A New Low...


Just when you think the anti-war protesters can't sink any lower...

Drudge has his siren out (and I'm not going to link to it until there's an outside link- he's flashing it, which means it will disappear), and I'll copy the whole thing.
ANTI-WAR PROTESTERS TARGET WOUNDED AT ARMY HOSPITAL
Wed Aug 2005 24 21:20:05 ET

Anti-war protestors besieged wounded and disabled soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C, a new web report will claim!

CNSNews.com is planning to run an expose featuring interviews with both protestors and veterans, as well as shots of protest signs with slogans like “Maimed for a Lie.”

The conservative outlet will post video evidence of the wounded veterans being taunted by protesters, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Developing late...
Like I said... this is beyond low. These soldiers were wounded protecting these people (and trying to give other people a better life), and this is the thanks they get?

Now is a good time to direct y'all to people who want to support the troops:
Soldiers' Angels which has a whole bunch of links to other sites
America Supports You

I'll post more as I find out more.

But Wait! There's More: In Seattle, evidently the way to welcome home veterans is to severely beat them.
Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square.... Police say the victims were with two women who'd been groped by the suspects. One of the women threw a hot dog at the suspects and walked away.

They didn't get very far. The three suspects ran after them and began attacking the two men -- two soldiers who'd come home from the war.

The graphic videotape shows both victims getting beaten over and over again, and then after one of the victims loses consciousness, a suspect starts stomping on his head.... Both victims suffered broken jaws, while one suffered a broken arm and both had other broken bones and several bruises.
So maybe they didn't know that the guys were soldiers. Maybe they were just upset because the guys' girlfriends didn't like their come-ons. Either way... just too much...
