Just turn off the TV when these people's faces uglify the screen-boycott any movie they are in-don't buy products that use them in commercials.

If the looney left squeeled and everyone had their fingers in their ears: Would that disgusting, repulsive ranting really make a sound?

[Kozak]

This is actually a good thing for those of us who oppose these idiots. The more they cry and bitch, the more exposure they get, the less likely we are to have their "friends" in the Democratic party as our overseers in the near future.

I've heard some who classify themselves as Christians (and whom I would assume were righties based upon their thoughts on other issues) that also say America deserved this. It's nonsense of course - no one deserves to have 3,000 of it's citizens vaporized out of shear jealousy and hatred.

"-----were a consequence of past U.S. military aggression"

They wish. The anti-American agenda can't fit many facts of the current crisis into an explanation that wouldn't be laughed at. That's why they never mention Osama, religion, Shah Masood, things they don't understand and don't want to since it doesn't reinforce their world view. It's a very patronizing world view, with all the "others" of the world denied motives and interests of their own, unless the are, or can be rationalized as a "response" to America. They are retreating to Vietnam and other comfortable constructs. Right after 9/11 they pushed the "root cause" argument, but it failed in the growing light of the Osama videos and understanding of fundamentalism. That is, the "root causes" weren't what they hoped they were, and they are only interested in "root causes" if they support their prejudices - i.e., they aren't really concerned about root causes in the first place.

"In their sole reference to Sept. 11, the anti-war group suggests that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were a consequence of past U.S. military aggression."

In the interest of fairness I would like to say this is not the same thing as saying that the U.S. deserved the attack.

[SerpentDove]

This is for Ed Assner.

Please copy and forward to any American you care to.
NEVER FORGET.

>>...-don't buy products that use them in commercials.<<

I agree. But what would that hideous warthog Ed Assner hawk?

Talk about a guy whose milked his minute amount of talent for all its worth. I guess if you're a loudmouth liberal, they'll let your fat ugly self hang around and publicly molder indefinitely.

"But what would that hideous warthog Ed ASSner hawk?"

Maybe hemorrhoidal suppositories, Jock itch or yeast infection medication, or even manure spreaders.

"This is not the same as saying the USA deserved the attack."

The hell it's not ! It is just like saying the girl in the revealing dress was asking for it.

[Corin Stormhands]

I think that picture infuriates me more than any of the others. I get emotional (sad, then angry) every time I see it...

[Aurelius]

"The hell it's not ! It is just like saying the girl in the revealing dress was asking for it."

The two are not at all alike.
