There's more in the Salt Lake Tribune. I especially liked the full quotations:

-snip-

The mayor's message drew a howl of outrage from Mike Parkin, senior vice commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Atomic Post 4355 in Salt Lake City.

"Excuse my French, but - that son of a bitch!" he said. "It makes the mayor look very, very unpatriotic. It makes him look despicable."

Parkin said such demonstrations, particularly against the Iraq war, give comfort to America's enemies and will be particularly offensive to the 13,000 to 14,000 veterans gathering at the convention.

"I voted for the son of a bitch and I'll never vote for him again," said the Vietnam War veteran.

He wants the anti-this, anti-that, and anti-others. I wonder if those vets can come up with one of those anti-weapons for all those anti-Americans.

Can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet this guy won't be re-elected.
