Everyone has been angry on this board in the past on other topics (you know the old "the leftists are angry because they're called unemployed, troublesome terrorists-lovers and the rightists are angry because they're called abortion-clinics blowers" misunderstanding is not a first), including sum1, so no one can be singled out or be excused with a mere 'she/he didn't deserved that'. And I believe sum1 is a he. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

Anyway, we should move on and go back on topic.

and the issue is why is it that no one has a problem with the "i love ny better w/ out the towers" unless they're on the right... or do you agree with them?

Actually I think this slogan is rather stupid and totally non-related to the core of the topic of Iraq.
I've always been wary of the association war in Iraq/war against terror because I think that these are distinct and separate wars (hence the disagreement on the existence of WMD), even though Bush tries to convince everyone of the contrary. I think it's unecessary to bring the NY/Twin Towers topic out to protest against the war in Iraq, but if that's what those demonstrators really think, well, that's their constitutionnal right to say so. Even though I think some of their slogans are pretty stupid.

But as Johanna's "blowing-up clinics" argument aimed to point at (even though it has been totally misunderstood), I do believe not all anti-abortion people spend their free time blowing up clinics, and I think some people here should give the anti-war people credit for not being all Intifada-lovers or unemployed lazy asses, just because of some shocking slogans. Especially not in this board, where the mentioned topics have been discussed endlessly, and where opinions of each are pretty much known by all.
