Washington Post Anti-War Bias

Look at this headline from The Washinton Post:



Oh, my gosh!

The big, bad veterans and war supporters "heckled" the peace-loving demonstrators.

Here's a few photos of those poor, lib media-designated "good guys" who were subjected to all that nasty heckling:

Thousands of anti-war protestors, some carrying yellow and black signs reading 'U.S. out of Iraq now!' marched toward the Pentagon on Saturday, one of a number of protests held or planned around the country and the world.

Can someone please explain to me what the significance is of that yellow/orange/black color scheme?

Halloween is 7 months away.

And nary an American flag in sight!

What's that tell you?

The Gathering of Eagles was a triumph. A small band of patriotic groups from all over the country spontaneously came forward to present a pro-America message in the face of this obviously mass produced anti-American-war propaganda machine.

And if any leftie out there takes exception to my description of these folks as only opposing wars America is trying to win, ask them when these groups came together to protest any other war?

"Heckled" is the MSM catchphrase for "we were more organized and had more people than the lefties"

A.N.S.W.E.R. is one of the main organizers. They're the ones with the black, yellow, and orange banners.

(The group formed just after 9/11 to protest a military response from the U.S.)

I really don't know why they go with the Halloween color scheme.

I guess as communists they'd like to use red but that would be one of the colors of our flag. They probably wouldn't want to be confused with proud Americans.

You're right, Mike. "Mass produced anti-American-war propaganda machine" is exactly what was on display on Saturday.

Compare that with the patriots of the Gathering of Eagles.

And you're right, TM. The lib media's choice of words is very telling.

I was looking at a collection of Reuters photos earlier, and noticed that the word "heckle" appeared quite often in describing the pro-war contingent. And many of the photos had anti-war vets, but zero pictures of pro-war Iraq War vets.

The photos taken by Washington Post photographers are pretty good, though (and seem more balanced)

The counter protesters were definitely considered to be the bad guys by the lib media.

"Hecklers" is such a disrespectful way to define them.

Why isn't chanting "Impeach Bush" or "Bush lied, people died" cast in a negative light?

According to the lib media, as long as it's anti-war, it's good no matter how ugly.
