Veterans For Peace, the rabid hate-America group who's impeachment tour Cindy Sheehan glommed on to, has decided to try to milk the Katrina disaster for their own nefarious ends.

First they claim they are "supporting the Rd Cross with power and medical supplies. (Sure they are.)

Then the VFP list what they need to continue their propaganda campaign. And mind you, nothing but the best will do. ($3K for a monitor?):

You see, the Red Cross doesn't have computers or multi-media equipment of their own. No way.

I wonder if the Red Cross knows that these parasites at Veterans For [a] Peace [of the action] are using their name and bogus support to leech more money, fancy equipment and services for their America-hating ends?

How low can you go?

I remember some bad things about Red Cross right after 911 but cannot remember the specifics - just enough to know I would never again contribute to RC

[<1/1,000,000th%]

They appropriated some enormous percentage of donations to lease new office space, buy office furniture and get cars for their employees. I remember something like 40% of the donations but I'm not sure.

Plus they were caught letting terrorists use their ambulances for transport.
