Maybe I am remembering things incorrectly, but comments against the Bush administration were very common. |

Yeah, everyone supported the war in 2003. Quote: February 15, 2003 Huge crowds of anti-war demonstrators jammed into midtown New York on Saturday as protesters in dozens of U.S. cities joined large crowds worldwide in voicing opposition to war with Iraq. Demonstrators converged near the United Nations to protest the possible war in just one of the more than 600 anti-war rallies around the globe. Organizers estimated the crowd at more than 375,000, but Police Commissioner Ray Kelly estimated turnout at 100,000. Besides protests in large cities such as Chicago, Illinois; and Los Angeles, California; rallies were held across the United States in smaller towns such as Gainesville, Georgia; Macomb, Illinois; and Juneau, Alaska, according to the anti-war group United for Peace and Justice. http://articles.cnn.com/2003-02-15/us/sprj.irq.protests.main_1_anti-war-rallies-anti-war-movement-police-use-pepper-spray?_s=PM:US That said, Bush's approval rating (Gallup) was 90% the week after 9/11 and still 71% at the beginning of the war. Obama peaked at 67%. http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Approval-Center.aspx |

What's your point? in history G.W.Bush will go down as a fucking dangerous idiot yes, but its important to remember that almost a whole country was with him. He was reelected and became a very popular president at the time because of the war, because of the patriot stuff, all those thing made him very, very popular. |

all of the previous caveats included, it was a big deal for people to speak out in the mainstream against w. and iraq at the time. we were in the post 9/11 haze at least through 2005. then katrina happened and kind of woke everyone up. simplifying, i know, but... the mainstream media (read: 90% of media at the time), covered the anti-war protests far far less than they did, say, the tea party, which is dwarfed in numbers by the anti-war movement in 02-03. in pj-speak, all of this is to say that it was quite controversial for eddie to have done this at the time. |

Mass entertainment has been sanitized to the extreme. So few people that reach large audiences actually speak up any more. When was the last time a professional athlete in the States voiced an opinion on politics or social issues and so on? |

In 2004, there were just over 221m Americans of voting age. GWB got just over 62m votes. Perhaps you were trying to say that almost all of Thailand (2004 population 64m) was with him? |
