I'm listening to Alan Colmes and he says to a caller that there was no substantial anti-war movement to protest the Iraq war. Just stop. Really? Uh, no, there were hundreds of thousands that showed up to protest, let alone the many others that supported the anti-war movement but couldn't show up for the protests.
The fact that the media didn't report the movement doesn't mean that it didn't exsist and wasn't large in numbers. I'm so sick of this dog and pony show.

Shrill- Telling the unpopular truth. The polar opposite of a pundit whose slavish devotion to mainstream approval leads him or her to frequently wrong conclusions (see Serious person). Someone dubbed shrill can be reliably accurate but nonetheless ignored for stepping outside the acceptable range of political opinion (see Overton Window). Particularly hated by Villagers, Beltway insiders, and serious people because their example makes it impossible to claim that everyone believed a point that turned out to be wrong (e.g., WMDs in Iraq). Notable shrill people include Howard Dean, Al Gore, and Paul Krugman. The correct usage takes the form Paul Krugman is shrill. It should be noted, however, that Michael Moore is not shrill; rather, Michael Moore is fat.
