Letter to the Editor

Peace protesters are really Bush bashers

To the editor:

A member of the Southeast Missouri Coalition for Bush Bashing attacks Jim Krewson as having "blind faith in the Bush administration." What about their blind hate for the Bush administration?

This person contends that his cause isn't politically motivated and he doesn't personally hate George W. Bush. Oh really? His and his group's words and actions appear quite the opposite. Almost every day a member of their little group writes a letter to the editor. They were kind of entertaining at first, but now they're getting very old. It's the same angry bitter rhetoric with some of the words changed to fit the day's current events.

Look at their weekly "We Hate Bush" rallies at Capaha Park. And check out the national peacenik Web site for some real anti-Bush, anti-military and anti-America bashing.

Maybe statements such as "We support the troops" and "We are not politically motivated" are talking points to make them appear more mainstream. They appear anything but fair and open-minded. Their message is, "We hate George W. Bush and will never support anything he says and does and will glory in his failures."
