This is the updated story from Melanie's website.

I think she was still tweaking the article when I posted it her.

"Peace Activist" Slaps Female Blogger Twice--Encourage Others to Violence"

Written by Melanie Morgan

Many times I have been threatened with violence, as well as our staff at Move America Forward.

We simply shrug off the danger, and continue with our work to support our troops.

'Skye' at MidnightBlue.com wasn't so lucky yesterday in Philadelphia, Pa.

She was slapped TWICE by so-called 'peace activists'.

Spree at Digital Journal has the complete story, and yes, the brazenness of the 'peace' crowd grows even more shocking in Chicago.

Melanie,

I am saddened to report this:

Saturday around 12:10 PM, a member of the Chester County Peace Movement (CCPM) slapped a woman twice ( that would be me) who was videotaping an exchange between the two opposing groups. Police were called and an officer arrived at 12:15 PM and announced to the crowd that he was conducting an investigation.

The CCPM member was pointed out to police and the officer told the man to come forward and the man refused. The guy was totally uncooperative, belligerent and would not go with the officer. When he shoved the officer, the officer's partner took him to the ground to be handcuffed. The guy continued to resist while on the ground and the peace movement folks surrounded the officers, some as close as a foot or so away.

Photos at the bottom of http://picasaweb.google.com/rgc1946/WestChesterMarch222008 show this quite clearly.

I've prided myself in my professional conduct at this rally and to be struck twice by a 'peace' protester who has been present since the time I began covering this rally is truly disturbing.

Sincerely,
Skye

Move America Forward is going to press forward with a demand to the United States Marshall Service, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Justice Department to start ARRESTING AND PROSECUTING THESE PEOPLE!

The lefftist POS in the beret leaning over is a member of VVAW and was running a video camera during the "hearings"
He approached me about 0730 Friday morning while I was sitting in my pick up waiting for the Eagles to show up, and asked if I wanted to do an interview.
We had already established ground rules about interviews, which were, if you wanted to talk to a reporter, have someone else with you taping the the same interview.
I declined and told him to come back 0800.

He was baiting and leading one of the young soldiers inside trying to get him to say things that weren't true or correct.
In fairness to the young soldier, he never took the bait.
You can see that video on the USVets Dispatch site.
Sorry I don't have a link right now.
