9/11 Families Reject Adam Kokesh as a Serious Candidate for Congress
Gathering of Eagles ^

Posted on 03/04/2010 6:37:12 PM PST by mnehring

» Adam Kokesh ‘runs’ for Congress; is an antiwar activist seeking to return Ben Lujan to the House?

Is Kokesh a grass roots fiscal conservative or an antiwar activist masquerading as a conservative-libertarian to deceive the people of New Mexico? Before voters there decide, perhaps they should review his multiple arrests — including for smuggling home a firearm — in addition to his anti-war protests while in uniform, anti-military recruitment actions, and travel to an allied nation to encourage U.S. soldiers stationed there to go AWOL.

I was at the Capital on September 15, 2007 when ANSWER, Code Poink, SDS, several thousand avowed communists and Adam Kokesh pitched their anti-war hissy fit. I was there as a member of the Gathering of Eagles, assigned to stand with and protect a group of Gold Star moms who were protesting the use of their fallen sons’ images and names by Adam’s comrades.

You would assume that Gold Star moms would need no protection, that they could expect nothing but respect from any American, right? Wrong. I watched and listened to those vile creatures as they marched past, shouting and cursing at these ladies. They spat, and jeered. They yelled “your son got what he deserved”.

We were several hundred American patriots, surrounded by thousands of anti-American leftists. I argued with punks that were mad that I called them commies, they told me I had no right to call them that – even though they carried Soviet flags.

Adam Kokesh was not just one of them, he was one of their leaders. He marched with anarchists, communists and troop-haters.

Now he’s a conservative Republican tea-partier? Oh hell no, I am not stupid. Said Fletcher to the Union Senator, “There’s another old saying Senator … don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.”

Kokesh is a narcissistic, opportunistic parasite. He will take sides with whoever, whatever makes him feel good at the moment. That he has the backing of the Ron Paul cult is fitting, peas in pods.

The reminder of the Gathering of Eagles report about how Kokesh and his crew treated Gold Star Mothers burns me up. I have no patience for this Code Pinko scum. From the article

It is one thing to disagree on the war, we can fight about that- but attacking Gold Star Mothers is way, way, way over the line.

The increasingly traitorous Ron Paul has endorsed this scumbag.

It makes me sick thinking about it. Cindy Sheehan jumped into the political arena with both feet--and with both hands slinging mud at President Bush. She made herself a legitimate subject of politics.

Those Gold Star parents were forced off the sidelines because of Cindy Sheehan did. Most just wanted to have their loved ones treated with respect and dignity in death. The left, including Adam Kokesh, wouldn't honor that simple request.

Another loony libertarian. Glenn Beck is headed that way too. Some libertarian ideas are great but it’s an idiotic philosophy when presented as a whole concept.

Ayn Rand was a lunatic in her personal life

Many of us on FR have wondered for some time
why PaulBots with their anti war, Truther, disrupter posts
are allowed.
Might as well welcome DU posters.

I know, I have a paulbot friend who emailed me earlier, he was sick of seeing them supporting Kokesh. At least some can see through it.

Lew Rockwell the big deal libertarian with the big website shacked up with her. Many libertarians have little to do with conservatism. Lots of libertarians are just liberals who want a tax cut and not be hassled for smoking pot

Beck, another PaulBot water carrier
His mantra is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.
So Palin is the same as Pelosi. Who knew.

IOW, Ron Paul's choice for a running mate.

Several thousand Marines leave San Diego tomorrow returning
to Afghanistan.

These are the True Americans the PaulBots will never be.

More Paulscum trying to infiltrate the party and destroy our attempt to get conservatives into government offices.
