Mostly victory in Berkeley! Code Pink & Hippie parody collection to celebrate!
Posted by: Neocon in Communism, Foreign Policy, Hollywood, Nutter Butters, TerrorismMichelle lays it down in an after-action report:
The pro-Marines protesters came, saw, and conquered in Berkeley last night–despite massive chaos, anarchy, and police neglect. The City Council partially backed down–conceding it had erred in passing its obnoxious “unwelcome intruders” resolution and granting Code Pink special privileges. The SFChron reports that “some council members added that they felt they owed U.S. troops an apology as well the many Berkeley residents who were ashamed and offended by their position. ‘To err is human but to really screw up it takes the Berkeley City Council,’ said council member Gordon Wozniak. ‘We failed our city. We embarrassed our city.’”
But.
The council refused to officially apologize. And the troop-haters remain unrepentantly bigoted.
Normally you would think that the designation “after-action” report would be overkill for a domestic squabble, but look at some of the outrageously stupid BS that went on last night.
Outside the council chambers, there was an American flag burning, of course. A child’s bike was also burned. Internet photog Zombie has the first of two huge pictorial essays.
Now, for the parodies!

Over 1 million Iraqi men, women, and children have died because of our invasion, but it’s the *MARINES* who keep complaining about their hurt feelings and wounded egos? Someone call Oprah.
If you didn’t want to dismiss an insanely inflated figure from a company that’s primary domain is opinion surveys outright, which you should as it is widely accepted that the death toll in Iraq is ~100,000, then you can take a look here for more a few more reasons why your citation is flat wrong. It’s obvious to begin with that the survey is wrong, but maybe if you read why enough, you’ll get it. Lancet was wrong and funded by Soros, this one is just as wrong.
Not that you care, of course. You’ve obviously got your head screwed on backwards given that your gut instinct is to complain about and defame the people who defend our country and give their lives for our freedom and the freedom of others. Have fun with your lunacy. The reason your response got published in the first place was to show readers that there really are people as misguided as you are in real life.
