My e-mail box is over-flowing with alarming news from Pa. where the Gathering of Eagles witnessed a 14-year old boy attacked by Peace Thugs.
This news is so disturbing and so typical, that a website has now been established to document this intensifying level of violence against patriotic Americans. Peace Thugs Exposed!
Dan Maloney, my friend and GOE NY Coordinator writes about this outrage.

Iraq War Veteran and Family Assaulted!
April 22, 2008
Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.
Edinboro, PA, Apr. 22
For the second time in as many weeks, an Iraq War Veteran and his family held a Support the Troops rally across the street from the weekly “peace” protest in this college town. This week the true nature of the ‘peace’ activists was revealed for all to see. When the veteran’s 14 year old son crossed the street to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy. The right to record video in any public venue is long established in law and any attempt to interfere with that right is a violation of civil rights.
Seeing the escalating tension across the street, the veteran and his wife crossed over, leaving their three youngest children on the other side for safety while they went to retrieve their eldest son. Two of the female ‘peace’ protesters then attacked the veteran’s wife. When the veteran pulled one of those attackers off his wife he was jumped by four or five of the ‘peace’ people and knocked to the ground where they held him while beating him and smashing his eyeglasses.
The son pulled the remaining attacker off his mother, but the attacker managed to get in one last kick to his mother’s head with her boot. She then punched the son in his face while his mother called the police.
This all took place at a busy intersection, the mother had been knocked into the street in bumper to bumper traffic. People were visible in the windows of shops and a bar nearby. One might think someone would intervene to put a stop to the assault. One would be wrong. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese tragedy in New York, the bystanders and passers-by refused to stand up to the ‘peace’ thugs. Displaying a craven cowardice one would not have expected in middle America they would rather go on their way thankful that it was not them being assaulted. It was NOT them, today, but what about tomorrow?
When the police arrived they reviewed the video of the incident and then, astonishingly, refused to make any arrests, even when one of the ‘peace’ thugs spit in the face of the 14 year old boy right in front of the police and they did nothing! Officers, that is an assault! I don’t know where or how they train police in Edinboro but they obviously need some refresher courses!
One of the police was very aggressive toward the veteran and his family as if they were the attackers!
I think it is long past time for the people in this country to wake up to the violence of the ‘peace’ movement. I think it is long past time for them to realize that not standing up to the excesses of violence will only beget more violence.
Last Fourth of July, in New Jersey, one of these ‘peace’ people walked up to a young veteran of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan and shot him in the heart just because he was in the military. Last month another person or persons unknown detonated an improvised explosive device at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square. Today a veteran and his family were assaulted in plain daylight on a public street in view of dozens of people and not one lifted a hand to help. This is not the America I grew up in. This is the Amerika the ‘peace’ crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.

It is past time for the American people to wake up to what is going on in this country and actively defend our Troops and country!
I know things will change for the worse, but I am hoping perhaps a few years (or will it take decades?) down the road that when enough people have been victimized or lose their rights that we will see some common sense, and a return to a period of sensibility. Unless it is already too late.
So where are Bill O’Reilly, Rush, and others bringing this outrage to the public’s attention?
That clearifies which side the cops are on.
Hint: It ain’t yours.
What an atrocity. It seems to me that comments like the ones Obama made enables these people. Pennsylvanians are nothing but gun-totin’, bible-believing ignoramaces who aren’t sophisticated, nuanced-seeing signficant people like me and those who want to see me president. Do with these people what you want. Show them what they are. Let’s build a NEW Amerika.
People need to get out and plan to take part in Memorial Day events. Hopefully nothing violent will happen, but shouldn’t be surprised if it does if incidents like this escalate.
Last year, I was confronted by a woman at a parade. Dude was marching in it and she made a belligerent comment to me about the military. LOL she had no idea how big of a flag waver she was standing next to. When I had a strong choice of words for her, she didn’t know what hit her because I said with a smile.
Years ago the Head of the Jews for the Possession of Firearms Ownership said that if we were giong to win this war we must meet them with sign for sign, body for body, and fist for fist.
I’ll get back to you on that shortly.
Good for you! That is what needs to be done...CONFRONT them where ever you find them! Don’t just take their garbage and deposit it in the nearest dumpster.
Most of the time, those of us who were victims never talked about it. Besides, who would care.
I remember walking through Atlanta Hartsfield airport in my class A’s and a stew from Delta stopped me and asked if I would “hold this” she then proceeded to take the gum out of her mouth and deposit same in my hand. She and her companion thought it outrageously funny. Too bad for her a senior Delta captain was standing nearby and saw the incident. He was retired Air Force and walked up to the stew, got her name and reported her behavior to a Delta manager. It was the only time in the military that I didn’t fly military standby from Atlanta to Detroit. It was also the LAST time I ever took a Delta flight. It’s been almost 40 years since that incident happened and I haven’t set foot on a Delta flight since.
There were a lot of things like this done to troops in transit. Ask anyone at Fort Knox what the prevailing attitude of the Louisville residents were to the troops or those who were stationed at Benning about how much “love” was showered on them by the towns people of Columbus, GA.
Most of the time the only ones who “cared” about the GI’s were the local blood banks (you could pick up an extra 7 bucks a pint) or the used car lots that sold crap cars at inflated prices.
Most of the guys I knew that travelled changed out of their class A’s as soon as they cleard post. Unfortunately the “sidewalls” almost always gave them away.
Don’t think that because there isn’t an internet study, that these things didn’t happen. Ask ANY veteran of that era, I’m sure they all have a story or two about how the public treated them.
Sounds like legal help is needed. Swear out a complaint and the police cannot legally ignore it.
Perhaps. WHAT is the RIGHT language?
Put two rolls of nickels in your pockets, one for each fist. When the police show up, break the rolls open and throw the packaging away. A roll of quarters in a neckerchief makes a handy weapon.
Several people have provided you links to the story that you never heard about. I haven't seen your response to any of them. Are you still checking out the links to see if they adequately support the story to restore your confidence in the above article?
Good advice!
I heard one of the talking heads say there will be war if Obama/Beast does not get the WH.
From where I sit...yes. VERY interesting article with this little gem contained within:
It was clear that the nation turned a blind eye to the historical definition of jihad, the one that would really come to matter.''
Couple that with this thread...
New State Department lexicon forbids use of the words "jihad" or "jihadist"
...and we have a REAL problem!
Thanks much!
Some of them mention these atrocities, but by ad large they are a mere blip on a massive trail. Far too much attention is spent on regurgitating the "mainstream" Enemedia talking points.
Our side need to FRAME the debate, NOT work within the framework set for us by the commies!
I understand that, however, sometimes you have to be a FREEP of one.
It's happened to me before and I'm sure that it will happen again.
Even when only two facing a mob, one to videotape and one to bring pain.
This is not meant to remove any scorn or responsibility from the turd “peace” folks who committed an assault.
But...what mom and dad, with any sense, sends their 14 year old into that crowd with a video camera? Very poor judgement.
