"The fear that understandably has gripped so many in the U.S. since 9-11 has prompted them to latch onto anything: any remedy for terrorism, no matter how hollow, no matter how unlikely to work it may be. Not willing to seek out alternatives, or think critically about better methods for addressing the problems themselves, they rush to support anything that is offered by those in power; those whom they sincerely believe have their best interests at heart. And then when persons criticize the methods chosen by those in whom the masses have placed their trust, we become the targets of personal attack. We become appeasers, we become supporters of terrorism. We become the enemy. "

alternet.org is a fine name--if taken as veterinary jargon.
The author sounds like he's had his balls removed.

The problem I see for Tom Wise (author of the article), is not that anti-war protesters will be condemned, but rather that they will be ignored.

So, Slater just gave him what he thought was a compliment?

Hard to say, Gorgo. I can't tell if a person is typing in falsetto or not. 
Happy Thanksgiving, you turkey.
