Free Speech is Not a Monopoly of the Antiwar Left

Erika Holzer and Henry Mark Holzer co-authored AID AND COMFORT: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam, showing a treason charge would have convicted Fonda and been upheld on appeal.

On a Free Republic thread posted last night, de Genova was quoted saying "the heritage of the Holocaust is the plight of the Palestinian people."

The so-called anti-war left is sick and sickening.

It has adopted the Big Lie of Goebbels to give aid and comfort to the worst tyrants on earth.

The difference is these young warriors have class and discipline. They leave it to us to know how dispicable they really think these anti-americans are!

bttt

taking a moral stand against the uncivilized rant of people with their own ugly agendas.

An indictment of and call to arms against the de Genovas.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this great article and the ping!

You've got that right about class.

The quintessential distillation of that class is demonstrated in the email currently circulating regarding the Martin Savidge offer of use of his videophone to four Marines.

I have written emails to the president of Columbia demanding de Genova's removal on behalf of all who serve.

And I think that notion just crossed my mind.

Right on buddy! I sent my daughter that e-mail last evening. Her response was that "they find people like that from families like ours." Finally realized I was a success at being a father, despite the fact I spent most of my life deployed and missing soccer games, birthdays and graduations. It was well worth it to see these young people teach the world freedom's value!

Thanks for the ping PhilDragoo.

I am still completely against this mantra that these anti-war demonstrators are against the war but support our troops. That is a moronic statement. How can you be against the war, but support them in conducting the war.

[Egregious Philbin]

Leave it to FrontPage to publish an article with junk like this:

Every one of them, when asked why they were eager to fight in Iraq, in essence gave this unhesitating reply: "First, to destroy a murderous regime before it acquires the capability to attack our country and the rest of the free world with weapons of mass destruction." [It’s called "self-defense."] "Second, to liberate the people of Iraq from decades of oppression." [It’s called "compassion."]

"in essence gave this unhesitating reply" So you're paraphrasing then? Why, then, do you feel the need to clarify the statement for us? "[It’s called "self-defense."]" I'll draw my own conclusions, thank you. [READ: at least before you start sounding out the letters.]

We did NOT take an oath to defend the right to call on the President's Death.

We did NOT take an oath to defend their right to call on military men and women to kill their officers

We did NOT take an oath to defend their right to call on troops to rebel against their officers.

Those people who have done so are traitors, and should be tried and punished.

Let’s say you’re a combat infantryman, you hail from Los Angeles, and a close friend was part of that 507th convoy that went astray. Mail call. Along with the homemade cookies, your mother includes an article from the Los Angeles Times (3/25/03) by University of Southern California Law School Professor Erwin Chemerinsky, who blithely asserts that since Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld continues to violate "international law" [the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals flatly disagreed] by the Guantanamo incarceration of "war captives" [read "enemy combatants", some of them proven terrorists], "the United States cannot expect other nations [read "Iraqi Death Squads"] . . .to live by the rule of law . . . ." [Read: "You can’t blame Saddam’s thugs for executing American POWs."]

You consider the source, use it for toilet paper, and move on.

Indeed this is quite a generation.

A Fox embed asked a soldier last night (morning in Iraq) for his response to those asking for a time frame.

The young soldier smiled and replied, "We're doing the best we can, and it'll be over when it's over and we'll come home and you can buy us a beer."

I thought, ye gods and little fishes, he's in front of that armor having made the greatest advance in the history of warfare and all he asks is for a beer.

These people are so happy to have a chance to show their magnificent stuff before a leader and people who appreciate it.

And these are the ones Democrats tried to disenfranchise in Florida in 2000.

When Clinton addressed the Commencement of the Class of 1994 of the USNA in Marine Stadium with the epic battles on its walls it was dark days.

Your service is vindicated a thousand times over as America throws off the yoke of the leftist propaganda machine to reveal the depth of character which has been there all the time.

I am still completely against this mantra that these anti-war demonstrators are against the war but support our troops.

The hatred of Bush and of America is apparent in the protesters.

I don't see anything to indicate they are "anti-war"--they're funded by Marxist revolutionaries.

The mouthings of Arnett, Ritter, de Genova, McDermott, Rangel, Pelosi, and others is more Tokyo Rose than Mahatma Ghandi.

The epitome of the "anti-war" lie is in the banner "We support our troops when they shoot their officers".

These one-percenters are that evil.

[Tribune7]

Something occurred to me about Prof. de Genova -- why can't he be charged with making a terroristic threat? He's advocating the violent, illegal deaths against specific people.

How about a hate crime?

[PhilDragoo]

Those people who have done so are traitors, and should be tried and punished.

I couldn't agree more.

And these calls to murder come from the "hate-speech" breast-beaters.

Albuquerque now requires a permit for demonstrations and that the permitee pay the police overtime.

Albuquerque's mayor and city council then held a rally in civic plaza in support of the troops.

[PhilDragoo]

How about a hate crime?

Exactly. The de Genovas of the university are the ones instituting speech codes.

The de Genovas are pigs on Animal Farm for whom some animals are more equal than others.

In a crowd of 3,000 there was not one objection to de Genova's invocation of 18,000,000 deaths on America.

And Columbia's president has not fired de Genova.

Yep !

Here is a link to the SF-IMC site where these FAR LEFT LIBERALS posted an actual pic (below) of one of their Support Saddam/Terrorists events recently and changed the image when I posted/linked it to an FR thread. The pic at the top of that link (of 2 Allied Soldiers TORTURING someone) was what they changed it to . . .

These folks at San Francisco Indy-Media are terrorist supporters . . .

Oh, the lurkers on FR from SF-IMC CANNOT change that picture (above) now since it is hosted by FR friendly sources ! Take that, FOOLS !! . . .
