RUSH: A question, ladies and gentlemen, here from the San Francisco Chronicle. Headline: “Where are the Peace Protests Over the Syria Bombing?” by Kevin Fagan<\/a>. “Maybe it\u2019s war fatigue.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, see, these Occupy Wall Street and the global warming protesters and the animal rights activists and the feminazis, they\u2019re just worn out. They don\u2019t have the energy to protest the war anymore. They don\u2019t have the energy to demand peace right now. They\u2019ll get going in a while but they gotta regroup \u2019cause they\u2019re just worn out. “Maybe it\u2019s war fatigue. Maybe climate change is consuming all the protest energy right now. Maybe momentum just needs to build.<\/p>\n

“But most likely, all of the above are the reasons antiwar protests didn\u00c2\u2019t erupt throughout the Bay Area, veteran activists say, after US warplanes roared over the Syrian border Tuesday to bomb more than a dozen enclaves of Islamic radical jihadists into rubble. Some activists even conceded that many people weren\u00c2\u2019t going into the streets because the militants being targeted deserved to be dealt with, if not killed.”<\/line><\/p>\n

So, you see, the reason there isn\u2019t a peace protest is because these people are leftists and they\u2019re not gonna protest one of their own (unless it just gets out of hand like it did with LBJ and the Vietnam War). But they\u2019re not gonna start protesting for peace, and they\u2019re not gonna complain. When is the last time you heard a peace activist suggest that people targeted by the US may, in fact, have “deserved” to die? When\u2019s the last time you heard that? <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never heard that. I have never heard left-wing peace protesters suggest that targets of American bombs deserve to die. “By Tuesday afternoon, there were still no loud demonstrations to be found. Major military incursions in years past launched seas of banners down San Francisco\u2019s Market Street, but this time? Nothing — at least right off the bat. ‘People are war-weary and have already been very disappointed in President Obama for some time,\u2019 said David Hartsough, executive director of the Peaceworkers anti-war group in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

“He said he and other longtime activists are outraged at the bombing and believe nonviolent solutions to jihadist terror would be more effective — but the groundswell to hit the streets just isn\u2019t there.” So they must not really believe in anti-American militarism. It\u2019s selective opposition. They must not really be the peace movement. When\u2019s the last time the peace movement ever said anybody deserved to die except an American soldier? Hartsough also said, “I think a lot of people are focused on the climate right now, especially young people.” <\/p>\n

What, can you people not chew gum and walk at the same time? If you\u2019re totally devoted to the climate change that means you don\u2019t have time or energy to protest death? I mean, let\u2019s face it, you people in San Francisco, you gotta shape up. You\u2019re letting us down here. I\u2019ve got Slim Whitman ready to go<\/a> as our theme song for the global peace march, the anti-nuke faction. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got it queued up, I\u2019ve got it ready to go, and you are letting me down! Where are the peace marches? Where are the peace protests? Where\u2019s the anger over death caused by American bombs? I mean, at least in your theory, if global warming is gonna kill people it\u2019s gonna take centuries, by your own definition. But people are dying instantaneously because of American ammunition, and where are you? What a flimsy excuse!<\/p>\n

You people on the left, you peace protesters, you\u2019re really embarrassing yourselves, and you\u2019re letting me down. I had so much hope. I came to the program today with such lofty, elevated expectations. Slim Whitman wants to be part of the program again, and what are you doing? You\u2019re lazy. You\u2019re making excuses. “Yeah, well, maybe they deserve to die — and, you know, we\u2019re so worn out trying to save the atmosphere.” Flimsy excuse. That doesn\u2019t count for anything with me, I just want you to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
