"International Women's Strike" Manifesto Written by... Convicted Terrorist

"I'm sure Jake Tapper will be all over this. He's very fair to both sides and really tries to cover the left's bad behavior as well as the right's." -- a lot of nitwits flattered and PR-massaged by Tapper talking to them on Twitter and deciding that everything he does must be unbiased*

Instead of milling around Washington, organizers have in mind a "general strike" called the Day without a Woman. In a manifesto published in The Guardian on Feb. 6, the brains behind the movement are calling for a "new wave of militant feminist struggle." That’s right: militant, not peaceful.

The document was co-authored by, among others, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist. Odeh, a Palestinian, was convicted in Israel in 1970 for her part in two terrorist bombings, one of which killed two students while they were shopping for groceries. She spent 10 years in prison for her crimes. She then managed to become a US citizen in 2004 by lying about her past (great detective work, INS: Next time, use Google) but was subsequently convicted, in 2014, of immigration fraud for the falsehoods. However, she won the right to a new trial (set for this spring) by claiming she had been suffering from PTSD at the time she lied on her application. Oh, and in her time as a citizen, she worked for a while as an ObamaCare navigator.

You can see why sh'’s a hero to the left. Another co-author, Angela Davis, is a Stalinist professor and longtime supporter of the Black Panthers. Davis is best known for being acquitted in a 1972 trial after three guns she bought were used in a courtroom shootout that resulted in the death of a judge. She celebrated by going to Cuba.

A third co-author, Tithi Bhattacharya, praised Maoism in an essay for the International Socialist Review...

Just a bunch of everyday moms and teachers. No leftist political organization going on behind the scenes here at all.

* By the way, People Overly Flattered to be Tweeted to by Jake Tapper: Have you ever managed to actually get Tapper to change is coverage, or has he only succeeded in getting you to change your coverage of him?

Don't mistake vigorous PR brand-protection efforts for friendship or validation, guys.
