| Memorial Flag Desecrated |
| 2003-09-16 |
| Another memorial desecration. FRISCO, Colo. - An American flag placed atop a mountain peak in a national forest as a memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks was torched, authorities said. Probably in protest to Bush’s logical actions. Summit County deputies were investigating a report that a hiker found a note on the 13,589-foot snowcapped summit claiming responsibility for the fire, sheriff’s spokeswoman Jill Berman said Monday. "You evil amerikkkans! Yes, I burned that fucking symbol of all that is evil!" They got no father but there were bloodstains and disembodied lips. The burned flag was found Sunday. The FBI was notified because the flag was in the White River National Forest, Berman said. The flag had been placed on the peak on Thursday, the second anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, replacing a tattered flag that had been there since the first anniversary. The U.S. Forest Service at first rejected requests to replace the flag on the second anniversary, saying it would be a permanent structure forbidden by Forest Service rules. After angry residents considered protest petition, the Forest Service relented. Frisco is 60 miles west of Denver. Was it someone who rejoiced on 9/11 or an IPHSM moonbat? |

| #10 Actually, I wouldn't destroy the lefty icons because that would make the shit that was left more valuable. Parody is the way to go. Despair.inc has a site that may forever ruin motivational posters - something I abhor. |

| #6 I am completely opposed to the so-called flag-burning amendment. Nevertheless, lefties do not have a monopoly on free expression, their many assertions to the contrary notwithstanding. The proper response to this is simple, start destroying lefty icons: Che, Mumia, Arafat, and Junked VW buses "recreated" Woodstock memorabilia Vietcong, PA, and Greenpeace flags birkenstocks financial aid applications banner-size copies of trust-fund certificates Burqas, khaffiyas, black masks and t-shirts; and other symbols of dhimmi collaborationism. trash-cans full of condom packages, Kit-kat wrappers, and discarded Evian bottles Effigies of Hillary, Chomsky, Zinn, and Peter Jennings If flag-burning is legal, so is this. (just make sure that the trash actually belongs to you). It is equivalent, and it would very nicely expose the totalitarian left's intolerance and hypocrisy if it became commonplace, since they would undoubtedly respond with rioting and vandalism by their blackshirt enforcers and sanctimonious squeals from their fifth column media. Example: Counter-demonstrators could conceal Mumia posters beneath their "support our troops" signs or whatever. When the flag-burners light up, the cover signs fall off and Mumia's mugshot gets the torch as well. Having several dozen people do this at once might be quite effective, especially if they chanted "Fry Mumia" at the same time. |

| #5 I actually live in Vail and the rich around here are typically pro-Bush, pro-troops. There is, however, a large group of granola eating lefties living in the Breckenridge-Keystone area that are quite capable of this. For alot of us that live up here a 13,589 ft. moutain is just a day hike, so access isn't really an issue. I will say that if I ever here somebody bragging about this, they'll be picking their teeth off the ground. |

| #4 Aw, hell, OP - jumpin' to conclusions is about the only exercise I get anymore... ;> Didn't know about the pop. distribution, but I'd tend to rule out the Richie Rich types. If there was a lift to the top, now.... |

| #3 That's a whole lot of hiking for a desecration. Wouldn't have thought an antiwar dude would have had it in him/her. Little chance of publicity and all. |

| #2 Don't jump to conclusions, Mojo. There's a whole truck-load of loonies just a few miles further down the road in three directions. Dillon, a hangout for the near-rich and almost-famous, is just a few miles to the east. Vail, home of lots of REAL rich and famous, is just 20 miles to the west. Breckenridge, where a lot of rich and famous folks go to party, is just a dozen or so miles to the south. There have been many cases of vandalism, including one serious fire that the ELF/ALF terror mob took credit for, in taht part of the country. While Ranger Bob may have been aware, or perhaps even peripherally involved, there are a lot of other twits that we need to keep an eye on, as well. |

| #1 In a National Forest on top of a 13,589 ft. mountain? After 4 days? Gee, let's see, who would have a) knowledge that the flag was there (I didn't) b) free access to the area c) the stamina to climb up there Oh, Mr. Ranger... |
