Points on the Antiwar Protest (WaPo Publishes Freeper Gathering of Eagles Letter to Editor)
The Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, March 27, 2007 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 03/26/2007 10:32:35 PM PDT by kristinn

Three March 23 letters about the recent march on the Pentagon protest and counter-protest raised points that need to be addressed.

Regarding the letter from Matt Mendelsohn of Arlington: The Gathering of Eagles did not hire security to protect the monuments. We hired security to protect our rally and equipment. The Park Service, with the voluntary aid of thousands of veterans, protected the monuments.

Regarding the letter from Mark Burton of Damascus: Mr. Burton quoted Mahatma Gandhi, yet Gandhi would not have marched, as Mr. Burton did, with a group such as the Answer Coalition, which reveres the communist mass murderer Che Guevera and has unconditionally endorsed the terrorists in Iraq.

Regarding the letter from Victoria Saker Woeste of West Lafayette, Ind.: The racism and ageism expressed makes me doubt her accusation. She provided no evidence that horse manure was flung at protesters by counter-protesters. However, The Post has posted a video report that shows a peace protester spitting on a Gathering of Eagles participant.

Given that the Answer Coalition, the organizer of the antiwar protest, has endorsed the killing of American soldiers by the so-called Iraqi resistance, holds rallies to support terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and supports the communist North Korean government, the restraint shown by the 30,000 veterans and other patriotic Americans who by my estimate took part at the Gathering of Eagles was remarkable.

Too bad that flame didn't flare up and burn his ass and a few other things located under those pants.

This happened to me once. The Greensboro Paper corrected me when I said that a local pastor was the former head of the local Communist Party. They said they couldn't print it because it was wrong. They countered that he was the former head of the Communist WORKERS Party. Ohhhhh..I see. I asked them if they ever corrected letters sent by liberals and provided some examples of blatant errors. I'm still waiting for a response after 15 years.

What I find remarkable is that a news organizaiton, with tremendous investigating resources, demands from a someone writing a letter, to provide them with information they should already have.

Hit that nail squarely on the head! Maybe the WaPo is afraid that ANSWER, with "the best civil rights attorneys", will sue them for printing the truth; this way the WaPo can pass the blame to Kristinn???

Great job as always, Kristinn!

Because the WP has published just a few anti-dem party editorials, and a letter to the editor occasionally, people like Chris Matthews now call it a neo-con paper. LOL!!!!

Group cites Malveaux's passion, energy

GREENSBORO -- After five years of leadership from a president with the stature of Johnnetta Cole, some wondered if Bennett College could do it again.

If the college community's response to Julianne Malveaux is an indication, it did.

Malveaux -- an economist, author and cable television commentator -- was greeted with cheers and ovations when she entered a crowded Pfeiffer Chapel on Monday to be announced as the college's 15th president.

Great job!

Just address those issues one at a time, that way they won't get too confused.

Wow -- I'm surprised the Post asked you to provide "proof" before publishing a letter to the editor? I've never heard of such a thing! With all the smears and distortions that appear in letters to the editor, I'm betting they don't hold others to that standard.

Malveaux was the "journalist" who wished Clarence Thomas's wife would feed him lots of fatty foods so he'd die young of a heart attack.
