Hes a peace protestor....NBC is doing its typical leftwing thing and focusing on the one guy with a negative sign....they have shown him half a dozen times already....
 
There were a few more screaming, damn I wish I was there to fu**ing punch them to the ground for doing that.

I'm 100% sure the Democratic party is paying them to do this. (probably CNN is in it as well)

I hate peace protesters, if it was for them, I'd be dead and my country wouldn't have been saved. (same for millions of others around the globe that were saved by the US)

In all cases you hate peace protesters?

Hopefully I'm wrong, I just want a bit more clarification.

You guys watching the McCain speech?


There's a f***ing idiot (traitor) on top of the stands, saying crap and show some sign which I couldn't see the whole thing but it said something about McCain and the war. He should get couple of years in jail IMO for doing such a low thing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm for peace, but these people that call themselves peace protesters hate America with a passion and would love to see it fall to its knees. Just look at their activities. They're against US sending troops abroad, but its that action that in turn saves lives and saves countries.

Hopefully you understand.



As for you jigga, no comment.

I think I misread your comment, my mistake man.

I understand most of your positions even if I disagree a lot.

You can't say you love America and then say that someone is a traitor for voicing their opinions, and saying that jail time is suitable. Sheesh what an overreaction.

Well not jail time of course, but I don't think conventions should be interrupted.

every situation is very, very different. These people care very deeply about their country and that its government act in a sensible, moral, and ethical manner. The great philosopher Bertrand Russell, one of my all-time favorites, probably qualifies as a "peace protester" for getting arrested protesting the Vietnam War, despite being over 80 years old at the time.

I agree, all the speeches were great and to the point.


It would be a shame for America if McCain doesn't get to become the president, he's the best leader, he's given everything to this country and would fight for America until his last breath.

99.9% of those people don't care about their own country. I've seen them at school, they diss the govt left and right, they diss their own country left and right, they should thank god that they're not in China or Russia.

I think that people may have good reason to be upset by some things done by the current administration, don't you? People protest not because they hate their country, but because they want it to be better than it is--because they know it can be better.
 
I don't have a problem with anti-war people. Just the ones who weren't (see the polls at the time) when we went into Iraq and who now say they were all along.
 
I was underwhelmed

w/out his capture and torture, he would have nothing to talk about

what's wrong with changing your mind about something? particularly as new facts are known, or new situations develop. For example, would it be unreasonable for someone initially in favor of the Iraq invasion to reverse viewpoint after the government continued to spend hundreds of billions of dollars rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, while neglecting to repair New Orleans or assist those that lost their homes due to Katrina?
 
See that's the thing, we should stop trying to decipher the intentions our rivals have. Most people don't hate America, they just have different opinions and I don't like the inference that one party is more patriotic than the other. That notion is ridiculous and it is a divisive tactic.

I don't believe any true anti-war person would ever be FOR any war. I respect those people a lot.
 
I'm with Cpaw, without the war story, that speech would've been nothing.
 
I'll catch the replay on CNN/Fox though. :[
