" Those comments enraged Sheehan supporter Dee Ann Heath, who said she has two sons serving in Iraq and another preparing to leave.

"I don't support the war, but I support my sons," she said. "I simply want them to come home."

If her sons are sent to Afghanistan, Korea or Bosnia, etc- I bet her views would be the same.
" I support the military, as long as my sons stay stateside. "

Arm the front HUMVEE with twin .50's and mow down every antiwar demonstrator you see.

No, I would instead arm it with a gun firing soap-and-water...more hazardous to the average peacenik than bullets!

It's interesting that the reporter ties these anti-Sheehan protesters to Bush. Judging from their chants, it looks more like they are backing the War than the President.

Does anyone who was around in the 60's remember anti-War protesters being confronted on the street by pro-War protesters?

Well said, you get it, I get it, but people like Dee Ann
Heath will never get it. The enemy is counting on nit-wits
like her.

Considering your tagline, then what I wrote, then the fact that you thought I was series when in fact I was making fun of the monstrosity of that "religion", I am really surprised at you.

Off your game today, my boy, off your game.

Funny, I was thinking about this last night as I watched local news (talking about cindyloon)just after watching 911 on National Geographic. I do not remember anybody confronting the VN war protesters.

I would be though, if there were counter-protests, the MSM never got the word out! Glad the internet has made the times change.

"I'll just bet that the next time we are hit by terrorists, many of these folks will be the ones standing by your side to defend our nation."

Not likely. The anti-American crowd is, and always will be anti-American. It doesn't matter who the enemy is -- they will aid and abet them.

That is excluding the utterly duped people of course. As for them we can only hope they see the light -- and soon.

That is one reason why the war on terror is NOT another Vietnam.

Ahem. I was around in the 60's. Groups that attacked anti-war protesters were the police, National Guard, construction workers and the Hell's Angels.

The police were the best at non-lethal attacks. Construction workers and Hell's Angels just didn't have the discipline to keep at it block after block.

Of course these groups couldn't exactly be described as pro-war. More like anti-street scum.

anti-war

It's war only when the U.S. fights back.

It's OK if U.S. "imperialists" are attacked and killed. That's not war. That's the world sending us a message that we should try to understand them; or, perhaps, it's "oppressed" people trying to get liberation from our allies such as in Viet Nam. I guess.

Never during the last century or this have the "anti-war" crowd protested against any country but the U.S. Go figure.

The one time when there was no "anti-war" from America's left? When Germany's National Socialists attacked the American left's Uncle Joe's socialist workers' paradise.
