Does anyone have the video of this happening yet?

message of support sent... what a disgrace that a wounded veteran was booed.
This is an unfair and illogical comparison. George W. Bush is the soldier's Commander in Chief. John Kerry doesn't come close to this position of authority or leadership. Kerry is merely running for office to attempt to attain that postion. There's a huge difference between the two. This soldier had every right to carry the sign he did to show his respect to his commander. That said I think this author is a notch above many others. I like his writing style.
That poor brave man. I sent him an email thanking him from myself and hubby (A Marine veteran). What in God's name can people be thinking?
(Strike that...They're NOT thinking.)
the parade announcer wrote a letter to Gilson in which she stated that she didn't mean to offend him.
Maybe I am getting too sensitive but this got my attention. I don't belive she understands what she did wrong. Too much Clinton doublespeak in the world.
Dwyer added: "I believe (Jason's) mom when she said her son was called 'a murderer.' But I'm sure it wasn't so much directed at the kid as it was the president. A soldier with a sign represents that."

who needs video. I live in Washington. I can tell you exactly what happened. Some morons showed us their intelligence by insulting the persons who protect their right to protest. Bush hating is like a trend here in Washington, it sucks living in such a liberal state where I have to put up with endless liberal nonsense. The actions of a few do not represent the whole. Along the line there will always be the classless few but in todays standards it is becoming the many. I apologize for the hippies who are uneducated and misguided. Washingtonians appreciate the selfless dedication of every soldier, god bless you and thank you.
The northern most portion of the lower fortry eight, has always been the gateway to the twilight zone. Not for those heading north to Alaska or west, but for those who stayed in the state of Washington.
The abuse heaped upon this young American warrior, is inexcusable. Having been born and raised there though, he should have been prepared for such a greeting.
Just as many US troops returning from duty in Vietnam were greeted by being spat upon by liberal sonovabitches in Seattle, as in Commie ports in Oregon and California.
Thank's Gilson, for your courage, dedication to duty and the many sacrifices and pains you suffered for your country. You are a Patriot, and this old man salutes you. It was those of your Ilk that created America, made America great, and defended her from enemies without, as well as enemies within-especially from enemies within.
The enemies within our very own country, probably despise you more than the enemies without, but don't let that depress you,that enemy was the most dangerous threat to our fore-father's as well, and the most decietful.
Thank you for posting this article. I just sent an e-mail to Gilson also. This is a horrible way to treat someone who has sacrificed everything for our country. Sometimes, people behave like animals. It really angers me. I will pass this on to everyone that I know!
