Boots Riley & Peace Ad Booted



'Peace' activists are mad because a New York radio station (WQHT) decided against running one of their 'controversial' ads. NY Daily News reported on it and Michelle Malkin added this:
"The one-minute spot was cut by musician Boots Riley for a coalition of progressive groups and individuals called The World Can't Wait, Drive Out the Bush Regime. Promoting a noon rally in Union Square today, it says, "Bush made torture into a sport and justifies it. ... We all watched Bush leave people to die in New Orleans. ... This regime is what's criminal. The organizers should be grateful the ad isn't running."
Who's Boots Riley? Michelle included a picture of this son of a Black Panther leader partying in front of a picture of the World Trade Center being blown up. (This is the cover of one of his rap albums - he's on the right).


By the way, November 17 & 18th anti-war, anti-recruitment CODE PINK activists are staging a national "No Militarization of Youth! Not Your Soldier Student Day of Action" and National Stand Down Day. This is our subject for the next WOMANTalk show on "Women & War" on November 11th for Veterans Day.
