With nerves heightened because of Hillary, Mrs. Buttonwood lost her cool and yelled, "BARACK! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!

Anyone know anything about this group that Obama spoke to, "Coalition of United Puerto Rican Veterans"? I've never heard of them before and can't find anything on the web. My instincts tell me they might be something along the lines of John Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, or Veterans For Peace. Also, usually an org with "coalition" in the name turns out to be radical left. They may be in with the Marxist movement within Puerto Rico. But I could be wrong of course, although it doesn't happen very often. (har har)

Clinton's sympathy for Marxist terrorists

Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the "oppressed people of Puerto Rico," the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico.
