So CNN, ABC, CBS and a couple hundred newspapers across the country have reported on this group's protest, and you are trying to tell me that none of it will have any effect at all on public opinion.

Alrighty then.

What about the effect that this kind of protest, and its subsequent reporting by practically every news outlet in this country, will have on the US military who see and read the news reports?

Do you think they will be so nonchalant about it, or will they be angry? Will they begin to question their role in this "illegitimate war" and will they begin to wonder if many or most Americans also share these protesters opinion?

Is that a risk worth taking?

No, this will never turn into another Vietnam.

Alrighty then.

And as I keep pointing out to you and you refuse to address. There have been THOUSANDS of these little geek parties since Dec 2000.

Who won the election in Nov 2004?

Who is President until Jan 2009?

Which party gained seats in both houses of Congress in 2002 and 2004 elections? Sorry, your emotion based FEELING do NOT translate into any objective data. I am curious why you have such a need to invest our political foes with relevance and power they do not have? These people are the Leftist version of the KKK or the Ayran Nation. All you have to do is read a bit of their hate filled screeds or watch a couple of "protest" marches to realize the ONLY people who take these people seriously are their lap dogs in the Dinosaur Media.

Here is a little factual data for you to chew on. In recent Pew Press poll, 60% of respondents said the American News Media was actively undercutting our efforts in the War. Doesn't seem to be any evidence to support your emotional assumptions about how effective these little Hysteric Left propaganda exercises are now does it? I am sorry you are so emotionally scared by Vietnam but there is NO evidence available to back up your emotion based conclusions about these people.

I agree with you. They are using the Vietnam template to try and turn the country against the war on teror.

We have to think of a counter strategy.

I suggest that we fund groups who will place television ads explaining why we are in Iraq, why we aren't leaving, why we need to continue the effort.

Unless we have some public explanations, we are going to be hurt by the MSM. The President speaks often, but it doesn't help much because of the MSM's control over what is coveed.

Ads are the key. I hope some of the 501c3's are willing to step up to the plate.
