Kimmer Attacked at the Veteran's Day Parade

Friday, November 11, 2005 5:40 PM

Longtime Atlanta talkshow host on GST 640am Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson was involved in a fight with an anti-military protestor in downtown Atlanta today during the Veteran's Day Parade.

A man holding a sign blaming President George W. Bush for 9/11 had been yelling at the Military Veterans participating in the parade on Peachtree Street. There was no incident until after the event, when The Kimmer came across the protestor and words were exchanged.

The man allegedly walked up to the host's car and tried to spit on him, at which point Peterson got out of the vehicle. The man then head-butted and attacked the host and a scuffle ensued. There were only slight injuries. The Kimmer is a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran.

I heard this guy talking about this this afternoon. Apparently the protester head-butted Peterson when they met and Peterson cleaned up Peachtree Street with him.

Kim Peterson's been on Atlanta radio for at least 10 years that I know of and raises more money for Marine Corps Toys for Tots than any other single personality in the world.

I really do miss listening to the "Kimmer". I loved his show in Atlanta, but moved to Savannah a few years ago. He not only raises a lot of money for the Marine's Toy for Tots program, but he is a very generous and kind man who has helped a lot of folks privately over the years. I wish there were more like him, and hope he is o.k. He is funny, quick-witted, and always talking to the Kimmer "Babes" (which are probably 75 year old secretaries with nothing else to do)and everyone has a blast listening to the conversations. He is a trip to the lights fantastic!

Kim was battling serious prostate cancer last year too. I hope he was strong enough to smash the punk.

Actually, it wasn't during the parade, but after the parade was over and Kimmer was on the way home that the incident took place.

Kim Peterson is a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, and is very much pro-military, and doesn't put up with leftist crap. He stood by and left that left-wing wacko say whatever he wanted during the parade, as was this left winger's right that has so effectively been made possible by our armed forces.

After the parade, on the way home, the POS accosted Kimmer at a traffic signal. Kimmer got out of his car to discuss the POS's anti-American rhetoric, when he was spat upon, and headbutted in the gut. Kimmer, being the person he is, defended country and honor of our military personnell by whipping the POS's saggy butt. A fitting tribute for Veterans Day!

Way to go, Kimmer! You Rock! Thank you for your service to our country. And thank you all veterans for making and keeping our country free!

You will continue to be on my radio every weekday afternoon on wGst in metro Atlanta!

PS: Thanks also to Wayne (no offense).

Kimmer will make this POS a fixture of his show for quite awhile. In exquisite detail. It sucks to be a lefty confronted with reality.

It was reported that the nut was six inches taller than the Kimmer and out-weighed him by 50 pounds. It is also very obvious that he had a tiny brain. You just don't spit on a United States Marine on Veteran's Day after a military parade. Supposedly he was interrupting the parade by shouting obscenties at the men in uniform. Small children were all over the place.

I believe the protest was in Hudson WI. There was a link earlier today on the Star Tribune website that linked video from Channel 5 News. Try http://www.kstp.com About halfway down the page there is a story about the funeral in Hudson. The "members" of the church are some real losers.

From what I heard on a Mpls talk show there was one biker there who did his Harley Ridin' best to drown out the idjits. May the brave soldier rest in peace.

This "protestor" was obviously asking for it. Glad he got it.
