Die-In Dies Out: An antiwar-protest movement falls flat on opening day

I was just watching Fox News, and the ticker crawl said that there were six anti-war protests today across the US. Seems to me more and more people are realizing exactly what is happening, and the anti-war protestors are just out of sync.

If they were really serious, they would have a die-in in which they really died. That is something I could support.

Get a f****** job!"

Somehow this one is my favorite! The peaceniks in Fresno arrive at about 3 in the afternoon on Fridays, proving they need to take this signs advice! :-)

There's been a split in the protest ranks..realizing the negative publicity, the "lets do lunch' crowd is proposing less confrontation.

Fox News Heckles Die-In Anti War Protesters

I liked the Fox reaction to the protest Thursday. The scrolling electronic sign mocked the protestors the whole time. Rupert Murdoch rules.

Quick fix for a "die in"....flood the streets with cold water. The dopes won't lay around in a torrent of cold water.

[Utah Girl]

I didn't hear about the Fox News doing that. That is so great!

[Martus]

The Hate America Fests are just like those who participate in them.......WORTHLESS FAILURES.

"CBS, NBC, get out of bed with the military"

It's hard to believe the leftists think the media has gone pro-military. Fox is, but the handwringers are already being trotted out on CNN and the other networks in the hopes that Bush is going to fail.

They're clearly on the wrong side of history in this fight. They picked to side with a unmitigated tyrant.

There's no moral high ground to be had on that side of the tracks.

You mean they commited a mass suicide like the People's Front of Judea ?? .... Or was that the people's front of Judea ...

Look out! The Judean People's Front! The Judean People's Front!...
OTTO:
Ve are the Judean People's Front.
Crack suicide squad. Suicide squad! Attack!
[drum roll]
J.P.F.:
Uh! Ugh. Aggh...
OTTO:
That showed 'em, huh? Oooh.

These are the people who vote Democrat.

Sarah, a spokeswoman for the protest (she would only ID herself as a New York State employee), complained that "corporate media" was misleading the American people by not showing us dead bodies and civilian casualties.

She sounds disappointed that there are no dead/injured Iraqis.

Every where I go the people are talking. And it is NOT anti-war talk. As I was driving to the mall the DJ said that he would by Martin Sheen a lifetimes supply of duct tape if he would keep it over his mouth as he (MS) did in today's protest!

Is it possible to arrest and intern these law-breaking idiots for the duration of the war? There *is* a historical precedent for putting aside civilians with questionable loyalties during war time. I'd hang 'em for treason myself, but internment would at the least be a prohibitive measure.

[SWake]

... flood the streets with cold water.

I've been trying to think of some negative but not really harmful consequences that commuters could use against these idiots. Water balloons was the best I could think of. Any ideas?
