Vietnam redux..
AAR on the Hanoi Jane anti-war rally, by Kristinn Taylor - head of DC's FReeRepublic Chapter, and media spokesman. If he sounds angry - he is. He refers to Joshua Sparling - the name may be familiar to many. He is the soldier from Walter Reed who received that nasty Christmas card from that crazy loon a year ago. After a year of pain and surgery, his lower right leg was amputated in November.

Even the New York Times saw fit to mention this incident.

I wouldn't be opposed to legislation that made the act of "spitting on a GI" a hate crime. They make the use of the N-word a hate crime, why not this?

Memories of tha late sixties and early seventies.
If someone spits on you its "assault", they may not necassarily be arrested, but you can give him a "fat lip" in self defense.
Its hard to spit again with a fat lip and a couple loose teeth.

Just a heads up so that all won't be agonizing too much over the way this thing is going to go. It's not a lot of comfort I know but at least we can know the ending. And that final ending is not how the Muslims picture it to be.

1. This conflict was set in motion when Adam and Eve partook of the 'forbidden' fruit.

2. We are not going to win this one. We can already see the seeds of our demise being sown.

3. Only by Divine Intervention will Israel's ultimate distruction be averted.

Not a prophet, just walking around with my eyes open by faith.

Anti-war protesters spray paint Capitol building
By Jackie Kucinich
Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.

According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse andDeputy Chief Daniel Nichols. "They were the commanders on the scene," one source said, who requested anonymity. "It was disgusting."

After police ceded the stairs, located on the lower west front of the Capitol, the building was locked down, the source added.

A second source who witnessed the incident said that the police had the crowd stopped at Third Street, but were told to bring the police line in front of the Capitol.

Approximately 300 protesters were allowed to take the steps and began to spray paint "anarchist symbols" and phrase such as "Our capitol building" and "you can’t stop us" around the area, the source said.

Morse responded to these claims in an e-mail Sunday afternoon explaining that the protesters were seeking confrontation with the police.

"While there were minor instances of spray painting of pavement by a splinter group of Anarchists who were seeking a confrontation with the police, their attempts to breach into secure areas and rush the doors of the Capitol were thwarted," Morse said. "The graffiti was easily removed by the dedicated [Architect of the Capitol] staff, some of whom responded on their day off to quickly clean the area."

He added, "It is the USCP's duty and responsibility to protect the Capitol complex, staff and public while allowing the public to exercise their First Amendment rights … at the end of the day, both occurred without injury to protestors or officers."

Yet, the sources who talked to The Hill were furious that protesters were not stopped before reaching the Capitol.

"To get that close to the Capitol building, that is ridiculous," the second source said. "[Police] were told not to arrest anyone."

The second source added that police had to stand by and watch as protesters posed in front of their graffiti.

Tens of thousands of people rallied on the Mall and the Capitol complex Saturday in protest of the increased troop deployments and the war in Iraq.

These protestors should have NEVER reached the steps of the Capitol building. So much for the IDIOTS at Homeland Security!

Antiwar protestors have to be the most immoral and despicable people on the face of the earth. They hate and act it out more than anyone else I know. Probably because they think they are so far above us lowly people who love God and Country.

Wow, those anti-war protestors certainly are vicious as they attack the FReeper/Iraq Vet group. The protestors numbered in the thousands, yet they got pretty riled up by that small band of about 40 FReepers/Vets

FReepers's video, Part one of 2 parts ( part 2 being processed) is up on utube

And they were especially very mean to Joshua Sparling - awful name calling. There's another Iraq Vet there with a bullhorn, giving the protesters a good run...good thing there was a fence separating these groups .....the other confrontation must come later ( have to wait to see what part 2 shows)
