"TRAITORS GO TO HELL"
I just saw one of the Flag-wrapped types in DC holding a sign that read:

TRAITORS
GO TO
HELL

So we are Traitors, eh?

I would like to see his service record.

5. But I'll just bet..
that you wouldn't wrap your self up in a flag and fling epithets at folks who happen to be against the "Wae", either.

Those asshats remind me of the self-described "Hardhats" of my era.

Their hats were the only thing "Hard" about them.

4. I noticed that CNN's brief coverage
was limited to a few distance shots of the peace demonstators, then closeups of that sign and a couple like it, and a clip of a rw'er ranting about the protesters being anti-troop and how he and his buds were there to look out for them

7. CNN camera angles were interesting, indeed.
Thin sidewalk shots of the anti folks and flag-filled wide shots of the nutjobs.

6. Nothing wrong with the sign...
...it is simply stating a truism. In a moral sense, we can say with certainty that traitors do, indeed, go to hell.

Unfortunately for the sign holder, he is confused about who the real traitors are.

8. I'd just assume it was a reference to the administration.
My vet BIL stopped to watch an antiwar demonstration and one of those nitwits got in his face. The BIL looks about as threatening as Casper Milquetoast and the "patriot" was twice his size and mouthing off about the "cowards" who were against the war. The BIL maintained his composure, stated his Vietnam tour dates and places and asked the guy about his. That shut him up.

9. What he doesn't know ... we're already in hell.

We've been there for the past six years thanks to the corrupt BushCo regime.

13. It's worth examining what "hell" is supposed to be.
According to John Paul II, it's nothing more or less than after-life without God. No fire, no eternal suffering. Just after-life without God.

ooh. I'm so scared!

18. Well, it's more interesting when you consider Lucifer's "sin" was to refuse to love mankind ...
... claiming he loved only God. God then condemned Lucifer to be forever out of the sight of God - deprived of what he professed to love most - for failing to love mankind as God's children.

While this mythology/theology predates Chrisitanity, I find it hugely ironic that those who profess to love God are repeating the "sin" of Lucifer themselves.

32. God don't like the tone of this!
after reading your reply, God possibly paced up and down, thinking perhaps you outta be smited, or your crops locust afflicted, or something, but as you're still here, it appears God just shook his head and said 'fukkit'...you're very lucky, maybe(?)

15. My definition of a traitor ...
Anyone who would place that label upon those exercising their right to freedom of expression, and upholding their responsibility to question those in power and hold them accountable.

23. I saw maybe a 12-second clip on CNN.
Then they went to a 5-minute segment on Brother Warren Jeffs.

Typical.

The penalty for treason is death. So I don't wanna call anyone for his or her death.

34. well, that and
the lying about the WMD data, and lying in general

Since it is the job of the executive to "faithfully execute" the laws of the land, and they executed a scam to divert our defense resources from pursuit of the sworn enemy who had already attacked us, I'd call that aiding and abetting the enemy

31. a traitor is someone who turns their back on
the people of their country- the only traitors i'm aware of are those who care more about money and power than the good of this nation.

36. I wonder if the message by 100,000
"traitors" that this war must end overwhelmed the poor freeps. I mean, if you think we are the traitors, then they must feel overwhelmingly outnumbered. Does it not compute for them that there are only 7 1/2 of them against millions of us? Do they actually think that the few of them are the true patriots and the rest of the entire country are "traitors". God help the poor things.

38. Frankly, I'm surprised he spelled 'Traitors" right.
Right-wingers are notorious for poor spelling in their signs.

39. Who cares about "his service record"?
What does that have to do with having an opinion on treason?

Is that something reserved only for the praetorian military class?

Would his opinion suddenly become valid if he was some kind war hero who had killed lots of gooks or hajis for Uncle Sam?
