The ugly face of peace anti-war style

imageTelling tales on moonbats drives the anti-war crowd into a frenzy as Move America Forward (MAF) found out this afternoon at Washington D.C.’s National Press Club.

MAF was releasing its investigative report on the nationwide plague of attacks against military recruiting centers (The Sedition Report) when members of CodePink, International ANSWER and Global Exchange went hog-wild.  Heckling, screaming and spitting obscenities, they charged that MAF’s claims of improper actions by anti-war radicals were all lies, that the anti-military activists had been nothing but peaceful.

There was nothing peaceful when security had to whisk Congressman Joe Carter, who was speaking, out of the room for his own personal safety.  Congressman Carter, co-sponsor of the Semper Fi Act, had been on the speaker’s roster with Debbie Lee, mother of the 1st Navy Seal killed in Iraq.

Midway through the presentation, anti-war activists rushed to shut down both speakers, and when MAF asked for security to remove them, the activists refused to go, resulting in a forced eviction--despite all efforts to physically resist being removed.

One of the anti-war radicals who stood up, his face a mask of hatred, (see photo top of story) stripped off his clothes, revealing a military style pink jacket complete with epaulets.  Although his fingers displayed the symbolic peace sign, his screams were blood curdling.

Why are the most violent protesters these day almost always described as ‘pacifists’? From what I got from the article, this guy was all but frothing at the mouth and biting his shield.

They are truly angry looking people and not very peaceful. Most are scary. I agree with you.

Islamists murder people who call them violent. Peace activists attack to protest violence. Both groups seem to be cut from the same cloth.

Just as some Dem activists are predicting, this is going to be the bloodiest presidential election year since 1968.

I saw that, some group calling itself "recreate68"...wonder why they're not in jail given that they are already guilty of conspiring to commit a crime.
