Actress Redgrave Launches Rights Party
2004-11-28
Actress Vanessa Redgrave, her foolish brother and the father of a Guantanamo terrorist detainee on Saturday launched a new political party devoted to generating lots of publicity for Vanessa human rights. The Peace and Progress Party says it will field mouthpieces candidates and endorse useful idiots politicians with strong leftist credentials human rights records in the next general election. Organizers discussed the party's mind-numbing platform and doomed strategies at a conference that drew several hundred rubes and simple-minded rustics people. ``Our goal is to smash capitalism ring the alarm bells about the human rights abuses our government is sanctioning, and to install the dictatorship of the proletariat act as a focus for people who want to stand up against them,'' said Vanessa Redgrave's brother, political wanker activist Corin Redgrave.

Redgrave suggested four British terrorist prisoners at Guantanamo Bay could run as propaganda talking points party candidates, as a means of blubbering protesting against their rightful detention and the non-existent alleged human rights abuses at the prison on a U.S. naval base in Cuba. ``It could be one highly effective way of demonstrating the extent of their foolishness sending a message through the polls,'' Corin Redgrave said, recalling how the Irish nationalist cause was buoyed when the 1980s hunger-striking terrorist prisoner Bobby Sands was elected to Parliament.
Always useful to compare your fledgling party to an IRA terrorist. Lets everyone know where you stand on 'human rights'.
Working for the release or fair trial of terrorist prisoners in Guantanamo Bay will be a useful distraction focus for the group, said Azmat Begg, whose evil son, Moazzam Begg, is one of four terrorists Britons held at the prison in Guantanamo Bay. ``The mainstream political parties have correctly shown no interest in the human rights abuses going at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq,'' Begg said. ``That's why a party based on human rights as its major distraction its central issue is so vital as a cat's paw for Vanessa.'' Other speakers at Saturday's conference included Burns Weston, a useful idiot and president of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights, and prominent Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a vocal Chechnyan sympatheizer critic of Russia's military campaign against separatist terrorists rebels in Chechnya.
