Brian Becker - Air date: 02-02-04

Brian Becker. The National coordinator for the A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, is a long term Anti War and Racism Activist. On Saturday, September 15, 2007, the ANSWER Coalition, a progressive antiwar group, sponsored a Mass March and Die-In in Washington, D.C. Its purpose was to raise the consciousness of enough people in this country to stop the illegal and immoral Iraq War and to prevent the Bush-Cheney Gang from launching a war against Iran. The rally took place in Lafayette Park, just north of the White House, where a number of prominent speakers were heard. One of the speakers was Brian Becker, National Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition. He predicted that the people "will mobilize" and that the next antiwar rally set for set for late October, 2007, may bring "one million" demonstrators to the Nation's Capital. Mr. Becker denounced the White House, the U.S. Congress and the Pentagon as being "an axis of evil." He labeled the Iraq War: "a criminal war of aggression." Mr. Becker was later arrested at the Capitol for crossing a police line. For additional details, and updates, on the Sept. 15th rally, and for the exact number of arrests, please see: www.ANSWERCoalition.org

@policestory

Laughable. Just keep vomiting up that Stalinist propaganda.

[policestory]

@jeffmagic32 No. No it's not. The Ukraine events were propagated by the Nazi's and William Hearst, of the Hearst Corporation.

@policestory

The mass murder of millions and millions of people by Stalin is a fact.

I LIVED UNDER SOCIALISM MY ENTIRE LIFE!! YOU ARE ONLY HELPING THE US PROPAGANDA MACHINE ! SOCIALISM IS THE PARENT OF BOTH COMMUNIST AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES.

Socialism was greater.....make no mistake about it. Many people talk without being part of it! i was and i miss it. Fuck the democracy of a world where they have the right to listen to your conversations and what is worse is that we pay for the costs. We have the right to remain silent! That said it all.

[policestory]

@jeffmagic32 Well, most events relating to the Ukraine were outright lies.

@policestory

Travel to the Ukraine and ask the people there about your hero Stalin.

[policestory]

@jeffmagic32 Get over it.

@policestory

"a mixed view at Stalin". Enough said.

[policestory]

@jeffmagic32 Well, as a member myself of the same party that he's in with (not Workers World), I can tell you that he takes a very mixed view at Stalin. So, you lose and you dont know what you're talking about.
