But I don't lie.\r\n\r\nI am not infallible. No one is.  But when I publish an article or post a comment, it is the truth as I know it at the time.  If I later find out I am in error, I am the first to admit it. So if you are waving that broad brush around, stay away from me.\r\n\r\nNOTE TO TO BE OR NOT TO BE:  As I said before, I was there at the DNK2K in LA.  I can confirm pretty much everything Chance Martin said about Ted Hayes and the Dome Village National Homeless Convention.\r\nYour link really took me back to the surreal sights and sounds at Dome Village that week.  However, they were kind enough to let me take a shower there.\r\n\r\nI'd like to correct one point. Hayes led a march of homeless people to &quot;the pit&quot; as part of the only permitted march that evening.  As the head of that march, he walked his group into the LAPD police riot, with rubber bullets, tear gas, police horses, and cops swinging batons.\r\n\r\nTed was struck in the chest with a bean bag gun and was briefly treated at a local hospital afterwards.  Later, he blamed two kids on the fence who threw EMPTY water bottles over the fence towards hundreds of cops in front of the Staples center, for triggering the riot and exonerated the police.\r\n\r\nThat's Ted Hayes for you.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","author":"Becky Johnson","parent_id":177906,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2006-09-18 01:53:23","modified":"2006-09-18 01:53:23","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2006\/09\/ted_hayes_as_uncle_sam.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2006\/09\/ted_hayes_as_uncle_sam.jpg"}},{"id":178860,"heading":"How will she attempt to squirm out of this one?","article":"BECKY's quote:&quot;nor do I have any connections with &quot;pro-Israel Republicans&quot; or pro-Israel Democrats either.

The elderly organizer of the event was physically threated- when that didn't stop the spunky  Dachau survivor, they threatened her grandchildren.   When threats and intimidation failed to prevent  Jerusalem Bus 19 from making its way to Berkeley  there were numerous attempts to disrupt the actual event.\r\nNonetheless, it was a resounding sucess, and the broad coalition of Christians, Jews and Hindus that brought Bus 19 to Berkeley  have been working together ever since.\r\nI am proud to have played a role in that event.
