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.

The PD horses sure must have been happy that day as they made deposits Everywhere! The only thing we wanted to do with the horse manure was burn it for heat.

The commies will be wondering what they did wrong for The Post to publish the truth about them after all these years of fawning coverage. I'm wondering too, LOL!

Excellent work, Kristinn! Nicely written and good work getting it in.

I wonder how many people (especially moonbats and journalists) realize that Korean, Vietnam, Grenada and Cold War veterans were fighting Communists who were doing evil around the world? They have first hand knowledge of what Communism is all about. Remarkable restraint, indeed!

My wife and I were two of those that stood up for America on St. Patrick's Day. To hell with the Neocoms (aka new communist) controlling the dialogue. It's our time now, we will determine the National dialogue. I'm with you and so are tens of thousand more Kristinn. Whats next?
