Irony: Anti-War Protester Screams Pro-Gitmo Woman Should be ‘Hanged’

We’ve already brought you one video from the weekend anti-war/Occupy Wall St. protest in Chicago. Now we have another gem.
Blogger Rebel Pundit again caught up with a protester in the middle of the march. This time, he interviewed a man who was quite upset that a counter-protester had a sign supporting the U.S. prison in Cuba, Guantanamo Bay.
“You should be hanged for treason right there!” the video shows the man yelling as he marches. He then points out a woman holding a sign that says “Gitmo Love.“ When pushed on if he actually thinks she should be ”hanged,” the man backs off a little, and says, “maybe not hanged, but she is a treason.” Still, he then goes on to explain that people who commit treason should be killed.
Rebel Pundit explains:
We caught up with this anti-war protester on Saturday. He was shouting “die and hang” to a woman holding sign supporting Gitmo. He was afraid we were with Fox News and we might only use snippets of the interview, so we decided it was best to let you hear most of his thoughts.
But wait, there’s more. Rebel Pundit noticed the man was carrying a socialist worker sign and asked if he supported socialism and communism. The man responded:
“Socialism means a democratic– before the Soviet Union, before that word got perverted and corrupted, socialism meant democracy over the work place, and I believe in the original definition of having democratic ownership over your work place, over the economy.”
He also defines patriotism as dissent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The phrase “People of the United States” has sometimes been understood to mean “citizens.” This approach reasons that, if the political community speaking for itself in the Preamble (“We the People”) includes only citizens, by negative implication it specifically excludes non-citizens in some fashion. It has also been construed to mean something like “all under the sovereign jurisdiction and authority of the United States.” The phrase has been construed as affirming that the national government created by the Constitution derives its sovereignty from the people, (whereas “United Colonies” had identified external monarchical sovereignty) as well as confirming that the government under the Constitution was intended to govern and protect “the people” directly, as one society, instead of governing only the states as political units.

Posted on October 10, 2011 at 3:17pmThanks for the quote. The preamble is great although you seem to be willing to admit a lot of shades of gray to that whole “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” bit. Not to mention you are making my point. It says “people” in the Preamble, not “citizens” or “non-Indian residents”. That would include “people” taken from all around the globe and brought under US jurisdiction for purposes of detention and torture. Just because you wish that the preamble said “citizens” or even “christian, native-born, citizens of European descent” doesn’t make it say that. You at least could of found the parts of the Constitution that had the word “citizen” in it. You would find that it is really only used to describe people eligible for national, elected office and has nothing to do with guaranteeing rights to citizens only.
How do you reconcile championing free speech with the imprisonment of “people” without charges or a trial?

I realize that responding to someone who is ignoring the fact that those held at Gitmo are not “people of the United States” (indeed they would be deeply offended if you suggested that, would reject such a label and try to kill you for suggesting it) but let’s try it.
To be a person “of the United States” I would presume that they would WANT to be a person of the United States and would be willing to follow its laws as promulgated under the Constitution. The fact that these individuals have come under the military’s control while under suspicion of fighting against our armed forces and are now held in a FOREIGN location is secondary to their desire to a person of anything other than the United States.
Let’s assume we ignore that and say that we would extend our protections to them, the location does matter. Gitmo is part of Cuba. We occupy it as a military base under a lease. Many Democrats tried to argue that McCain wasn‘t a citizen because he wasn’t born in America (he was born in the Canal Zone). Can’t have it both ways.
So let’s summarize, you want to extend the protections of the “people of the United States” to those who don’t want to be “of the United States” who are not actually IN the United States. I‘m sorry but it just doesn’t make any sense to me. That would seem to be a massive case of political imperialism and an assumption that our political system trumps any other in the world.

Posted on October 10, 2011 at 8:16pmThe peace activist said, “We live in 1984”. He should realize he is a “Prol” and re-read the book from that perspective.
George Orwell wrote in the book 1984:
“The destruction of words is a beautiful thing.”
‘Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it…
In today’s parlance, a thoughtcrime is saying or thinking something that is not politically correct. Now, the destruction of words is through misuse. Here are a few words the peace activist misused.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Fascism: centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Socialism: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods; there is no private property
“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”. This quote is misattributed to Thomas Jefferson. Howard Zinn made this quote in 2002.
George Orwell wrote the following: “The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”
