i have been called many things including a traitor

and i'm sick of it. because i do NOT support this (unjust) war does NOT mean i'm anti-american or a traitor or a terrorist or a fan of osamas (osama is NOT in iraq people). so i've decided to put a link to

an open letter to chris mattews on my sidebar. it calls for an APOLOGY from him for comparing someone who has politics similar to mine, to osama.

and this from seeing the forest - for the trees

The Chris Matthews "Democrats=Terrorists" Fight Escalates

This Frequently Asked Questions post expains why we are so upset, what Matthews said, what we want, and how readers can help pressure for an apology.
6. What will it take for you to call off your protest?
Chris Matthews and the senior management of MSNBC need to publicly apologize for comparing American critics of the war in Iraq to terrorist Osama bin Laden, and both must commit to stop functioning as an adjunct of the right-wing noise machine and to start acting like objective journalists. We are trying to stop this "Democrats = Terrorists" mantra now, before it becomes even more dangerous. ..................
