The Nutroots really didn't overreach. They were used and were too dumb to realize that. They were responsible for the Dems winning in '06 and they were allowed to believe that they would be rewarded with the end of the war and the impeachment of Bush. Now they are po'd.

You are right that most don't understand the art of compromise, but that stems from being raised as spoiled brats who always got their way and who have still not grown up.

You are also correct that it was never really about the war. It was about Bush. Soros's hatred for Bush spread like a cancer. President wasn't the one who divided this nation. It was Soros and his minions - people like Ritter and Kucinich, Medea Benjamin, et al, who in turn used Sheehan. It was the leftist media who were worried about their bottom line in the international markets.

The whole thing nauseates me.

Because THIS time there is a new media that does not push the only view as the antiwar view.

THIS time we hear from the soldiers via email and direct interviews.

THIS time we see the smelly stink repusive nature of the left protesting.

THIS time they can’t use creative edits to allow walter cronkite to conceal victory with defeat.

THIS time American has a voice.

To those sticky, leftists we sing: “alllll we are saaaaaying issss give soaaaap a chanceeeeee.”

....it was never really about the war. It was about Bush.

Bush represents everything the left is in opposition to. He's a WASP capitalist male, an equal opportunity punching bag for racists, christianophobes, communists, gay militants, feminazis and Islamofascists.

That said...he's right about the Wot and they can't see past their collective political noses.

Blindness becomes them.

During The Who’s set at Woodstock, Abbie Hoffman took to the stage and grabbed Pete Townsend’s microphone, and just as he was in the middle of yelling, “Free Rubin Sinclair”, Townsend “El Kabonged” him over the head with his SG.

“Who bears blame for anti-war failures?”
Off hand, I would say our brave war fighters and their support units, but that just me.

So The Politico let's ignorant liberals write for them?

Who did you think started the site? A couple of ex-WaPo jerkwaters. What else would one expect.

There’s not one word in this screed about what’s in the United States’ interests or in the best interest of our national security.

There never is. The Left does not want the US to flourish or succeed, because the US stands in the way of their global agenda. That's why we have to fight these simpering 'rat-bastards.

Yes, after you strip away all the sludge and BS, it really is that simple.

Thank you! I noticed this too. The whole article is bemoaning the failure to “get Bush”. No mention of what a free democratic Iraq would mean for the middle east, or what a withdrawal would do to “innocent Iraqis” that liberals care so much for.
BTW, to the other poster who thought Dennis Hopper is a mistaken spokesman for some financial services business. Hopper is a conservative republican. Even though he was a big hippie in the 60’s.

Prior to the event, the Yippies and the Black Panthers blackmailed the backers of the original Woodstock Festival for $10,000 and booth space (they threatened to slur the event and cause physical problems before/during if their demands were not met).

YOU WANT A BARF ALERT!!??

A Big CHUCKY-CHEESE SCHUMMER-DOG B-A-R-F ALERT!!

Did you check out Cheesy's Comment -found quoted from his other, typical Anti-American , Anti-Troop, Anti-Bush and Gen. Patraeus comments?! Found on http://mcr.org

He stated AFTER everyone was agreeing that the Troops have made such GREAT STRIDES that,"...any progress wasn't made BECAUSE of the SURGE-but rather DESPITE it!!"

Go leave it to the Biggest Traitor to America -who should know what a be-heading feels like- to say something like that!

Almost as bad as Biden's "..well-I don't think it's (Iraqi's Winning their War TOGETHER & Struggle for DEMOCRACY with U.S. and Coalition Troops -but I wish you luck.."

Gee-Wiz! THAT was awefully NICE of him! Warner-Rankle Butt and the rest- and ALL RINOs must GO!

Thanks for the post! God Bless you 2nd Division Vet! OOH-RAH!
