The leftwing news media hyped the leftwing march in New York in a predictable manner. "We the People Say No to Bush" was the lead headline in Salon.com. "Vast Anti-Bush Rally Greets Republicans in New York," was the lead headline in The New York Times. "Anti-Bush Protesters Fill NY Streets," was the lead in The Los Angeles Times. An opening rally for the President led by Vice President Dick Cheney, former NY Mayor Rudi Giuliani and New York Governor George Pataki was buried in both Times and ignored by Salon.
Which raises the interesting question, Who are the "people?" If the American people are 95% college age scruffians who think their leaders are war criminals, maybe Salon has a point. The NY Times actually conflated the street radicals with the Democratic Party itself calling the march "a heavily Democratic street protest." According to the Times, "the marchers carried placards calling Mr. Bush 'the next Milosevic'" referring to a head of state currently in dock before a War Crimes Tribunal. The marchers also could be heard chanting "Fox News sucks."
The Times has a point. The Democratic Party has nominated a man who indicted his whole country, including its highest officials as war criminals more than thirty years ago. The Democratic Party leadership has accused the President of "lying" to conduct a war that was unnecessary in order to line the pockets of his friends. Although neither Times mentions the fact (since they share the agendas of the marchers) the organizers of the protests in New York are the same anti-American, totalitarian-sympathizing radicals who organized the anti-Vietnam protests back then, and who willingly helped the Communists to power on the grounds that America was the greater evil.
The result was the slaughter of two and half million people by the Communists in the first three years of the "peace." American "progressives" did not hold a single street march or protest of this genocide by their erstwhile allies. Having learned nothing in their political lives from the atrocities they sponsored, they are as self-righteous as ever. Now they are proposing the same solution -- American withdrawal -- for the war on terror in Iraq. If they are successful -- and electing Democrats is the surest way to make them successful -- there will be another bloodbath. This bloodbath will take place in Fallujah and Najaf, where the supporters of freedom will suffer a savage fate; but it will also take place in Washington and New York, where Islamic radicals will not make fine distinctions as to who were their enemies and who their progressive brothers and sisters.

Oh, and as Rush Limbaugh has pointed out, you didn't see one American flag flying. The only such flags in evidence were draped on the coffins paraded to represent the American dead. Obviously Bush killed them, and the terrorists are just figments of rightwing imaginations. The symbolism is all too clear. The American flag is useful to tug at American heartstrings when you want Americans to surrender. Otherwise its the flag of empire -- the enemy.
Oh my gosh, this is so true. Kerry wants to exit (IOW, abandon) Iraq how soon after his theoretical inauguration?
...And personally, I can't think of anyone MORE spittable.
OK, I've thought it about it.
Hey Joe, you like ozone?
It's like they could be bothered to give money to an anti-American assclown for 90 mins of propaganda, but they won't take 1 minute to search Moorewatch or other sites for FREE to find out just how misleading his movies always have been.
Stop saying that. Now. You're talking about France and Germany, no one here cares what they think. They had their hands in the cookie jar, that's the only reason why they were pissed at us, we cut off their flow. You're an adult, I assume, and therefore you ought to know that.
Informed my a**.
Because the people whom we're fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan don't want your tolerance, they want your blood. Trying to appease them will have predictable results, we'll be attacked more, and with more fury. You donkeys are awfully stubborn, I must say...
Do yourself a favor and read this

Don't fall for that line, Young and Informed. Don't be naive. Read Radical Son, by David Horowitz. I think you'd really find it fascinating.
In all seriousness .. what part of these terrorists want to Kill you and your children do you not understand??
Do you really think we on the right love war??
No we don't .. we love peace and freedom just like everyone else
But when there is a group of people that want to kill you and take away our freedoms .. should we sit back and let them?
Or should we try to stop them?
Sounds like you just need to find an antidote. Your mother sounds like one of those people who are easily swayed, and generally they are swayed by whatever they most recently heard or saw; that it contradicts the last thing they were swayed by doesn't matter. (One of my sisters is like that, though not in political matters.)
Or, I may add, for the 2 - 3 million people killed in SE Asia after we abandoned them. Kerry predicted 3,000 would have to leave VN after we pulled out. The Commies killed 1,000 times Kerry's estimate. The left, because they sympathize with totalinarianism, always covers up the extreme atrocities of totalitarian regimes.
Young and Un-Informed.
Welcome to the club. My mom said she always voted for dems. I can't remember ever doing the same.
"There is a difference between deriving greatness from power and greatness from respect. The United States used to be respected by the world for our tollerance of all nationalities and cultures".
Oh really? How do you function with such a truncated brain?
Tell me how our "GREATNESS" due to "RESPECT" led to our freedom from King George? Tell me how "RESPECT" defeated the Kaiser and Germany in WWI. Tell me how "RESPECT" defeated Tojo and Hitler in WWII. Tell me how "RESPECT" pacified Europe, and rebuilt a Continent. Tell me how "RESPECT" saved the Korean's during that conflict. Tell me how "RESPECT" won the "cold war", and defeated an "EVIL EMPIRE"!
I'll answer these questions for you (while you figure out how to spell tollerance)... "RESPECT" has NEVER won any of our FREEDOMS...EVER!!! You should heed the words of ZELL MILLER when he explains where the FREEDOM for you to be such a sniveling liberal lib sycophant comes from!
IT WAS THE AMERICAN SOLDIER THAT SECURED EVERY FREEDOM AND LIBERTY THAT YOU ENJOY!!! NEWS FLASH... AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN LOVED BY THE WHOLE WORLD. AMERICA HAS ALWAYS HAD TO FORGE ALLIANCES WITH LIKE-MINDED NATIONS, WHEN TIMES THREATEN LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOOKED UPON WITH JEALOUSY, AND WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HATED BY CERTAIN ELEMENTS. WE HAVE ALWAYS PERSERVERED, BY HAVING FREEDOM AND LIBERTY ON OUR SIDE, BACKED BY THE MEANEST, BEST ARMED, BEST TRAINED, AND MOST MAGNIFICENT KILLING MACHINE EVER ASSEMBLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANY "RESPECT" THAT WE HAVE EARNED IN THIS WORLD, IS DIRECTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT LIKE PRESIDENT BUSH, WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY, AND WE SAY WHAT WE MEAN... AND WE WILL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU GET IN OUR WAY!
WITHOUT A STRONG MILITARY, LED BY A STRONG LEADER, YOUR FAMILY WILL BE SLAUGHTERED MUCH LIKE THOSE INNOCENTS IN RUSSIA YESTERDAY. YOUR WRONG-HEADED POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY IS YOUR FAMILIES GREATEST THREAT!!! WAKE UP!!!
Shangri-La never existed. Utopia is a communist pipe dream. Speaking of dreams little lib... DREAM ON!

Sorry, but you are surely not very informed and for someone who just joined a bit bold. You should expect immediate rebuttals to your weak, blubbering argument. If you want to learn and have a semblance of open mindedness, stick around FR and remember that on this site you will need to support your arguments with facts and sometimes documentation.... unlike postings on Leftist sites.
Be assured, about 35% of voters would vote for Joseph Stalin if he had a (D) behind his name.
