...not 1969. I remember the 60's all too well. The good old days...not so much.
I've had my fill of the news stories...all one sided. The Boy just called me in to watch an MTV "report" (sheesh). Those being interviewed....Iraq Vets against the war. They briefly showed the FreeRepublic's counter protest...but no interview with anyone from that side...like...say.... Joshua Sparling.
.. Josh Sparling, who received a card while he was a patient at WRAMC basically saying "hope you die". Josh Sparling, who was spit on by one of the peace loving commie protesters.
(For whatever reason, I still cant link to anything...but I can copy and paste, and the links seem to work, go figure.)
More on Joshua Sparling at Michelle Malkin:

To me, a great many of these "activistst" are just some perenially unhappy people trying to either recapture their youth...or experience something that happened before they were born. Either way I find it sad and disheartening. I see it as giving aid and comfort to an enemy that... should the enemy win...will have these code pink people (Barbarella included)...in black...or at best blue, burkas.
Tom the Redhunter has a report and links from Saturday's D.C. protest.

Follow his links to some "interesting" photos and video..especially Age of Hooper found at...

This was supposed to be a "grass roots" protest. The Redhunter did some research. What he found was interesting...a list of some of of the groups involved in the anti war movement. Grass roots, indeed.
"So did they succeed in putting that "milder face" on the anti-war movement? I went to their website and downloaded their
national member list. Here are a few of the groups
CODEPINK: Women for Peace
Communist Party USA
Democratic Socialists of America
Greenpeace
RainbowPUSH Coalition (Jesse Jackson)
Young Communist League (YCL)"
The best comment I've heard all day...and I'm so od'd on news stories that I can't remember who or where I heard it...might have been Hugh Hewitt...."they don't know history didn't begin with Viet Nam". 'Nuff said.
By the way...spellcheck not working either...just so you know :-)
