The above links to an article about a recently returned veteran of military action in Iraq who was marching in a parade and was saddened to hear people calling out, "Murderer," "Baby killer," and that sort of thing. That's something I never understood about anti-war protesters, even back in high school when I thought I was all anti-war and liberal. You might be against a war, and think that the people in charge are criminals for starting the war, but people like the kid in this article are just soldiers. They would be soldiers if there hadn't been a war also. They're just doing what they are supposed to. That excuse doesn't work if your boss is telling you to shove people into gas chambers, but if you're told to go to Iraq and patrol around looking for insurgents, well I think it's a pretty valid reason to not blame the soldier even if you disagree with the war. The far left that indulges itself in such hatred doesn't deserve the freedoms they have. They sure as hell wouldn't be enjoying life so much if it weren't for those soldiers they hate. In a lot of countries they'd be shot or imprisoned or totured for such actions, and it's only because of those soldiers that the place they live in is able to allow such hatred in the name of freedom.

That's another thing... People like Michael Moore who shout censorship every time someone disagrees with them don't understand what real censorship is. Being able to have your voice heard all over the country claiming that Disney is involving itself in censorship because they decided not to buy your movie is not censorship. It's the very opposite.
