A friend of mine is a Nam widow. Her husband was shot down over there. She went back to college to get her teacher's degree so she could support their children. As soon as people found out her husband was a Navy pilot and killed over there, they dared to ask her how it felt to sleep with a baby killer. They made her life hell, but they also made her mad. She refused to let them chase her off the campus.

When I hear people whine about anyone not supporting this mess in Iraq, and the bumbling ineptitude of our President, by referring to them as "radicals" or someone who would call veterans "baby killers", it seriously reminds me of those minorities who play the race card.

If I understand this correctly, you are referring to the extremes on both sides who call each other names?
