CNN: "Huge Rally against Iraq War"

A few days ago I posted an item that quoted Bush's Brain (Karl Rove) as saying, "Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real anti-war movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an anti-war rally...".

It's weird how, as we get older, time seems to telescope down in a strange way. Seems like it was just a few years ago when both Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were quoted regurgitating the same kind of drivel.

Excuse me, guys. You wanna do a quick comparison between this "huge" gathering, organized to voice opposition to your murderous oil-for-blood exchange, with the feeble exhibition you staged with the Pentagon on 9-11 of this year? Yeah, maybe part of the reason no one showed up was the discomfort they felt at your brazen and arrogant use of the 9-11 anniversary to stage your "Pro-War" event. But I'd bet just about anything that most of the folks who managed to avoid your shindig made their decisions based on questions of a much more basic nature. Hell, I'd bet that they were turned well off their feed long before the question of bad taste ever even came up.

Sorry, guys, but it doesn't look too good for you. If we've learned anything from history at all, we should be able to look at these things and see that it all adds up only one way: You Lose!

  • The coverage of the marches was pretty pathetic. 100,000 showed up on Saturday to protest the war, and 400 showed up on Sunday in favor of it.

    The press coverage was trite, and more than a little biased. AP described the Sunday "march" (more of a mill-in) as being "in support of the troops."

    'Scuze me?!? Are we going to allow the warmongers to claim they have the flag, apple pie, and motherhood, too? Some of us are old enough to remember the results of that last time. Nixon's strategy and Rove's are one and the same.
