Bearing responsibility for one's words and actions are not fashionable these days, but to have incited this kind of hatred towards our Military is somehting which needs to be addressed...and soon.
The only good news is that regardless of how hard these anti-Military groups try, monthly recruitment goals continue to be met by all branches of the Armed Forces.
Thank God that no one was killed or injured.
Yes, Loon, I am somewhat bemused by the argument that the matters were "conflated". Perhaps they have never heard of Gordon Allport's "Five Stages of Prejudice" : -

Those in the know will know that slagging off and extermination are ends of a spectrum of abuse: there's no "conflation" or any other college word to be trotted out: it's targeted abuse of the military and those who wear the uniform. Simple as that.
May I also just say re Fred's show on 9 March that I found the chorus of idiots calling you a "bafoon" etc to be one of the most amazing "pot calling the kettle black" moments I've come across in some time.
RE responsibility for one's own words:
Do these asshats, and I used the term advisidly, really want me to believe that if I went on George's show and said "all black people are [this or that]" that it would be re-played across BTR as proof that I am a racist or just plain old idiot?!
Fucking hell.
But when THEY do it, it is somehow a "joke" that we are too "stupid" to get.
For supposed liberals, they appear to suffer from amnesia: The old "it was a joke defence" is right out of the race/gender discriminator's playbook.
typo alert:
should read: "that it WOULDN'T..."
Code Pink is very quiet about this. I wonder were the celebration is for them?
I think I heard on the down low it was going to be held at 430 S Capitol Street, DC. Could be a rumor though.
There's a chilling ad Move America Forward has on attacks against recruitment centers:

I put a post up on this subject relating it to a famous historical incident where political violence was used. You should hear the lefties howl.
