Well, this is not the least bit surprising:
Well, as of this morning, you can find no mention of the war on A.N.S.W.E.R.’s home page. The group is addressing many other pressing matters, but apparently not the unremitting attack on Georgia. Code Pink? Nyet. Democracy Now!, which is a left-wing media group, has lots of news about American wars on its web page but nothing about Russia or Georgia. Nothing from the comrades at Peace Action. Stop the War Coalition? What war? You can search the home pages of left-wing groups until the cows come home and not find anything on the Russo-Georgia war.
C’mon guys, Human Rights Watch — to its credit — was all over this on Saturday with a boilerplate press release (although you would not know it from the scant press coverage it received, neither Israel nor the United States being involved). The least you can do is copy that one.
So far, at least, it is safe to conclude that these organizations are not so much anti-war as they are anti-American and anti-Israeli. It is useful to clear that up. And, by the way, if they decide to organize massive anti-war rallies against Russia and belatedly reveal themselves as intellectually honest, I will be the first to say so.
It looks like Democracy Now! has a brief mention of the conflict up but TigerHawk’s take on the hypocrisy of the Left remains valid. It would be amusing too, if so many people didn’t fall for it.

What’s the news?
Georgia attacks capital of Ossetia–kills over a thousand civilians in the middle of the night. Russia defends Ossetians from the barbarity perpetrated by Bush’s little punk boy, the Georgian President.
Russia makes moves for regiem change in a psuedo-democratic, puppet government on the Black Sea.
What’s the big deal.
Russian has to put the Georgian president on trial for war crimes. If Bush ok’ed this operation, he will have to be put on trial for crimes against humanity too.
Hey, I guess this is big news! LOL
Putin has punked Bush–and you arm-chair chicken-hawk pussies will do nothin about it. LOL All squawk, no action.
Yes, yes–easier to bomb little counties than it is to take on one more proximate to your size. The problem is you chicken-hawks are ‘super-sized’, fat, stupid, brainwashed consumerist parasites. The entire world hates your fat ass.
Bring back the indians–send the yanks to Austrailia, to the labor camps for these fat bastards.
