Either they don't really give a shit about the war and only protested it because Bush was in office, or the media is so biased they aren't covering any protests because it would, again, make Obama look bad. And I patiently await a Micheal Moore movie blasting the continuing wars. |
Mostly it's the former, with a bit of the latter. The few sincere hardcores like Code Pink went from being heroic rebelettes with a cause to... nonexistent, if you didn't know better. You can still catch them on YouTube, but these days media won't touch Medea. (lol c wat i did ther)
For my part, I really miss Franklin being taken wildly out of context and that one fabricated Jefferson quote about dissent being the highest form of patriotism. It was adorable to watch the left pretending to be skeptical of power when they didn't have any.
