Talk about HATE SPEECH. That post is a perfect example.

"....Below, witness the true face of the worm-eaten antiwar movement...."

This is NOT the true face of the antiwar movement. It is the lunatic fringe of the antiwar movement. (That is assuming that these pictures and stories and not fraudulent lies in the first place, which we all know the rabid right is quite capable of)

It's the same as when in Seattle 25,000 people peacefully protested the WTO and it's antidemocratic policies. What does the media do? Focus on a handful of about 20 anarchists who broke windows and did damage. That is how the media covered it. Ignored the 25,000 peaceful protestors and focus on the 20 who did damage.

Your polemic HATE SPEECH article does the same thing. It tries to find the most lunatic fringe (fraudulently created or otherwise) and hang that image on to the millions of good Americans who simply THINK THE WAR IS WRONG.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the most obnoxious pictures were of righties posing as war protestors in order to discredit their cause. (for example the schmuck dragging the flag on the ground) Just like for example the big ruckus that was caused outside of where they were counting the votes in Florida in 2000. There is a picture pointing out that the whole group was comprised of hard right operatives.
