I came across this "nugget" of hippy tripe:
Saturday October 28, 5th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, has been declared a national Day of Protest by the Canadian Peace Alliance, Canadian Labour Congress, Canadian Islamic Congress and others calling for an immediate withdrawal of Canadian troops from Afghanistan and an end to the occupation.
It was announced today that Canada is stepping up its aggression by sending 450 more troops and a squadron of tanks to Afghanistan. Poland recently responded to NATO’s appeal for increased firepower by saying it would send 1,000 soldiers.
Canadian soldiers are being sent to Afghanistan as aggressors and occupiers. The tanks are said to be for shock action and to make killing from a long distance easier. Retired General Lewis McKenzie has been quoted as saying “It’s sort of nice to be able to stand back and turn to the tanker and say, "Take that house out’” rather than have soldiers themselves to inside to "clear out the enemy". This open talk of war crimes against an occupied people is not acceptable.
Not a few Canadian soldiers are being killed, some by U.S. forces. What noble purpose are these Canadians dying for? Meanwhile the recruitment campaign is being stepped up with new ads, relaxed fitness standards and the use of monetary inducements to get the youth to join the military.
This summer Canadians rose up to denounce Stephen Harper for calling the U.S.-Israeli war crimes against Lebanon and the Lebanese people “a measured response”. Let us do the same to show that “Canada’s war in Afghanistan” is not our war, no matter how much the Prime Minister, generals and a compliant media try to sell it that way, while in Parliament there is no rational discourse to reflect what Canadians think and want done in their name.
Let us go all out to make the October 28 Day of Protest a true reflection of Canadians’ sentiment against war and occupation and specifically for immediate withdrawal from U.S./NATO’s war of aggression in Afghanistan.
Everyone is welcome to attend this Tuesday’s meeting in the CAW Student Centre at 7 pm. to begin the work of organizing for a successful Windsor action with broad community participation.
Anyone else heard about October 28th? I wish that these clowns would let someone who actually knows what is going on speak, although I realize that it would be an act in futility.
Rest assured, the board that it was posted on go a solid flaming from me, but it will likely be good info down the black hole of pacifist socialism. :threat:

there are a few hippies on that site. I have had a ball shredding their rhetoric. They aren't even sharp hippies like some of the ones that showed up for the Ex Charging Bison thread. These are just misinformed housewives. One of them even let her pacifist husband "guest post" on her account. Oh baby, did he take a beating! And since my regular partner is a mod, it is pretty hard for me to get banned (although you know it's coming). Once nice thing, though. When she posted that topic, there was a fairly immediate and strong reaction against her from other moms who believe in the mission and in the CF in general.
