There are some odd associations going on here with the radconista posters. They must have seen some propaganda on the CIA and Sirhan-Sirhan on the History Channel. It revealed that Sirhan-Sirhan was practicing Rosicrucian style meditation. Hence, their references to liberal naval gazing, Sirhan-Sirhan, and terrorist-loving liberals. The official publication on terrorists published by the FBI states that liberals encourage terrorists. So, featuring Bill Ayers in a liberal e-zine invited some real honest to goodness fear mongering replete with anti-meditation monikers like Lotus Feet.
What amazes me is that with the drastic measures taken against anti-war protesters and dissenters by intelligence agents that the radcon populace still finds something to complain about. But it's not actually complaining--it's more like an attempt to intimidate wrapped up in hysteria. And let's not forget the entertainment value. Those radcon posters and friends were getting a heck of a head rush out of those irrational arguments.
