Protesters desecrate American flag in Phoenix [rescuers blocked by Homeland Security Capitol Police]
KOLD-13 and added comments, received via email ^ | Aug 04, 2010 | Dan Marries

PHOENIX, AZ (KOLD) - New video has surfaced from last week's SB-1070 protest that brought people to Phoenix from across the country, including immigrant-rights activists bused in from California.

The video shows those activists desecrating the American flag. They used spray paint to write, "deport Arpaio" and "impeach Brewer."

There's also a toilet seat on the stars. They displayed the desecrated U.S. Flag and Arizona flag while a man sang the national anthem.

Disgusting!

Photobucket

This photo was taken at a rally at the state capitol yesterday. The news will not show it and the Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or any of the Veterans that were there do anything about it.

My husband and his friends were threatened to be arrested and were told they would be booked under federal charges if they did anything. I am sending this to you so that you in turn can start emailing it to every one on your list. It is totally uncalled for and people need to see it.

This is not about politics and rhetoric, it is about a direct threat to our country. Those of you that don't live in Arizona will maybe get a chance to see the other side of what the news is telling you. If this offends you great, than I have truly accomplished what I set out to do.

I understand that sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but that is the right our forefathers fought for. I am an American before I am anything else. For those of you who choose to dismiss this. If you believe that this is okay I believe you are a traitor to this country and everything it stands for.

I am not a racist and I am not a Nazi; this has nothing to do with race, it has to do with respect to the country that is continually taking you in and turning a blind eye to your agenda.

Homeland Security was designed to identify and defend America from Terrorist acts yet yesterday it let illegal and legal citizens of this country desecrate the Flag. People were spitting on it, stomping on it and burning it with cigarettes. One soldier who had just returned from Iraq tried to grab the flag and was thrown to the ground by the Capitol Police and Homeland Security.

It amazes me how many people will stand against the American People while all the while prospering from our system and our government.

To those of you that will forward this to your friends I applaud you for the courage to stand up for the country in which you live.

To those of you who delete this, there is always someplace else for you to go.

================================================================

This is not a faked or photoshopped photo... it's real and the event is real.

Covered by KOLD TV-13 news
But only covered as a local news event. National news refused to air or comment on this event.

Regardless of you political beliefs, we are all Americans first and should respect our country's flag, what it stands for, and the lives of our servicemen to defend our nation. This is just not right!!!

We must ask the Homeland Security types "Whose side are you REALLY on?"

"Who do you REALLY think is the enemy?"

Good thing they didn’t try to burn a koran. Then Homeland Security would have REALLY had to do something to stop it.

Keep it up, assh@les. To the extent that there is a PR element to this fight, you’re losing folks that might otherwise be sympathetic.

The cost to stop this nonsense is going to be paid in blood. People are going to die on both sides before it is over. God help us.

And no one retaliates by burning the mexican flag? Are we afraid of offending the ILLEGALS?

Don't be fooled by emotion and rhetoric. Law enforcement at all levels is on the side of law and order. Neither of which would be served by letting the two sides go at each other in a physical confrontation.

Like it or not, they have the right to desecrate the flag. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990). Law enforcement can't stop people from doing what's legal, and they certainly aren't going to let a brawl develop by letting others attempt to stop it either.

Were the protesters charged 180k for the security, like the baptist minister.

Hint:" It is not ours[America's].

"Who do you REALLY think is the enemy?"

We Americans are to them.

It could have been worse. They could have threatened to desecrate or burn a quran.

I want to force them to think about it and declare their true allegiance.

Send this information to Drudge, Hannity, Rush, Malkin, Beck, Savage, et al. These videos and photos must be shown to We The People. Expose the Homeland Security personnel allowing our flag to be desecrated. Exposure is the only thing these anti-American political hacks fear. The Ruling Class Elitists in this Congress must be exposed as well.

***To the extent that there is a PR element to this fight, you’re losing folks that might otherwise be sympathetic.***

My husband’s male co-worker went to the men’s room and lit up a cigarette. He was reported and severely threatened with action if he did it again. His comment? “I could set fire to the flag on the city hall steps and nothing would happen, but I can’t light a cigarette in the men’s room.” That was many years ago.

TODAY: A preacher threatened, but didn’t set fire to a koran. The muzzzies are now at the U.N. demanding a world-wide ban on harming the koran. And they’ve gained the power to do just that. No one has said anything about burning the Bible.

We must ask the Homeland Security types "Whose side are you REALLY on?" "Who do you REALLY think is the enemy?"

And here is the answer.

OHAHA/DHS HATRED OF AMERICANS SPEWS FORTH No more proof is needed than Obama/Incompetano's profiling Americans as “rightwing extremists.”

On April 7, 2009, their hatred of Americans spewed full force as DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis sent out a nationwide alert to US L/E to act against "evil" conservatives. DHS identified “rightwing extremists” as a "danger" and defined “rightwing extremists” in a footnote, as follows.

OBAMA/INCOMPETANO ORDER L/E TO SUPPRESS AND DESTROY AMERICANS.

EXCERPT DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis to L/E: "Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

DHS later said that the report was not an attempt to squash First Amendment Rights for conservatives----only "hate groups"---- but, there was NO attempt to exempt anyone from these broad generalizations. Obama/Incompetano's report paints EVERY ASPECT OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM as "suspect."

This is indicative of a very disturbing government mindset. Obama/Incompetano's documented hatred of Americans, and their orders to L/E to surveil and supress Americans......contrasts sharply with their kid glove handling of drug lords, savages, and terrorists bent on violence and destruction.

THE COCKEYED WORLD OF OBAMA/INCOMPETANO: A VERY DISTURBING GOVT MINDSET Obama/Incompetano pulled out all the stops to go after American "extremists" few months back but seem "unable" to go after bombers and terrorists.

Keep in mind, Americans look at savage Mexican drug cartels, Reconquista shock troops on American soil, the undie bomber, and Shazad, with fear and trepidation, We demand justice. Ohaha/Incompetano, Holder, Emanuel, Axelrod, Soros and that bunch, look at these savages with kindness and understanding, b/c they are out to "get those evil American extremists."

===========================================

LISTEN UP TAXPAYERS--BE VERY CAREFUL Obama/Rahm/Axelrod/Jarrett, and the rest of the "progressive" nutjobs are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law. Obama gave ACORN $$billions to form Civilian Security reeducation camps.

Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome WH staff are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.

If these arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear, and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

This sign--more than anything---has turned the tide against illegals.
Especially among people suckered-in by the "here for a better life" scam.

Reconquista shock troops at Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010.

Freedom of expression/association/displaying of grievances, etc... no matter how disrespectful and idiotic.

Just burn a La Raza symbol to counter and really see what side homeland security/Federal Government is really on.

If the flag was a public display/or stolen by a private entity, prosecute the individuals harshly.

My group (Stand With Arizona) sponsored the immigration summit and rally that these savages tried to disrupt. They even used their children to desecrate the flag they made. We were singing the national anthem when they laid it out, and had a great rally. Then later when we saw this flag, our group went bonkers , but the Phoenix police surrounded these insects like a phalanx, and I myself almost got arrested after I grabbed the flag and tried to pull it out. It made me sick that the police didn't just remove this obsenity and tell these scumbags to leave due to incitement. It is a disgrace when the police are too afraid of the ACLU to do what's right. This is what you get from a dirtbag liberal mayor like Phil Gordon.

Pardon me, but they didn't allow anything. These folks have the perfect right to do anything they want to our flag. Burn it, stomp on it, take a dump on it, it is their legal right.

Do I agree with this? Absolutely not! Would I seethe with rage if I witnessed this? You betcha. Would I scream and yell at the perps? Of course.
