SPRING HILL - In the end, there were no arrests.There was some finger-pointing and excited shouting, but that was the limit of the drama at a protest Wednesday outside U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite's office in Spring Hill. The high noon rally was the culmination of a weeklong showdown between Brian Moore and the Brooksville Republican's staff.
Moore, chairman of the NatureCoast Coalition for Peace and Justice, was pushing for the right to protest outside Brown-Waite's doors on Spring Hill Drive. She moved months ago from the downtown courthouse to provide more handicap access to her constituents, according to staff. READ FULL ARTICLE

PROTESTERS BOW TO LANDLORD, SET UP ON ROAD
http://hernandonewssource.com/
After first setting up in front of Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite's office on private leasehold property along Spring Hill Drive, local Socialist Brian Moore and about a dozen protesters politely moved to the Spring Hill Drive right of way Wednesday as requested by two Hernando County sheriff's deputies.
At first, the media almost outnumbered the protesters, as Moore and friends lined up in front of Brown-Waite's office.
When a representative of landlord Regency Oak warned Moore and others to leave the property, Moore disputed his right to do so, on the basis of the public use of the office by a federal representative, and initially stood his ground.
As dead-tree media reporters scribbled, Moore's tune began to change when a deputy arrived to enforce a previous trespass warning.
And when a second deputy arrived, Moore and about a dozen other protesters reluctantly headed for the right of way adjacent to the leased buildings.
Moore has complained that the right of way is dangerous and gives them no safe place to protest the Congresswoman's policies. Wednesday's protest was aimed specifically at health care reform. Moore said the flags his group waved represented the countries around the world that have adopted single-payer systems.

Brian Moore sees two choices. He can take his protest to the road and risk getting flattened by traffic. Or he can stage a rally on private property and take the chance of getting arrested.
At this juncture, Moore's leaning towards "civil disobedience." Chair of the NatureCoast Coalition for Peace and Justice, Moore asked for permission last week to hold a two-hour protest outside the offices of U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Brooksville. READ FULL ARTICLE...

WEEKI WACHEE, Florida, May 30, 2007 - No arrest was made when a detective finished his investigation of an angry veteran who stormed through an anti-war protest in Weeki Wachee last month.
But charges could still be filed.
Brian Moore, who organized the demonstration, said he wants to work things out with the 32-year-old suspect, Forrest Fogarty. But if Fogarty shows no remorse and refuses to offer a public apology, Moore plans to press criminal mischief charges.

HANNITY'S 'TREE OF LIBERTY' BEARS BOGUS FRUIT
[Getting to Know the Socialist Party USA]
By: Berry Craig
May 18th, 2009 @ 11:31 am
(excerpted)
The Republicans started knocking Obama as a “socialist” on the campaign trail last year, hoping to scare voters to their man, McCain. Obama clobbered McCain.
Since he was inaugurated, the president’s approval ratings have been way up, according to polls. The same surveys show the GOP is popularity-challenged.
The polls don’t rate Brian P. Moore, last year’s Socialist Party U.S.A. presidential candidate. Moore got only 6,528 votes, according to the Federal Election Commission.
But the GOP’s “socialist” slam on Obama is grabbing Moore some press. He has been on the Colbert Report and C-Span insisting Obama isn’t a socialist. He’s been saying the same thing on the radio and in other media, too.
Moore claims Obama isn’t even a liberal. He says the president is a “centrist.”

"Rallies planned Wednesday for health care, taxation"
Old Courthouse Will Be Epicenter of Free Speech
By TONY MARRERO
Demonstrators determined to speak up about two separate issues will descend Wednesday on the county seat.
The historic courthouse in downtown Brooksville will be the site of two unrelated rallies, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Both rallies hit on raw nerves for many Americans: taxation and health care.
Supporters of a single-payer health care system will assemble from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. outside U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite's office in the old courthouse, 20. N. Main St. .......
Demonstrators seek to put pressure on Congress to approve HR 676, said Brian Moore, chairman of the peace coalition. The bill, dubbed United States National Health Care Act would create a publicly financed, privately delivered health care system that expands the already existing Medicare program to all U.S. residents.

"Obama's No Socialist. I Should Know."

Sunday, March 15, 2009
It took a massive global financial crisis, a failed military adventure and a popular repudiation of the Republican Party to make my national television debut possible. After 15 years of socialist political organizing -- everything from licking envelopes and handing out leaflets to the more romantic task of speaking at street demonstrations -- I found myself in the midtown Manhattan studio of the Fox Business Network on a cold February evening. Who ever thought that being the editor of the Socialist magazine, circulation 3,000, would launch me on a cable news career?

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's usual allies are not impressed with the Republican senator's suggestion that the time might have come to start nationalizing banks.
"Did hell just officially freeze over?" grumbled Fox News host Stuart "I am refugee from (British socialism)" Varney, "A top Republican senator says he is open to nationalizing our banks..."
So opened a segment where Varney welcomed Brian Moore, the Socialist Party's 2008 presidential candidate, to the cable redoubt of yahoo economics.
Moore agreed with Comrade Graham's prognosis.
Varney did not.
And it made for a bizarre (yet oddly refreshing) five minutes of something akin to debate about the current economic crisis.

SOCIALIST AGREES WITH U.S. REPUBLICAN SENATOR IN 'NATIONALIZING THE BANKS'
GOP senator under fire for 'nationalizing the banks' comment. Socialist Brian Moore concurs with nationalization idea on television's Fox News Program
Tampa Bay, Florida, Monday, February 16, 2009
Stuart Varney of Fox News and Brian Moore, Socialist Party of America.
Click here to view the video of the interview provided on the Fox News website.(first 30 seconds ad, please be patient)
Brian Moore, the former presidential candidate for the socialist Party USA in 2008, appeared on FoxNews.com TV's Neil Cavuto's program, today, Monday, February 16, 2009, in response to Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina's statement on a Sunday ABC talk show that he supports 'nationalizing the banks.'
Brian Moore says he agrees.
Fox News TV's substitute host, British born Stuart Varney, in for regular host Neil Cavuto of "Your World" business' Monday program, interviewed Socialist Brian Moore, in an aggressive exchange that covered four and one-half minutes on the Fox News TV's Business program Monday afternoon.
Host Varney, an obvious immigrant from England, immediately questioned Moore if he had ever lived in a socialist country. He attacked Moore because of his (Varney's) "own personal experience with socialism" saying that socialism was "awful" and a "moral construct" and that under socialism "favored groups" gained all the benefits at the expense of everyone else. Moore countered that "capitalism has sapped our society, not socialism."
Moore exclaimed that "possibly $2.5 trillion of taxpayer and worker's money may have already been allocated to American banks, in the form of a bailout, by our federal government through the private actions of Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
In response to Varney's accusation that "politicians will decide on how the money is distributed under socialism," Moore countered that to the contrary, "We believe that the financial system of the country should be managed by an independent democratically controlled financial commission, made up of consumers, accountants and economists, who would set policy and distribute loans through cooperatives, credit unions and state-run banks. Moore said, to the contrary, Socialism would "de-centralize government, not enhance it."
Moore's stated after the television interview that his strong statement and high figure of 2.5 trillion dollars is seldom mentioned on television or in the press despite the suspicion amongst congress and the fourth estate that "we may be in the Great Depression right now, directly due to Mr. Bernanke's quiet and early actions, under the guise of the Federal Reserve, plus capitalism's own irresponsible and greedy actions."
Fox News Host Varney exclaimed that "America survived the depression due to capitalism, and not due to socialism and communism." Varney also said that Under socialism, "money is controlled by favored groups, not the free market, and decided by a Politburo." Moore immediately criticized capitalism, and defended socialism stating that America "survived the depression due in part to the acceptance of social programs (child labor laws, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, government work programs, collective bargaining, etc. advocated by the Socialist Party. Moore added that these programs were reluctantly, but ultimately, embraced by both the Democrats and Republicans during the Depression period. Moore contended that it was because of those socialist programs that the country "partially improved its economic situation."

However, the former socialist presidential candidate in 2008 said that the Stimulus Bill is "the wrong action to take" and predicted that the $828 billion package approved by the U.S. Senate today, and Treasury Secretary Geithner's economic plans for the banks and investors, are both "doomed to fail."

DONALD TRUMP AND THE SOCIALISTS VERSUS THE CEOs
posted by John Nichols on February 6, 2009 @ 5:17pm
There has been a good deal of grumbling from Wall Street about President Obama's proposal to cap CEO pay at companies that accept federal bailout money.
The line of complaint generally comes around to the question: "How can you get good help for $500,000?
Donald Trump--who knows a thing or two about attracting executive talent, or at least plays someone who does on TV -- thinks that's silly.
The other night, CNN's Larry King asked the Trump Organization CEO what he thought about the president's plan to set some executive pay limits:
KING: Is Obama right or wrong to go after these executives with salary caps?
TRUMP: Well, I think he's absolutely right. Billions of dollars is being given to banks and others. You know, once you start using taxpayer money, it's a whole new game. So I absolutely think he's right.
The Socialists agree.
Here's a statement from Brian Moore, who was the Socialist Party candidate for president last year--and who made the very good point that, despite what Sarah Palin said, Barack Obama was neither a capital "S" nor a small "s" socialist: READ MORE...
