While the U.S. Park Service is permitting pro-illegal immigration rallies at closed memorials, a permit submitted by Vietnam Veterans to honor fallen soldiers was denied. The vets proceeded with their peaceful rally and gathered at the Memorial Plaza in NYC on Monday for the 12th anniversary of the “invasion and occupation of Afghanistan”. They honored the fallen by reading their names. At least four vets were arrested for trespassing.

Right on.

Obama is the one who should be arrested for tresspassing !

It wasn’t bad enough to come home to filthy hippies spitting on them, now they are arrested for trying to visit their memorial. Some of Obama’s ideological mentors were those filthy hippies who spat upon returning warriors.

The administration's actions in permitting illegal aliens to own the mall while arresting veterans for being on adjoining real estate is so tone deaf, so appallingly heartless, so repugnant to decency that it is nearly impossible to credit.

But the colossal blunder of denying funeral benefits to the families of fallen soldiers is incomprehensible.

One can only assume a measure of incompetence in this administration that is frightening and also difficult to credit until one reflects on the incompetence manifest in the handling of Syria. Equally likely as incompetence as an explanation for this bizarre behavior is arrogance. Arrogance born of ideological certainly that is common currency among leftists the results of which can be read a hundred million times in The Black Book of Communism.

There was something about Vietnam vets being arrested yesterday, but it was found to be a hoax. Are we sure this one is real this time?

[DustyMoment]

It’s time for Americans to throw down and begin a concerted campaign of civil disobedience.

They can’t jail us all and the courts are overcrowded as it is. If civil disobedience expands, eventually the administration will have to cave or face a country of patriotic, angry voters!!

[Kirkwood]

This has nothing to do with obama. I wish people would stop twisting the truth.

[AlmaKing]

None of the vets fought back?

Do they think some court process is going to give them a victory of some kind? Do we think that?

Being arrested by a kid 30 years younger than you and stuffed in a van handcuffed doesn’t sound like productive disobedience.

[mylife]

Smells like Occupy the Military jackasses to me.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Perhaps, but if they’re real veterans they’re entitled to their own opinions concerning the war in Afghanistan, right? Even if you and I don’t agree with them. And should they be arrested for going to a memorial?

[mylife]

It don’t smell right.

[2ndDivisionVet]

And they had the nerve to criticize President Bush’s handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Do you suppose the stupidest person in the Bush cabinet would’ve let any of this happen?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t write for Jim Hoft, so I have no idea.

[pnz1]

This appears to be the same story.. It’s Vietnam Veterans for Peace in NYC..

[nathanbedford]

If Boehner had an ounce of common sense or even a millimeter of public relations sense, he and the Republican caucus would be at Andrews Air Force Base to meet the next flag draped coffins to act as honor guards.

Is Barry gay? I don’t think 100% homosexual, but he probably is ac/dc and swings both ways. I think he’s more of the dc persuasion than of the ac.

[Jack Hammer]

The Chief Exec gets off on swaggering over those worth ten times what he is.

High-sign of the insecure homosexual.

[Talisker]

He’s trying to provoke an “incident”.

Yep. And it's so heavy-handed, it seems that Hillary has been put in charge of the op.

[fella]

No free pass for Vietnam Veterans. Some vets are more equal than others.
