The Vanishing Anti-War Left

[ignerntbend]

How soon we forget all the screaming and crying from the left from before the invasion of Iraq.

It's less a matter of us forgeting, than a matter of it not being covered in the first place. Based on some current topics on OSA, I'd say that the situation then is pretty similar to the situation now.

You're actually seeing The Nation quoted on OSA at the same moment that another poster is talking about the vanishing anti-war left. I'm not saying it's funny.

I don't think anyone, left or right, has forgotten thousands of dead and tens of thousands of amputees.
Blame the pro-war left again.

Vietnam.
Get snippy again.

There are amputees in every war.

Funny but dumb. Seriously I keep seeing people trying to say the far left calling Obama a war criminal is the same as 90% of the left saying the same about Bush in the run up to the Iraqi war. Not the same at all and is just another example of the double standard used by the left.

Vietnam.
Get snippy again.

Nam was 40 years ago.

Nam was 40 years ago.

Its still in real time for millions of Americans.

Perhaps you need to do a little research.

 

[Hobbes]

What we need is more anti-war protest from the left.
You're gonna get more of that.

Are you on board?
