Sigh, again.
I think everybody has been pretty restrained about it, John. No "Commie Dupes!" except in your reaction to it. Lets remember those here that are not happy about the marchers have to put up with "Cheney and his Friends," "Bush the Idiot," "Arrogant Neocons," etc, on a daily basis from some of our fellow posters.
The media's portrayal of the marchers as "Mr and Mrs Moderate, with kids, from flyover country" was a distortion in the other direction, IMO. Some of the signs in DC were, "USA Is #1 Terrorist," "Bush Is a Terrorist," "The NYPD Are Terrorists Too," and "Get the Terrorists Out of the White House." But if you went by the reporters, they were all patriots acting in the American tradition of dissent. Harmless old ladies, middle-American Republicans, and well-dressed students. Give me a break! |
