But Fox News are going to paint us as anti-american terrorist supporters
no matter what slogan we use. "We are all Hezbollah" is no worse from
that point of view than the most mealy-mouthed slogan one could come up
with. It's pointless thinking about what Fox News (and the right-wing
media more generally) will make of our slogans, they can't usefully be
the audience for left-wing demonstrations.
