Don't miss Byron York's look at the moonbats on parade in Washington over the weekend: "Inside the antiwar demo." York begins backstage with Ramsey Clark and finds some comic relief with Cynthia McKinney at the microphone: When Georgia Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney spoke to the crowd, she began by declaring that "a cruel wind blows across America." By that, she meant not a hurricane, but a wind that began "in Texas and Montana" — an apparent reference to George W. Bush's home state of Texas and Dick Cheney's home state of...well, his home state is Wyoming, but McKinney was fairly close.York also catches the unmistakable currents of anti-Semitism that have already addled McKinney's brain elsewhere on stage and in the crowd. I attended the March on Washington in the fall of 1969, and all I can think reading York's column is that "the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be," though gray is probably not the perfect color to represent either crowd. UPDATE: Sonny Bunch also covered the march for the Standard: "March of the conspiracy theorists." Lt. Smash observes the antiwar/anti-Semitism crossover at a march in San Diego: "Fracture lines." |
