| The original of this article was from SFGate. This is lifted from Taliban-On-Line, where they love such stories... If a major war breaks out in Iraq, the first thing Rev. Stuart Fitch plans to do is pray, sending love to everyone from Saddam Hussein to President Bush. Then he'll call his congregation to church for a service. "Oh, President Sammy! I lo-o-o-o-ve yew!" And then, perhaps, the 78-year-old There are plenty more people who will be thinking seriously of tossing rotten fruit and the occasional beer bottle at jugheads like Rev. Fitch. I'm thinking about joining them... While the Pentagon has spent the past year training troops, building facilities and stockpiling weapons to launch a war against Iraq, the peace movement has been using the buildup time to coordinate "emergency response plans" to disrupt domestic military activity, tie up commerce and get out their I think it's absolutely ducky that this article is carried on Taliban-On-Line. The very fact shines a searchlight on the pretense of these lackwits. In SFGateland, this is par for the curse; if the did such things where the Talibs were in control, they'd end up dangling from ropes. If they tried such things in Iraq they'd be in jug for years, with daily sessions with pliers and meathooks scheduled. |

| #6 You know what it'll be "The Day Of"... every self-important whack job with a cause from Free Mumia and Fur is Murder to Global Warming and Reparations and everything in between. The anti war stuff MIGHT get fit in there somewhere. Get it all outta your systems folks. The Sixties might be back, but they won't be back for long. Enjoy the jug, Rev. It could be your last shot at the big time. |

| #5 These anti-war types are hilarious. They're going to "disrupt domestic military activity?" And how are they going to do it? Why, they're going to block traffic San Francisco's financial district! The Marines must be scared shitless. This is all a broken record. These guys love wars because it's the only thing that gives them something interesting to do with their boring lives. And what they do is completely counterproductive. |

| #4 Well, excuse me Rev, but "coreographed acts of civil disobedience" sounds a lot like conspiracy to obstruct. Can you say "five to ten in the stripey hole"? I knew ya could... |

| #1 There ought to be a virtual museum of idiotarian speech, columns and posts organized by category: University types, Socialists, pundits, clergy, etc. for future visitors to the WTC memorial and future visitors to the preserved Iraq torture cells will get to hear the apologists in their own words. |
