I know this seems like a small thing, but I think it is indicative of the culture in which we live. This is how much of America conceives of activists who work for accountability on torture – we are the left wing equivalent of tea baggers.
From today’s New York Times:
“If it seems a little ironic that slender urban saplings are dressing like Paul Bunyan and the Marlboro Man, well, so what? In these increasingly polarized times, when one half of America thinks President Obama is the second coming of Adolf Hitler and the other half won’t be truly satisfied until we prosecute everyone from Dubya on down to Laura Bush for war crimes, it’s actually kind of nice to see bearded blue-state hipsters dressing like men who slaughter cattle and clear-cut forests for a living.”
