Iran, Just In Time Before the Nov Elections?

Where is Code Pink at? Mass demonstrations against the chief War Criminal? Oh where oh where is the Progressives at in their silly protest at calling for impeachment for Obama's naked use of military force just at the time of his re-election? Yes, I can hear... awh, just the crickets chirping since the left won't do that to their President in any meaning form. Boy, we know which way those guys go when it's not in their political interest, say it ain't so!

We marched Feb 4th - in many cities. The liberal media wasn't there. Admittedly, not a big turn out. People don't want to be part of protests these days - don't want to get pepper sprayed, tasered and arrested.

Were you out protesting - or just listening to the crickets and complaining?

So what city were you in? RCMP beating you all up that badly? Not sure what the point is of protesting in a different country instead in the one you are protesting.

I'll go next time as soon as I find the Soros' sponsored PayMaster's email or mobile number. I want my money just like the rest of them, it's a hard day of work after all, I deserve to be treated like the rest and paid for my work.

Let me correct your failed translation, "No, I wasn't protesting but I am taking a whiz on all those protesters who had wall to wall media coverage when it was a Republican in the White House who aren't doing squat now that their Progressive Idol is now in the White House doing things that other Progressives threatened to impeach a Republic President if he ever dared to do."

Funny how VP Biden ducked the media for over a month after Obama got the US into the Libya Civil War without Congressional approval after he had said:

Fixed, because the actual liberal media, that being made up of blogs and independent news sites were filled with it.

Problem is you'd have to peal your eyes away from, as my old English teacher described it, the idiot lantern, to see it.

And no, the protests weren't as big this time around, simply because a lot of people, having seen the complete non effect of the ones on the run up to the Iraq war, have simply lost faith in the political class and don't believe they'll be listened to.

I think over here at least, the 2003 protests, coupled with all the protests at the cuts coupled with changes in the law and numerous public appearances of MPs dismissing us out of hand have all had a cumulative effect.

We know we're being shafted and ignored. We just don't know what to do about it.

the media may not report it but people ARE protesting and even returning to parks and getting arrested because they have the nerve to Sit Down in a public place.
I know some people.

Only when there is a Progressive War Monger as President. Other wise it's just fine and dandy.

Of course the Progressive Media (ABC/CBS/NBC/NPR/PBS/MSNBC) isn't cover it anymore, it's no longer of political value for Obama.

The media also writes obituary articles about well known people before their death as well. Of course you can pile this on to some mountain of evidence for some conspiracy, but really it's not. Everyone knows there's a high probability of war with Iran right now.

They didn't carry the other protests either.

The media likes to be ahead of the game a little, but doesn't like to waste money on stuff it doesn't need. They ARE a business. Obituaries are a sure thing. Every star will die. However, wars are not so certain. If the networks are throwing resources at a war then they are working under the assumption that there is a high probability. It could be that they are believing their own hype, since they are principles in the messaging advocating for war. They could also have an inside channel. Either way, it doesn't matter, because as an observation it is simply another indicator of the state of readiness and expectation of war.
