DIMWITS ONLY DEMONSTRATE THEIR OWN IGNORANCE By STEVE DUNLEAVY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February 3, 2002 -- JOHN KEATING of Manchester, N.H., was standing diagonally opposite the Waldorf-Astoria, fiercely waving his sign: "No New War Against Somalia." He was asked politely, "Where is Somalia?" Equally politely he responded: "Well, it's in . . . really, I don't know. I am what you call ‘a newbie.' No, I don't know." Further down the line with the group Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) was a very pretty young girl named Cayce James, from Portland, Maine. Cayce, 19, is taking a year off before hopefully attending Marlboro College in Vermont, and she held aloft a sign that reads: "Free Mumia," recently taken off death row in Pennsylvania. "Who is Mumia?" the young lady was asked. "I don't know, but there are a lot of people here who are much more educated in this subject than I am." Someone who obviously was far more educated on the subject was activist Monica Moorehead, who from the dais asked demonstrators: "Are we going to let the racists murder our brother Mumia?" The wife, relatives and friends of police Officer Danny Faulkner might ask Ms. Moorehead why Mumia Abu-Jamal riddled the cop with bullets in an ambush in Philadelphia on Dec. 9, 1981, ending his life. The demonstrators continually complained they weren't given their full rights of lawful assembly, and Lisa Fithian, an organizer for the group Another World is Possible (AWP), was outraged. "The police even searched our puppets," she said, some of which were 6 feet tall. Perish the thought. One can only say that the team that plays defense as good as the cops did yesterday will win the Super Bowl. But in the end, giving these empty buckets making the most sound a chance to express themselves closed down the city and cost millions in lost business and overtime - and I can't remember, in this spewing of anti-Americanism, once hearing the words, "September 11th." nypost.com -------------------------------- Reply 3 - Posted by: Rhonda, 2/3/2002 11:28:44 AM They are people who want to say "Me too" but don't even know why. They have no purpose and no cause, so they join the first cause, just like Muslims and other cult religions. This has become a cult. They jump on the band wagon without knowing the consequences or why. These are people like John Walker Lindh who are pseudointellectuals and possess not one degree of knowledge of that which they do until they are knee deep in it. People should start taking responsibility for their actions before and after. lucianne.com
