A New Low for the Anti-War Movement

The protesters in Portland, Oregon, last weekend didn’t only burn a US soldier in effigy. According to an editorial in today’s Portland Tribune, one of them also defecated on a burning US flag.

This splinter group of protesters showed its support for “peace” by burning a U.S. soldier in effigy. It exhibited its supposedly pacifist nature by knocking a police officer off his bike — an action that brought out the police riot squad.

Perhaps the most disturbing scene of the afternoon, however, involved the man who pulled down his pants in front of women and children and defecated on a burning U.S. flag. This disgusting act actually elicited cheers from some members of the crowd, but we hope that the emotion it produces in the community is one of revulsion.
