Okay, this is my "how far up his ass IS his head?" expression parte the seconde.

I can't even begin to make this stuff up, but The New York Sun in an editorial called for the suppression of anti-war protests, even going so far as to suggest the protesters be brought up for treason.

Go. Look.

Why doesn't this administration just come out and say they're Nazis and get it over with.

Color me impressed.

MR. FLEISCHER: It is emphatically a patriotic act for people to protest on behalf of whatever cause they see fit in our country. And if some differ with the President and call for the use of no force and take to the streets peacefully to protest that, that's the finest tradition of America. It's not new. It's been the way the American people communicate with their government for hundreds of years. We settle our differences in this country through elections and through peaceful protest. And the majority will will prevail. And the President is confident that when he makes his case, if he makes his case as Secretary Powell has made the case, that the American people agree with him about the risks of allowing Saddam Hussein to continue to have the chemical, biological weapons that he has.

Because of stuff like this. Even they have their limits, it seems.

Grey was telling me about this editorial when we were standing in the freezing cold supporting Kofi Annan yesterday morning. Even educated people can be incredibly fucking stupid. BTW, I added you to my friends' list today. The war has made me aware of a lot of people who are on LJ that I didn't know about. Like Geo, and Misha.
