't what we learned 30 years after MLK. This is a new-style of Van Jones "no justice, no peace" trying to get your way. It's dangerous. It is Marxist-inspired. It's about to get the hammer on inauguration day, too.
