Anti-war left has trouble convincing Obama followers to protest Libya involvement

Life ain’t easy for an anti-war liberal.
President Barack Obama launched air attacks against Libya eight years to the day George Bush sent bombs over Baghdad. Back in 2003, the lefty site MoveOn.org “flexed [its muscle with] ‘virtual marches,’ in which tens of thousands of protesters jammed Senate and White House phones, fax machines and e-mail boxes with antiwar messages.” Originally founded to encourage the public to “move on” from Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades, MoveOn.org repositioned itself as a heavyweight in the early 2000s anti-war movement.
This time around? A little less than a week after the attack, MoveOn.org has articles bashing “Out-of-Control Republicans in Wisconsin,” but hardly a mention of the bombing in Libya. Well, there is a post noting that John McCain called Muammar Gaddafi an “interesting man” on Twitter two years ago. So much for moving on.
After Obama addresses the nation tonight about the government’s recent intervention in Libya, perhaps the left can coalesce around a message. It’s hard enough when the administration won’t call the action a “war,” but anti-war groups with a traditionally liberal bent are having a tough time rallying those who so adamantly opposed Republican President Bush’s war.

Heh...Ha...HAHAHAHAHA...BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it."The efforts of the government alone will never be enough. In the end the people must choose and the people must help themselves" ~ JFK; from his famous inauguration speech (What Democrats sounded like before today's neo-Liberals hijacked that party)

However, if Obama read like this: President Barack Obama(R-Ill.), you can bet you ass they'd get a protest together before you could say Jack Robinson.

Didn't I tell everybody for years that people will protest a Democrat doing it too? Didn't I say it? Yes I did.

You hate that I was proven right on something.
I remember years ago people claiming people were against war because they were Democrat. I kept saying they'll be against it when it is a Democrat. Nobody listened to me. I could never be right about the anti-war people even if I was around them a lot.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
