Is that Flatima?
I really can't tell. Click on the "Read More" link below to find the (hopefully) obvious answer. And then ask yourself how original the Left really is.
(The wires, thankfully, are identifying this as a protest organized by Hezbullah. At least we're not expected to believe it's spontaneous, as the press here in the United States tries to portray leftist protests here as...)
Oh, and let's be clear here: These people are not "Anti-War" protesters, by any stretch of the imagination. They're perfectly happy with war, especially on Israelâbut are also very happy to wage war against the rest of what they view as an "imperialistic" Western world.
If one side wants war, and the other side is too cowardly to fight back, which side do you suppose will win?
One thing's for certain:âThe press is not on the same side as the West.

As I call it, a "Target-Rich Environment:"

I love the signs:
Blair. Bush. Olmert: three corns of the devil. (??? the devil raises corn?)
cheering for USA = hating U.K (?? so, they like USA?)
thank you blair for delivering the intelligent bombs. (eh?)
blair, you killer go to hell. (so, does that mean hezballah killers are going to hell too?)
blair, you are not welcome to Lebanon. (so, guess they dont want UK's money for rebuilding. We should pull our money and aid for as long as they continue to spew hatred for us and our allies who are willing to help them)
so, the throng of well-dressed protesting people rises from "hundreds" to the generic term "thousands". Looks to me like several thousands of fascist-loving freedom-haters.
Wonder which photo will make it to the front pages of MSM?? Think the Nazi-saluting pic will??
