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!

[MuttTheHoople]

Why does this sound like a fund-raising letter? I'm sick and tired of seeing "pro-troop" people sitting there and taking it like a bunch of little girls. for once, KICK A DAMN HIPPIE IN THE NUTS!!!!!!

Sorry for the rant, but if the peace pansies are sooo bad and violent, why don't the pro-American folks kick their butts?

[Earthdweller]

If anyone still believes this movement is all about promoting “peace” they are seriously in LaLa Land.

[Calpernia]

I think the State Depart. needs to be scrapped and done over.

[Just A Nobody]

That clearifies which side the cops are on.
Hint: It ain’t yours.

In this particular case, you are correct!
However, I really must defend the police at this point. While there are bad apples in every aspect of life, I will not lump all police officers together.

I've been in the thick of these counter protests in Fayetteville, NC, Silver Spring and Olney, MD, Richmond and Williamsburg, VA and all points around Washington, DC. 99.9999% of the security forces were most definitely on our side.

Now, I cannot attest to their actions in commie enclaves such as San Francisco, Bezerkely, NYC or Boston, but Edinboro, PA is not a commie enclave!

For that reason, I believe penelopesire's post #132 will do a LOT of good!
Send your letters demanding an investigation of the police and charges against the thugs!!

Use the links provided and stir the pot!!!

No one has the right to assault anyone and I hope that they are prosecuted to the fullest. That said, I wonder if the young man would have been assaulted if he had stayed on the opposite side?

[Just A Nobody]

comments like the ones Obama made enables incites these people

Just a slight tweak.

[Just A Nobody]

if we were giong to win this war we must meet them with sign for sign, body for body, and fist for fist.

Good advice!

[Grunthor]

“what mom and dad, with any sense, sends their 14 year old into that crowd with a video camera? Very poor judgement.”

And I bet they were just shocked at what happened!/s

[Just A Nobody]

Bring it on! It is way past time.

[Just A Nobody]

Sorry for the rant...

Please do not ever apologize to me for a rant like this!
Your type of rant and thinking is what we need more of, IMNSHO!!!

Of course your thoughts have been my thoughts for quite some time now!

[Just A Nobody]

If anyone still believes this movement is all about promoting “peace” they are seriously in LaLa Land.

And/or too stupid to vote!

[Just A Nobody]

I think the State Depart. needs to be scrapped and done over.

I second that motion!!!

Thanks for posting this, I was going to this morning if nobody else did. And then I see that Just A Nobody Else did!

Peace Thugs Assault of Iraq War Vet, Family

Written by Melanie Morgan   

Wednesday, 23 April 2008

The blogosphere is beginning to buzz over the story of Jason Swartout, an Iraqi war veteran, alongwith his wife and four children, who stood guard  on a street corner in Pennsylvania with American flags and love in their heart for this country.

They were viciously assaulted by Hillary campaign supporters and other 'peace thugs', stomped, hit and spat upon in front of young children. Their 14-year old son was also injured because he has videographing the demonstration.

This story is going viral now among conservatives, but still has no MSM traction.

Get busy, people.

MaroonedinMarin has more.

UPDATE: Jason and Carrie Swartout have the video of the entire ugly assault. It will be made available shortly. It was in the hands of the District Attorney's office which is investigating whether charges will be filed.

This also addresses the questions about the avaiablity of the video.

[Just A Nobody]

what mom and dad, with any sense, sends their 14 year old into that crowd with a video camera? Very poor judgement.

Crowd??? I've seen no numbers posted as to the size of the "crowd", but considering the population of Edinboro is around 7000 I can't imagine it was all that huge.

I wonder if the young man would have been assaulted if he had stayed on the opposite side?

That's right...follow the demands of the commies and be good little sheeple remaining in the pen your masters allow you to occupy.

We are supposed to be a FREE COUNTRY!!!
In 4 short years that 14 year will be eligible to be sent half way around the world to fight for his FREE COUNTRY!

To insinuate that he had no right to cross the street in Small Town, USA simply because there were a few commie thugs there is appalling and part of the mind set that has brought us to our knees.

[Just A Nobody]

Hay...had I known you were about to do the deed, I would have restrained myself, in spite of the flurry of e-mails I was receiving from EU students. ;*)

Thank you very much for the update.
In case you didn't see his post, Chcknhawk will have the video posted at A Soldiers Perspective later today.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

[Quix]

Slight correction . . .

State Dept needs to be shredded, mixed with cowpies and spread on a young forest needing fertilizer.

[Ulysse]

No sensible people believe the biased liberal multiculturalists MSM repeating that USA is evil and that GWBUSH=BenLADEN...
Don’t stay crying and sitting on the side of the road.
First you have to vote .

Good luck and best wishes from France

[Quix]

Thanks for your kind words, Dear Sister in Christ.

Amazingly, no derisiveness yet.

Though I hope the silence is not evidence of walking on by the graveyard whistling vainly.

[Grunthor]

“That’s right...follow the demands of the commies and be good little sheeple remaining in the pen your masters allow you to occupy.”

If my family was black and I refused to send my teenage son into a crowd of sheet wearing assh@oles, would I be sheeple then too? Or would I just be prudent? The people doing the assaulting were wrong as hell, and I support their incarceration but you DO NOT send your child into a situation like this. Would you support a family sending their prebuscent son into the middle of a NAMBLA meeting? If they refused to, are they sheeple or somehow cowardly?
