PROTESTS: (Overseas) "Anti-US" / (Domestic US): "Anti-War"....What Gives? (They are the same)

Some random thoughts here for consideration.

The US media is aggressively covering the various demonstrations taking place which call an end to the War on Iraq by the Bush Administration.

I have examined in detail both the websites of these various groups in the US and overseas as I have analyzed the speeches that are given, in terms of rhetorical comment.

I have taken a good look at the posters and rally slogans also in these various gatherings.

And here is the question:

US media highlights these demonstrations, when they occur internationally, as being "ANTI-AMERICAN".

And yet, when they occur in the United States they are called "ANTI-WAR".

But what gives? For all intents and purposes, the 'ESSENCE' of these gatherings is the same everywhere. There is no distingushing objectives, messages, speakers, intents, platforms, and in my cases, cross-border alliances between groups.

So why do we not insist that the USA media 'call a spade a spade' and refer to these various demonstrations within the United States terrority, for the sake of uniformity, as being:

ANTI - AMERICAN

Any additional thoughts?

My prior training in logic and semantics was tickling my brain on this the other day.

I concur whole-heartily. They both are anti-American, and even more specifically anti-Bush. If Clinton were running this war, which of course would have never happened, the crowds would be significantly less or perhaps non-existent at all.

Whew, found it! I wanted to add this food for thought to this thread. This may explain the anti difference and explain more:

There are no two ways about it! It has been an orchestrated effort and I know exactly who is behind it. This last ditch effort by what remains of the Clinton organization will also fail and the people he controls who are responsible for the current attempt divide the American people will be exposed for who they are!

Message to Bill and Hillary Clinton: Kiss my ass.

another thought is they are all communist protesters and that is a fact!

[Calpernia]

At least funded and educated by communist sources. Majority of the protestors are pathologic and angry....ready to act out on anything angry and hateful.

Majority of the protestors are pathologic and angry.

Finally, someone points this out. Yes, our fellow citizens are agreeing with, use the same rhetoric as anti-american countries. Yes, the protesters who do that are anti-american. It's just that simple (at least for me).

Here's a thought for you. Notice how all of the "non-biased" media defends the protester when called "anti-american" by people like Rush. I wish Rush or Hannity would point out that none of the "non-biased" media have ever defended a conservative against the title "nazis" or "fascist".

The ringleaders are the same nuts who arganized the WTO protests 3 years ago. These are people who need to be protesting something in order to socialize. It's quite sad really. The ranks are augumented by position-less zombies who go because it's an "event." Look at them on TV sometime. They have no conviction.
