Oh. my. gawwwd. The left has spoken, the fight is truly on.
"To be pathetically feeble, I mean to be clear . . ." (none / 0)To be clear: I'll support Obama down the road against Sarah Palin, Lou Dobbs or any of the pitchfork carriers for the pre-Obama era. But no bumper sticker until the withdrawal strategy is fully carried out.But for now, the fight is on.
So, Tom Hayden's anger contained strictly within whether or not his car will sport an Obama bumper sticker, despite everything there's no question he'll be voting Dem next Presidential election. If that is how circumscribed progressive anger will be at this anti-progressive President (gosh golly I thought Tom might actually consider voting for, or at least supporting in the damn 2012 primaries, a candidate for President that was actually, you know, progressive), surely Obama is LMFAO NOT-shaking-in-his-boots.
Hey Tom, get back to us when yah grow a pair.
Tom, Tom, there was a time when you helped make an antiwar movement. Preemptive loyalty oaths are NOT part of one. Y' know, though Chicago 1968 was Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin's time, you were there too. Remember? But yeah, what a long, strange, downward slide it's been since then. Anyway, here's what real, angry, creative, attention-getting antiwar protest looks like:
The Yippies present their presidential candidate, Pigasus the Pig.
Grant Park.
Jerry Rubin of The Chicago 7 (Abbie Hoffman on the left, Tom Hayden on the right), and Jerry's girlfriend, Nancy Kurshan.
Okay, let's face it, the antiwar movement's not up to the 1968 vets anymore, though. I ask again, college kids, where are you?
