Anti-War Rally Rife With U.S. Hate

Last weekend's anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., is being hailed as the biggest since the halcyon protest days of the Vietnam war - a claim that seems to surface every time the anti-war left gets together en-masse. Leaving the head-count aside, however, one aspect of the protest glossed over in most media coverage is the distinct anti-American attitude and unbridled hatred that emanated from much of the crowd. Columnist Michelle Malkin captured the flavor of the rally on her photo blog, which offers a cross section of signage from Saturday's gathering.

Some peace placard highlights:

*"9/11 Was an Inside Job"

*"Impeach the Fourth Reich"

*"One Fuhrer was Enough"

*"Stop Facism"
*"Fuck the War"

*"Convict and Castrate Cheney"

The anti-war movement likes to cite recent polls on the Iraq war to bolster their claim: "We're in the majority." We suggest that the next mainstream media poll query respondents on which of the above statements best represents their opposition to the war.
