So some people don't like the anti-war protesters. To borrow a line from National Review Online editor Jonah Goldberg, who is an asshole, albeit a funny asshole, "an observation like this is on par with the revelation 'Bear Uses Woods for Bathroom.'" Think about it. It's funny. Really.
But c'mon already. Some of these reactions are getting out of hand. From ABC news we learn that, "The insults lobbed at antiwar demonstrators range from Boston hecklers calling them "traitors" to Minnesota's governor proposing that arrested activists should cover their own law-enforcement costs." Cretins are free to hurl whatever insults they want of course. After all, heckling is a mandatory class that all Bostonians take beginning in kindergarten and extending through high school. Plus many of them are....how do you say....ah yes! Many of them are what you call the white trash, yes?
On the other hand, the fucking Governor of Minnesota is now making assanine statements about the protest. I'll go along with his idea right after society starts making murderers, rapists, child-molesters, arsonists, and about three hundred other categories of criminals pay for their "law enforcement costs." Makes you kind of long for the days when that state elected pro-wrestlers to its highest office.
In the same ABC news piece, someone had this to offer: "A lot of people might say [protesting] sends the wrong message to Iraq. But I believe it sends the message that we're a free country." The thoughts of a hemp-wearing, America-hater no doubt! One who obviously has no regard for the safety of U.S. soldiers fighting for...oh wait. It's actually a quote from Major Tony Figueroa, a C-130 rescue pilot. A guy actually serving in Iraq right now, with military experience, unlike certain other characters in the White House who....nevermind. I won't pretend that Major Figueroa speaks for anyone in the military but himself, but the quote is one example among many I've read on how this idea that all U.S. military personnel are gung-ho about an Iraq invasion and therefore you better not undermine them you leftist bastards, is really just a crock of shit. A crock of shit even larger and smellier than Rush Limbaugh's ass I'm afraid.

2) More importantly reports about Pentagon public affairs officers accompanying reporters in Iraq. But of course this wouldn't sterilize the reports at all.
