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:
Somehow, I left the link out of that post! You were awesome to go and look for it!

If those Iraqi kids in the photo knew he was a rear admiral, I bet they would have thought twice about posing with him.
bttt
Hypocracy is grand isn't it. Stay safe. I called a friend of mine who lives in Sunrise. They still had power around 8 p.m. but 3 blocks down from them were out.
LOL..I don't look at balloons. I have my own :)
I can think of a few Marines who would love to greet him
Because they hate themselves and everybody else.
"...LIBERALISM - Being miserable for no good reason...."
Great tagline potential.
Ok, in the picture in this link and the one of her at the airport, has everyone noticed how brand new white her teeth are?
Go here and click on the picture to get a bigger shot of it:

And is her mom better? She comes back to Texas with great looking teeth, but no news on her mom.
I find it really offensive when leftists who usually can not tolerate the sight of a cross, use crosses for political demonstations. Someone needs to get an injunction forbidding the public display of a Christian religious symbol.
Are you?
Hiya tonk!
I believe she had her hair touched up, as well.
I shall not comment on a gay guy with a trumpet...I shall not!!
You're right...lightened...highlighted.
No wonder she was in such a good mood at the airport. Must have used some of those donations for a day at the spa.
"Why are liberals so angry, all of the time?"
Simple. They're angry because they are fu*kin LOSERS!! When's the last time that you saw a really HOT liberal babe? When's the last time that a liberal "female" has seen a really buff liberal guy? In either case, it just ain't happening!
It's really no more complicated than that.
"Does that guy ever change his shirt?"
More likely than not this poser bought a shirt with "Marine Corps" on it at a Illegal Alien run flea market.
Looks to me like this knob would not have survived the first day of bot camp.
