Speaking for my own self, Bush looked weak during his State of the Union and Nancy Pelosi looked like a bobble-head when she jumped to applaud Bush's comment about "crossing the aisle." She was the first one to applaud. Guess who's going which way? Jim Webb gave the rebuttal. "God Bless America." Talk about code words.

After millions voted against this war in the last election, George Bush
has a dramatic and risky plan to escalate and expand the conflict. Bush
speaks of war for a generation, torture is legally codified. The Democrats talk about partial withdrawls somewhere down the line. That's not the orders going out to the military in this illegal, imperialist war.
"Spreading the war to Africa and Iran, while normalizing surveillance, torture and a culture of fear – the world can’t wait two more years for an election that may not even stop them. There is no way an administration that has committed war crimes should remain in office.
"We don’t need a new consensus: we need to drive this man out of power. We must repudiate everything Bush stands for. Join World Can’t Wait in Washington, DC to raise the concrete, possible and necessary goal for 2007: Impeach Bush for War Crimes!
"Get in touch now to find out about buses to DC, and how you can help put impeachment on the table... or turn it over!"

The January 27 protest is sponsored by United For Peace & Justice with the slogan: "March on Washington to end the war."
Hmmm, I thought that United for Peace & Justice [UFPJ] organized this demo, i guess it was the 'World Cant Wait' all along. Well its good they are finally doing something.
Oh, no wait, UFPJ is organizing this, this post is just really misleading. Ooops!

This protest is called by UFPJ, and endorsed by several hundred groups, including World Can't Wait.
For more information from United for Peace and Justice, check their website.
Of course, if you want to engage in the typical chest-bumping and anonymous slagtalk – you might want to take it elsewhere. (Or at least sign your name so you don't come off as shady as you do.)

Yeah, Pelosi should of wore a pink t shirt and screamed "Bring the troops home" until Bush decided to give it up. And Webb should of called for the oppressed masses to begin a People's war like Nepal under the glorious leadership of Chairman Avakian. I'm sure workers and peasants across America would have let out a big "right-on", start pumpin their fists in proletarian rage and took the streets under hardcore red leadership (no wimpy revisionists or social dems invited)

Actually, "wimpy revisionists and social dems" are invited. Hell, I'll work with former CIA officers like Ray McGovern, the former warden of Abu Ghraib Janice Karpinski and congresspeople of either party if they have the gumption to impeach the president.
Jim Webb is all for leading a battle cry for victory, and America's "workers and peasants" (hardee-harhar) are well past done "shaking their fists" at the war fever people like him dished up for years.
People want this war over. They aren't ending it. The fear-mongering and manipulation have worn thin. We could see that last night.
But hey, if you're first comment is to drop a turd on the very people who can say "power to the people" without breaking out in giggles.... well, I feel for you.
Maybe cynicism is the true last refuge of the scoundrel.
(And I'm wearing a pink shirt right now, thank you very much.)

Any reports on how the anti-war demo in DC went, for those of us who couldn't make it?
