Poll: 90% of Americans Back the Right to Protest Bush's War |

Poll: Many Back Right to Protest Iraq War
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
An overwhelming number of people say critics of the Iraq war should be
free to voice their objections -- a rare example of widespread
agreement about a conflict that has divided the nation along partisan
lines.
Nearly three weeks after a grieving California mother named Cindy
Sheehan started her anti-war protest near President Bush's Texas
ranch, nine of 10 people surveyed in an AP-Ipsos poll say it's OK for
war opponents to publicly share their concerns about the conflict.
"Part of the Constitution is the First Amendment," said Mike Malone, a
salesman from Odessa, Fla.
"We have the right to disagree with the government."
With the U.S. death toll in Iraq climbing past 1,870 with an
especially bloody August, the public's opinion of the Bush
administration's handling of the war has been eroding over the past
two years.

Free to, yes. And everyone else should be free to point out that
such public support makes the critic a tool of those who want to
kill American soldiers and civilians. If you're OK with being such
a tool, then what does that say about you?

No, Each protest is to try and save our soldiers lives and bring them home
from a war that should have never happened.
Each time you and your cronies say we are anti-american for protesting the
war and Bush, it shows your support for dishonesty, and the murder of our
brothers/sisters/friends.

You're welcome to disagree.

Wow, I've got cronies. How cool is that?

For me to support dishonesty would require that I had
bought into your "liar, liar, pants on fire" view of
the US government. Try harder, please.

When you make a public spectacle of your vehement disagreement,
you help get US soldiers and civilians killed and give aid
and comfort to people who think mass murder is the best method
of international relations. You don't intend that, but you
can't go on and on like you do and pretend that you don't
understand the law of unintended consequences.

The right to free speech includes being responsible

Now, let's turn this around. In the case of being irresponsible with free
speech, you have Pat 'assasinate them' Robertson, Karl 'valerie plame'
Rove, ***** '***** you' Cheney, Rush 'drugs are bad except for me'
Limbaugh......and the list goes on and on and on.
Chances are you'll defend their right to be assholes over a mother trying
to find out just why her son had to die.

over a mother trying to find out just why her son had to die.
In case you haven't been paying attention - which is what
I expect of you at this point - I fully support her right
to engage in her public spectacle. If you do so as well,
then you must also support my right to point out what I
think a likely consequence of her behavior will be, even
if it's something that makes you uncomfortable. Not
that you have to agree, of course - though I would like
to know what thought processes in your head make you
think Mrs. Sheehan *isn't* acting as a cheering section
for the bad guys.

Face it, your hypocrisy shows you can't handle the truth. Sheehan's son
died for NOTHING, but your nose is so far up Bush's lying ***** you refuse to
see it.

So Cindy Sheehan's loss should allow her to dictate the
agenda of the President? And if 1,875 grieving parents
each demand an unlimited number of audiences, what then?
Or is it just the noisier ones with the backing of MoveOn.org
who deserve such concessions?
The president serves us, not the other way around.
You're asking the president to serve *her* - just her.
Why? In particular, what national good do you think
would be served by giving Cindy Sheehan - a woman
who has stated that she's glad Bush hasn't met with
her again, and has as much as said that there's nothing
the president or his advisors could say to her anyway -
unlimited claim to the president's time?

The president should be serving EVERYONE in this country. We don't serve
him.
And you said it...the President's agenda....what about the USA Agenda? Your
hero Bush is leading as if the USA is his own little company, just like the
ones he bankrupted in the past.
So I ask you since you seem to imply you are so intelligent...
What noble cause did Casey Sheehan die for?
It definitely wasn't protecting this country, because it's now more
dangerous for us.
It wasn't finding WMDs because it's already been proven that Bush lied
about them.
So WHAT did he die for?

And he serves everyone, not just her. That doesn't change
just because she made a lot of noise and got a camera

the president on demand? Should I? What's your criteria
for ordering him around?
HE WORKS FOR US! WE PAY HIS SALARY! Just like any other job in the country,
they who pay the wages, are your bosses.
Now answer my question instead of dancing around it.
What did Casey Sheehan Die for?

I haven't been dancing around your question, I've simply
chosen to wait on answering it until you've answered mine.

So you can't answer my question, then? All your
outrage over the president not meeting with Sheehan
was hollow, as you yourself have no idea what would
have been appropriate? If you're admitting that,
*then* we can proceed.

Poll: Many Back Right to Protest Iraq War
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
An overwhelming number of people say critics of the Iraq war should be
free to voice their objections -- a rare example of widespread
agreement about a conflict that has divided the nation along partisan
lines.
Nearly three weeks after a grieving California mother named Cindy
Sheehan started her anti-war protest near President Bush's Texas
ranch, nine of 10 people surveyed in an AP-Ipsos poll say it's OK for
war opponents to publicly share their concerns about the conflict.
"Part of the Constitution is the First Amendment," said Mike Malone, a
salesman from Odessa, Fla.
"We have the right to disagree with the government."
With the U.S. death toll in Iraq climbing past 1,870 with an
especially bloody August, the public's opinion of the Bush
administration's handling of the war has been eroding over the past
two years.

90% of Americans Back the Right to Protest Bush's War.

Gee Harry, it should be 100% of Americans that back the right to protest
the war. They should also back by 100%, the right of anyone to protest
Sheehan or anything else they choose. So where is your point besides on
the top of your heard?
