A beautiful moment just happened at Camp Casey I. There was a candle light vigil honoring troops who have died in Iraq. The counter protesters came across the street and joined the vigilers at Camp Casey, They shared the flag and prayed together for the families on both sides who have lost loved ones in the war. They are now singing and holding candles together. This is a testament to the power of this movement…

I’m sorry, I know this is a bit off tangent, but: Why does any expression of cynicism about Israel immediately get branded as “anti-semitism”? Are the policies and political leaders of Israel 100% infallible? Are they 100% free from ulterior motives?
Does a single unkind word about the politics of the nation of Israel automatically mean that the speaker is a racial bigot against the Jewish religion, or racially bigoted against anyone ‘ethnically/racially’ Jewish?

It makes about as much sense as hearing your friend say something about China, and you immediately assuming that he doesn’t like egg rolls.

Actually she did go home 2 weeks ago to be with her ill mother. And her son did sign up, to defend America. Not to participate in wars of choice to make Haliburton and Bush/Cheney’s other rich friends, more rich.

“Stay the course” – WTF does that mean!?!

I think this Peace Movement thing is going to start gaining more traction. With the way the majority of Americans are suddenly realizing whats going on in Iraq, no amount of right wing propaganda is going to stop it.

You just have to listen to Cindy speak and look in her eyes and you can see her sincereity and feel her pain. Even though she left to go be with her ailing mother, the movement remains.

The time has come…

I’d like to point out that the little “. o O ( something )” construct is supposed to be a thought balloon, typically used for deep, deep sarcasm. In reality, I think Rove is a spineless wuss who doesn’t have the nerve to mess with Cindy’s mom.
