The only empty words I see are yours. He put his time in and did his work. That's why this poet - repeat POET - is respected around the world. How you doin'?

The popular front is the greatest betrayal of the workers and oppressed. Conyers represents the slave-owners in Washington and Wall Street, not the multinational working class. For workers' strikes against the war! Break with the popular front!

Actually - I was there standing in the front and heard Conyers speak. I was standing right in front and it was black residents of Newark who were yelling at him, telling him that being a democrat is not enough and that they wanted impeachment back on the table. It was black residents of Newark who were calling on Conyers to impeach bush and reminding him that they weren't going to vote for someone just because they were a democrat. Conyers response was "Anyone but Bush!"

"The war in Iraq will end, but it isn't going to be because of this bunch. It is going to be because the Iraqi people are going to throw the US invaders out."

It allows you to do nothing at all and let the Iraqi people bleed.

Ironically it's the same position the Democratic Party leadership takes. Do nothing while the Republicans self-destruct.

Sounds like you've got more in common with them than you think.

Hows this one?

"The German people can't possibly overthrow Hitler. It won't be any protest or rebellion that ends the Holocaust. It will be the Red Army."

All very true. But would it have absolved the German people of the duty to act to end fascism? After all, they couldn't have possibly won, right? So just sit back and wait for the Russians.

Is how a social republicrat implant at NY-IMC keeps censoring posts in reply that show how "ice pick" "kaba" and his/her ilk are full of it.

Herdathons are a waste of time. They distract from anything substantive and are venues where slimy republicrat politicians can continue to spout out their lies and distortions.
