Hmmm......

I'm thinking maybe it takes more guts to stay and continue to harangue the politicians into ending the war?

But, then again, it's much tougher to do much fighting from a jail cell. So, you go somewhere safe and continue speaking out from there. I can see that.

Or maybe some folks just figured America had lost it's mind and decided they didn't want to live here anymore? I can see that, too.

Lastly, Maybe there were some that were just pussies who wouldn't fight even if the war was justified? So, having no stomach for a fight on the battlefield, the protest march or the courtroom------they simply ran and hid?

I'm thinking you could probably find examples of "All the above". So, trying to pin "them" down to a common trait, when there were thousands of them, is kind of narrow, don't you think?

"Republican panic at the prospect of facing Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race has suddenly reached Godzilla-nearing-Tokyo proportions. The election is more than two years away, and Clinton hasn’t even decided whether to run. But none of this seems to matter to the GOP strategists and spinmeisters who are launching the whole arsenal at her — smears, innuendo, false charges. Already, they’ve moved beyond distorting her record to simply making stuff up.

As these damp squibs clatter harmlessly to the ground, it’s useful to remember that Clinton has seen it all before. And I mean all . Anyone who thinks she’ll be rattled or intimidated hasn’t been paying attention the past few decades.
If anything, Republicans are succeeding in raising Clinton’s profile and perhaps making her a more sympathetic figure. This was certainly the impact of Karl Rove’s smarmy and unfounded recent speculation about her health. " WaPo

Eugene Robinson at the Post certainly has a way with words.
