Shocking Attack by 'Peace Thugs' in Pennsylvania!

My e-mail box is over-flowing with alarming news from Pa. where the Gathering of Eagles witnessed a 14-year old boy attacked by Peace Thugs.

This news is so disturbing and so typical, that a website has now been established to document this intensifying level of violence against patriotic Americans. Peace Thugs Exposed!

Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.

Edinboro, PA, Apr. 22
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 to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy. The right to record video in any public venue is long established in law and any attempt to interfere with that right is a violation of civil rights.

Seeing the escalating tension across the street, the veteran and his wife crossed over, leaving their three youngest children on the other side for safety while they went to retrieve their eldest son. Two of the female ‘peace’ protesters then attacked the veteran’s wife. When the veteran pulled one of those attackers off his wife he was jumped by four or five of the ‘peace’ people and knocked to the ground where they held him while beating him and smashing his eyeglasses.

The son pulled the remaining attacker off his mother, but the attacker managed to get in one last kick to his mother’s head with her boot. She then punched the son in his face while his mother called the police.

This all took place at a busy intersection, the mother had been knocked into the street in bumper to bumper traffic. People were visible in the windows of shops and a bar nearby. One might think someone would intervene to put a stop to the assault. One would be wrong. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese tragedy in New York, the bystanders and passers-by refused to stand up to the ‘peace’ thugs. Displaying a craven cowardice one would not have expected in middle America they would rather go on their way thankful that it was not them being assaulted. It was NOT them, today, but what about tomorrow?

When the police arrived they reviewed the video of the incident and then, astonishingly, refused to make any arrests, even when one of the ‘peace’ thugs spit in the face of the 14 year old boy right in front of the police and they did nothing! Officers, that is an assault! I don’t know where or how they train police in Edinboro but they obviously need some refresher courses!

One of the police was very aggressive toward the veteran and his family as if they were the attackers!

I think it is long past time for the people in this country to wake up to the violence of the ‘peace’ movement. I think it is long past time for them to realize that not standing up to the excesses of violence will only beget more violence.

Last Fourth of July, in New Jersey, one of these ‘peace’ people walked up to a young veteran of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan and shot him in the heart just because he was in the military. Last month another person or persons unknown detonated an improvised explosive device at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square. Today a veteran and his family were assaulted in plain daylight on a public street in view of dozens of people and not one lifted a hand to help. This is not the America I grew up in. This is the Amerika the ‘peace’ crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.

It is past time for the American people to wake up to what is going on in this country and actively defend our Troops and country!

Remember:

Fascsism is rooted in liberal socialism. That was true in Germany in 1938, and it is true today.

The liberal democrat left is startig to turn into its fascist version in order to project social power they cannot accomplish through the polls.

That is how the fascists came to power in Germany.

And soon the Dem fascists will try the same here, to take over government , when they cannot win an election. Its already started, they have de-legitimized a sitting president for 8 years.

On the street, liberal left wing democrat ideology justifies or excuses physically attacking their political opponents.

*************************

These are the liberal fascists that we now realize are totalitarians, bent on action, "Change and Hope" and hove no hesitation in rammingtheir values down the throats of an undesrving nation.

Libreral fascists you say? Yes!

And here is the thinking on it from Danial Pipes:

********************************

Liberal fascism sounds like an oxymoron – or a term for conservatives to insult liberals. Actually, it was coined by a socialist writer, none other than the respected and influential left-winger H.G. Wells, who in 1931 called on fellow progressives to become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis." Really.

His words, indeed, fit a much larger pattern of fusing socialism with fascism: Mussolini was a leading socialist figure who, during World War I, turned away from internationalism in favor of Italian nationalism and called the blend Fascism. Likewise, Hitler headed the National Socialist German Workers Party.

These facts jar because they contradict the political spectrum that has shaped our worldview since the late 1930s, which places communism at the far left, followed by socialism, liberalism in the center, conservatism, and then fascism on the far right. But this spectrum, Jonah Goldberg points out in his brilliant, profound, and original new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning (Doubleday), reflects Stalin's use of fascist as an epithet to discredit anyone he wished – Trotsky, Churchill, Russian peasants – and distorts reality. Already in 1946, George Orwell noted that fascism had degenerated to signify "something not desirable."

To understand fascism in its full expression requires putting aside Stalin's misrepresentation of the term and also look beyond the Holocaust, and instead return to the period Goldberg terms the "fascist moment," roughly 1910-35. A statist ideology, fascism uses politics as the tool to transform society from atomized individuals into an organic whole. It does so by exalting the state over the individual, expert knowledge over democracy, enforced consensus over debate, and socialism over capitalism. It is totalitarian in Mussolini's original meaning of the term, of "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." Fascism's message boils down to "Enough talk, more action!" Its lasting appeal is getting things done.

In contrast, conservatism calls for limited government, individualism, democratic debate, and capitalism. Its appeal is liberty and leaving citizens alone.

Goldberg's triumph is establishing the kinship between communism, fascism, and liberalism. All derive from the same tradition that goes back to the Jacobins of the French Revolution. His revised political spectrum would focus on the role of the state and go from libertarianism to conservatism to fascism in its many guises – American, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Cuban, and so on.

As this listing suggests, fascism is flexible; different iterations differ in specifics but they share "emotional or instinctual impulses." Mussolini tweaked the socialist agenda to emphasize the state; Lenin made workers the vanguard party; Hitler added race. If the German version was militaristic, the American one (which Goldberg calls liberal fascism) is nearly pacifist. Goldberg quotes historian Richard Pipes on this point: "Bolshevism and Fascism were heresies of socialism." He proves this confluence in two ways.

Woodrow Wilson's Progressivism featured a "militaristic, fanatically nationalist, imperialist, racist" program, enabled by the exigencies of World War I.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fascist New Deal" built on and extended Wilson's government.

Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society established the modern welfare state, "the ultimate fruition" (so far) of this statist tradition.

The youthful New Left revolutionaries of the 1960s brought about "an Americanized updating" of the European Old Right.

Hillary Clinton hopes "to insert the state deep into family life," an essential step of the totalitarian project.

To sum up a near-century of history, if the American political system traditionally encouraged the pursuit of happiness, "more and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered."

Second, Goldberg dissects American liberal programs – racial, economic, environmental, even the "cult of the organic" – and shows their affinities to those of Mussolini and Hitler.

If this summary sounds mind-numbingly implausible, read Liberal Fascism in full for its colorful quotes and convincing documentation. The author, hitherto known as a smart, sharp-elbowed polemicist, has proven himself a major political thinker.

Beyond offering a radically different way to understand modern politics, in which fascist is no more a slander than socialist, Goldberg's extraordinary book provides conservatives with the tools to reply to their liberal tormentors and eventually go on the offensive. If liberals can eternally raise the specter of Joseph McCarthy, conservatives can counter with that of Benito Mussolini.

This is from the GOE site in which I am also a member of, and it will give you more incite to what is going on as of this past weekend. Dan Maloney has been good about keeping everyone updated with the TRUTH, not just rumors.

Updated May 3, 2008 - Anger Management Classes for Moonbats and an admission they were wrong!

In the continuing debacle in Erie County and Edinboro, Pennsylvania, another key piece of evidence has surfaced. Portion of the video from the ‘peace’ thugs point of view and it lends full support to my analysis of the events.

The video is here.

You can compare it to the original video here.

The new video is shot from a different perspective and reveals actions that were blocked in the original video.

You may have to pause and rewind portions of this video to see the actions I will describe.

Most importantly, for those who have claimed the veteran’s wife took the first physical action. Your claims are proved to be unfounded. The video clearly shows the woman in green advancing from screen right left and touching the veteran’s wife before the wife pushes her away.

It shows that every physical action was initiated by the ‘peace’ thugs Every action that escalated the conflict was theirs. They were out of control and unrestrained in their actions. Every action taken by the veteran and his family was in self defense or in seeking to stop the violence. No one sober can view these videos in any other fashion.

The wheelchair man bumping his chair into the leg of the veteran.
The lady in white grabbing the veteran’s sign and throwing it into the street.
The lady in white then standing on the sign in an attempt to prevent the veteran from recovering it.
The veteran’s wife interjecting herself between the veteran and the lady in white to defuse the situation.
The lady in green charging over with her red sign and pushing the veteran’s wife with her right hand.
The veteran’s wife pushing the lady in green away from her.
The lady in green and the lady in white attacking the veteran’s wife.
The veteran grabbing the lady in green to restrain her from attacking his wife.
The man in yellow and man in blue shirts pushing the veteran to the ground while he is restraining the lady in green. (Partially obscured by signs).
The lady in white kicking the veteran’s wife in the head.
The veteran’s son rushing over to pull the lady in white away from his mother.
The lady in white kicks the veteran twive while he is restrained.
The lady in green attacking the veteran’s son.
The lady in white attacking the veteran’s son.
This video should be required viewing by anyone wanting to know what happens when ‘peace’ thugs are given free rein to vent their ‘peaceful’ feelings.

Update May 3, 2008

In an admission that the ‘peace’ thugs were out of control, the Erie Peace Initiative has proposed the equivalent of ‘Anger Management’ therapy for the group that attacked the Veteran and his family.

EDINBORO — A peace group that meets in Edinboro will receive training in nonviolent conflict resolution — a result of two members being charged for their parts in an April 22 brawl.

Trainers from the Erie Peace Initiative will meet with the Tuesdays at Two group, which includes a number of students from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. The session has not yet been scheduled.

In my view this should be the first in a twelve step program to bring loony moonbats back to a rational perspective on the law, history, the history of the United States, the threat and history of Islamofascism, and the attempts of the foreign influenced communist party splinter groups in the United States to undermine our morale and our government. But that’s just me…

The Erie Peace Initiative also left the sisters (green and white) hanging out there in a tacit admission of their culpability.

Some in the peace movement blame the sisters’ inexperience.

“They were wrong,” said Richard McVay, a Penn Action activist who met with the sisters after the fight. “They were wrong to react violently to a violent provocation. But I can see how it could happen.”

Thank you, Richard, for finally speaking the basic truth “They were wrong”. Of course you try and couch it by accusing the Veteran and his family of a “violent provocation”, but anyone viewing the two videos can see right through that rhetorical device.

All in all this was an important first step. Fixing the problem begins with realizing you have a problem and the first step was taken today.

Peace activists to be trained in conflict resolution
