Tonight! Conservative group to protest Berkeley celebrating (alleged) Wikileaks leaker

Alert the local TV news crews, because here’s an early Christmas present, Visuals Division: A conservative group — with links to the Tea Party — will be in Berkeley Tuesday night to protest its City Council thinking of celebrating the Army private accused of leaking the WikiLeaks documents.
As Comrade Jones told us, Berkeley’s Peace and Justice Commission (yes, yes, we know, “sooo Berkeley”) recommended the city pass a resolution lauding Private Bradley Manning “for his courage in bringing the truth to the American people and the people of the world.”
That is the same commission that called the U.S. Marine Corps “unwanted intruders” in 2008 for opening a recruiting station in town.
Swooping into Berkeley tonight will be the faithful from Move America Forward, a conservative organization founded by Melanie Morgan, the former KSFO morning show co-host and Tea Party activist. Natch, they’re unhappy about this.
“If Manning did indeed leak thousands of sensitive documents to Wikileaks, then he has directly endangered the lives of American troops, and he is a TRAITOR, NOT a HERO!” said Move America Forward’s Danny Gonzalez. He’ll be in Berkeley tonight, carting a bunch of petition signatures against the Manning love.
…………..
Medea Benjamin v Melanie Morgan…this is what democracy looks like.

But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene is far wider than Flint, Michigan. This is a newly released DVD.
