#1 what a shame. A once great institution who helped people in dire need is now reduced to political hacks.

I look forward to the day when we get to see if there are connections to Soros, or other anti-us forces who have made a concerted effort to invade institutions like the Ford Foundation, some of our Universities, Amnesty, etc to co-opt the public and charity funds to use against the united states, or if this is all just a sad and sorry state set of a spoiled and over-pampered generation.

You look at Kerry, who aided and abetted the North Vietnamese and you wonder just how deep the rot goes. Did outside forces use these ambitious but weak individuals to permeate our institutions, or is it all just a sad sign of our times?

#2 I also saw on LGF that Mrs. Khan is also a muslem. Any chance of bias on her part? Nahhhhh....

#3 2B:

I believe that the anti-war movement in the 60s was funded in part by foreign governments, likely USSR, China or East Germany. We know now that top leadership in anti-war and leftist "movements" in the USA had met with the East German STASI in the 60s, and I believe the STASI may have been active agents for a foreign government.

If any of the above is true then the crimes committed then are still being comitted now, that is to say, a conspiracy is ongoing, which means if we can't get them for treason we can at least get them for any number of other laws NOW ON THE BOOKS, for giving aid and comfort to an armed enemy of the United States.

There has never been a satisfactory explanation how those people could take off work or whatever was in their lives to take part in the protests and all the other activities including seditious activities without receiving some sort of aid.

I seriosuly doubt that individuals in the US who gave to the anti-war movment in large amount were not funded by foreign governments.

After 40 years of actively trying to undermine our military efforts I want answers to these and related question because I believe the answers will prove my theory. I need to be proven one way or the other.

#4 I forgot:

A disclaimer:

I used to be a member of AI way back in the day before they became a fifth column "human rights" organization.

#5 Amnesty International Leaders helped Kerry

Birds of an American hating feather flock together. Or maybe I'm just not nuanced enough to understand Mssr. Kerry's approach to things.

#6 Badanov -- all the pro-Saddam "peace" marches were organized by ANSWER, the Stalinist front organization. I wouldn't be surprised if they were funded by China, France, Iran, and some of our other enemies.

#7 RC:
I thought the Workers World Party (aka ANSWER) was Trotskyite, rather than Stalinist. I can't keep My commies straight.

Of course, they're all murderous bastards. Probably even worse than the jihadis. They will at least let you live if you convert.

#8 frontpagemag.com had some good stuff awhile back about how many of these groups all operate out of the same offices in new york. The list of players between them was so incestuous and outright communist that it was very interesting. Code Pink, Rukas Society, Mothers against guns, Answer, move.on etc.

It's time that our government agencies stopped simply monitoring this ad nasuem and actually let the people of this country know about these groups.

I don't think that everyone who works for them is a communist or is even aware that they are useful idiots, but it's time we let the people know who is funing the progressive agenda.

#10 AI is the only 'political' organization I have ever been a member of. That makes 3 of the regulars ex-AI members (I think it was Desert Blondie who said yesterday she was). Interesting that 3 regulars come from a concern for individual human rights background, which is what AI used to stand for.

#11 I can't keep My commies straight.

Let me say that it is important that you see only the true path. You were joking right. Any kids?

#12 I have seen several arguments that Bush made AI a credible source by using AI reports that were critical of Cuba, NK etc.

Using AI was probably a mistake, but mostly the users were the State Department which sometimes seems to operate more as a lefty 527 than as an arm of the executive branch of the US Governament.
