[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 301125, member: 2189"] D, I think the anti-war label has gone much further. I agree that much of the anti-war tag is intended to suggest at the psy-ops level(thrown about by political wonks of the Neo-Cons and fellow travelers) a connection with 60's radical hippies (hey, I was a hippie once :wink2:) but it's gone much further to be used against everything from anti-empire types like Ron Paul to Pat Buchannan to Ralph Nader to libertarians (especially Rothbardian types) anti-state and anarchist to the traditional liberal or hardcore left. To say purely a tool to slam democrats is not looking at the big picture but democrats sure get their fair share at least from the barking dogs! You'll also notice here from time to time that when people object to the war policy, they are lumped into the "democrat" or "lefty liberal" camp when a quick read of other posts clearly show those posters are in fact nothing close to that. The whole process IMO is nothing but a convient tool for those lacking the ability to discuss all facts and ideas on a subject but then again, we're all human so there you go! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
