You'd better not try to shutdown Bechtel Thursday morning!

What is an "elite group of Republicans"? What are they planning on doing?

This is my hometown and I have been attending peace marches and similar actions for over 50 years. While it is a good idea to leaflet the Financial District condemning war profiteers like Bechtel, I was horrified to run into a group of people dressed in lewd fake breasts and using missiles as penises at the corner of Montgomery and Market this evening around 5:30 p.m., all claiming to be different members of Bush's cabinet, and one had a sign on him/her condemning Republicans. I told the young man doing the leafletting who was not in costume that the Democrats are just as reactionary as the Republicans and these costumes were viciously anti-women. In fact, they are also anti-workingclass.

If the peace movement wants any sympathy from the workingclass anywhere, including the Financial District, you had better get rid of your pornograhic trash and start promoting class struggle. In particular, you had better do labor organizing of the workingclass of the general strike to take state power to establish socialism. The problem is not mental backwardness or sexual problems of individuals; the problem is the profit motive of capitalism and only a united workingclass can put an end to capitalism.

The arrogance exhibited by this disgusting pornographic theater obviously was not appreciated by anyone as this little group was avoided by all who could.

If you are going to be theatrical, you must discuss labor versus capital. Otherwise, just hand out the leaflets and whatever you do, show respect for the workingclass. It is labor that creates all wealth and only labor can change this society and guarantee peace.

give me a fucking break... you're complaining about "porno" after this country invading and raping Iraq......

you need to watch more TV... you sound stressed....

better yet...strap a bomb to yourself and go for a job interview at bechtel. i'd vote for that!

Sorry that you did not see the humor in front of the message that we were sending out to the masses. If you had stopped and listened for a spell you would have heard the gist of what we were messaging.
I fully believe in swiftonian humor even and especially when it is below the belt. performing for the "workers" in the financial district is a struggle and you need to have something that catches their eye. Tactics need to be constantly changing in order to keep up with the struggle.
Considering that I am indeed a woman as well as two others in my group, I did not find it offensive to women. Which brings up, what is offensive? Me dressed up in fake breasts and a strap on pipeline, or the obscene amounts of money that we are pouring out of our communities and into the coffers of corporations.
As for working with and for the workers, many in our group have worked for years with different activist groups promoting unions and workers rights, so sir or madam you are once again preaching to the choir. You talk to us as if we are misfit children and do not know what we do. We are quite serious about our pranks. Humor is one of the few devices that will open a closed mind.

This is a major part of the problem right there, 50 years of this kind of foolishness?
it is long past time for you to get a "real" life! the fact that you have so little in your life that al you have to do is wander around in the street with these disoriented juvenal delinquents is sad.

We are all idiots. It is easy to sit there and criticize other people. Any fuckball can do that. Noone is sophisticated. Noone is "more adult" than anyone else(unless you are talking about X vs. XXX). Acting like an adult just furthers ignorance. You're just a baby and the only thing you know anything about is what is in front of your face. And that goes for all of us.
At least these people with fake tits and strap on missiles are doing something. Talking has been shown to produce little else besides misconception and deceipt. Action is what counts. Do something. Anything.
