Leaders of a church that's drawn national controversy for its protests at U.S. military funerals say they plan to picket Friday's services for two Scott County High School cheerleaders and sisters killed in a weekend crash.

Blogger Michael Crook, known for Forsake the Troops and other such sites, pays veterans a little "visit", at a veterans' cemetery in Southern New Jersey. This video is a protest against veterans, and the military pay structure.

I am so livid right now. I ran across this article this morning from a guy who thinks that troops and vets don't deserve the pay and benefits they get... http://www.michaelcrook.net/military-pay I come from a military family, so this guy better hope my boot doesn't meet his arse!

In this DU thread, a story is posted that Michael Crook, the founder of "Forsake the Troops" has been beaten to death. As the thread progresses, "freepers" are identified as the likely purps.

Here is a website I have just run across and I am wondering if anyone else has seen or acted on it. I look at these people and feel they should get the same attention as Code Pink. I am currently trying to find out if they have a branch in Georgia or South Carolina. I would love to see some FReepers get on national news with these people. Here is their link. http://www.citizensagainstthetroops.org/

UNHINGED SCUMBAG OF THE YEAR By Michelle Malkin   ·   December 18, 2005 02:07 PM Lowlife Michael Crook, the troop-smearing, cop-bashing, white supremacist sicko, is claming responsibility for the despicable death-wish greeting card received by injured soldier Joshua Sparling at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Recall that the card was signed "Miguel." Crook also claims that he sent similar letters to VFW halls across the country, as well as to the Veteran's Hospital in Syracuse. From Crook's blog (I don't want to send him traffic, but you can find his blog here if you have the stomach for it): For those that...

NOTE: I don't know if this is the POS who sent the hatemail to Joshua Sparling at Walter Reed, but he is taking credit for it. ====================================================================== http://www.michaelcrooktalks.com/node/121 Yes I did it Submitted by michaelcrook on Sat, 12/17/2005 - 2:06pm. Rants For those that have e-mailed or IM'd me regarding the card sent to Joshua Sparling, yes I did it. I do not regret a minute of it. I even included a jab at my detractors, by signing it "Miguel". Here in the photo, the card obviously made it to its intended destination, his hands and his hospital room. Enjoy...

For those that have e-mailed or IM'd me regarding the card sent to Joshua Sparling, yes I did it. I do not regret a minute of it. I even included a jab at my detractors, by signing it "Miguel". Oh, and for the veteran scum at various, randomly chosen VFW halls across the country-- including Fountain Hills, AZ; Dayton, OH; Syracuse, NY; Mays Landing, NJ; Houston TX, and more.... you're welcome for your "special" cards and faxes. And, yes, I was the "heartless SOB" that sent four cards to the Veterans Hospital on Irving Avenue in Syracuse. No, I don't...

This is not new to most, but I just found out yesterday. I am a United States Marine serving in Fallujah, Iraq. Marines that are currently serving overseas in Iraq are not aware of Michael Crook and the comments that he said about us. It is not my intention to bring this situation to a higher level. But for an American citizen to laugh about another dying, especially while they are dying for there country, is outrageous. Michael Crook deserved to die and no-one in the military should care less. I turned down college, and a promising future with my...

After getting his butt handed to him from Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes (in a rare display of backbone) Michael Crook took down his site www.forsakethetroops.com . Now in it's place it's just www.michaelcrook.com . In honor of Memorial Day he has outdone himself with a thoroughly disgusting front page. This guy either has a lot of guts or he is criminally stupid pulling something like this when he lives barely an hour from FT Drum (home of the 10th MTN Div). I'm sure it's the latter and not the former. http://www.michaelcrook.com/

ABOUT, FORSAKE THE TROOPS--THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE This is a critical look at the website "Forsake The Troops" and the reasons it's owner supposedly being  a Michael Crook and why he has this website on the Internet. You might think that Michelle, I mean Michael Crook held deep convictions about our military and why they are paid to be soldiers..... WELL I hate to disappoint you but that has nothing at all with the reason he has put this site up...Michael I mean Michelle ...I just can't seem to get his name right...so I think I'll just call him Girlyboy....

It seems as though the [insert most vile metaphor you can think of here] that I blogged about here couldn't stand the heat and/or didn't drum up quite the following that he envisioned. According the Marine Corps Times, it appears that this individual faked his own death, supposedly at the hands of pro-military folks. That fits nicely with his MO, but strangely enough, local law enforcement has no report of it. Of course, since the guy also owns the "Forsake The Police" web domain, I'm thinking that any criminal activity involving his demise might not get the attention that a...

Remember Michael Crook - the guy with the reprehensible "Forsake The Troops" website? It is being reported on his blog that he was killed last night. http://www.michaelcrook.com/mikesweblog/?q=node/10 I am a member of Michael Crook's family...we do not have the passwords needed to update this website, but he did make me an account on this blog. As it mentions on the Troops site, today at 6:19pm EST, Michael Crook died at an area hospital as a result of head injuries sustained from an assault by people upset with his website. Michael died with his wife, and baby present. He was 27....

PHILADELPHIA -- A New Jersey soldier, who is being sent back to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty next week, lost his digital camera at last weekend's Eagles game. The memory card in the camera had many pictures of the holidays with Spc. Elwood Wrigley's friends and family that he said were very precious to him. Wednesday night, someone e-mailed NBC 10 to say they found the camera and offered it back, but at a price. A man identifying himself as Michael Crook said he'd return the holiday photos for $1,000. Part of the e-mail read: "I would be...

http://www.forsakethetroops.info/ Forsake The Troops-- The Official Website! (Formerly Citizens Against the Troops) This website is proudly dedicated to the notion that our nation's military is grossly overcompensated, at the expense of the American taxpayers-- these scumbags get pay and benefits tax free when in a combat zone. Granted, they're not on US soil when being paid for "services" rendered, but they are still US citizens, and still must pay taxes, just like the rest of us. Our problem is this: the military is a lifestyle these morons chose. What idiot risks their life for a country? It's what they chose....
