No, they don't have anything better to do. The Federalist Patriot, 05-38 Digest:

To those in the know, this Saturday is "S24" (i.e., 24 September), when over one thousand leftwing groups will descend on Washington for a "war protest." (Is it just us, or are these self-indulgent Angry Left minions being somewhat overshadowed by events in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast?)

A cameraman filming the first arriving buses caught something he'd missed before: He'd seen many of the protestors at hundreds of previous protests. "They're professional protesters!" he surmised.

Indeed these events are well-scripted productions rather than the spontaneous uprisings, CBS reports. "S24" is being produced by United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) and International Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER). ANSWER has close ties to the Marxist Workers World Party, Free Palestine Alliance, U.S.-Mexico Solidarity Foundation, Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada, Code Pink, and, of course, MoveOn.

Other "notables" at the protest include Punks for Peace, Queer to the Left, September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and Historians Against the War.

Scholar John J. Tierney declares the nucleus of the protesters is "ideologically very hard-core left;... anti-West, anti-capitalism and anti-American political culture. [They] cover a whole host of revolutionary causes, literally everywhere." Enterprising bus drivers should have turned south, and delivered these senseless mouth-foamers to the Gulf coast. Then again, not knowing how to do anything other than blather utter falsehoods and mindless propaganda, the protesters likely aren't any good for helping with relief efforts.
