Bush Meets With and Honors Man Three Days After He Attacked Gold Star Father
Bush Meets With and Honors Man Three Days After He Attacked Gold Star Father
Submitted by davidswanson on Tue, 2007-10-02 15:49. Activism

By Hannah Johns

On September 18, 2007, three days after members of the pro-war Gathering of Eagles were involved in the verbal, then physical, attacks on Gold Star Father and war opponent Carlos Arredondo (and to a much lesser extent myself) at the march in DC, the pResident, Laura, Condi, Karen Hughes, and Darth Cheney hosted groups they deem supporting the troops at a breakfast on the south lawn of the Whitehouse. Here are three pictures which show that the administration is not too choosy in the terrorists it invites for eggs and bacon. There is a photo of Chris Hill, 'National Director of Ops' for the Gathering of Eagles, with the pRez himself, one of Chris Hill over Carlos during the altercation, and one just after as he distances himself from the police questioning. These people continue to encourage physical confrontation with those they disagree with, which now polls show is a strong majority. This was a wakeup for me. I didn't think that in public they would try to strongarm a middle-aged woman like myself. The verbal abuse they hurled at those who passed them by would have been reprehensible enough, but to follow up with ripping off (fallen US soldier) Alex Arredondo's photo, and the ensuing kicking of his father, was shocking. To me, anyway. I guess not to Bushco.

3. I call rampant classism.
You are accusing the man of being ignorant not because of his political stand, but because he has bad teeth.

Using the finest hand-tools Home Depot can provide.

5. It's just like AWOL Monkey-Boy said .....





"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

— George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004




So this yo-yo gets commended for carrying out the wishes of the evil BushCo regime. Says Smirky .... "You're my kinda Murkin."

6. Par for the course, Now Watch This Swing
I actually heard Chris speak at their little Pro War Rally. He told the story how he showed up at Code Pinks place and how rude he was to Medea. He's a real piece of work. I turned the volume down after his speech and soon after that I changed the channel.

They are the most hate-filled people in this country. It makes me wonder if they are get training at Blackwater. It wouldn't surprise me.

9. Just in case there was any doubt...
...that our country is being overrun by, and ruled by jackbooted thugs, this should put it to rest.
