From Michael Moore's YouTube Page: A group of activists dressed as 'Ghosts of the Iraq War' stood and spoke in the Senate.

5. if you want to protest a war
and you want to be taken seriously, don't do it like this. you only make yourself look like a complete idiot.

6. Umm, no, I disagree. Any citizen that wants to protest the war
should protest however his or her conscience will permit. If it is unseemly to some, then too bad.

7. And what have you been doing the past six years?
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 06:32 AM by Hissyspit
I thought it was very moving.

And even if the Senators thought the protesters looked like idiots, they knew what the hell point the protestors were making.
Seems in America over the past six years, any type of protest was only done by "idiots," while everybody else sat at home on their asses and let Bush and his enablers commit war crimes - in other words NO protest was o.k.

Congrats. You've got the right-wing talking points I've been seeing for the past six years down to a 'T.' Welcome to DU.

11. Recommend a better way as writing letters don't work. Street protests don't
work. Voting certainly does not work.
