RE: Reporters without borders is a CIA front group

I think "reporters etc." is a CIA front. That's my opinion. More to the
point, that's how it acts, and that's how people who claim to be on the
left should treat it.
As I said earlier, that's all well and good if you're undertaking the rather
useless exercise of talking to yourself, or people who already agree with
you.
But, as you yourself just said to DMS:
And if we apply the same rule to participants, we can also save all the
expense of a sound system, organizing buses, etc.
So if you actually want to have people at our demonstrations, or even on the
platform, who don't agree with us, and you want them listening to what you
have to say and actually trying to pursuade them of your opinion, you'll
find that making assertions without evidence doesn't get you very far.
You should try visiting the KOS (http://www.dailykos.com) web site,
populated by liberal Democrats, or the Atrios site
(http://atrios.blogspot.com/), visited by similar progressive/liberals, both
with 35,000 or so visitors PER DAY
(http://www.truthlaidbear.com/TrafficRanking.php) and dozens and sometimes
hundreds of people posting comments on each news item, and take part in some
of the discussions there. See if you can persuade some of THOSE people of
your point of view, like the one's I just posted from yet another site
(Billmon/Whiskey Bar) on the upcoming demos, as I try to do. If you just
toss out a statement like "XYZ is a CIA front" you'll be torn to pieces, or
just ignored.
