Wow, the unmitigated simplicity of those on the Pro-war side never ceases to amaze me.Tools like these can be made to swallow just about anything foisted their way by chicken-hawk hucksters. Anyone with the least amount of respect for the military and the use of it's power should be the first ones to be troubled by everything this administration has

done as it concerns Iraq and the treatment of our vets. Most of you express yourselves in the most inane ways and it just figures.

Stevedet,

You got it. While some of the pro-war folks are good, thoughtful people, many of them are simply living in their own echo chamber repeating agit-prop ideas that keep circling around in that airless place called their minds. We tried dialogue, and in most cases it's impossible. If you're in the area, come out and join us.

I'm glad those chicken hawks come around don't come near our peace vigil in Asheville. What a bunch of crazies.

A belated "Hello" to you in Ashville! I made this video. Actually these "crazies" are their own worst enemies up here and their arrival raised interest in the vigil, which is good. "Whatever you do, Brer Fox, don't throw me in the briar patch!" The Briar Patch being attention. All they do is wrap themselves in the flag and feel righteous -- as the world crumbles around them. Belated best to you in Ashville.

OMG Skye, you have such a wide mouth. Yuk. you could probably fit a pistol in there. While you're at it, pull the trigger and do the world a favour....

Willful ignorance at it best.

We were NOT attacked by Muslims on 9/11!

Explain the 3rd Tower to fall on 9/11

Go to buildingwhatdotorg

Wake up and support the troupes by ending these wars based on LIES!

No views?

These people would do better to go to Church on Sunday and pray for our soldiers than wasting their time on a street corner. Prostitues get more done standing on a street corner!

Man, I don't know rocksiphone, the way General Paul keeps calling you (in every single post, without fail) a "gutless, hate-filled, anti-military extremist" has really got thinking I just swing to his side...

What can I say? I'm just a sucker for repitition, however childish or nonsensical it may be.

Perhaps if you just concede defeat to Gen. Paul, he will stop repeating himself ad nauseum and using excessive CAPS and exclamation points!!!!!

One more film you didnt mention-Zeitgeist.

Tania, you prove my point. You've called me an asshole with no provocation on more then one occasion, photo-shopped the message on a sign I was holding and and presented it as fact and you've posted the stupid statement posted below multiple times.Your attempt at being a internet provocateur carries with it a certain

responsibility to those who choose to take you seriously and to those you choose to speak of in a public forum. Hey, I found bunch of pics of you drinking, do you need help?

[skye820]

Hey Steve,

Sobered up yet?

[stevedet]

Hey John, it's me Stephen. You know me. I missed last couple weeks at the vigil. Took kid's up to Cape Cod. I should see you Sat if your there. Take care.
