CJ at A Soldiers Perspective has also posted about this atrocity. His post includes a response from the Edinboro Borough Manager to a letter sent by Retired Colonel Harry Riley, one of the founders of Eagles Up.

Unions send they hit boys and men.

There are ways to hold the democrat candidates responsible for this sick behavior of antiwar protestors against our veterans. There are ways to show that the hatred and irrationality of these protestors is directly influenced by the rhetoric and actions of liberal politicians.

All it takes is the right language and enough people saying it.

It is time to fight back.
Self defense is legal.
Use that.

If someone attacks me they are going to end up with some lumps. I may end up with more but they will definitely end up with some that show.

I would have someone with a video camera in a remote location and have them tape the entire episode so that if the police arrested me, I would have the tape to take to court.

That clearifies which side the cops are on.

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.

Sounds like legal help is needed. Swear out a complaint and the police cannot legally ignore it.

I heard one of the talking heads say there will be war if Obama/Beast does not get the WH.

[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?

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

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

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?

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.

If the military would only take their oath seriously "to protect the U.S. and its citizens from ALL enemies both foreign and dometic" then perhaps these attacks on our military would STOP.

Refer to recently: Berkeley, CA

Now, this attack on a child of an Iraq Veteran.

Time to put these so-called "peace activists" in their place... at minimum ... arrest, book, and charge them with a crime.

I would advise highly against that......
