Quote: the G-man said: You asked for "examples," remember?
Yes, and you provided them. I'm acknowledging that.
Quote: The really radical anti-abortionists (the ones who might be seen as the right wing versio of these clowns) have been roundly condemned by the mainstream GOP. Even John Ashcroft, who is probably second only to Bush himself as the left's bete noir, ordered protection of the abortion clinics and investigation and prosecution of radical anti-abortionists.
I'm not sure I'd say the "really radical anti-abortionists" are necessarily the right wing versions of the aforementioned war-protestors, because to me the really radical anti-abortionists are the one's that kill doctors and bomb clinics. To my knowledge(and at least not in the pictures), the war protestors aren't physically attacking soldiers or captains, they're just holding up extremely radical signs.
I can't say I've heard any prominent Republican condemn the pro-life protesters that hold up radical signs like "God hates abortion doctors". I do know that Bush supports anti-abortionists.
Offhand, the closest thing I can think of to a general condemnation of war-protesters is a proposed bill in Oregon(one of the more liberal states, as touched on in the Hippie thread), which doesn't have much of a chance of being passed.
As this editorial touches on, I think part of the reason war-protesters are so blasted by the war-supporting public is due to memories of tactics used by Vietnam protesters in the 70's, which, were, to say the least, not always terribly well thought out.
