So Much for "Support the Troops, not the War" (Ithaca leftist supports attacks on soldiers)

Today's Ithaca Journal has a letter to the editor from Miriam Rice, supporting terrorist attacks on U.S. soldiers:

If the United States is ever invaded and occupied by a more powerful country ... it is likely that Americans will fight back in self-defense.

Should this happen, will [the media] call those who fight to defend the independence of the United States "rebels" and "insurgents?" I don't think so. And yet that is exactly how it and other media refer to Iraqi citizens fighting to regain control of their country after an unprovoked attack by the United States. I find these words not only inaccurate but morally offensive.

Were the U.S. Army not in Iraq, these people would not be fighting us. It would be more suitable to refer to them as "the Iraqi resistance."

Speaking of "more suitable," perhaps it would be more suitable to refer to Ms. Rice as "Baghdad Miriam"....or even "evil, traitorous skank"?

City of Evil bump:

[Arkinsaw]

These idiots continuously make moral comparisons between the US and our enemies. She neglects to mention that if the US were invaded we would be fighting back for freedom, democracy, and decent values....where the terrorists in Iraq are fighting for the re-imposition of tyranny and hate.

But that would spoil her argument wouldn't it?

Your city, my symphay to you and yours.

Supporting the Troops means you want them to WIN, not withdraw.

I usually don't like name calling but in this case she is a total idiot.....like if anyone invaded us would have given us umpteem UN resolutions, given us that many years to comply, told us they were gonna invade and then gave us a chance to give up.....not that we would or any of that is pertinent but this crazy person thinks we just woke up one day and decided to invade Iraq for no better reason than to give her something to show her stupidity with

Absolutely no comparison.

These idiots who write this stuff must have burned a few too many brain cells in their youth.

Is Miriam willing to put her actions where her mouth is?
She needs to go to Iraq as a human shield.
Information and directions can be obtained from Baghdad

"Retired from Cornell Romance Studies Department? ROFLMAO!"

I think she should go back to reading her "Romance" novels since she obviously can't deal with reality. I'm sure since she is on the terrorist's side, she can find a spot in Falluja. Terrorist's will take off her head and then she will finally be able to have a sensible thought.

[Goodgirlinred]

Who the heck is this woman? Is she a nut or a traitor? Either way, she needs to be locked up! Freedom of speech is one thing, but saying such things in a time of war is another thing all together!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

This idiot probably thinks that the post-WWII Japanese government is a "puppet regime" also.

[NorCalRepub]

good girl.......most likely she just runs around in her own little lib circle like the media elite on the coasts never really seeing the light of day or the real moods of the country........she doesn't get it of course but it makes her feel accepted in her own twisted world and boosts her self loathing ego.....just feel sorry for her and let her go off mumbling into the night like the rest......she is most likely a danger only to herself.......poor little miserable liberal moonbat.........

If the US were invaded and occupied, I would hope the us citizens would rise up and fight. I don't think they would do this by blowing up, beheadinding and terrorizing other US civilians.

Well, I've got to give these "true believers" credit.

A few years ago, all they supported were the soldiers that "fragged" their officers.

O'Reilly had some professor on who basically said that in the long run, more lives would be saved if more US troops died. This is an American. Still walking around free. With no bullet in his brain.

Funny you should mention that banner...click on the link to the source and it's used as an illustration in the article.

I thank you for your service Behind Liberal Lines. If you have a code name, freepmail me...I would die before divulging it.

With the loss by francois kerry this crap is going to get worse...I believe N.Bonaparte said "Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake..." or something along those lines.

My belief is that the extreme left is "going to the mattreses" and the hateful vengeance has not even begun. I've read many articles that propose the left go to the center in order to regain power...We must remain vigilant, particularly with hrc.
