World Can't Wait - Nut Jobs or Legitimate Protestors?
Submitted by Yankee_Blue on Fri, 08/04/2006 - 3:42pmWhile surfing the anti-Blue blogs, I came across World Can't Wait's website, in which they call for a massive protest on Oct. 5th.
They basically stand for doing something now about Bush and Company, before the 2008 election, and that Democrats will not save the country.
You can read the ad they took out in the New York Times yesterday here. (pdf)
So my question is this. Is this a legitimate avenue to express dissent against our current government? Or is it just of anarchist idiots trying to take advantage of democracy?
