Protesting is a something that is a right for Americans. Folks have the right to protest against what they want to and when they want to if they have the permits and or meeting legal requirments. If you dont like what a protest group is legally doing ignore them.

I see the comments like they need to beaten, messed up....ect. That is stupid to want to do violence to somebody for expressing thier opinion legally. Inolerance usually leads to hate. I grew up in the south during the civil rights marches...some of the attitudes displayed here about anti-war protesters remind me of some of the folks attitudes that didnt like the civil rights marchers.

Intolerance and hate is the pathway to destruction.
 
Agreed.

I think that the reason that you are seeing these comments is not because the people are protesting but because they are giving the enemy aid by bostering(sp) them up and gives them more of an incentive(sp) to keep on doing what they are doing.

To the enemy, they are "winning" because even the People of the US are against the great satan (the US) so we must continue.

And if you're talking about ol' Cindy, have you heard some of her comments:

America isn't worth fighting for.

The terrorist are "freedom fighters" and her son was the insurgent (or something to that affect).

Etc..

It's not the protest that are making people upset, it's the aid and comfort that they are giving to the enemy IMHO.

You have any younger brothers or sisters who did annoying things without ceasing, just to get you riled? That's how the protesters strike me. Teeth-gratingly annoying. They're not doing it from any apparent concerns, it seems to me - usually they're out there to irritate the hell out of you.
Same as little brothers like to do.
 
If protesting is giving aid to the enemy then protesting would be treason. Naw I don't think so. Treason might be better described as threatening violence against lawful and peaceful protest, that is a treason against the Constitution.

In every war we have fought in we have had protestors exercising their rights. Exercising the right of protest is possibly the most fundamentally American act that one citizen can peform.

Threatening lawful peaceful protestors with violence is a clear sign of a weak mind.
 
Exactly my feeling migraine

The majority, in my opinion are pretty much pathetic losers trying to get attention or are trying to cover up their own cowardice.

Some honestly believe what they are saying and can back their beliefs up intelligently, those I respect, some.

They have the right to be irritating just as I have the right to be irritated.
But that's about as far as either of our rights go

I think that it is a good sign of our great America that we SEE protestors out there with signs like "Bush is Hitler!" etc.

Think about it...were there any Germans in WWII with signs protesting Adolf?

Perhaps, but they were quickly rounded up and disposed of.

Our democracy can't be slipping half as much as they say because they are still out there on the street corners, and still able to appear before Washington enmasse with their messages.

Sure some of them don't have a coherent thought in their pretty little suburban heads...but some do, and if one day there was no more protesting...well, I'd be concerned that maybe they had been right all along.
 
People have the right to protest. I'm usually fine with that unless these people are either violent or keeping me from getting to where I'm headed, like blocking the streets by intentionally standing in the way of vehicles. Or for example, if I were wearing a fur coat and protestors with PETA threw blood on me. That is simply uncalled for.

That is not a good way to try to "force" your beliefs or opinions on others by inconveniencing them or otherwise causing problems for them.

Just my $.02 on the issue.
 
I dont see Mrs Sheehan as giving aid and comfort to the enemy because she questions the President about the war. While I dont agree with her about everything, I myself have some serious questions about this war. I do not agree we should withdraw...but the mismanagment of the current administration of the war is not helping the situation.

Um, excuse me but she is not “protesting” the war she is calling for the defeat of the US on the battle field and IS in a very real sense giving aid and comfort to the enemy. She has called for the international trial of the President of the US; that the terrorists that killed her son are “freedom fighters” and was at a rally for the blind sheik’s lawyer who was convicted of aiding and abetting terrorism in the first tower bombings in NY. She is financed by international ANSWER a Marxist terrorist support group that calls for the destruction of all democracies and imposition of a socialist government like N. Korea's!! Major financing is from George Soros and the Communist Party USA and Code Pink another communist group. She is against our taking down of the Taliban and calls Osama an “alleged” terrorist. She is now “channeling’ her son in heaven who is instructing her on how to defeat the US after she tried to force him to desert and who re-enlisted AFTER the war started. Sorry no breaks for this socialist media whore.

Well, Sulaco2 put it better than I could.

+1 to Sulaco2.

And this could get nasty but what are your reservations on the war? That there weren't (except for that improvised sarin gas bomb, the want of yellow cake, the mass movement of trucks and equipment into neighboring countries, the gassing of the kurds, the gassing of the Iranians (not sure how I feel about that one), the chemical labs that they just found, Kerry and many other democrats stating that he had WMD (including clinton while in office)) WMD's?

What exactly do you have reservations with. I will admit that I have reservations... I think that we're tip-toeing around and trying to be PC. We need to get in there and just kick butt and clear out these idiots once and for all. As for the boarder, easy, set up a line of defense and anyone coming over from the boarder, bang, you're dead, next.

PC is what has killed more military folks in all the wars since Vietnam (included) then in any other war.

I say, take the gloves off and let's just do the damn job that we were sent in to do in the first place.

If attempting to peacefully and democratically express one's opinions is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, then this country should seriously re-examine what it's fighting for.

Every time someone goes out in public to protest bearing a sign like that, they undermine themselves. They prove incontrovertably that things are NOT as bad as they are out there shouting they are.

Think about it. "We're living in a dictatorship!" they shout. And then after saying so, and criticizing the government, they go out to grab a bite to eat, and go home to a nice cozy bed. :rolleyes: Some dictatorship. Did anyone grab you, throw you into a van, strap you down to a chair in a room, drill holes into your fingertips, beat you with a rubber hose, make you wear a vomit-drenched sack on your head untll you "confessed" that you were a treasoner? No? Well gee, so much for your sign, then.

Um, I don't like her either, but before I believe this, can you cite a reliable source for this information?
Thanks.

I can't think of a printable comment about this thread. Meek Jr, who is onboard ship somewhere in or near the Persian Gulf today emailed us telling us to ignore her and the other misguided fools in her company but I can't find it in my heart to be so magnanimous.
 
Are you guys talking about the personality failings of ALL protesters, or only the ones you disagree with?


Is a group who marches on Washington to protest for 2A rights "pathetic losers trying to get attention"?

And it should be apparent even to the most unobservant that the discussion has turned toward anti war protesters.
It should be equally apparent to all but the resident rabble rousers that the orginal post was leaning toward the same group
IMHO
 
I read the whole post, and the follow ups. They were emotional rants that painted a huge number of people in the most simplistic and insulting manner.

You'll pardon me for posting a counter that was equally simplistic. I thought the point might be better understood that way.
 
Like I said try reading my entire post if you are going to use my words not just the parts you can twist.

Now, didn't you really post it like that because you thought it might better inflame that way
