If it’s ANSWER even Kos is embarassed

As protests go today’s was a bust.

Watching clips of the Answer Anti-War Rally, all I see are things that I want nothing to do with. I am a staunch supporter of Israel, and its fundamental right to exist. I bet you that the majority of Americans who are against the war are too. Yet I watch this rally and see people basically supporting the Hamas, etc., and the suicide killings of innocent Israelis in cafes, on buses, etc.

If you want to break down the coalition of people against the war, turning this into a hate the Jews/Israel party is an easy way to do it. So, I suggest this: back the f–k off other issues, and concentrate on the one issue that unites us

Even the more mainstream Dems realize that they have a huge problem with the loony left.

Get real, Jay. Do you really think those were leftwingers and not right wingers out to make the left look bad? And even if they were leftwingers, this nonsense of focusing on a very small percentage of the protesters is simply idiotic. Is this really the best you can do in the face of massive protests against the war?

LOL.

But Robert how would I know if the protests were massive given that, on your line, all the people who were moonbat nutballs were actually right wingers….I mean there were so many…

Once you discount all the moonbat nutballs as rightwing you are left with what, maybe a couple of dozen actual anti-war protestors.

We heard that even some Dems who traditionally supported the anti-war movement didn’t show (namely Mr. Howard Dean & company). We never know how to read the Dems, one year they’re out protesting, and the next they’re pretending to be Republican-lite.

American politics are weird.

I don’t think Howie goes anywhere that he might be outshouted.

But, more seriously, imagine how much fun the Republicans would have with the pics of Dean and some of the loonier, support the insurgents, left.

“Do you really think those were leftwingers and not right wingers out to make the left look bad?”

Robert, you are just fabulous. You know that, don’t you? This is just such an all-purpose comeback: when you have a successful, well attended event (hey, work with me here) you can claim credit for ‘mobilizing the people’ and empowering the dissaffected. When your gang looks like a bunch of putzes, you can claim that it was the double-secret right whinger counter-activistist team, who just showed up to make the dissaffected look like -well- a bunch of putzes. When nobody shows up, it must be that double-secret vast right whinger conspiracy, who all showed up cleverly disguised as empty pavement…
