Cindy’s Soldier-Hanging Friends

Remember Stephen and Virginia Pearcy? That lovable couple who hung a US soldier in effigy on the front of their abode in Berkeley?

This is actually the Pearcys' second or even third effigy. The first featured the soldier hanging from a noose with the words "Your Tax Dollars At Work." It was quickly torn down by fellow citizens. The Pearcy's then erected this one, without the noose. And, yes, that is the flag of the "Iraqi resistance."

Cindy Sheehan attended a rally in Sacremento, to support the Pearcys. She praised them for their courage. They are now returning the favor:

Cindy Sheehan Support Rally Saturday (16th & Broadway 6:30PM)

From Stephen Pearcy

Hello everyone!

I'm sure you've heard by now that Cindy Sheehan has George Bush on the run. According to yesterday's Washington Post, "Sheehan's protest has created a delicate situation for the White House, which has resisted being drawn into a public battle with a woman who lost a son in Iraq."

While the national spotlight is on Bush is the ideal time to apply pressure! Many people I know are already on the way to Crawford. Many others want to go but either can't afford the trip or can't take time off from work, etc.

For those who want to support Ms. Sheehan, but can't go, there's an alternative. Today and this weekend, support rallies will occur in many cities across the nation.

Several people have suggested that it would be great to have a rally at 16th and Broadway tomorrow (Saturday) night from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Virginia and I want to encourage as many people as possible to gather friends and come out to 16th and Broadway with banners and signs that read, "GEORGE MEET WITH CINDY!," etc.

Admittedly, this is short notice; but if you can make it, it will be great!

Best regards,

Stephen & Virginia Pearcy

Sacramento For Democracy

It's weird. Just like the communist front, Democracy Now! --Sacramento For Democracy doesn't want democracy for Iraq either. Democracy for me, but not for thee.

"Imagine what would happen to people like this during WW2 if they hung a US soldier in effigy and flew a Nazi flag."

We don't have to imagine. Some people did that. They were thrown in jail--for the duration or longer.

"Imagine what would happen to people like this during WW2 if they hung a US soldier in effigy and flew a Nazi flag."

My guess is there wouldn't be enough house to cook a weiner on.

This Cindy looks and sounds very dumb!

Someone did that here in my hometown a few years ago. They had a landscape company dump a whole load of top soil in their antagonist's driveway.

What would George Washington do with such a lovely couple?

...hung a US soldier in effigy on the front of their abode in Berkeley?

It wasn't Berkeley, it was Sacramento, in the Land Park neighborhood.

I went to Catholic school and the nuns always said:

Show me your friends and I'll tell you what you are.

During WWI and WWII, the nation had too much respect for the President and the Military to even think about pulling a stunt like Pearcy and Sheehan, the nation back then would not stand for this type of behavior, they would be shamed out of the country, how sad that people these days do not have any respect for anyone or anything.

[Stonewall Jackson]

I'm not sure what Washington would have done, but if I could impose a sentence upon them, then their citizenship would be revolked, they would be escorted to the nearest border, and informed that if they are ever caught within the territorial limits of the United States they will be sentenced to at least twenty years in federal prison.

"It wasn't Berkeley, it was Sacramento, in the Land Park neighborhood."

Thanks. You're right, of course. They live in Berkeley and rented house in Sacramento.

Typical leftist scum.

Bet the Pearcys were the first to crap their pants when that guy cranked off a shot the other day... The terrorist in Iraq would take special pleasure in torturing these people and making them humiliate themselves before putting them out of their misery. The only thing that really stops them are strong men and strong leaders... they will surely "die many times before their deaths"

In another window of that house the Pearcys display the Palestinian flag:

well..im reading books on Washinton and i'm sure what he'd do is have them taken behind the woodshed..for a true spanking! Let's just say we've grown soft as a people.

The weather's good, it's time for the uninformed fools for the left to get out and bring back the '60s in the Return of the Dawn of the Dead.

Arson happens.

"truckload of manure"

I like the way you think. Surely there's a crop in need of fertilizing close by.

The revelations about the Pearcys, just gets more disgusting with every article.
