I've commented heavily, but the Anti War protestors are a disgusting bunch. They are also too inutterably stupid to see they are serving the needs, wishes and desires of a brutal dictator.

Bump!

They are calling on President George W Bush to abandon plans to topple the Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, and to spend the billions of dollars needed to conduct a military campaign on social programmes instead.

Social programs, indeed. The world needs another social program like it needs a hole in the head, which is exactly what many people will get if these nincompoops ever get their way.

That line made my blood boil too. I am sick of being taxed to death for this sort of thing. If I am going to be taxed, at least use it to kill direct threats to my existence, such as Osama bin Laden.

They need a slogan... How about Victims not Victors?

How about, "All We Are Saying Is Give Communism (Another) Chance"

A war on social programs. What an excellent idea. To the barricades, comrades. Fix bayonets. Squad as skirmishers, march. Let no social program survive.

They keep overestimating the crowd sizes for these events.

In San Francisco alone it's only been hundreds, not thousands as they have stated. I doubt sincerely if it will be a hundred thousand, it will only be hundreds.

Besides, SF is becoming more conservative...there's been studies showing this.

I wish the D.C. Police would take care of these losers.

Well when these peoples relatives are dead in the streets from biological or chemical attacks, or they have been incinerated by an atomic blast, I guess we can just give them a collective "WE TOLD YOU SO" then tell them to move along...We all know that these people will be the first ones to turn around and say "oh no we weren't protesting..please do something about this". That is when we will give them the one finger salute and tell them to "Sit and Spin"..

There is an anti-war/Bush Rally in Augusta,Maine today. I have been waiting to hear about it.

Anti War/Bush Protest Augusta Maine Today

[Mr. Peabody]

I really hate calling these people Anti-War or peace marchers are whatever. They are against democracies defending themselves against third world tyranny. They don't seem to mind when tyrants overseas wage war against their own people.

[Desdemona]

These idiots do realize that defense is the largest social spending program in the government don't they?

Oops. That requires complex thought and a good dose of reality. Nevermind....

[MadIvan]

They haven't ever had a dose of either. Never mind indeed.

We could call them the "Turkeys Voting For Christmas", or in American terms, "Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving".

It covers both the fact that they wish to be roasted and well, that they're turkeys. ;)

My reply to the radicals ...

You say:

This IS NOT a call for physical confrontation with the police - though we believe in self-defense and don't believe property damage is "Violent".

---

Property damage is "not violent"? Wrong!
Property rights is a cornerstone of human rights.
If a group ame and burned down your house,
you wouldnt shrug, you'd know you've been violated,
just as surely as if thugs beat you up.

So your call for property violence is sickening and hypocritical.

Direct Action and "anti-war" is an absolute and utter contradiction in terms. IN FACT, YOU ARE NOT ANTI-WAR,
YOU ARE JUST ANTI_US POLICY. Which is too bad because at
least with respect to terrorism, The U.S. is on the side of good and is fighting evil.

You are defending DOMINANCE with your call to oppose the sane U.S. policy of confronting Iraq - you are defending the DOMINANCE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN IN THE MIDEAST and his tyrannical hold on Iraq.

Good luck defending the dictator and his pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.

Just saw this filthy scum on c-span.What they were saying was easily qualified as sedition and treason.ALLOWING THIS SCUM TO SPEAK IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA WEAK!

"Besides, SF is becoming more conservative...there's been studies showing this."

More conservative? That's news to me! All I run into are California 'tards who don't understand a thing about the real world...two sentences later I find out they are from Frisco.

I guess there is nowhere to go but up, especially given the suffering that must have been endured under the last few socialist administrations...but unless SF straightens out its educational system (especially bastions of outright communism like SFSU--with the "Cesar Chavez Student Center"), thery are doomed to at best a vicious cycle.

I heard a brief interview yesterday on NPR with a US protestor who was part of a throng at a Dick Cheney speech somewhere. The guy complained that the cost of a war would drain billions of dollars from "social programs that people need", and this would "hurt the poor". I could only laugh and laugh.

They're just saying that because they want to score some "grass" and hope Jefferson Airplane will come out to play the event - Ivan

What with the now old hag, Gracie Slick. This is one nasty picture in my mind. Watch out for the brown acid, especially if you see Janis, Jimi, Kurt, Jim Morrison or any one of the number of those who died trying to pursue what Neil Young has called the "hippie dream". As Young pointed out, "the wooden ships capcised in excess, if you know what I mean."
