Leftists hold "emergency" picket at Israeli consulate

Whereas I'm aware there is a war going on, I'm unclear on the meaning of an "emergency picket," but such an event occurred last night in downtown Chicago, as NBC 5 Chicago reports.

Here's who showed up:

The Chicago Coalition Against War & Racism, AFSC, ANSWER Chicago, the Gay Liberation Network, HammerHard MediaWorks, International Socialist Organization, the International Solidarity Movement (my note, Rachel Corrie's group), Chicago, Nicaragua Solidarity Committee, and Sankofa Way Spiritual Services.

In other words, the "usual gang of idiots."

The article on NBC 5 Chicago called the Israeli military action the "U.S.-endorsed Israeli war on Lebanon and Palestine."

Cutting and pasting from agenda-driven press releases??? Bad journalism.
