An anti-war activist dressed as the Grim Reaper demonstrates in front of the White House in Washington July 3, 2006. Activist Cindy Sheehan and ‘CODEPINK’ launched ‘Troops Home Fast,’ a hunger strike to protest the war.

Wild Thing’s comment……Are you feeling bloated, a little overweight?
Is it getting harder and harder to do the antiwar peacenik walks and the long hours of standing on the road near the President’s home in Texas?
Is your CODE Pink t-shirt more snug then it was when you first bought it with your money from welfare?
Are all those fast food meals that George Soros buys for you to keep you holding up your “hate the troops” signs, adding on those extra pounds?
Have no fear……..Hollyweird has the answer……it is the new and improved Diet for socialists, communists and traitors to America. ( Democrats)
The old version, established by Dick Gregory, (has been comedian and whatever the hell he was) that came out during the Vietnam war has been upgraded. It no longer comes with your own LSD. Nor is it delivered by a flower painted beat up van, and shower deprived drivers with burned out brain dead sidekicks passing out daises along the route.
This new and improved diet is the Aider and Abettors Diet manufactured by Democrats and advertised for free by the Media. You didn’t think a Democrat would pay for anything did you?
But wait it gets better…….the organizers are calling for a “rolling fast.” This is when “fasters” take turns “fasting.” Secondly, one of the touted supporters is sponsoring a picnic on the day the “fast” begins with a picnic called the Willie Picnic (after Willie Nelson).

US stars align in anti-Iraq war hunger strike

Star Hollywood actor-activists including Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon and anti-war campaigners led by bereaved mother Cindy Sheehan plan to launch a hunger strike, demanding the immediate return of US troops from Iraq.
As Americans get set to fire up barbeques in patriotic celebration of US Independence Day on July 4, anti-war protestors planned to savour a last meal outside the White House, before embarking on a ‘Troops Home Fast’ at midnight.

“We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch, we’ve even gone to jail, now it’s time to do more,” said Sheehan, who emerged as an anti-war icon after losing her 24-year-old son Casey in Iraq.

The hunger strike was the latest bid by the US anti-war movement to grab hold of American public opinion, after numerous marches, vigils and political campaigns.
Despite polls which show the Iraq war is unpopular and many Americans are skeptical of President George W. Bush’s wartime leadership, peace protests have not hit the opinion-swaying critical mass seen during Vietnam War.

“We have been continually sheltered from the actual cost of war from the beginning,” said Meredith Dearborn, of human rights group Global Exchange, explaining how anti-Iraq war protests have stuttered.

While 2,526 US soldiers have died since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures, the impact of the deaths has rarely dominated headlines.
While it is not unusual to see an Iraq-war veteran or amputee in an airport for instance, or newspaper features on horrific injuries inflicted by roadside bombs in Iraq, the United States hardly feels like a nation at war.
Some protestors and experts in public opinion put that down to the absence of the Vietnam War style conscription draft, which means only professional soldiers or reservists can be sent off to war.

“We have done everything we could think of to end this war, we have protested, held marches, vigils … lobbied, written letters to Congress,” said Dearborn.

“Now it is time to bring the pain and suffering of war home. We are putting our bodies on the line for peace.”

Perhaps the only time the anti-Iraq war movement captured lasting coverage was in August 2005, when Sheehan and supporters pitched camp outside Bush’s Texas ranch, where the president habitually stays in high summer.
Even then, the fiercely partisan debate unleashed may have harmed Sheehan, who faced fierce fire from conservative groups and radio talk show hosts, as much as it hurt the Bush administration’s image over Iraq.
The hunger strike will see at least four activists, Sheehan, veteran comedian and peace campaigner Dick Gregory, former army colonel Ann Wright and environmental campaigner Diane Wilson launch serious, long-term fasts.

“I don’t know how long I can fast, but I am making this open-ended,” said Wilson.

Other supporters, including Penn, Sarandon, novelist Alice Walker and actor Danny Glover will join a ‘rolling” fast, a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade.

So far the lastest doing this are: Fasters now include Cindy Sheehan; actress Susan Sarandon, environmentalist Diane Wilson; comedian Dick Gregory; singer Willie Nelson; Dr. Bob Edgar, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches; Dr. E. Faye Williams, National Chair of the National Congress of Black Women; Colonel Ann Wright; Iraq veteran Geoffrey Millard; Kim Gandy, President of the National Organization for Women; and CODEPINK cofounders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans and Gael Murphy.
