THE NEW OLD ANTI-WAR GANG

The anti-war gang continues its quest for publicity at its tent camp near President Bush's Texas home.
Are these folks trying to re-live their youth, those happy days when draft cards were burned and used to light the marijuana joints? Are they seeking to go back to those long-haired, hippie protest days?
The answer is yes and no. Certainly there are many among the Crawford protesters who are stuck back in the anti-Vietnam War protest template. However, there is a new and sinister tone to this protest. The names of many of the supporting groups sound much like the old Communist Front groups of the Vietnam War era.
Fading anti-war celebrities are finding their way to Crawford. Joan Baez has already arrived, so can Willie Nelson be far behind?
Then there is the ever present rabble rouser known as Reverend Al Sharpton. His link up with the Crawford protest should foreshadow the appearance of the rest of the gang, probably led by a withering Julian Bond.
And where is Jane Fonda when you need her. Fonda is probably too high priced to make the trip to Crawford, Texas. But then, again, George Soros has unlimited funds so we may be able to hire Fonda after all.
Meanwhile, our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan look on at this pathetic bunch of Americans giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It's the same old Vietnam War song being sung largely by the same gang of has-beens. But by now the singing voices are old and tired and the performers are equally outdated.
