Last weekend the liberal radio host was inconvenienced in Washington DC while the pro-military bikers roared by during their annual ride to support US troops.
Power Line Forum discussed this latest Keillor Bush-bash today.
TampaBay.com reported:
If anyone cared about the war dead, they could go read David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War or Stephen Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers: The U.S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany, June 7, 1944 to May 7, 1945 or any of a hundred other books, and they would get a vision of what it was like to face death for your country, but the bikers riding in formation are more interested in being seen than in learning anything. They are grown men playing soldier, making a great hullaballoo without exposing themselves to danger, other than getting drunk and falling off a bike.The Rolling Thunder bikers stopped to see President Bush while they were in the nation's capital:
No wonder the Current Occupant welcomed them with open arms at the White House, put on a black leather vest, and gave a manly speech about how he'd just "choppered in" and saw the horde "cranking up their machines" and he thanked them for being so patriotic. They are his kind of guys, full of bluster, giving off noxious fumes, and when they leave town, nobody misses them.
This year there were 350,000 of the patriotic riders who rode to DC for their annual rally.
Mr Keillor is a vicous bigot with prejudices that dwarf your typical klansman.
ReplyDeleteGarrison is the poster boy for the dems.....a jackass....gelded.
ReplyDeleteIt was an awesome sight and all in all, no matter how fierce they looked or how many bikers crowded the roads, they were orderly and respectful and I felt no qualms bringing my son to see them on their way.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I traveled the roads, we saw many families and groups of children, crowding the overpasses and waving them on their way.
So do we assume that Keillor thinks that the people who run Rolling Thunder are just liars? The "about us" section on the Rolling Thunder website clearly says, within the first paragraph, that almost 60% of their membership is made of of US military veterans. I guess I'll drop him a little note and see if he knows what google is. Another turd with a microphone. Him and Al Franken should play in traffic. I had never even heard of Keillor until the GP post. Gee, I wonder why....
ReplyDelete"Our membership is comprised of men and women with 40-45% being non-veterans with the balance being veterans from all wars and peace-time."

So I just looked up who Garrison Keillor is. NOW I recall seeing that boob before. I didn't know he had a radio show. He should stick to reading childrens classics and his little prairie show. I have to apologize up front and say that I do enjoy that broadcast from time to time but had no idea he was a politically charged hack with a talk show.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who's seen Garrison can tell he was hit in the face with the 'ugly shovel' at some point in his life. It's similar to being hit with the ugly stick, but the ugly shovel leaves you with a dished-in face like Garrison sports.
ReplyDeleteHe's paid to whine, so I never listen to his groaning and sobbing. But if I saw someone running away with a shovel I'd try to stop them.
And give 'em $2 for shovel upkeep.
Garrison Keillor has always been, at best, nothing more than a poor man's Paul Harvey and now he's gone Hollywood, doing EXTREMELY boring movies for the one-trick-pony director, Christopher Guest. He's totally forgettable.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone the least bit suprised that this patently boring libtard's grasp on reality is tenuous at best?
ReplyDeleteKeillor has been whining for years...
Keillor in his 2006 commentary Embracing the Subtle Upside of Terror was whining about the The Military Commissions Act of 2006 giving one the impression that this law was to be used or could be used against American citizens: "But now the federal government is extending the frontiers of terror with the Military Commissions Act of 2006, legalizing torture and suspending habeas corpus and constructing a loose web of law by which you and I could be hung by our ankles in a meat locker for as long as somebody deems necessary"...
Just a bit to much hyperbole there but the lack of facts by Keillor apparently doesn't bother his fellow travelers....
Then Keillor making sure that everyone knows what an immature libtard he is, he goes on and jokes about the death doctors in London and Glasgow as if the bombs not going off is typical of the terrorists...
What a complete moron!
Mr. Keillor needs to lighten up! I thought things were so laid back in Lake Wobegone!? God bless! Padre Steve
ReplyDeleteWow, it's nice to know that the left has removed Stephen Ambrose from the blacklist and we can read him again.
ReplyDeleteDavid Halberstam did evil with his life, and I think that a terrific way to counter any citation of his work is to point out what he did, how unfair both his news reporting and his wartime book, "The Best and the Brightest" were, and the miserable results his negative influence produced for Vietnam.

Whoever these guys are, they're doing what we ALL ought to do--respect and honor those who gave their lives to protect US. My uncle, who served in WWII, was recently buried at Jefferson Barracks. While we were there, Rolling Thunder rode past our motorcade, escorting the funeral procession of an officer who was killed in the war on terror. It was a most impressive sight, which brought tears to my eyes. These guys are patriots, despite that many of them sure look like Willie Nelson.
