[Peace-discuss] [sf-core] couple things

[Karen Medina]

I often wonder if all our actions can be misconstrued, and yes they can.
Our anti-war demonstration this Thursday may be misconstrued to be
ONLY against the war in Iraq.
Our panel last Sunday could be misconstrued as being anti-Semitic.

But there are worse things than being misunderstood in these ways.
One worse thing is not saying anything and non-action being understood
as compliance.

Karl Rove is coming to my hometown.
He is here to do two things: promote his book and support fellow politicians.

My message, misunderstood or not, is:
Karl Rove, you are not welcome here.
Karl Rove, I hope your book is a flop.
Dear other politicians, if you think having Karl Rove on your side is
a benefit, then think again.

This has been an interesting conversation. I appreciate the
opportunity to be challenged. I deeply appreciate this community of
peace-discuss.
