Next protest, ahoy!

A.N.S.W.E.R. is planning a big protest on Friday, June 27 at 6pm in front of the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City. Despite the rush hour traffic, I just might cover it.

Here's the text of their flyer. Fisk at will:

Un-elected President George W Bush has carried out a war to
takeover Iraq for oil profits. That war has killed thousands of
innocent Iraqis. U.S. troops now occupy Iraq in colonial style in spite of mounting anger and resistance from the Iraqi people.
Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Cuba are being threatened. At home, affirmative action, civil liberties and immigrant rights are under assault, joblessness is rising, and Bush is handing over
hundreds of billions of dollars to the already super-rich in the
form of a tax cut.
On June 27th, Bush will breeze into town and rub elbows with a group of hand-picked politicians, and local millionaires so he can rake in millions of dollars for the Republican Party. The thousands of people in Los Angeles who protested the war
against Iraq, will be out there in the streets to say no to the Bush program of war, occupation, racism and tax give-aways to the rich!

OCCUPATION IS NOT LIBERATION!
NO WAR FOR EMPIRE!
End colonial occupation from Iraq to Palestine! U.S. troops out of Korea, the Philippines, Colombia, and Afghanistan! U.S. hands off Cuba, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Syria & Iran! Money for jobs, housing, education, & healthcare - not for war! Defend Civil Liberties - no to Patriot Acts I & II! Stop the attacks on immigrant communities! No to racism and oppression at home!

Where does one start? Well, one doesn't start. One just laughs.
