Sept. 12,2007 | tgslTakoma

Posted on 09/12/2007 2:02:34 AM PDT by trooprally

tgslTakoma was up late putting Vietnam Memorial Wall (DC) Defaced Sept 7-8, 2007: PART 2 on youtube and asked that this be posted.

Part 3 will show the vandalism to the Nurses Statue and the Brothers Statue.

tgslTakoma also noticed on East Wall Panel 15E that it had multiple deep, long, vertical scratches/gouges. That will also be in Part 3

Has this information been sent to Fox, Rush, Laura, Hannity, Liddy, etc.?
If not, it should be... immediately.

I am convinced that the so-called citizens of this country just no longer give a damn.

I think the majorty do care,its just that the media refuses to cover these kind of story's and alot of what the antiwar left does gets buried on purpose

Much conflicting info coming out.

Is it possible to post high-res pics of the damage, esp the statue damage?

Also, how about pics of the clean up crew? Grounds keepers, or specialized chem cleanup types?

Some local Freepers must be close by with camera equipment.

The Silence of Guilt (The Defacing of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall)
Focal Point USA ^ | September 11, 2007 | Rich Carroll

Posted on 09/11/2007 11:07:57 PM EDT by Paige

Sometime during the evening hours of September 8th, 2007, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. was defaced with a petroleum based acid liquid.

The liberal media barely mentioned this outrageous vandalism. Most avoided the news completely. Not one Senator or Congressman has stood-up and demanded better security for the memory of these 58,249 killed during the Democrat war in Vietnam. Could it be guilt over their deaths, or guilt that a left-wing Democrat group organized this despicable act at yet another time in history when Democrats consider United States Military personnel little more than “Nazi storm troopers”? (quote Dick Durbin, Illinois)...

petroleum based acid liquid.

re the MSM covering/not covering this - it would be a double-edged sword if they did. The publicity would bring out the 2-digit-IQ America-hating copycats to desecrate military memorials across the country....

Your punchline is a great Reagan quote.

What if this despicable, cowardly act turns out to have been nothing more than a cleaning accident by a National Park Service employee?
We'll just have to ZOT him (or her). Meow...

Gouges too?

**sigh**

What is wrong with these people? Don’t they have enough walls in their own home to desecrate? Have they not enough money to buy a coloring book for their scribblings?

PIGS.

A cleaning accident with a petroleum-based acid liquid? How did the cleaning crew ‘accidentally’ make long vertical scratches/gouges in the statues? Were they cleaning with a dremel?

Welcome to Free Republic, by the way.

I recommend that we start calling the schmucks in DC and demand that they get this investigated and the scum caught:

1-202-225-3121 (DC switchboard)

If anyone has an 800 number, please post it.

You’re kidding? They weren’t happy just to deface the Vietnam wall?

Has anyone herad if there’s any truth to the rumor that the Code Pinko’s were behind this?
