Sorry State of the Union

This is from Sam Joi, activist extraordinaire who helped coordinate the third annual State of the Union party in San Francisco:
Hi folks!

Thanks to all our fabulous CodePINKer's who braved
bushisms and busheets, and a little right-wing back
lash as well, Tuesday nite to join us at Union Square
Sports Bar to SPEAK-OUT against the lying, people
dying, and spying regime we're fighting against.

We had a raucus time reacting to Bush who seems to
still think saying it makes it true - and we'll
believe whatever he says! We played Liar's Bingo,
recorded pages & pages of his lies, and ended the
evening with a little ruckus of our own at Lefty
O'Doul's, which we have dubbed "Righty" O'Doul's.

    Hi Rae:

    I hope you are having a wonderful day. I wonder if I could convince you to go to this link and see the people you are defending. http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/berg_killing.zip.
    Seriously Rae, tell us why you are defending these people. This could have been any one of our children. Please look into this young mans face before they slice off his head. Please, watch as they slice off his head while he is screaming. Rae, he is a human being. If you are an honest human being watch this, then post a blog telling me how you rationalize that we have caused this horror. Please, tell us why fighting this madness is wrong. Think it won't happen here? Good luck.

    I think you want to share a little suffering. Not a bad thing. But be careful that you don't accelerate the day when you - and the rest of us - will really suffer.

    By the way, I am not part of the Right-Wing Backlash.

    I am however anti-fascist. You have to ask yourself, "Am I pro-fascist?"

    Are you?

    Let's have your answer, please.

    you are inflicting poison in the minds of today's youth and everyone else. it saddens me to hear your rants and those of your ridiculous codepink followers. you all need to wipe the sleep from your eyes that is called ignorance and WAKE UP. i get so infuriated to hear the garbage coming out of your mouth while young men and women are putting their lives on the line for you. not for politics, not left nor right, but upholding an oath they swore to protect our rights and liberties that you so carelessly abuse. maybe our country should turn a blind eye to the atrocities taking place in the world, and let murderous tyrants be in power. let's ignore compassion, and a willingness to fix what's wrong, the root of the problem, before it becomes worse than it is. let's give in to terrorists. step down and let them know we are afraid and will do nothing to fight back. what kind of world would that be? i know i do not want to be a part of it. i am proud to be an American, proud to stand up when people like you try to jeopardize our freedom. my heart swells with thankfulness at the thousands of service men and women who give up their freedoms to defend ours. my heart aches for them, for the families they leave behind, the normalcy of a civilian life. but how wonderful it is to know that there are courageous American's out there. when i see people dressed in idiotic get-ups trying to get attention for bogus causes and finger pointing, i am comforted in knowing ultimately we'll be alright because of the selfless sacrifices taking place that you spit on.
