The anti-war left is turning on the president it helped put into office, launching a counteroffensive against President Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan.
Activist groups are joining liberal members of Congress in condemning the president's expected announcement on Tuesday that he will order roughly 30,000 more troops to the war zone as part of an overhauled strategy to finish what President Bush started eight years ago. Some are urging him not to go through with it -- though the strategy apparently is set in stone, with Obama having issued his final orders to his generals Sunday evening.
"I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do," documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said in an open letter to Obama posted on his Web site. Moore warned that Obama would tarnish his legacy, turn away his supporters and effectively crown himself the new "war president" by escalating the war in Afghanistan.
"With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics," Moore wrote. "Your potential decision to expand the war ... will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you've said and done in your first year.
"For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop," Moore wrote.

Since when is commie Michael Moore "anti-war"?
Michael Moore (quote), from his website, April 14, 2004...
"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"
[actual quote from Michael Moore (2004). It still appears on his website]

"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

I wonder how the Nobel Peace Prize committee feels about his decision.
The Ditherer-in-chief has boxed himself into a corner. It’s lose-lose. There is no high-five scenario for him.
Your potential decision to expand the war ... will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you’ve said and done in your first year.
WTH are the great things Obama has said and done in his first year?
What happened to all the Liberals who said Afghanistan was the important war? That’s all I heard during the Obama campaign.
I thought BushBots were pathetic. But, the Olbermans are pathetic AND stupid. They'll swallow a war they hate for political expedience. How evil can you get?
Hey, the oceans have stopped rising... or something.
“WTH are the great things Obama has said and done in his first year?”
bankrupting the “great Satan”?
I do take a certain amout of satisfaction watching the left eat their own, especially after watching them savage Bush for eight years.
Bon appetit, boys!
Perhaps they are convinced that America (the great evil globalist satan) deserved the attack on 9/11?
I wouldn’t put anything past the worthless liberals. They have no redeeming human qualities. They couldn’t care less about the death of innocent people despite their loud rhetoric.
"Anti-war" my *ss! These SOBs aren't anti-war. They're anti-American, anti-Capitalist. They are all in favor of violence and bloodshed when it comes to leftist uprisings and overthrows. Please stop passing this "aniti-war" BS along. It's bad enough that the useful idiot liberal media does it. We need to more forcibly expose these bastards for what they really are.

"The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink [Jodie Evans] has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money."

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Code Pink's Jodie Evans embraces Jane Fonda
_________________________________________________
November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
_________________________________________________
Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?
REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?
FONDA: Obama.
REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.
RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

Ever notice how the far left never protests about the lack of jobs?
Yeah - they were going to “fight the real war.”
I'm glad there's no "HOMELESS" anymore! Remember when that was caused by heartless Republicans? /s
It's so Left to think that if you dislike a Left candidate's position it probably is a lie to get votes from the center/right.
Huh? He meant that?
You really have to hand it to the left for trashing Obama, who is taking this nation so far in their direction that we can hardly recognize it these days.
He’s using the Constitution as his door mat, and they can’t see any movement in their direction whatsoever.
Wow...
Never forget to tell each and every one of them (as they try to distance themselves from the teleprompter sock puppet) that the only reason they are saying anything bad about O’Bonghit is that they are foaming at the mouth racist bigots who can’t stand it that a black man is in the white house.
Oh you see through all their code words...
Et Tu, Brute?
I hear ya. Check out the first paragraph of this offering from the New York Times for a shocker.
I was just commenting on it a few minutes ago.
