[Peace-discuss] DN: NAACP Report Ties Tea Party to Militia and Racist Groups

[C. G. Estabrook]

Mort--

Make a list of anti-war Democrats - ones who are willing to vote against funding 
the current war, for example - not just those who say "I'm against war."  
(Everyone is for peace - on their own terms.)

Send me your list, and I'll send you a longer one - beginning with Ron Paul's 
and Justin Raimondo's people - of those associated with the teapartiers who are 
against this war.

I remember, from a math class long ago, that this was a way to prove the 
existence of multiple infinities, by a process of iteration...

Neither group is infinite, but they do differ in magnitude.

Furthermore, the ones I refer to are organized - into Paul's R3VOLution, the 
Libertarian party, the paleoconservatives around several journals - while there 
is no organized Democratic party opposition to the Democratic president and 
administration.

Those of us with memories of a generation ago want to believe that there is an 
anti-war movement on the left wing of the Democratic party.

Unfortunately, no one's home.  It's been Obama's great contribution to the war 
effort to make that so.  --CGE
