People under the bus versus people on the bus
We have seen a lot of people come in favor of the Afghan War strategy and a lot opposed. So those opposed are being thrown under the bus by the more war fans on DU. Coincidentally fans of the Afghan War surge are getting lauded as smart, or at least smart on this issue. I thought a handy list would help.

On the bus
----------
Joe Lieberman
Bill Clinton
Bill Kristol
Sarah Palin
John Kerry
John Mccain
Kagan (squared)
Newt Gingrich
General Mcchrystal
General Petraeus

Under the Bus
-------------
Dennis Kucinich
Alan Grayson
Wesley Clark
Jon Stewart
Michael Moore
Cenk Uyghur
Arlen Specter (Bizarro)
Andrew Sullivan
The Nation magazine

add any more that I am missing.

President Obama you can still stop this madness, when you are on the side of Palin/Lieberman/Mccain there is a problem and I know that you know it.

3. In one more year about 20 Senators and ALL house dems come up for re-election...
If I withhold my vote that might send a message that gets through.
No War or No Vote!

8. "more war fans on DU" more inflammatory flame-bait bullshit from you
Can't you make a point without broad-brush attacks on DUers?

10. Show me 3 "more war fans"
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 09:35 PM by HughMoran
I'm sure you can find one, but for such a broad-brush you should easily be able to find 3.

14. Sorry
not going to call people out and violate the rules. Good try. If you can't see one in GD:P then you don't want to see them and I cannot have a dialogue with you.

30. thanks BHN
I may use the ignore button someday, but right now I am more curious in watching the people justfying and even celebrating this abomination and watching their rationalization of it.

Thanks friend.

23. Yes, how can you have a dialog when you can't find a single "fan" of "more war" here
How disingenuous can one person be?

1. "Afghanistan can get bombed into glass for harboring Al Qaeda and OBL."

2. Response to the above: "Exactly!"

Again if you wish to deny there are war enablers, even war supporters on this forum, we have nothing to discuss.

18. The corrupt unelected leader Hamid Karzai,
and his drug-dealing brother on CIA payroll, on the bus.

Glenn Greenwald, Robert Parry, Juan Cole and (most likely) Howard Zinn - under the bus.
