Quote:But... if you go on any, and I repeat ANY public university campus in the US, you will find the perennial "Protesting Student Organization" marching around with drums and bullhorns demanding that the US government does something different than it is doing. Which is fine, they have the right to peacefully protest the color of canned peas if they so desire. Why do we NEVER see them protesting against the actions of our enemies? Iran is holding an Iranian American woman, Roxana Saberi, on drummed up charges of spying. Where is the liberal outrage? Wait, I guess her alma matter did organize one rally. It seems that in times like this, they quietly remain mute, waiting for the next opportunity when the US does something that they can break out their drum kit to march against.Oh, and linked from the front page of DailyKos: Liberals organizing a vigil (not a protest, which would be nonsensical) for those imprisoned in Iran for two physicians whose crime was apparently treating patients with AIDS. The case of Roxana Saberi is specifically mentioned as a similar case of human rights violation.
Still convinced that liberals NEVER care about these things?
