A leading anti-Iraq war group is advertising a plan to storm the White House next month and "take it over" until the Bush administration vacates the premises.

United for Peace and Justice, which claims to represent 1,300 local and national anti-war organizations, has a page on its site advertising the March 15 action.

"We are taking over the White House until they leave," the announcement says.

3. I just went to the United site, and there's nothing there about this.
Here:

BTW, that original source is usually right-wing and suspect.

8. Yes, it is advertised on their site - BUT....
it does say on the page that the
"Events listed are not necessarily endorsed or organized by UFPJ."

UFPJ is primarily promoting local events for the dates bracketing the 3rd anniversary of the war that never should have been.

9. My sister works for Homeland Security; it's UFPJ not ANSWER!
Yeah, they plan for stuff like this. They have undercover agents, hidden cameras, the works. And protesters are their most prime suspects a lot of the time.

And I'm suprised if UFPJ would do this; this is much more ANSWER-ish.

14. This is BS
This is not only a reallly bad idea, but stinks of someone putting mock events up to give a bad name to the peace movement.

The link right underneath is "ANTI-WAR OR ANTI-AMERICA? Exposing the violent, revolutionary leadership of today's 'peace' movement"

x( idiots.

16. As much as I sympathize . . .
. . . trying such things only strengthens the forces of repression, makes the right's "they're all a bunch of crackpot weirdos so nothing they say deserves to be heard" argument.
