Liberal Activist: Anti-War Left Giving Obama a Pass Because He's Black

As President Barack Obama launches air strikes in Syria, anti-war activists are frustrated that he is getting a pass from groups traditionally opposed to military intervention.

According to the Washington Post, only 22 anti-war activists protested near the White House this week, and "it was the latest display of how Obama has neutralized the left."

Left-wing activist David Swanson, "who voted for Obama in 2008 before switching to the Green Party," told the Post that "if George W. Bush were launching wars with Congress out of town, oh, it would be flooded." But he said liberals give Obama a pass because "he’s more eloquent, he’s more intelligent, he’s African American, he bills himself as a constitutional scholar.”

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink said "the black community is traditionally the most antiwar community in this country," but Obama has "defanged that sentiment within the black community, or certainly voicing that sentiment.”(continued)

The peaceniks were silent when Clinton went to war and when JFK went to war in Vietnam the peaceniks didn’t protest either.

All this shows is the anti-war peacenik left are phonies.

Leftists and other assorted anti-war lunatics will be screaming "KILL THEM!" the loudest when ISIS terrorists visit here to detonate a suicide bomb in a gay nightclub or at a Broadway show someday. They are only peaceniks under certain specific circumstances, of course.

Obama is pro-abortion, and socialist. Therefore, he has total immunity from criticism by the Left.

We cannot go into the forgeries of Obama’s BC, but Dan Rather could forge a false report on Bush being AWOL.

If Bush was Awol, then what is Obama?

liberals remind me of a fat slob homosexual I worked with who all the time commented on the women”s looks and criticized their hair cuts without looking himself in the mirror.

[lavaroise]

My bad.

Why would democrats oppose a racist and a fascist? That’s their preferred soil.

The anti-war crowd are Marxists and only use it to further their agenda. They are anti-America and so is he.

Pray America wakes

Isn’t it heartwarming when a liberal hypocrite discovers for the first time that liberals are hypocrites?

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink said "the black community is traditionally the most antiwar community in this country,"

Personally I don't remember any anti-war protest where the crowd was not made up of at least 90% smelly white hippies.

What would bring a thought like that to mind?

Quibble -- there's no such thing as the "anti-war Left", just as there's no such thing as liberal opposition to dictatorship, or liberal advocacy of women's rights. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
