"Peace" activists gone wild

Will Sarah Palin make a run at the GOP Nomination in 2012?


You're walking down the street when you spot an anti-war protester wielding a peace sign on the corner. Quick, what do you do? Duck!

As we battle global jihad, perplexed and apoplectic pacifists are showing their true colors. Rainbow tie-dye has turned to raging-bull red.

Nobel Peace Laureate Betty Williams displayed what the Australian media called "her feisty Irish spirit" to hundreds of schoolchildren this week in a murder-minded diatribe against President Bush. "I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence,' because I don't believe that I am non-violent," confessed Williams. On the plus side, the rest of the sane world will no longer make the mistake of believing that Peace Prize-winner Williams is non-violent, either (though the Nobel committee took the peace out of Peace Prize when it handed one to suicide bomber manufacturer Yasser Arafat in 1994).

While the kids cheered, Williams, the world-renowned pacifist, fumed: "Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." In America, we don't call this irrational hatred "feisty Irish spirit." We call it "unhinged." Or, as Charles Krauthammer first diagnosed it, Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Williams would no doubt endorse the disgusting comments left on an America Online message board for Sgt. Leonid Milkin, whose wife, two sons and sister-in-law were murdered in Kirkland, Wash., last week while he was serving in Iraq. Human Events Online writer Lisa De Pasquale documented the comments of anti-military Bush-haters:

"Too bad the paid assasin [sic] wasn't home also . . . Got what he deserved for serving an illegal government in an illegal war."

"Maybe he signed up for the wrong profession because who in their right mind would want to be a army man? He should have studied harder in school and found a real job instead of joining the army. Lmao, be all u can be? Don't patronize me ! People who join the army either have no education or come from small towns.. He should blame himself for his family dying due to his lack of education."

"ANOTHER BUSH TRADJEDY [sic] . . . YIP FOLKS HERE ARE 5 [sic -- 4] MORE NOTCHES, BUSH CAN ADD TO HIS BELT." Continued...

Again, with the moral equivalency? Saying any innocent human being deserves to die is absolutely unthinkable in my book. I don't know who made the alleged post you quoted, but such people are not true conservatives. But to compare the murders of a suburban family to the deaths of people in a war zone is utterly ridiculous.

The UN observers who were killed did not deserve to die, but they should have expected to die. They stood and watched as hezbollah thugs set up THREE METERS from their post and launched rockets at non-military targets in Israel. They were being used as cover by hezbollah terrorists, just like the civilians in Tyre and other cities in Lebanon - a tactic that has proven itself to be win-win for the terrorists: Hide among civilians/other non-military targets and launch multiple attacks. Israel will either disregard the attacks because of the number of civilian casualties that would be caused, thus leaving the terrorists to continue attacking. Or Israel will attack sending the terrorists to paradise and their 72 virgins and giving the terrorists a beautiful picture of "disproportionate Israeli retaliation" to put all over the evening news.

The strategy has worked.

It worked on you.
