They're not. They're representative of some of the political left but not the majority.You maintain that groups like CodePink, MoveOn.org, etc. aren't at all representative of the political left.
I don't know what you consider "mainstream leftists" but a Democratically controlled Senate and House passed resolutions condemning the ad and even Obama voted for a resolution calling it an unwarranted personal attack.Now, please show me which mainstream leftists have condemned the actions of CodePink, International Answer, MoveON.org, and others for their reprehensible, unpatriotic actions in harassing the vets at Walter Reed, and in running ads like the "General Betray Us" smear, etc. Where are the leftist counter demonstrators at Walter Reed and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial?
Go stuff your straw man where the sun don't shine.It's OK to you so long as they only harass the vets on alternate Tuesdays?
Inappropriate, my ass. Protest is not supposed to be appropriate.It's very inappropriate to hold any kind of anti-war demonstration at the front gate of the hospital treating the wounded vets. They and thier families have enough to worry about without a bunch of leftist moonbats shrilly reminding the vets that they consider their sacrifice to be worthless. ANY such anti-war demonstration at the front gate of WRAMC constitutes harassment of the wounded vets.
