re: #194 eclectic infidel

Yeah, though I’m not one of the ‘key figures’ of our group either so even if there had been a counter demo, say, last week in SF, I still don’t think he’d recognize me. It was easy to blend in as well, just clap a few times, accept literature, smile and nod at the zombies. *burp* The Berkeley communists were there, I recognized them immediately but again, and fortunately, I was just another face in the crowd. I saw several Arabs there from past rallies but I didn’t see any tables from orgs such as AROC or Al-Awda, which is good.

It is. I really, really, resent those groups’ ability to attach to general lefty politics in our area, and somehow get swept into a general category of ‘oppressed suffering brown peoples of the world’.

I should probably get over it. It’s been going on since the late sixties at least.
