Scott Sady/RGJ Pro- and anti-war demonstrators take part in a heated exchange Saturday in front of the federal building in downtown Reno.

Dozens of vocal pro-military demonstrators from one rally Saturday marched across downtown Reno to heckle a group of anti-war protesters gathered elsewhere.

"Pro-Peace" = Pro-Saddam.

God Bless America, our soldiers and our President.

Attend a Pro-America ralley TODAY.

I was there! I was the short, angry guy in the checkered yellow shirt yelling in the faces of the traitors. They came thinking that we couldn't out-a$$hole them, and they were wrong. Eight years of hearing sissy-boy Bill Maher making fun of Republicans' lack of sexual prowess has a way of making ordinary conservatives into right-wing extremists. :) Incidentally, I notice how they pick out one ex-Marine in the traitor group. I know which one he was, but he was the only one who could possibly have been a vet. Every last one of the others was in black, with studs in their jackets (which I guess is some sick sexual fetish) and piercings in weird places. I walked with some others to get right behind the traitors and fly the flag over their heads. I noticed that they grimaced every time we chanted "U.S.A."

I hear today where the activists are sniveling to the police about their lack of intervention. I'm sorry, I thought the whole event was peaceful, loud perhaps but peaceful and certainly no cause for the police to intervene. Funny how the commies call for the cops when they need them. Wonder what they say in private about the cops when they don't...

Were you the guy in desert cammies?

Nope, I was wearing an A-2 Bomber jacket and toting my 3 year old son. I also had a USS Constellation hat on, courtesy of my bro who did a Navy tour years ago...
