Cindy Hunter and her husband, Sam Nickels, opposed Bush's war against Iraq.

"For the last seven months, we've been putting up a sign on our property," says Hunter, a professor of social work at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

At first, the sign expressed the hope that the war could be avoided.

Then, says Hunter, they changed the sign to list the number of casualties, which they periodically updated, and sometimes to list the number of weapons of mass destruction found, which was always zero.

1. typical response of right wingers to facts...

and the truth.

Silence the truth. Terrorize dissenters. Try to silence others by violence against dissenters.

But it never works in the long run.

2. Ever notice it's the bush supporters on the rampage?

When is the last time we ever heard of a progressive or a liberal attacking a Republicannibal?

3. More acts of violence against us from the Right

This is just another example of why I believe the Left should oppose gun control. How many acts of violence perpetrated by the Right must we put up with. If I caught somebody trying to burn down my house, I'd put a fuc***g cap in their ass!
