Wrong Answer
The anti-war movement ain’t what it used to be…last winter.
(Page 2 of 2)
The anti-protesters carried signs with slogans such as, “We Gave Peace a Chance, and We Got 9/11” and “End Arab Occupation of Jewish Land.” For their troubles they faced a near media blackout, were threatened and harangued by the pacifists, and their porta-toilets were stopped up several times by activists.
I don’t mean to underplay the entertainment value of Saturday’s protest: It beat any number of new movies hands down. But if the anti-war movement continues to be spoken for by muddle-headed Stalinists, it may suffer some blowback of its own. If a vote for Bush becomes a vote against the dread-locked girl in a ripped tank-top that reads, “Bleed Capitalist Pigs,” it isn’t even going to be a close call.
