Well, isn't that peachy? *sigh* I'm all for peaceful demonstration and political activism and all, but all these posters are going to do is inflame vitriol on both sides. When everyone is so caught up in blaming the other side for war crimes there is never going to be reasonable discussion and there's never going to be a peaceful resolution.

Also, wtf is with Seattle? I had the impression that it was a bastion of liberal Obama-worshippers. Or, so I was told by Keli Carender when she came to my campus a couple weeks ago, and talked about how she felt "threatened" for being a conservative in Seattle. Has it changed that much?

Eh, I think it's pretty well mixed. It depends on where you're at, but King County and Pierce County tend to be more liberal than other counties (which tend to be more conservative). But it's definitely mixed.

And I've been a liberal living in a very conservative area (the 13 months I lived in Utah), and I'm a moderate now (instead of liberal), living in a predominately liberal area. I have never felt "threatened" anywhere I've went. I have a very strong feeling about not talking politics or religion with people, because it's so polarizing.
