anyone here remember how hateful people were back in '02 when we were speaking out against the war? How they call us cowards and sympathizers? I just thought I'd remind everyone who partook of such actions and ignorantly bashed anyone with such terms as "pussy" and "if you don't like it then leave!"

Well, are you happy now?

Thank you for making these clips available. This report is even more timely now than it was one year ago. Our Vice President merely smiles and says "So?" when asked about the country's attitude toward his war. Not just the press, but all of us rolled over and played dead for the propaganda they sold us. Where is the anti-war movement today? We have passed 4,000 dead now, and are into our 6th year in Irag, and STILL no sense of urgency pervades our daily discourse. Whose fault is this?

remember when Republicans said it was unpatriotic to criticize a president in wartime? well, last I checked, this country is still at war, and there's a shitload of conservatives whining their asses off about how much they hate Obama. Funny how that works.
