Re: "**** the Troops"
Reply #24 - Today at 06:35:45 The people burning the soldier in effigy were not war protesters, they were the (miniscule) contingent of anarchists who apparently are against the war protesters as they are against everybody. I guess.
I couldn't quite follow their arguments. They're anarchists you know.
By the way Badger, since you have indicated in some past posts that you thought they might be amenable to rational conversation (a delusion I did not share with you), how is your conversation with the anarchists going over there on portland.indymedia.org? Have you persuaded them to support the troops yet?
The Oregonian had a front page article yesterday on how upset the Linfield college student who took these pictures was that Matt Drudge grabbed 3 of her 245 photographs and suddenly those 3 represent the Portland Peace March. There were maybe 20,000 folks peacefully expressing their views. There were about 15 (at most) anarchists who were responsible for the behavior getting national publicity.
What I can gather from their somewhat incoherent screeds is that they are demonstrating against everybody, including liberals. Neocons too I guess.
The tactic of portraying their behavior as behavior typical of the many peaceful demonstrators that day will no doubt be very successful. However it is entirely dishonest. Proving the point that I have made here many times before, news from Matt Drudge is not news.

"Build a bonfire
Build a bonfire
Put the soldiers on the top
Put the fascists in the middle
and we'll burn the ****in lot."
i guess that was the "anarchists,too?....
pretty convenient...

kosar...i`m not directing my comment personally at you...i believe you feel pretty revolted by this garbage.....i mean the burning of our boys in effigy and the putting of shit on the flag....
it`s beginning to look like viet nam again.......by that i mean these miscreants blaming our soldiers for foreign policy that they disagree with..
where do these "people" think they got these freedoms they enjoy?.....who do they think makes sure they live in a free society?....
why can't they connect those two small,yet very close together, dots?....thier stupidity, and/or arrogance is mind numbing....
it`s disgusting that these p`s.o.s. live amongst us...
i think that`s what dtb`s saying.....he`s not saying that all who disagree with the war are bad or anything like this group.....
but i`m afraid there`s more of this garbage than we know....

I'm revolted every bit much as Wayne about those signs, hanging/burning troops in effigy..etc. BELIEVE ME.
However, I became interested in the posts from the link to that forum that Wayne provided. From people that were there and others more clued in than maybe you, Wayne or myself about this particular protest.
Did you read them? I'm sure Wayne didn't. Probably not you either.
Whatever the case, to use these hyper-visceral images to advance some sort of agenda is intellectually dishonest, without some sort or disclaimer or clarification that it apparently was a very small percent of protesters.
I don't think you get it weasel - you are complaining about 15 people out of 20,000. They are a NON-FACTOR. 0.00075% It's nothing, absolutley nothing. But thanks to great even-handed journalists like Matt Drudge, it becomes big news and distorts everything about the peace rallies.
btw....how`d you come by that 15 number?....you have a hand or foot lopped off somewhere along the line?...
