These are all just a FEW of the images of protest I remember these past few years. All Leftist or Mohammedan, and often violent.

The Department of Defense has withdrawn a training manual question that linked protesters across the United States to terrorism, but there's evidence coming to light that describing Americans as terror suspects, or "low-level" terror suspects, is routine.
According to the letter from the Northern California ACLU, the DoD's "Annual Level 1 Antiterrorism (AT) Awareness Training for 2009" tells department personnel "that certain First Amendment-protected activity may amount to 'low-level terrorism.'"
Specifically the training "Knowledge Check 1" asks, "Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism activity?"
The multiple choices are: Attacking the Pentagon, IEDs, Hate crimes against racial groups and Protests.
The correct answer in the training course is "Protests."
Now, according to a Fox News report, the Pentagon has withdrawn the question.
A spokesman told the network the question didn't make it clear what the difference was between violent and illegal actions and peaceful protests, which are protected by the U.S. Constitution.
"They should have made it clearer," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Les Melnyk told Fox. He declined to specify when the line would be crossed from one into the other.
But he said all of the 1,546 people who took the exam and saw the question will be notified of the "error" and told that there is a difference between lawful objections and violent unrest.

Mistake after mistake in publicizing which conservatives are terrorists. Somebody is going to get their wrist slapped on this one.
The 0bama brownshirts were caught off guard in it being released and public knowledge. Doesn’t change the fact the corrupt thugs in office right now are trying to silence dissent and must be stopped.
Christian Reagan conservative, ex U.S. Army. Retired business owner and I went to a tea party.
Yeah I’m a dangerous extremist terror suspect?
Ok pentagon, come and get me.
Ya dumb asses.
I have been to a few tea parties and now I am called a “terrorist”? As I say, your terrorist is my freedom fighter. LOL
Well these “thugs” are sowing the seeds for bigtime trouble ahead is they try to silence dissent.
This report will only ANGER more Americans.
Un believable Biggirl,
So what did ya think of the new Trek movie?
I thought it was great.
It probably doesn’t take much to turn many well-meaning, hard-working law enforcement officers into brownshirts working for the New Socialist Dictatorship. Just a slight tweaking of the rules, is all.
After all, they still want that pension. They still need those medical benefits. The lecture in the morning briefing room doesn’t have to change all that much for the effects out on the street to change dramatically.
Saw the new ST movie, it was GREAT! I thought that it was good to show the young Captain Kirk as a rebel who became a leader.:)=^..^=
Is it any wonder why the rates of sales in both guns and ammo has gone WAY UP! People are sensing there will be TROUBLE down the road.
You had to know this was coming.
No one but a terrorist would protest emperor bammy, president for life of the glorious mohammedan peoples democratic socialist republic of afro-ameristan.
It’s just not done.
Plus a number of armed forces people must have gotten TO after one of the generals got dissed by one Sen.Boxter who demanded she be called “Senator” not “m’am”.
You will see a split down the middle with the police forces bigtime, those for the people and those against.
That’s right. The last line of defense is at our own doorsteps.
Amen to that.
So anyone that thinks the military won’t cooperate with the crackdown should really think about this.
Well....Look what happened to the French Jews who were rounded up by **French** police officers.
So citizens peacefully protesting are now terrorists and evidently have no rights, but someone from, say, Egypt or Pakistan who is a follower of Bin Laden is to be given all the rights of a U.S. citizen.
Gee, that’s funny— I don’t remember the Bush Pentagon labelling Code Pink as terrorists....
hh
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the word protesters is a rabid Leftist. Maybe it's because I grew up in a time when Vietnam war protests and college takeovers and Weather Underground agitators did all the protesting. Then again, over the past several years we've had protest after protest against the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, the Group of Seven, etc, etc. And then of course, we've had the Code Pink, George Soros anti-Bush Iraq war protests. We’ve had left wing Million Man marches, Million Mom marches, Million Gay marches ad nauseum for the past many decades.
Maybe the folks at the Pentagon see it the same way. NOT Dad and Mom and Grandpa protesting the sellout of the country to socialism. I still don't think the OVERWELMINGLY conservative military see the Tea Party protests as bad in any way.
Just saying...
Pretty neat how they brought them all together. Sort of told ya the beginning.
Take care.
During the tea parties I didn’t see any police in riot gear. I saw a lot of cops dressed in normal uniform, enjoying an easy day.
If you think about it that says a lot.
That is true, the cops who do the tea parties know that it is among the best crowds going. Heck, the leadership of the various tea parties makes sure that no one in the crowd even drops a candy bar wrapper. We are very placid indeed.
Have a good and blessed day Joe.

Remember those ‘census’ guys coming around to your house with GPS units?
Just thinkin’.
Well that is it, the tea parties protests are among the best behalved going.
Just wondering, have you ever been to a tea party protest?
This happened the last time a Democrat was the White House. Democrat administrations are always eager and quick to redirect military action from neutralizing or destroying foreign enemies to punishing and silencing domestic political opponents.
correction: the last time a Democrat was IN the White House.
No, I had to work on April 15. I was with them in spirit, though.
Look. I support peaceful protest. Always have, always will. The fact that finally, conservatives are using protest to express their displeasure at the sellout of our country is absolutely justifiable in everyway.
But my point, I think is well made. The Left has used protest to undermine our values for years, and often in a violent way. Just google “Seattle protests 1999” and you’ll see yourself. Look at the photos I posted. Are these people not low-level terrorists? I honestly believe that is what the “Pentagon” (not a building, but rather some very human military officers, almost always conservative) had in mind.
Well the left have become pros at it. We are newbies to it.
Nonsense.
You can also be reasonably confident that the tea parties are attended by anonymous looking, sign-holding, FBI moles planted by the Obama "antiterrorism" brownshirts under Eric Holder's control. That's just the way power-grubbing Democrat administrations do things.
ACORN will likely also be involved in domestic spying to ensure that the Obama-Reid-Pelosi troika maintains a stranglehold on power for as long as possible.
Withdrawn a training manual question that linked protesters across the United States to terrorism,if that doesn’t reek of Obama nothing does or should I say O.B.L.?
Someone wrote this ‘test’ and those same someones give orders. Those same someones decide who to promote and who to discharge.
I hope you’re right but world history proves you are wrong.
When an incremental approach is used people will do almost anything. Sure some will resist and they will be put to the sideline and eventually treated the same way as the target individuals.
When faced with a me or them situation most people will chose their life and their families vs the life of someone their govt is focused on destroying.
I wouldn’t doubt they are already planning the ballot box stuffing for the 2010 elections.
The military will not participate in unlawful acts.
Americans better get angry while it's still legal...
So if anything were to happen were it came to the point either to obey a order from a dictator, or side with the people, our military would most likely side with the people and up hold our constitution.
Cops have homes and neighbors too. I suspect they would feel a lot better having an armed right winger next door to their wife and kids while he’s working than some moonbat who calls him a fascist thug because he has a job to do.
