If you have any doubt that many in the anti-war movement are traitors to their own country, carrying little about the soliders whose interest they claim to be looking out for, then visit this link:

http://www.michellemalkin.com

Scroll down a bit to the story "Portland Hates America" to exhume the link.

One sees these despicable displays throughout the blue states from time to time. Of course, some in attendance are just camp followers, druggies, wannabe hippies, and thrill-seekers.

But what was it that Stephen Stills, of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, once sang, alluding to Vietnam War protestors: "Young people speaking their minds, mostly saying hurray for our side..."

And if one looked closely at the video clips of the protestors who followed Bush in Latin America, one would notice a disproportionate number of big red banners by communists, socialists, and other left-wing idiots. Of course, none of the major TV networks bothers to point this bald fact out or the fact that thousands of counterprotest demonstrators comprised of veterans, most from the Vietnam and first Gulf War, were present in D.C. last weekend.

So what are your true colors? Can you differentiate between contempt for the war and contempt for the soldiers, or do you savor these sort of public displays, regardless of their impact on the boots on the ground and their families back home?

Crazy Canucks who frequent this forum, please do chime in. C'mon, defend this sort of thing. Give us a scolding about the need to honor freedom of speech, or how American troops deserve these displays.

ADDENDUM:

I neglected to mention that many in the leftist crowd yesterday in DC wanted to deface the memorials to the Vietnam veterans there (this would be the second defacement attempt in less than a year).

So in essence you are saying that to save freedom, we should take it away from some?

The title of your post reminds me of someone who would say all Catholic priests are pedophiles, because of the action of a minority of priests.
It is like saying someone also saying Karl Rove represents the thinking of all republicans. Also the words "crazy canucks" illustrates a certain anti-pathy vis-a-vis Canadians, and this is more of like a hack job, cheap attack of no real substance. Criticism is fine of people on the Left or Right or whatever, but let us dignify this forum with something of substance like polls, stats, being even handed towards either side, and enough of those posts over and over dealing with Islam when we've got India, Japan, Africa, and Europe. Some people seem to have some kind of political jihad or crusade going on in this forum. Let's just debate in a civil way and not try to use the forum for some kind of blatant propaganda scheme. We should be more mature than that. Please, Steve, you are too smart for this, I hope.

Exactly.

AMERICAN MODERATES WITH CONSERVATIVE LEANINGS SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS



(but yes, those protesters in the pictures are idiots)

Hey, can ya poke out the other eye on your avatar to match your blind posts. And isn't it interesting that you can't reject the offensive nature of protestors on the left as much as the right. The Klan is disgusting, yes, but it is the Leftists who are in the news nowadays and it is the Left that pretends to be protesting out of heartfelt concern for America (some do but as this thread link illustrates, far too many do not).

To ALL:

I said "many" leftists and my concern is not whether they have the right to protest but whether their protests are sincere. Claiming to protest the Iraq War out of love for country and concern for the soldiers seems pretty hollow coming from this group, given the fact that they accept these disgusting antics in the midst of their marches. Got it?

And my ire is directed at self-proclaimed leftists on this forum and in the national spotlight, including the liberals, who never denounce such displays. You can denounce the antics without denying them the right to make fools of themselves. And the press at least ought to report on counter demonstrations in the vicinity.

As Stills alluded to, they're more interested in the act of rallying to protest than in what they're protesting about.

And if I see one more banner of Che Guevarra, I'm going to puke.

I'll denounce the burning of a US soldier in effigy. And if it makes you feel better, I'll denounce the anarchists as well. Bunch of no good rabble rousers. Now where did you denounce the characterization of a US Senator, who served honorably in Vietnam, as a traitor?

Huh? I said I thought they were idiots. I agree that it's offensive. Got it?

I guess this was bait to get me to come out (no puns) and justify stevermcgarret's nonsense.

Well lets start with the source, I know that Michelle Malkin is probably Dean of Admissions at your uni (TooyA U.) but to the rest of use with some brain cells left she is a right-wing fruit bat. And not in the way that maybe I call some on this board who are just right leaning, Michelle Malkin is a right wing nutbar. She is the second in command (to Ann Coultour) screaming banshee of the right wing. Nothing she says or writes is worth more than Octavius' santorum on a Saturday night.

As for the protestors. The last time I checked they lived in the USA. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. And while I don't like many things about my brothers and sisters to the south of my border I will say this, their constitution and bill of rights (with the exception of the nutty gun provision, nobody's perfect) are probably the two most impotant and amazing government documents ever written. EVER. It is that which protects people and their RIGHT to be obnoxious. PERIOD.

What it doesn't protect is a president who lies, companies that war profiteer, and vice-presidents who out covert operatives. But as long as we are talking about some morons who carry idiotic placards then all must be ok.


As for the Vietnam war memorial being desicrated let's see a link please, cause that smells like right-wing BS (much like returning soldiers being spat on buy hippies, which never happened).

I think I'll start addressing McGarette as "Back to the Future".

He sure ain't no "progressive" conservative and reminds me of all those upper level bureaucrats taking tea and complaining about the "nuisance" of bloody protests and how it slowed their journey to work.
Meanwhile around them Rome was burning. (this happened throughout history, pick your time, era, empire, century)

Head in the sand and oblivious to the march of time. Everything privledge, order and "it was so much better back then".

When is Steve going to announce his run for presidency?
Come on Steve your country needs you. Time to drive all those snakes out of the promised land. Then we can have a special St.Steve's day where we can spit on Canadians and homosexuals then burn a hippy.

Steve, you did it. You got the lefties to come out of the woodwork. A couple of commies, a terrorist loving PC loon and a militant homosexual have all decided to join in.

See, the problem with these people is that they cant differentiate between anything. Ill be the first to admit I dont support the war. I think the decision was the wrong one (Iran SHOULD have been target #1 from the start). But thats over and done now. These "people" spit on those doing their duty. These libs wouldnt understand "conviction", "honor" or "duty" if their lives depended on it.

Don't worry about us not knowing these things, its the fact that the US president and VP don't know these things. Thats the real problem.

I'm not sure if you're referring to John Murtha, the ex-Marine, but if so it was inexcusable for any politician to smear him. Glad to see you're at least on board on this issue.

Octavius and others:

I know you guys want to paint me as a Republican but time and again I've said I'm not. Nor am I a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. As for Malkin, she attended the veterans march and reported on it, which is more than I can say for CNN and the three liberal networks. And the vets had far more in attendance. Bad journalism at its best, but not surprising.

You reveal your contempt for the vets by spending a long post ranting about the current administration rather than these protestors. You mention them only in passing. Your omission in itself speaks volumes.

The point, Dr. Hite, is not whether they have the right to protest, but the manner in which they do so. I'm not calling for a commission to be formed on protest etiquette. But their actions belie their posturing to show concern. That's my bone of contention. Now you can go back to your bone.

I'm not obligated to dig up this info. But it happened a while back and almost happened again. Why do you think the National Park Service now requires visitors to register in a tent before they go to see the memorial? Duh. Years ago when I visited that wasn't necessary. How sad.

gang ah jee:

Ow. ow. A double-whammy: Che and Cobain, two losers together on the same T-shirt. I'll bet half the people who sport them no next to nothing about Che or his relationship with Castro.

ddeubel:

What sort of ddrivel is that? Please change your avatar to Che Guevarra.

ED209:

Naw, I wouldn't burn a hippie. Just have them plant flowers in gardens along the highways in honor of Lady Bird Johnson.
