Smash is the man witih the plan: a challenge to CodePink here in San Diego.
HERE'S MY CHALLENGE to Candace and her CodePink posse:Me personally, I don't think they'll take up the challenge as I'm predicting their response will be something like "...not going to play into Protest Warrior Facist plans..."A handful of you are planning a trip to Washington, D.C. later this month, to take part in a large anti-war protest outside the White House. We all know that you are against the war, and that you generally don't like President Bush. So, what are you trying to prove?
Travelling across the country to Washington is going to cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Can you think of any way that this cash could be better spent? Is there, perhaps, a more pressing need that might be alleviated with that money?
How about, instead of going to Washington, you donate the dough you would have spent on that trip to the Red Cross? If you agree, San Diego Protest Warrior will match your donation.
Well?
I could be wrong, but it's just not in their nature to 'step up' and be human beyond what they already are.
As for the SDPW operation, yours truely was also there. I'll be posting some photos of the op later today time permitting.
On a slight side note, KUSI television stopped by and shot some video of both us and CodePink. I tapped the news that night at ten and sure enough - at 14 minutes or so into the broadcast, that piece was featured.
I can say modestly that I was in three different camera shots. Smash was interviewed and I wasn't. But that's okay because I was wearing a t-shirt that was IMHO appropriate for the occasion.

Comments on SDPW Arrives, CodePink Wets Themselves
hey listen,
i think your whole situation with your kidneys is s damn shame, and in all sincerity, I hope it works out.
Im also, like you, all about free speech.
aside from that, i think the tag line under your blog name is INCREDIBLY racist against Muslims. "Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!" are you serious?
|| Posted by sarah, September 8, 2005 12:24 AM ||I am an American Muslim promoting peace, and support for our troops, as well as PROMPT aid to New Orleans.
I honestly don't believe Bush is with me on those points.
oh, also, you spelled 'truly' wrong and (although I am in no way affiliated with "CodePink"), I've donated half my earnings for last month to a Katrina charity.

You're seeing the tagline on the archieved stuff.
Although I changed the tagline on the main page, this worked for me.
And yeah, I'm serious: it's a line from 'Team America: World Police'.
And if you read the mini-bio of me on the main page, you'll see that here in the United States you are NOT affored the right to not be offended.
With all due respect, it's a joke and you shoud accept it and get on with life instead of getting 'offended'.
And BTW: your assertion that it's 'racist' is wrong - it's only making 'fun' of the Arabic language and there are many races of people that speak it....
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, September 8, 2005 05:36 PM ||Soooo, why doesn't PW just go ahead and donate the money they think it will cost? Just donate it and shut up. Seems there are alot of PW and Right March folks going to DC too, and we all know they support killing and bombing and illegal invasions of helpless countries... I guess they'll also be donating that money to the Red Cross. I'm going to DC and I'm donating. Geee, what a novel concept! Somebody's probably real proud of himself for thinking up that challenge
and, like it or not, Sarah's right.
|| Posted by Scroff, September 11, 2005 10:32 PM ||So Code Pink has donated almost $400... how much has SDPW donated? I'm donating $200, will you match that Mad One?
Money into mouth here folks... how about the rest of PW. This is an individual donation... how mmany of you will match that... or better yet, since I'm a good lefty... that's 1/3 of my weekly paycheck, how many will match 1/3 of their weekly paycheck...
|| Posted by Scroff, September 12, 2005 05:31 AM ||...how much has SDPW donated?
As of yesterday, PW and associates have raised over $10,000 whereas CodePink breached just over $1,100.
The details will be here soon...
As for me, I got nothing to donate. Not because I do not want to, but rather because getting harassing phones calls about late bills says I do not donate.
