The Far Left smells weakness in the president’s speech last night (or money) and they’ve decided to have an “emergency” protest at the White House next Saturday, December 12th. It promises to be some real entertainment;
Speakers include: Cynthia McKinney, Sen. Mike Gravel, Kathy Kelly, Chris Hedges, David Swanson, Phyllis Bennis, Rev. Graylan Hagler, Coy McKinney, Debra Sweet, Brian Becker, Mathis Chiroux, Lynne Williams, Hon. Betty Hall, Elaine Brower, Marian Douglas, Michael Knox, Ralph Lopez, Ron Fisher, and statements from Col. Ann Wright, Stephen Zunes and Granny D (turning 100).
I see ANSWER, IVAW, World Can’t Wait, Greens, Code Pink, VFP, the Northeast Impeachment Coalition, a 100-year-old whose sole distinction is that she’s 100 and against war, and a guy they continue to call Senator even though he hasn’t been in office for nearly 20 years.
Their timing sucks, though. Most of the college kids in town will either be at home or taking finals. It promises to be a reunion of the Bethesda chapter of MoveOn (if they can all get day passes from the nursing home) with stirring screeches from the podium.
What would a meeting like this be without Cynthia McKinney blaming Whitey and his Jew friends for everything.
I wonder if Matthis and his ‘fiance’ will be sharing a room at La Quinta with Elaine Brower. How cozy.
They’ll be hitting the streets this evening in Los Angeles:

What, no movie stars. Guess it’s not as popular to protest this president.
Can we finely hire a murdering suicidal bomber to come to this protest and make it a bang up time? This would help heal some of the universe. It sure does sorely need it.
It would be interesting have a (semi) impartial observer there to see how many people actually come. Then compare the number of people and the MSM attention -vs- the Sep 12 Rally number of people and the MSM attention that DIDN’T get.
There’s GOT to be an inverse ratio formula in there somewhere:
The more left the politics = the less people show up for a protest / rally = the more attention the MSM gives it.
“I see ANSWER, IVAW, World Can’t Wait, Greens, Code Pink…”
I see a TRP.
I looked on DailyKos for the rally info.
