Half, I agree. You are right.
The DemocRATS are all swallowing the McGovern cyanide pill for electoral success. They never learn. In the end anti-Americanism, hatred for the military and hatred for Bush will not muster a majority of voters for DemocRATS in 2006.
And it's so ironic that they would even embrace this strategy. While they may take solace in the fact the anti-war movement did have an effect on policy, that effect was still extremely detrimental to the Democrats. The liberals may have won a policy victory, but the Democrats still suffered an overwhelming electoral defeat in the shadows of that victory. Even more ironic is that they would still do this knowing what the consequences were of that victory...i.e., the genocide and brutality that followed.
