Has anyone noticed how all network news programs

are calling the protestors in London "anti-American" protestors. I've looked at the pictures and these people are anti-Bush. The signs say nothing about America. These media whores won't make Bush responsible for anything. Not even the hatred he inspires.

2. Yeah, it is too bad...

... that they use the word "anti-American". That's like somebody saying they're anti-British. They're not protesting against Americans, they're protesting against the leader of the United States.

That said, I suppose there could be some validity in saying some of the protesters are "anti-US", after all, they were burning the United States flag over there. And since Bush is representing the United States and we "elected" him, it's more than just being anti-Bush in some of the protesters minds I would imagine.

3. Americans are too stupid to make the distinction.

Sorry. Blame the repugs for their purposefully keeping the public ignorant.

4. We must keep Bush in his rose colored bubble

Do you recall how they hide him in Texas so he would seem to stay out of the Fl mess? They do this with all that stuff.

6. Yes, but it was statue of Bush, not America, that they pulled down

Our media is useless, hopeless,clueless.

I get most of my news from the international print media on the Net.

7. While I have seen lots of Anti Bush and Anti War signs

I have also seen at least a few American flags being burned on TV. I personally would say that there is a mix of emotion there.
