#1 "One day after 21 people were arrested during a demonstration that vandalized a U.S. Army recruiting office on Milwaukee's east side, Wisconsin peace activist groups on Tuesday said some protesters might increasingly turn to destruction as their frustrations mount."

Make my day, assholes. The time for baseball bats and tire irons is nigh.

"Arrested were: Kelsey M. Kazik, 20, Sara Keiza, 17, Jillian Duckwitz, 21, Richard A. Ketcham, 22, Thomas P. Buckholt, 17, Andrew L. Ortlieb, 24, Kathryn E. Jacobs, 20, Keith Crum, 20, and Andrew Smart, 19, all of Milwaukee; Craig R. Barringer, 20, of Waukesha; Jonathon W. Wilson, 17, of Wauwatosa; Amy M. Barger, 19, Jessica L. Brooks, 18, Derek W. Johnson, 17, Nathan J. Bartelt, 20, Jeffrey G. Lavato, 18, and Kyle Sawson, 21, all of West Bend; and David W. Clerkin, 21, of Madison. The three juveniles were not named."

I got news for you: they're ALL juveniles. And fifty years from now, in their dotage, they'll STILL be juveniles-- and just as stupid, clueless, self-absorbed and liberal as they are today.

Damned f*cking idiots...

#3 A good baton (or bayonet) charge can become the quickest means of educating these idiots.

#4 Just the threat of a good skull bashing would wise these maggots up. Cowards aren't, like, into confrontation, man, especially when they're almost guarenteed a good ass kicking if they start any shit. Case in point, DC last weekend.

#5 No better yet. Round them up and drop them in Mecca for a week. Better yet leave them there. That is after all the side and cause they are protesting for.

#6 The great advantage of these high-profile Bolshevik agitators, (as opposed to, say, garden-variety media terror-shills) is that they can be ridden down in the streets Cossack style; once we equip the mounted police with the requisite fur hats and sabers, of course. Quite an entertaining spectacle by all accounts.

Something a lot like this happened in LA during a Moonbat riot a few years ago. A surly mob of lefty blackshirts were milling around in a parking lot, responding with obscenites when told to disperse. The mounted police showed up (sans sabers, sorry to say) and charged. The Moonbats fled in all directions, some probably so fast they left their birkenstocks sitting on the asphalt.

Prediction: A hasty exodus by the Doper-left forces when the real masses of the people begin to assert themselves. Timid creatures that they are, they may simply bolt in panic, leaving behind a squalid litter of empty Evian bottles, ruined banners, forgotten backpacks and birkenstocks, reams of garishly printed propaganda, and abandoned bongs; sort of a Moonbat Mitla Pass.

That is, IF they assert themselves. I'm not holding my breath.

#8 Well said, AC. It is time to take back the streets. I'm just waiting for something like this where I live. I have a bat in the car especially for the occasion.

#9 I have a bat in the car especially for the occasion.

Get rid of the bat, and buy yourself a "GOOD" Telescoping Tactical Baton. They're much more concealable, and they render people docile a lot quicker than a bat. Can you say shattered bones? Sure, I thought you could.

If you're anywhere near or downwind of them I strongly suggest you do.

#11 Yeah, real surprise this shit happens in Portland. And...wait...this just in from Portland...

Don't Bomb Iran, Portland City Council Votes

Never shy about expressing their opinions about national or world affairs, Portland City Council members voted Wednesday to urge President Bush and Congress not to bomb Iran. Portland becomes the second U.S. city, behind Berkeley, Calif., to demand a diplomatic solution to escalating tensions over Iran's continuing exploration of nuclear technology. Peace activists hope to spur a national call for a nonviolent end to the increasingly heated debate.

"We believe a military escalation is not the right way to go, and we believe the current conversations have far too much similarity to what was clearly a duplicitous effort to lead the world into war in Iraq," said Commissioner Erik Sten, who authored the resolution on behalf of Portland's American Iranian Friendship Council. "If we can spark a conversation in city halls across the country, we can have a real political impact."

With its 4-0 vote, the City Council asked members of Congress to vote for the Iran Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 2007, an effort to block President Bush from spending taxpayer money for military action against Iran "in the absence of an imminent threat." The fifth council member, Sam Adams, was at the International Global Cities conference in Montreal.

During Wednesday's hearing, more an affirmation than an actual debate, a dozen activists and immigrants testified that conditions for Iranian women, scholars and political activists have improved in recent years. They described the violence and extremism that resulted from the 1953 CIA-backed coup of Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. They talked about similarities between the U.S. buildup before the Iraq war and what's happening now in and around Iran. They found a willing and enthusiastic audience in the City Council.

Mayor Tom Potter said the United States should focus on restoring relationships and infrastructure in the Middle East, much as the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Europe after World War II. Commissioner Dan Saltzman said he supports peace in Iran, though he is troubled by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's insistence that the Holocaust did not happen.
...but not that troubled, evidently.

"The United States . . . should be a force for good," Leonard said. "Instead we find us using our resources to get a foothold in oil and preserve our industrial engine." In recent years, Leonard and his colleagues have voted to call for an end to the Iraq war, to condemn abuse of the U.S. Patriot Act and to deplore the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward homosexuality.

Although they followed Berkeley's lead on Iran, Portland council members have not gone as far as leaders of California's famed liberal hub: On the same day they passed a similar Iran resolution last week, Berkeley City Council members encouraged Germany to indict former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for war crimes.
Jeez, how'd we miss that one?

#13 I'd like to see a bunch of these idiots attempt to destroy a Marine Corps recruiting station, and a Marine Corps Reserve unit show up. I'd love to see the faces of these idiots when the commander of that unit gives the command, "Fix Bayonets".

#15 Use homosexuality to demoralize troops.
No Gods.
No Country.
No Masters.
So . . . anarchists.

And to top it off:

" . . . a dozen activists and immigrants testified that conditions for Iranian women, scholars and political activists have improved in recent years."

Whatever. And, what a lie.

The burning thing always gets media attention because it's VISUAL, and the media is driven by visual images, and when they find anything that remotely hearkens them back to the "hero days" of reporting on the Vietnam war, they're all for it. Never mind the facts or the context.

Oh, and these are the guys the Iranians and the rest of the facist Mohammendans just love. Useful idots.
