The Vanishing Anti-War Left

[ignerntbend]

This Just In: Protests are popping up all over the country, but they're only being covered by obscure sources like Reuters and USA Today.

As for the "vanishing anti-war left" - MoveOn.org took a poll - vote was 73% AGAINST the war, MoveOn is now actively campaigning agianst. (yes, I'm a member of MoveOn, kind of a touchy-feely guy you know)

I see no vanishing. I wonder what AIPAC's stance is?

Well this is ironic. The very thing they were campaigning against is in charge.

14 Principled Anti-War Celebrities We Fear May Have Been Kidnapped
Our government is yet again marching us towards a war of choice in the Middle East and our non-partisan, peace-loving celebrities have gone missing since late 2008. We fear the worst.

Broncobama is going to lose the pro-war vote in both houses of congress next week.
It's not because of the "vanishing Anti-war left"; It's because the pro-war right wing has seen the light of a peaceful world.

Praise the lord and pass the biscuits.

Fourteen quotes from fourteen celebrities none of which contains the words "Iraq" or "Bush"
Funny too that many were made after 2008. The guy that collects the content should collaborate with the guy that writes the headline. Buzzfeed has a reputaion to protect. Drop that in the suggestion box.

The Vanishing Anti-war left is the most overwhelming obstacle this country faces.
How are we to conduct a proper war without the left?

This blame Bush/Republicans card that is being played way too many times and is getting very old. Obama told Republicans they lost the election and to deal with it. And now you telling us that Syria is the fault of the Republicans? Barack(Alfred E.---What, me worry?---Newman) Obama drew the red line in the sand and now he is saying it isn't his problem and immediately starts shifting the blame.

 

[ignerntbend]

Bush is not responsible for the Syrian situation, but you are responsible for the false and absurd comparisons that you have made in this thread.
