Here's a snipet:

"But only one newspaper, to its credit, reported that illegal aliens and their supporters' boycott of the national economy on the First of May is clear evidence that radical elements have seized control of the movement. The Washington Post, alone among national papers, reported that ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) has become an active promoter of the national boycott.

Some illegal immigration and open borders activists in the Hispanic community are deeply concerned about the involvement of the left-wing radical group. But others, like Juan Jose Gutierrez, whom I've interviewed a number of times over the past several months, manages to be both director of Latino Movement USA and a representative of ANSWER.

As Gutierrez told us on my show, "The time has come...where we need to stand up and make a statement. We need to do what the American people did when they pulled away from the British crown. And I am sure that back in those days many people were concerned that was radical action."

Just how significant is the impact of leftists within the illegal immigration movement? It is no accident that they chose May 1 as their day of demonstration and boycott. It is the worldwide day of commemorative demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and even anarchic organizations."


And the Leftists here wonder why we're concerned about the Left as a movement!

They don't care. They don't think this is important at all, but then again, it just one more chance to stick it to this administration, so I'm sure they are all for it, even if it is socialists and communists organizing these rallys.

I really think some do care.

But things like personal history and loyalty and not liking some of the shenanigans that some Reps have pulled does keep them from forsaking the Left.
But those people do tend to be more Liberal than Left, no matter what they call themselves.

"Kelo" (the effecitve abolition of purely private property by the Supreme Court) is a good way to help people leave the Left. The right to property is in practice gone until that ruling is overturned. It was the Liberals and Leftists that did it to us.

That will be hard since most will not even admit that the liberals on the court ruled in favor of confiscation. They say its a conservative ruling.

Doesn't take much to find with Google.

The Gitmo case is another goodie.
All the Leftists and one liberal voted to give the rights of citizens to the Gitmo detainees. Talk about dminishing the meaning of citizenship!
(One lib voted with the conservatives.)

The fact that the organizers of the event picked May Day to stage it, speaks volumes in my opinion.

Many of the workers at the Manufacturing facility I work at (about 80%) took the day off. Management, to its credit, didn't discipline any of workers that didn't show. It was best just to let it go, Rambo.
