Tracing the Money

The radical left is making a big show out of their rally in Washington this weekend. United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) is imploring all birkinstock-wearing doves to descend on the capital for three days of anti-war orgy.

Sickened by the killing, the torture, the destruction, and the spiraling human and financial costs of this illegal and immoral war? It's time to let Congress and the White House know: We're fed up and we will hold you accountable!

They will even train the naive leftists how to whine effectively.

Like most modern leftist endeavors though, it is being bankrolled by economic rapists, Hussein apologists, and of course, the commies. The Washington Times lays out the financial backers for the protest, which was reprinted in part at Captain's Quarters.

The leaders of ANSWER, founded three days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, are connected to the Workers World Party, a Marxist group that has expressed support for such dictators as North Korea's Kim Jong-il, Yugoslavia's Slobodan Milosevic and Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

To be sure, many people will be in D.C. for a legitimate purpose on Saturday. One wonders though, if they are even aware of the fact that they are puppets for anti-American and pro-dictatorship forces. Perhaps they should do some homework on their own supporters.

Captain Ed explains the risks involved in these unseemly associations:

Apologists for dictators do not have any moral standing for protesting American foreign policy. When groups like that discount 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq having the ability to select their own leaders and laws and would consign them to suffer under the brutality of strongman rule once more, they show themselves as the self-congratulatory, reactionary anti-Americans that they are.

The left seems to subscribe to the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" doctrine and are proving, once again, that they will excuse any behavior, any platform, as long as it stands against the Republican Party. My old man used to have a word for people who were willing to sell themselves to anyone willing to bankroll their personal interests. What was it?

Oh ya...whores.
