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).

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

Another missed opportunity for all those in the parade and those supporting the troops to have jumped on and beat the wholly crap out of the commie rat bastards across the street.

Hrrrrrrrrrp! Hooooooooup! Hrrrrrrrrp! Hoooah!

The Kimmer always cheers me up on my drive into work in the afternoons. He's a great guy and he has lots of fans who will stick up for him, so I hope this clown doesn't try to sue him or cause trouble for him at WGST.

(We could use Kim to knock out Phelps and his anti-war crowd. Here is just one of many stories on this sh*thead Phelps.)

VFW motorcycles drown out protestors
October 12, 2005

By Linda Martin
Progress Staff Writer

CHELSEA — God spoke with the roar of revving motorcycle engines during a protest Tuesday by six members of a Kansas church that believes God is punishing the U.S. for protecting homosexuals by killing soldiers overseas.

Chelsea residents, however, believed God spoke on their behalf as the engines of more than 100 Veterans of Foreign Wars motorcycles drowned out the voices of the Westboro Baptist Church members who were allowed to protest from 1-1:30 p.m. before the 2 p.m. funeral services for Staff Sgt. John Glen Doles.

The protesters were escorted by police from the Chelsea Police Station to and from the protest site at the corner of Sixth and Vine streets a half block away. They left immediately after the protest, said Chelsea Police Chief Kenny Kelsey.

Chelsea’s main street was lined with American Flags in honor of Doles, who was killed when he and five others were ambushed by enemy fire last week in Afghanistan. He was laid to rest with honors in a small cemetery southeast of Chelsea.

Town and local law enforcement consisting of Chelsea police, the Rogers County Sheriff’s Department and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol made good their intent that nothing would disrupt funeral services for the local hero and his family.

Chelsea Mayor Kenny Weast said he received a fax last Tuesday saying church members would be in Chelsea to protest at the funeral.

Weast contacted local law enforcement and a successful plan was devised.

Said Weast: “We planned for the worst and hoped for the best.”

Weast’s own feelings about the protest, however resonated those of the town.

“What a tragedy to have a group like this protest the day of the funeral, one of the hardest days this family will have. It makes me sick,” he said.

Kelsey, Chelsea’s chief for six months, said neither set of protesters “were allowed to cross the street and every body stuck to it.”

The American Legion Riders from Southeast Kansas, which represented a number of Kansas towns and communities along with members of other organized motorcycle groups, attended the funeral to protest the protesters.

But the No. 1 reason was to show support for Staff Sgt. Doles and his family and to oppose Fred Phelps, who is the leader of the anti-homosexual group.

The bikers succeeded in keeping the protesters out of sight and sound of the Doles family but for anyone else close enough to see their brightly colored signs spoke loud and clear: “GOD IS YOU OR ENEMY; GOD HATES THE USA; GOD IS AN AMERICAN TERRORIST; TOO LATE TO PRAY; THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS; YOU’RE GOING TO HELL; GOD HAS SPOKEN IT’S NOT A BLESSING IT’S A CURSE and AMERICA IS DOOMED.”

The locals had a couple of signs of their own. Three older women held up a white sheet that said “SHOW AMAZING GRACE” and two young people held a cardboard sign saying “YE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.”

John B. Milam, a Chelsea native, said of his feelings about the protest, “I have no respect for anyone who has no respect for the dead.”

Wilma Fraley said, “I just think the family deserves a quiet, peaceful funeral for their hero. Thank God for the (local) people coming out to do this (show their support).”

At the cemetery, which was void of protesters, Doles’ team leader and 14 other fellow soldiers from Fort Polk in Louisiana who either trained or served with Doles attended the funeral.

Staff Sgt. Adam Oliver, Doles’ team leader, said, Doles “was the hardest worker I’ve ever seen in my life. He was one of those guys that everybody liked and probably the best soldier I’ve ever been in charge of. He was always willing to go the distance and beyond without ever being asked.”

Staff Sgt. Stephen Podymaitis, said “I’m just a better man for having known him.”

Podymaitis said he and his family lived next door to Doles and his family and their two sons practically grew up together.

“He brought happiness to everybody’s life,” Podymaitis said. Still in disbelief that his friend is gone Podymaitis said: “He’s a brother in arms and a brother in heart.”

These anti-mililtary morons needs there a%%es handed to them on a regular basis. I don't think I would've been able to control myself if I saw this idiot treating a member of the service that way.

There were only slight injuries. The Kimmer is a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran

I guess the guy is lucky he picked on an old vet. Still I find the fact that there were only slight injuries somewhat disappointing.
