move on was active in organizing the early protests against the war in iraq.
we all know how much love they got from the press.
o yeah, those liberal heroes in the mainstream press stood right on up to bush administration, to conservative domination, to the foul and unnecessary war in iraq and the broader "war on terror" that made it possible.
i was at alot of those protests and have a pretty good idea of just how much love there was. it was easy to see in the tiny paragraphs devoted to the demonstrations which covered the 20 people who'd show up to counterprotest at action which drew upward of a half million people as if they were operating on the same level.
it was easy to see, just like translating those messages from the space alien overlords are if you peer real hard at baseball box scores is easy.
