Do Neo.cons ever Go out in Public and try to Convince People Iraq was Justified?

Question

or do they just hide behind their computers on Yahoo making up fiction about Iraq? I'd love to see a neocon at the supermarket, gas station, a bar, restaurant, at work spouting off about Iraq like they do on Yahoo.

Colonel - all I ever hear people talking about in public is that we need to get out of Iraq.

Answer 1

As a rule they dont hit the streets, they use the net, the govt owned news channels MSNBC, CNN, ABC (FOX news has one of the main neocons on their board William Kristol). Youll find many in Yahooanswers too........ all avidly posting their right wing BS despite all the proofs and evidence to the contrary.
And then there is the top tier of propaganda....the whitehouse with their lilly livered, yellow bellied chicken hawks, all squarking out their chicken little warnings, what a crock of shiite.

Answer 2

I don't feel I should, your fellow Democratic leaders thought it was justified when they voted for it back in 2003.
So, instead of name calling, like I see on yahoo answers so often, why don't you question your own political party rather than badmouthing the opposing one?

In response to your additional comments, to you ever see anyone FOR anything out in public? The only people in public making a scene are the protesters. If they wanted to build a nuclear power plant in your back yard which do you think you would see and hear in public?
1) People holding signs and blocking streets screaming "yippee, we're getting a nuclear power plant" or...
2)People holding signs who DON'T want the power plant there and screaming of the dangers.
There is your answer of why you hear more against instead of for.

Answer 3

I never see them, that could be due to living in a blue state where thankfully there are few of them around.
I really thought they were more the keyboard warrior type, but that is just my opinion.

Answer 4

well, first its not polite to talk about politics (and religion) in public, you never know who´s toes you might step on... and second...

if you are right about something, you dont´get overly defensive and go about trying to prove you are right...

Do you ever go to the streets to try to convince people that the waves are better on the west coast than the east coast? California has good surf all year round, you know it, and don´t need to go about convincing people and trying to get everybody to agree with you. you know you´re right, so just go enjoy the better waves....

The guilty ones are always overly defensive and the first to step up and question others make a big scene about things.

i´m from the east coast, and although i know the waves are better in Cali than Florida, i´ll still rant about us having warm water all year, and how we don´t need wetsuits, and bla bla, but the fact remains the same.... the waves are better in california, and the Iraq war was not only justified but necessary....

Answer 5

See the link in my profile. Write those politicians and ask them why they voted as they did. Then sit back and watch them try and backpedal. The Clintons, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry...I assure you it will be quite amusing.

Answer 6

It appears that they mostly just do it online. I have never seen anyone in public try to defend the indefensible except for those protesters that protest that the war protesters are protesting the war. Even then I only see that on TV.

Answer 7

I've done it, and we don't "make up fiction" about Iraq, like the anti-war movement does. I refute the accusations that it's just for oil(the celebrations of Saddam Hussein's fall from power prove it), and that the Iraqi people don't want democracy(high voter turnout proves it), and that there were no WMD's(500 found between 2003 and 2006 proves it), and that Saddam had nothing to do with terrorism(his support for the PLO, ANO, PLAF, PKK, MEK, and even Hamas and Al-Qaida prove it) and that the terrorists we kill there aren't innocent and "resisting the occupation"(the majority of victims being Iraqi and the fact that the targets are mosques, shops and government offices prove it).

Answer 8

Nah, using propaganda through media works better.

Answer 9

That would be a hard sell. I can tell you that here in Australia, we look at the War on terror as the War OF Terror, and Bush as the biggest terrorist.
