Turning tables on 'traitor' talk

Let there be no doubt, then, that the war we’ve got, where there aren’t enough troops to secure the country, where IEDs pose a far greater danger than frontal assaults, where the enemy melts back into the population after dropping a few mortar rounds on American heads — this is the war conservatives gave us via their arrogance and ignorance.

Americans know it, and that frightens conservatives. Which explains why they’ve used the term “treason” with increasing frequency these past few weeks; it’s a way of obscuring their own, exposed inadequacies.

But who really betrayed their country? Those who said turning Iraq into a democracy might be harder than we imagined, or those who ripped the realists as cowards?

Those who said we needed more troops in Iraq or those who said such an attitude was defeatist?

Whose recklessness squandered their nation’s blood and treasure?

2. Dear media: More like this, please!

A few more firebreathing commentaries like this would help. And by "a few" I mean "thousands." :D

4. Republicans need to be asked:

what if your leader is working for some-one else, not for Americans?

(The ports issue was the first time they probably started to suspect this for themselves).

5. Keep fighting this

I dont' care which side of the battle you're on, you can't stand for freedom of speech and simultaneously say some speech is not allowed because it's treasonous. THAT is anti-American.
