I just read that American war protesters are buring effigies of
American soldiers on American soil! Once again, American soldiers
are
trapped in between a radical left public and their duty. Thanks a
lot
you hippie scumbag protesters. We need a few more Kent States to
clear
up this hippie style scum. As always the American people have
turned
on our troops. Maybe they'll see the light when America's armed
forces
turns upon an ungrateful citizenry.

Where did you "read" this? I'll bet you made it up! If it did
really happen, it certainly would have been the act of a few on the
lunatic fringe. Before you associate them with anyone of the
"left" or "liberal" persuasion you would have to include the acts
of the right-wing fringe such as Tim McVeigh as part of the
conservative, right wing mainstream.

I defy you to produce a link to this event.

Hey, stupid! It's on Drudge.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the pictures on Drudge are from four
years ago, before Iraq. There was a large protest, part of the world
wide anti-war protest on Feb 15, 2003.

Perhaps I was mistaken - there was a protest in Portland yesterday.
However, there was no mention in the Portland paper of a burning in
effigy. The writeup described it as a peaceful protest. Of the
hundred pictures posted, there is one that might have been the
aftermath of such an event. However, it was not the central focus of
the demonstration, and there was no news coverage of it at all.
Claiming that this singular event, if it occurred at all, is
representative of the entire liberal half of the population is
shameful.


I hear it said all the time, "Why don't peace-loving Muslims denounce
the Islamic terrorists?" It is asked because you don't hear peace-loving
Muslims denounce Islamic terrorist. It's because, for the most part,
they don't denounce terrorists because they're fellow Muslims.

The same question can be asked of Democrats. "Why don't moderate
Democrats denounce the left-wing, soldier-effigy-burning radical
leftists?" I don't hear you denounce them. I do hear you denounce the
person who brought up the subject. This leads me to believe you support
these flag burning, effigy burning, military bashing fascists. You
haven't said otherwise and I'm willing you will not be able to find it
within yourself to say. "I hate these radical peacenik leftist assholes.
I hate it that they give Democrats a bad name. I don't want anything to
do with them. I denounce their unpatriotic activities. Real Democrats
don't act like they do." You can't say it because you identify with
them.
