LTTE in today's Arkansas Democrat Gazette says the Boomers are against Bush and his
'war in Iraq' because we're jealous that this 'new' generation will 'win'. Claims that because we (the drafted) lost VietNam, we just don't want to see a 'victory' in Iraq.

Now this must have been planted in this person's brain somewhere, so which Fox 'host' or radio personality started this?

3. Yeah, that explains it all
Because all the protesters were from the vietNam generation. Every last one. Including the hundreds of thousands of 20somethings too - they just quit aging. Including the Raging Grannies too - they just got older faster than everyone else. They're all baby boomers that are pissed that they're not getting any more attention.

Can we please have a national mental health policy now?

4. As a Baby Boomer and a former resident of Arkansas
I must say we have been discovered. I think we should escalate the war in Iraq, invade Iran, bomb North Korea and arm all college students. I mean what could be more American then massive death and destruction. I wonder why the motherfucker who wrote that letter is in Arkansas and not in Iraq.

9. I'm another one
I'm from Fort Smith, Arkansas, and have spent a fair amount of time in the Ozarks. It looks like we've been found out.

13. Roger that teammate
I recall all the subversive activity while I was a student at UA in the 70's. And remember who was there? Bill Clinton. In fact, Clinton was so fucking powerful that he was in a tree overlooking Razorback Stadium in December of 69 during the Game of the Century and in Cambridge England at the same time. No wonder conservatives are parnoid. And don't ever tell anyone what Go Hogs Go really means.

5. Take it with a grain of salt
This is the same paper that printed the LTTE claiming that Daylight Savings Time contributed to global warming because of the extra hour of daylight.
:rofl:

6. Sounds like Limbaugh
He is a self-loathing Boomer. After 9-11, Rush was going on about the response of Gen Xers to the tragedy, and how essentially the Boomers dropped the ball during Vietnam. What a hypocrite.

10. That would be butt-pimple deferment Limbaugh?
Or whatever his name was at the time he dodged the draft. That Limbaugh?

12. Yep. That's why he's a mouthpiece for the crime family.
Hypocrisy is a job requirement.

7. Maybe because
we experienced Nam firsthand, and Iraq not only brings back very painful memories, it is even WORSE than Nam.

How about we NEVER LEARN??????

8. And in which branch of the military is the author of the letter serving?
Didn't think so.
