While news cameras were filming the event, Marine Jeff Key physically grabbed a cameraman from San Francisco local affiliate KGO. Key objected to the cameraman’s shooting position, which was on the same site where the protesters have erected crosses listing the names of fallen soldiers in Iraq. Here's a photo from right before the altercation took place:
I asked Mark Matthews of KGO about the alleged assault, “I’m not happy about it. We’re happy to abide by the rules when we know what the rules are. But there was no message communicated to us to stay out of the crosses. And last night, photographers, supporters of Cindy Sheehan, people praying, clapping and singing were here amongst the crosses. 13 hours later, it’s off limits without any notification to us.”
I asked one of Sheehan’s spokeswoman if she condoned Key’s assault of the cameraman. She would not answer my question directly, instead saying, “I think if we all do our fair share, we’ll work to keep everybody out of the way … That’s all we need is to have people stay out of the crosses … I think that’s all being worked out privately. I think the cameraman and the Iraq veteran was doing his best to honor the fallen will work it out.”
Here's a pic of the spokeswoman who refused to answser my question:
Any palm readers out there?
What's the story on this Key guy bodyguard marine anyway?
She's from California. Vacaville (Moo!)
Give her time, we'll finally get rid of Boxer but unfortunately replace her with Cindy "I'm dumber than Patty Murray" Sheehan
They are feelin' the heat.
Ever notice Libs always, always, ALWAYS have their mouths open?
Scott Ritter as well.
For me, a cross is REAL when the person displaying it recognizes and respects what it represents, the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What bothers ME about this display of crosses, other than the fact that most are displayed without the permission of the loved ones who's names are on them, is the fact that so many of those folks down in Crawford have complete and utter comtempt for what the cross represents. Therefore, their use of it just is not real, and these are "phony" crosses, props used in an attempt to make themselves more sympathetic to the many, many folks in America who honor what it truly represents.

Shouldn't you be in a ditch in Crawford?
Actually, she looks like a real kook.
My 13 year old was at the computer when that commercial came on. He said "Shouldn't she be madder at the terrorist who really killed her son?"
He's right.
*Sigh* He's a porn faggot. He makes homosexual porn movies (yes, for real).
I thought yall were jokin. barf.
I have great faith in the newest generations. They are seeing how much hypocrisy is being supported by some 'adults.' Give your son a hi five from me!
He's quite the tough fellow.
I think I'd like to meet this guy.
Not in a good way.
Because they know we can squish them... and we will.
Why am I not shocked that this twit would glom on to the ditch witch?
The POS doesn't want pics of the prop crosses because the names will be revealed. Several families have already requested that their loved ones name NOT be used as a sick prop to fuel this freak show. But we're not supposed to know that.
...bookmarking...
I try to avoid Texas altogether. . .
The only good things that have ever come from Texas are:
1) Shiner Bock
2) Willie Nelson
You're assuming a whole lot. . .what if the handle just means that I'm left-handed???
