I feel some level of satisfaction in that this is _exactly_ what I said in one of my last posts - anti-war people who are themselves criticized instantly cry censorship. What nonsense. If you don't think that many of the most prominent anti-war critics are not, in fact, anti-American, you haven't been paying attention. Read some Noam Chomsky and tell me that one again. It isn't trying to stifle dissent (something that isn't happening, and that no reasonable person could think is happening, or why haven't the brownshirts taken over the New York Times yet?) to call a spade a spade, or to point out the real motivations and actions of some of the people on one side of this debate. Just as in Vietnam, when Jane Fonda revealed her true colors when she went to Hanoi, some members of the far left in this country are showing those with eyes to see what really motivates them. Conservatives (like me) are calling them on it and pointing this out. Then the cries of censorship and fascism take flight, but, you know what? No reasonable person believes them. Maybe in the leftist echo chamber Nick, you can tell other people who already agree with you that those of us who spend some time and effort point out what's really going on are closet fascists, but no one outside that echo chamber is even going to take you seriously, because it's so obviously not the case.
