A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

And you should stop trying so hard to twist reality into a Vietnam-derived wet dream about hippies disrespecting protesters. As you read in the NYT, most of the veterans who were at the Mall were protesting the war.

From every account I linked to, the "reality" at that rally was a Vietnam-derived wet dream of a bunch of dancing hippies and Hanoi Jane.

Sounds like the plaza outside our old office on a daily basis.

I don't recall that you linked to any accounts. You mentioned the NYT account, but if you think it evokes a Vietnam-derived wet dream of dancing hippies, you haven't been getting any for a long, long time.

I grant you that Jane Fonda was there, and perhaps that's all it takes to get a conservative all excited.

Susan Surandon, Martin Sheen, Jane Fonda, Flags of Cuba, Peace signs, tie die shirts, folk singers, everyone singing blowin in the wind, pictures of skeletons wearing military uniforms, speeches about evil American imperialism, - what about the demonstrations was not similar to a Vietnam era peace demonstration?

Was the spittee just standing there observing? Or was he busily calling everyone "terrorist"?

I linked to several accounts - with photos - in a response to GGG's glowing description of young, beautiful protestors (or some other gack like that)

Unlike the 06' hippies, the 60's hippies didn't waterboard each other for fun.

Good times, good times.

PS - the plaza behind my new office is worse, if you can believe it.

How close does it have to be? Is intent part of the equation? How about likelihood of contact of saliva with person given the distance between the spitter and the spat upon?

Seinfeld already broke this one down

U.S. missile defense maturing, latest test a success
Mon Jan 29, 2007 8:14pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Within a year, the U.S. missile defense system should be able to guard against enemy attacks, while testing new technologies, the deputy director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency said on Monday.

The United States activated the ground-based system last summer when North Korea launched one long-range and six short-range missiles.

North Korea's intercontinental Taepodong 2 missile fell into the Sea of Japan shortly after launch but the short-range tests appeared successful, said Brig. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly, deputy director of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency.

O'Reilly said there would be no formal announcement that the system was operational. He predicted the capability to defend against enemy missiles and to continue testing and development work would be achieved within a year.

"It's just a matter of maturation," he told reporters after a speech hosted by the George C. Marshall Institute, a public policy group.

O'Reilly said work by North Korea and Iran on long-range ballistic missiles underscored the need for a viable U.S. missile defense system.

The war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militants last summer also highlighted the dangers of ballistic missiles and their use by non-state actors, he said. "We know we must be prepared for all contingencies."

O'Reilly said the missile defense system, which includes sea-based and ground-based interceptors, and powerful X-Band radar systems, achieved success in 14 of 15 flight tests.

Through the end of 2007, the program will focus on protecting the United States from threats from the Middle East and North Korea, expanding coverage to U.S. allies and boosting protection against shorter-range threats.

In 2008 and beyond, there would be increased focus on countering unconventional attacks and increasing the U.S. inventory of interceptors and sensors, O'Reilly said.

On Saturday, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), built by Lockheed Martin Corp, intercepted a target shot from a barge. It was the first test of THAAD since its move to the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii.

Two more THAAD intercept tests are planned for 2007, along with three tests of the Aegis Standard Missile-3 interceptors against short- and medium-range targets, O'Reilly said.

The agency also plans two tests of long-range ground-based interceptors in late spring and early fall.

The United States has 14 interceptors in Alaska and two in California, primarily to counter North Korea. O'Reilly said the number in Alaska would grow to 21 within eight months.

By 2011, plans call for some 40 interceptors in Alaska and four at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, he said.

He said negotiations were just beginning with Poland to host up to 10 ground-based interceptors and with the Czech Republic about fielding an advanced radar station.

Asked about the concerns of Russian officials, O'Reilly said the United States was talking with Moscow and hoped to convince it that placing U.S. missile defenses in eastern Europe could also enhance Russia's security as well.

He gave no timeline for completing negotiations with Poland and the Czechs, but said the United States was "always looking at all our options" if either country chose not to proceed.

"We'll have to see how it unfolds," O'Reilly said.

You answer your own question. In one word, authenticity. It was done once before and was breaking new ground. It actually created a change in our culture that was needed.

The new McProtest is 100% plastic, infantile and derivative in all the wrong ways. The kids out there aren't living in fear of a draft. They're fat, stupid dreadlocked doctors kids from the suburbs who desperately want to feel connected to something.
They want to recreate the 60s, which explains in a nutshell everything rotten, craven and imbecillic about their idiot displays.

If you're not even creative enough to come up with some new way of showing displeasure and teen angst, you have no business protesting - you deserve to be an accountant or a real estate agent. Stop kidding yourself and go get the job you know you'll have. Leave changing the world to someone with an imagination.

2. In the modern day, at least the WTO kids were at the top of the game. These fools are wussies of the worst kind. Although frankly, while I know I will go down with my home defense systems blazing and taking as many Islamofacists with me as possible, it would to be fun to be around for the Islamic takeover of America for no other reason than to see these morons balling their red eyes out when faced with the reality that the Islamofacists hate them worse than they hate the patriotic Americans and their leader W, and accordingly are really going to make them suffer before sending them on to hades.
