Where Did All the Anti-War Protestors Go?
John Stossel asks the same question that we here at TAH have been asking since 2008 “Where Did All the Anti-War Protestors Go?“;
…the war in Afghanistan ramped up after Obama was elected. American fatalities shot up in 2009 and 2010.
The protesters have remained silent over Libya.
And I’m struck by the hypocrisy of the supposedly “anti-war” politicians who voted against Iraq, like Nancy Pelosi. Since Obama was elected, she has voted to continue the war in Afghanistan … and supported the attack on Libya.
After the anemic Code Pink/IVAW/ANSWER protest in March of 2008, we asked where the protesters have been. It seems that they weren’t really anti-war at all, but more anti-Bush. The fact that the Geezers For Sitting On Our Hands (VFP) are still trying to impeach Bush (and Nixon apparently) more than two years after he left office is proof.

Up to my car I had to ask “Are you just plain stupid you f$&^ing hippie” My jeep has 10th mtn division plates, I have a 10th mtn division window decal and I had on a Iraqi freedom hat. Crumpled up the pamphlet and tossed it at him.
Good for you, Gmangus. My son was 10th Mtn, too. I occasionally see them around campus (gone back to school for nursing) and laugh in their faces. Sometimes get pissed, depending, and tell them my son went to war so they could continue in their stupidity.
Hey, check the bumper sticker at the bottom, under the wiper blade. “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”. They better get that off the car, dissent is sedition, nowadays.
Yep Jonn, but this is old news. I remember an older study by somebody else, over a year ago.
