31. "And these are hardly just innocent protesters"

So the protestors being gunned down in their hundreds are "guilty" of something?

This is an absolutely disgusting sentiment, all the worse because it seems to be the view of the silent majority on a supposedly "progressive" website.

"and trying to set up an alternative government"

They were the fucking government. The democratically elected government.

Amazing what you can get away with when you're dealing with Muslims. Make an intemperate remark about gay people, abortion, or any other cherished bauble of the bourgeois new left and they'll tweet on their iphones till their thumbs bleed. Blow up a hundred people at an Afghan wedding or gun them down in the streets and they'll clap and cheer.

Yeh, I read the New Republic(an)
Rolling Stone and Mother Jones too
If I vote it's a Democrat
With a sensible economy view
But when it comes to terrorist Arabs
There's no one more red, white and blue

CHORUS

Once I was young and had an attitude
Stickers covered the car I drove in
Even went on some direct actions
When there weren't rent-a-cops to be seen
Ah, but now I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
