Network affiliates refuse to run ads critical of their coverage of the crisis in Darfur.

Clear Channel blocks Cindy Sheehan’s anti-war ad.

MSNBC calls the anti-war majority “extremists”.

That was just Monday.

Just what is the proper way to protest the war? We don’t want to offend the right’s sensibilities, now do we?

3 years ago, if you questioned the war, you were a coward and a traitor to your country. Now, you’re an extremist. Have we made progress?

Is there a “How to Protest the War and not offend the Right” ettiquite book?

In 68′ it was “Heck no, we won’t go.”

Is this the politically correct way to protest the war?:

“I say, Sir…Golly Gee wiz, no, we shant not participate”

If think if the right is going to criticize people for protesting the war, they should lay the groundrules for what constintues a proper war protest. Is a candlelight vigil inappropriate? Are bullhorns excessive? Pup tents…uh oh, danger ahead.

They could not be any more pathetic. You can’t make this stuff up.

Be nice, Oliver. The media bobbleheads have spent a long time learning the “skills” they have now, and it will take them a little while to learn how to be real journalists instead of overpaid right-wing hand puppets. Show some patience.
