Who is sponsoring the "anti-war rally" in SF on Sept. 4???
Republicans?

Dear fellow peace-niks,

I go to almost all peace marches,
when my health permits me;
even tho each march will contain some
groups whose views I despise.
I even go to marches which are organized
by a political party which I despise.
So I'm not a purist.

Yet,
I am surprised to see leaflets for
a supposed "anti-war" rally in SF,
which features a candidate
running AGAINST Nancy Pelosi.

His political party isn't mentioned.
Is he a closet-Republican?

The major speakers are a
nationally-famous Republican/Libertarian;
and a locally-famous ex-Green.

What's going on?

If this event is really
anti-war,
then why wasn't it listed
in the Indybay calendar?

And if it's phony Republican
tricknology,
why hasn't anyone
previously warned Indybay readers?

Not feeling very peaceful...

It appears to be sponsored by Ron Paul's C4L but is also being co-opted by others. It is being billed as many things by many groups, which could make it interesting. All I know is this event could use a HUGE dose of Black Flags.

§anti-war Republican

Eventually I was able to find out that this Reublican candidate
really is
anti-war.
Probably in the libertarian sliver of the Republican Party?
....
I second the suggestion of bringing black flags.
Also any sign or symbol
[ preferably hand-made]
which presnts YOUR views, identity, whatever.
....
Depending on weather, I might attend;
and/or go to Baker Beach.
...
By accident, I posted TWO articles on this topic;
different but over-lapping.
