(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) Like clockwork, conservatives are burning Nike products they purchased with their own hard earned money in order to protest what they view as disrespect toward their fragile symbols of American patriotism.

Being on the deadly end of his policies, many Arabs view John McCain in a very different way than the U.S. mass media has presented him.
