Angry calls derail anti-war meeting
GOP chairman blasted group as 'traitorous'

A group of anti-war activists plans to soldier on after being told their meeting to discuss options to military service could not be held at the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools office last weekend because of safety concerns.

Steve Weiss said he was told by Superintendent of Schools Terry McAteer just before the meeting Saturday afternoon to move the group's meeting to another location because the superintendent said there was a potential for violence between Weiss' group and conservative activists.

The meeting was planned, Weiss said, to discuss with concerned parents and the community the presence of military recruiters at the middle- and high school levels and to inform individuals of options outside of military service. Another goal, he said, was "to tell them the truth on military life."

(Republican Central Committee Chairman Tony Gilchrease raised an alarm via e-mail.)

"Please note that this Peace Group of Anti-Americans and al Quida (sic) supporters, as far as I'm concerned, are holding their rally and 'training' at the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools office," Gilchrease wrote to several dozen area residents the day before the scheduled meeting.

the anti-war group managed to meet elsewhere and said "We are committed parents and activists," Weiss said. "This is even making us more determined to do this."

parents - don't let the bushgang take over your schools

I think eventually that's how we'll see a civil war begin- the hard-core, far-right Rethugs will simply devolve into common violence and murder of those who disagree with them, and it'll start happening at meetings like this. In this respect, they are little more than cornered animals, becoming more and more desperate as they see their footing slipping away from beneath their shoes.

And a crack shot, too.

outdone by themselves. They, like Hitler, will do anything to silence dissent.

:scared:

The 'bushgang" takeover of schools and local government is the single biggest contributor to the decline of education in the United States. Bigger than Rush Limbaugh and bigger than Newt Gingrich and bigger than Dick Armey, this has been going on for 25 years, so I would not call it "bushgang", although your point is well taken.

I point the bony finger of indignation at Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and all the other hateful pseudo-Christians who preach this doctrine and encourage dangerous religious radicals to execute their crusade of hate against the public schools across the nation.

Bet that same school superintendent would have no problem accommodating a group of parents who wanted to form a group supportive of his own peculiar, apparently hateful version of God.

criminal bushgang

It's a chicken-and-egg deal, IMO.

But we agree on who the gang members are.

They are beyond the pale. It's time to start calling them what they are. Reactionaries.

Nevada County is in California...

And yes this is outrageous, but just a taste of what's to come if Bush steals his way into the White House again...

So, rather than deal with the fascisti causing the problem, Terry McAteer, professional quisling, cancels the meeting of the peace activists.

Absolutely fookin' brilliant. Send McAteer a case of Vichy water.
