CodePink/Global Exchange Brings Positive Olympic Torch

by Judy Christopher
CodePink/Global Exchange brought their own torches to the Olympic Torch Run in San Francisco. Dressed as pink Liberty Statues they stood for self-determination, workers rights, anti-sweatshop laws, and environmental protection while China, with it's tarnished human rights record, secretly ran the Olympic torch though San Francisco.

I'm starting to really tire of all the '' Pink'' stunts . Also the part about '' China , with it's tarnished human rights records ''just lends itself to China bashing especially when stated in the good old USA, the most powerful imperialist power in recorded history !
--- Some right wing troll jumps in , trying to exploit the differences among the left. So this Marty Davidson posts about ''commies'' ,(which had nothing to do with what Mona was trying to say )
Maybe we should ''retalilate''and troll right wing lists and drive them crazy with our ''commie ''posts !

No time for left wing activists to "troll" as do the right wing nuts. They are trolling the internet because they have few places else to express their unpopular views.
