Daily Kos :: Comments The last refuge of the war supporter

Yeah (none / 1)

That's the oldest trick in the book, the first one they used and it will be the last one: opposing the war = dishonoring the troops. And even telling the truth about war, even if you're for it, is "smearing" our brave soldiers.
It's getting awfully stale.

- For those who made it through (none / 0)
  
  the late sixties', early seventies' anti-war turmoil, it's even more stale. Among the few small differences in invective hurled are, "Get a haircut" and "Go back to Roosha, ya commie pinko fag", though the same mindset that didn't see the redundancy in "commie pinko" still exists, the mindset that still doesn't know what "redundancy" means. It's just a hell of a lot easier to remain obtuse than to see your country as a militarist tapeworm.
