Hundreds Turn Out to Support U.S. Troops in - yes - Berkeley, California!!!

Mark this day down folks. It was Wednesday, October 17, 2007 that hundreds of pro-troop supporters turned out for a giant pro-troop rally in Berkeley, CA (one of the most anti-military & anti-war cities in this nation). Not only did the size of the rally shock the San Francisco Bay Area news media, it surprised the anti-war activists at Code Pink who were outnumbered on their own turf!.

Move America Forward and other pro-troop organizations and leaders put on a pro-troop rally to counter the harassment of the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center by Code Pink in Berkeley.

For 3 weeks the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center has faced protests (including vandalism and defacing of their building) and taunts against the Marines that they were “traitors” and “liars” and “murderers” and guilty of “assassination.”

We’ll be posting more and more updates, photographs and after-action reports so keep checking back to www.MoveAmericaForward.org over the next 2 days!

Never mind that these champions of peace are some of the most foul-mouthed, aggressive, bellicose hate-mongers on earth, or that they're so hypocritical they don't see the irony in being prepared to beat the crap out of anyone who disagrees with their peace agenda.

Not hard to see you have spent time in the Belly of the Beast.

I watched the cops (when they finally removed the pinkies from the permitted area of MAF) move some of the terrorist supporting commies across the street.

One of them dropped a knife, which an officer quickly stepped on and confiscated.

They are about as peaceful as al-Qaida. They would like to kill us all for peace.

I was trying out one of Dr. Zoo's devices in that picture.

It was set on "Scan Cranium For Brain And/Or Posttive Patriotic Activity"

Came up empty.

When switched to "Scan For Negative Anti-Troop And/Or Negative Anti-American Activity" it registered One Hundred Billion Trillion Mega-Zitz before disintegrating on the spot...
