‘Protester’ Shows Up at Vet Rally With Confederate Flag, Democrat Fundraisers Spring Into Action
JWF ^ | Oct 14, 2013 | Jammie

Posted on 10/14/2013 6:34:58 AM PDT by Qbert

Nobody expects fair coverage from the media when it comes to peaceful protests against Obama. But this just seems a bit coordinated.

About 200 people, counting among their ranks Republican Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ted Cruz and former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, converged on D.C.’s World War II memorial Sunday morning. Slightly overselling themselves as the ”Million Vet March on the Memorials,” they cut through barriers to protest the site’s closing during the shutdown.

“This is the people’s memorial,” Cruz said in a speech. “Let me ask a simple question. Why is the federal government spending money to erect barricades to keep veterans out of this memorial?”

Clearly they didn’t have a million people, but it was way more than 200. You ever notice the leftist media doesn’t count heads at pro-Democrat rallies? Funny, that. But stop the presses, someone popped up with a Confederate flag. Oh my! Of course no media inquired as to who this person was. We suspect this was all staged, and lo and behold, the DCCC fundraiser email showed up by 8 pm Sunday night. Imagine that:

Did you see this?

At today’s rally led by Senator Ted Cruz, Tea Party activists marched to the White House with Confederate flags. It’s simply appalling.

Sign our petition immediately demanding Ted Cruz and Tea Party Congressmen denounce these heinous acts >>

This wasn’t just an isolated incident.

One speaker from a Tea Party outside group told the crowd to “demand that this president leave town [...] put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come out with his hands up.”

Ted Cruz and his Tea Party House Republican followers need to denounce this behavior immediately. Make them.

Thanks,

DCCC Rapid Response

Those links take you to DCCC fundraising pages. Stunner.

Update: They’re back for more this morning. Now it’s Confederate flags, plural. And Ted Cruz must denounce these, um, Tea Partiers?

At a rally led by Senator Ted Cruz, Tea Party activists marched to the White House with Confederate flags. It’s simply appalling.

We’re trying to reach 100,000 strong demanding Ted Cruz and his Tea Party House Republican followers denounce this radical behavior immediately.

Forward this email to three friends right now and ask them to demand Ted Cruz and denounce disgusting Tea Party attacks on President Obama.

We’ve seen one photo of the Confederate flag. By the end of the days it’ll be hundreds of them.

The Confederate Flag equates to the KKK? You buy into this crap?

The Confederate flag wasn't the one that got Obama's storm troopers exercised.

The libs/rats want us to not think and merely connect the dots in the way they want us to.

First, we're to assume whoever showed up with a potentially offensive flag/sign/banner whatever is a real member of our side. Absolutely no proof of this.

Second, we're to assume that this person or persons is somehow representative of everyone in the group/movement. This in spite of a complete lack of evidence of such. In fact all evidence points to the exact opposite.

Third, we're supposed to assume there is some "leadership" of this grass-roots movement that is somehow not only supportive of this, but responsible for this.

Fourth, we're now supposed to connect the dots as the 'rats want and blame said leadership. This is supposed to somehow taint the entire movement.

Fifth, we're supposed to assume that the only connotation of a Confederate flag is negative. Outside of a few indoctrinated liberals and professional victim class racists this is not the case.

Are those Democrat Klansmen, by chance?

A better breed of man than the primordial slime like that occupies the offices of State now, like Reid.

I wondered if the flag was planted by the Dems.

"You buy into this crap?"

I'm just stating what the paranoid, Marxist left will be bleeting away today. They love to roll everything together (Hitler, Joseph McCarthy, Confederate flag, etc.) in their usual propaganda attacks.

Their BS only works on the historically ignorant and simple minded. So why does it work on you?

Will Bozo and Shrillary Denounce themselves for Benghazi?

Eric the Holder for Fast n Furious?

Bwaney Fwank Denounce himself for Sub-Prime crash?

Pelousy for a nose job that makes her look like the Child-Catcher?

No, fraid not - only the GOP has be “made” to do this.

It doesn't work on me. I'm just the messenger!

On Fox 4 DFW the only footage of the entire day they showed were patriots refusing to let go of the fence in front of the White House and police trying to force them to move. There was no footage of the hundreds of patriots marching peacefully down toward the White House or peacefully strolling around the monuments. Tell me again that Texas is a red state because I don’t see that represented in the local media.
