4um: US anti-war group ordered to take down Iraq demo posters

Wed Aug 15, 4:43 PM ET

A US anti-war group has been warned it will be fined 10,000 dollars if it does not remove posters in Washington announcing a march in the capital next month against US involvement in Iraq, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

"The ANSWER Coalition has received citations from the authorities in Washington threatening to fine us 10,000 dollars unless several hundred posters announcing the September 15 march on Washington DC are removed," Sarah Sloan, the staff coordinator for the anti-war group, told AFP.

"We have until Thursday to take down the posters," she said.

Several hundred yellow posters have been put up around Washington announcing the protest, which is timed to coincide with the release of a report by the US military commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, on progress in the US "surge" strategy of raising troop levels.

Washington city authorities said the posters have to come down because they were stuck on with adhesive that did not meet city regulations.

"The charge about adhesives is false," Sloan said.

"This is a definitely a calculated political move aimed at disrupting the demonstration, which has been organised on a day when the world's eyes will be on Washington for the Petraeus report," she said.

Demonstrators from at least 90 cities around the United States and Canada have already pledged to come to Washington for the march, which will be part of a week of anti-war protests led by veterans of the Iraq war, according to Sloan.

A petition calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush, allegedly carrying one million signatures and endorsed by former US attorney general Ramsey Clark, will also be submitted to officials during the week's activities.

. . . is a gathering of every kookville hard left group in the country that our spook ridden MSM then presents as being the face of anti war opinion and then shows the obligatory shot of fat naked lesbians with tits down to their knees and hairy gay guys wearing crotchless leather chaps waving antiwar signs.

There is little doubt in my mind that "Answer" is spook created and funded - the purpose of which is to identify anti war sentiments with "left wingers" and weirdos.

I'll stand with them against the war in Iraq. I don't care if a CIA Black Op arranged the march (which in fact, they may well have). Those in power are so far removed from reality (and "the reality-based community"), they have no idea when they are helping or hurting their evil causes any more.
