America hater Ramsey Clark and Cindy Sheehan were expected to speak to the group ragtag bunch who don't seem to have much of a grasp on the situation in Iraq...

MEANWHILE...
American war heroes held their own protest in support of the troops!
The AP reported:
...Nearly 1,000 counter-protesters gathered near the Washington Monument, frequently erupting in chants of "U-S-A" and waving American flags.Michelle Malkin is liveblogging with the Gathering of Eagles protesters.
They planned to line both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue to confront anti-war protesters as they marched by and follow them to the Capitol.
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, speaking from a stage to crowds clad in camouflage, American flag bandanas and Harley Davidson jackets, said he wanted to send three messages.
"Congress, quit playing games with our troops. Terrorists, we will find you and kill you," he said. "And to our troops, we're here for you, and we support you."
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., made a surprise visit to the counter-protest, which was organized by the group Gathering of Eagles. The group was created this year by veterans who wanted to challenge war protesters.
"We're a people of faith, courage and fidelity," said Hunter, a 2008 presidential candidate. "It's for this generation that we will win this war on terror."
Victory Caucus is following the dueling protests today.

UPDATE: Cindy Sheehan called for mass resistance on college campuses and government buildings:
Cindy Sheehan said that protesting was no longer enough, saying that those against the war should shut down college campuses and federal buildings in order to get their opinions heard.Powerline has more on the Gathering of Eagles protest today.
Former U.S. Attorney Ramsey Clark echoed the sentiments of some of the signs and t-shirts being displayed at the rally by calling for the impeachment of both the president and the vice president.
Former Presidential candidate Ralph Nader blasted congress for not cutting off the war funding, calling them "spineless" and "gutless."

The one sign that had me ROFLMAO stated, "When Clinton Lied No One Died"...
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I wonder if that silly S.O.B. could explain some of these these dead people
After all didn't Clinton claim to be obsessed with getting bin Laden?
Fisking these anti-war types is just to damn easy...
Can any of these anti-Americans explain how the phrase "free iraq from imperialist occupation" translates to...we support the troops? Didn't think so......sheesh.
ReplyDeleteThe GOE event rocked and we had excellent speakers from Gold Star Mom and Dads to Duncan Hunter and we the distinct pleasure of pissing off the fat assed pink code skanks................it was fun!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan any proAmericans explain how forcing Iraq to sell 2/3 of its oil to foreign companies supports either American Troops or Peace?
ReplyDeleteCan any proAmericans explain how the death of 100,000 to 500,000 Iraqis provides a basis for supporting Americans onsite?
Can anonymous @ 11:22 a.m. find something credible to back up his/her bizzare rantings?
ReplyDeleteWho else are the Iraqis going to sell the oil to? Themselves?
What did you do? Study economics at the feet of Paul Krugman?
john 2-cents raves with impunity.
ReplyDeleteIf he read anything other than the FOX-"news" network (RWM), he would know:
1. US governement attempts to force IRAQ oil to be sold at a discount to American firms is a fact.
2. The most conservative reporting indicates at least 100,000 Iraqis have been killed. Realistic metrics at the actual number killed outright, or due to rotten infrastructure (water, meds, etc) raise that figure to between 200,000 and 400,000.
However, it is likely that any facts which contradict John's view, will be seen as fabrications of the LWM.
