#1 Am I the only person who realizes that this is naked authoritarianism? We are so used to it anymore, we just shrug it off, and the media (another band of self-appointed rulers and arbiters) simply treat it as the peace movement's due.
To hell with elections and the legislative process, the peace hypocrites alone have the right to decide policy and they will physically block anyone from doing otherwise.
This movement is entirely about power and authority, and forcing others to accept what has only been presumed rather than earned.

#2 AC, of course ya'r not the only one.

The question is what antidote to apply. Athough, one can argue whether we are talking about poison or rather a pandemic vector of some disease. A disease, because ultimately, moonbatism is inherently destructive (primarily auto-destructive, but its destructiveness affects much a wider pool, of course). I'll write more about it when I put my finger on it.

#3 Nah, it's just self-centered childishness.

"I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue, then you'll be sorry and gimme what I want! And then I'm gonna cry until your ears bleed!"

#4 yeah, but he's the chairman of the Deomcratic Congressional Campaign Committe. Those of us old enough to remember the good ol' sixties have to relish the irony of this moment. hahaha. Should have died at 29.995 and you could have lived the dream.

#5 I'd propose to lock the doors, close the blinds, get a louisville slugger and beat every one of these to a pulp. Then pitch their bodies in the river, but that's just me. I'm a softie that way....

#6 Burning the ROTC building and trashing the business district of Ravenna wasn't smart either. For all the hand wringing and apologies, notice how many colleges burned after four were shot at Kent State? They're tough when it was shouting for the overthrow of the lawfully elected government, but suddenly they became 'our children' when the historical response was played back at them. This is just more examples that liberals are just adolescents that never grow up and take responsibility for their acts.

#8 The great advantage of these high-profile Bolshevik agitators, (as opposed to, say, garden-variety media terror-shills) is that they can be ridden down in the streets Cossack style; once we equip the mounted police with the requisite fur hats and sabers, of course. Quite an entertaining spectacle by all accounts.

Something a lot like this happened in LA during a Moonbat riot a few years ago. A surly mob of lefty blackshirts were milling around in a parking lot, responding with obscenites when told to disperse. The mounted police showed up (sans sabers, sorry to say) and charged. The Moonbats fled in all directions, some probably so fast they left their birkenstocks sitting on the asphalt.

#10 Someone pointed out on TV last week that the MSM fails to show the "protestters" for what they are. They always show firey speeches and chants but they don't show the true nature of the rank and file. Never do you see on TV the Anarchists, Commies, and Socialists that make up 99% of each rally. I think they are embarrrassed to show them.

#12 Actually, CyberSarge, I was watching CSPAN the other day when they were having a demo, I think in or near the Pentagon parking lot. One of the speakers started in about how "free" and "liberated" the people of Cuba are under Fidel Castro. This is no joke. She was serious. She was an outright, full-fledged, card carrying Communist and the people in the parking lot applauded her. The irony is that committed Communists like her would never hesitate to resort to violence and they don't give a rat's ass how many people die. They only protest the war because they hate George Bush and they hate America. I'm sure she had no problem with the Soviets invading Afganistan. I just couldn't believe she was so up front about it.

#13 John Murtha, hero of the war protesters. Big sloppy wet kiss from the WaPo today.
