Military Billed For Moonbat Mayhem
Last month some particularly despicable moonbats saw our troops off to battle at the Port of Tacoma by taunting the Stryker Brigade and police protecting conveys headed to Iraq. The mother of a soldier in Tacoma had this to say about the vermin:
My son was one of the Stryker soldiers who was moving the equipment to the port that night.
These people are protesting the shipment of Strykers. Strykers are what keep our infantrymen alive in Iraq. They are agile, strong, and the newest ones have very accurate firepower. Once again, the moonbats say they support our troops, but not the war. They show it by insulting the troops' intelligence, calling their NCOs names, and telling them that they will die for nothing. Nice. I personally like to tell my son that he will come home alive and we will be reunited. These protesters sounded more like spoiled, self-centered, obnoxious brats to me. Yet, at the end of the line, there stand our troops. They are carrying the weight of the free world on their shoulders and they get to hear this mindless drivel before they deploy.
The last big protest was at the Port of Olympia last year. The moonbats did damage to a fence around a yard that protects military equipment. The Strykers they were protesting that day were Strykers that were equipped with medical intervention equipment. The protesters were marching against medical supplies that our soldiers need desperately, and once again the very equipment that keeps our soldiers alive. It seems that there are two populations of people who hate Strykers: moonbats and insurgents.
Here's video of Tacoma moonbats demonstrating their support for the troops:
Policing 12 days of this lunacy cost Tacoma $500,000. But local taxpayers don't need to worry — because the bill is being passed along to the military.
At least the troops coming home from Vietnam didn't get fined for being spat on.

How stupid and naive are young socialist Brits? Stupid enough to marry Dennis the Menice Kucinich!

The only wry smile to be derived from the humiliating circumstances in which our 15 sailors and Royal Marines were captured by just six Iranians came from the comment by Patricia Hewitt. "It was deplorable," pronounced our tight-lipped Health Secretary, "that the woman hostage should be shown smoking. This sends completely the wrong message to our young people."

Those creeps were comprised mostly of students and faculty of nearby Evergreen College (a squalid leftist cesspool). It's a safe bet the City of Tacoma didn't ask them for a dime.

Hearing what these people said to the troops in the video I am hard pressed to understand what is the difference between them and fifth columnists? The things the crowd said to the troops sound just like the things enemy governments during time of war communicate to enemy troops in order to ruin enemy morale and reduce their fighting effectiveness.

The dirtbag on the bullhorn shouted "I was there". At that moment someone should have yanked him out of the crowd and demanded to see his Discharge papers.
Turn the machineguns on them!

Brilliant!!!!
The leader chanter said, "No Justice, No Peace"
10 seconds later he is screaming "We are not violent" at the police.

Maybe we should start scalping dead terrorists and billing the city of Tacoma?

I wonder why protesters are against medical equipment for our troops.
They do support the troops not the mission, right?
Strange...

I am very proud of the protesters. This war is illegal and people are dying needlessly. Thank God someone is trying to do something to stop it.
