I'm a member of Protest Warrior - San Antonio Chapter, and I have to tell you that this is a group that supports you 100%. They are a group of clear thinking conservatives who wish to challenge liberals on their battleground - the protest. We engage them in a battle of wits as we challenge their line of thinking. The following is from the Protest Warrior's mission;
Quote: | These leftists usually carry the loudest megaphones. And left unchallenged, their voices are heard disproportionately, demoralizing our troops, and emboldening dictators around the world - dictators who dream of the day the "Great Satan" disappears from the face of the earth.
However, their self-righteous messages go silent quickly when the truth of history and reality is thrown back in their face. It's time to turn up the juice on OUR megaphones, as we will never keep our supreme values of liberty and justice without the will to fight for them.

Hope I'm not off topic, but I think this a group that Swift Boat Vets should know is on your side and will be protesting those who protest the Swift Vets, the war, and the truth... _________________ "The Swiftees have three things in abundance: money, brains, and balls.

Great Job protesters! I'm so sick of the Halliburton thing; this is a company full of honest AMERICAN workers who have worked in dangerous zones around the world to protect the world's oil supply.
I hope you'll be in New York next week. |

Oh man, that was beautiful!!
I think a Halliburton Defense Force t-shirt would sell like hotcakes! I know it would incite violent reactions on my campus!! _________________ Everytime he had a choice, Kerry chose to side with communists rather than the United States. |

QUESTION: Is Protest Warrior bought and paid for by Halliburton? Why of all the much more important things there are to protest and to protect have they chosen to protect Halliburton and to protest Halliburton's critics. I am a critic of Halliburton; because they are wasting the taxpayer's money and gouging the military. ANY real patriot should be opposed to this.
One of the things that pissed me off the most in the Navy was how defense contractors overcharged and generally screwed the Navy, and how far too many lifers were complacent and apathetic about the situation - or corrupted by it. If we are going to tell the truth about John Kerry, we have to be willing to accept the truth about everything.
If Protest Warrior is such a "big supporter of the Swift Vets" then why don't they pick up the Swift Vet message with their THOUSANDS of activists and DO SOMETHING with it. The Swift Vet message is the one that will win, not some lame and probably corrupt defense of Halliburton.

Halliburton is hardly corrupt. Being a big company does not make it corrupt. Why dont you go tell all the wives of honest men working for Halliburton, that they are corrupt. Just like with SBVT has done so brilliantly with Kerry, if your going to make accusations, back them up with facts, or you look as foolish as Kerry does. |

Now I am going to go off topic here... PW is not bought by anyone, it is a group of people who love America, love Freedom, and love Capitilism. We are a group that doantes infinitely more time than money. We were at Halliburton because that is where the libs have taken to protesting the war in Iraq, George Bush, Freedom, and Truth. We will fight them wherever they go, and fighting them we stand up for those they are attacking. Halliburton is a huge company that is in the process of rebuilding the infrastructure in Iraq. If they have gouged the govt, they'll be prosecuted(don't give me that BS about Cheney, he gave up much more money to be vice pres than he could ever recoup by being favorable to Hal) but I won't let a bunch of ignorant libs stand out there and shout there lies without acting. Check the website Protest Warrior You might learn something... _________________ "The Swiftees have three things in abundance: money, brains, and balls.

I think the ProtestWarriors are doing a great job; Personally, I'm glad they're on the Swiftvets' side.
However, this post is rather off-topic, so I'll be moving to the Gedunk shortly. _________________ Bye bye, Boston Straggler! |

I like the Idea of protest warrior, I just think its a bit over the top and that they may be going to protests and choosing positions just to annoy liberals, rather than inform them of other opinions. And as for Haliburton, I hate them. They were granted uncontested contracts, despite having business links with Iran and despite the corporate fraud scandal that some how Chaney is immune from? _________________ "I already don't miss it," he said of Washington.

Maybe I am not following you, but from what I see is that this is a group the stages protests. Many other groups protest as well, but they don't go out looking for protesters in order to mock/disrupt/counter them. While protesters that I have seen recently say "no blood for oil" or "stop corporate greed", they seem to have much more offensive/sarcastic/not really factual slogans like "elect kerry so I can kill your Family" (osama)
When I compare the two, I hold one in with a higher respect. If they came out to protest on their own in support of their beleifs, I would think higher of them. Instead, they target 'liberals', and attempt to dissrupt the ralleys, and while thats perfectly with in their rights as citizens, I personally don't think its very curtious _________________ "I already don't miss it," he said of Washington.

Protest Warriors are a group of conservative activists. They are frankly tired of the liberal left ideology being shooved down their throats in school and on the media. Typically, conservatives are.......well,.... conservative and don't do much protesting. Unfortunately this gives an erroneous impression to the rest of the world.....the old saw....."the sqeeky wheel gets greased" has become the norm in America. The shrill screaming of the liberal left gets the most attention and too many people think they are the majority.
The Protest Warriors are trying to educate the public that the liberal left is not the majority......and they do it by using the leftist propaganda against them. For example, here's one of their signs:
"Except for ending slavery, facism, nazism, communism, WAR HAS NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING"
And, whether you want to believe it or not, the so called "peace protestors" are causing more violence at these protest gatherings than the Protest Warriors.
I personally like the idea of the Protest Warriors using the leftist hyprocrisy to bring the truth to the public. _________________ KP

There is a website that is run by a member of this group. He and others
put many hours working for a peaceful protest. They do not scream and
yell the usual nasty comments, and do not want any fights going on.
http://www.lt-smash.us/
This is the website, Citizen Smash is the name of the warrior and he
is away right now so nothing is posted, but you can go back in the
archives to his descriptions of the protests they attend. It is very
interesting and he is usually there, although not at this time.
They are a group of peaceful protesters, and should be supported as
one person said, the conservatives do not make enough noise. _________________ Swiftvets rock! |
