Da Goddess

These people make me shudder.

Their stupidity could fill an entire ocean. And yet they think they are the voice of reason?

I'm terrified. Time to find a deserted island in the south pacific and set up a true Moxtopia.

It's embarrassing to be considered an American, if these miscreants are...but I suppose that is questionable.

Whoa boy. There are certainly idiots in the world. Sometimes way too close to us. Give Little Dude a big hug from me (or from Phee!) He's obv learnt lovely manners from his lovely Mum.

Gee, I wish I was there - actually, I wish John was there - he could have verbally slaughtered that asshat and physically intimidated him just by looking at him crosseyed!

Yeah... and Paul would have helped John in a second! Good job Little Dude. I am proud of you. {{{hugs}}}

Why is it that all these protestors look like the kid who kept getting his ass kicked in 4th grade because he was a pussy?

These people are reprehensible. That being said I wouldn't have taken my young child to an event like this in the first place. Go protest at a Chuck E Cheese or something.

Real peace can only be found on the other side if war... some folks just don't get it. It is ironic that so many that shout so loudly that our actions are evil are totally missing the fact that in some countries their actions would have resulted in their being lined up and shot. The freedom to act like an idiot is a part of this "evil america" that folks are so quick to denounce...

sad really... knee jerks

It's funny how the anti-war movement has drawn every nut case and antisocial (I mean that in a clinical way) nitwit to it. This pedophilic coward of a man has found a group with which to associate that obviously condones his bullshit, which in itself speaks volumes on the nature of this entire "movement;" i.e. it isn't a movement; it's just a gathering of our society's bottom-feeders. This puke needs the F***ING SHIT KICKED OUT OF HIM as soon as possible, to learn a hard lesson: freedom isn't free. Sometimes you have to pay for what you say.

As I noted in my comment over in LT. Smash's site where he links to this post, apparently the creep looked over your bunch and tried to find his intellectual equal. Unfortunately for him, he was once again outclassed.

Perhaps next time someone in your group can bring a 3-year old for him to debate.

Has anybody noticed, or is it just me, that the entire palate of anti-war rhetoric is nothing but a smoke screen for anti-Semitism?

It's like the pink elephant in the room that we aren't talking about. We whine and moan about WMD's/No WMD's and what fringe group of Jew Hater's Inc. had coffee with what ruthless dictator's hack, and what global corporate whore is going to get rich, but we never have the balls to call the spade the spade.

These people aren't for peace, they're for the destruction of Israel and now Israel's war is our war. Deal with it.

I might add the pro-war side isn't doing itself justice by rambling about freedom, terrorism and mass graves either.

It's about letting the Jewish people have their own homeland and letting them live safely within the borders set by the United Nations back in what? 1957?

This story saddens me and provides yet another reason to worry about our future. Will it take the destruction of an American city to make these people pull their heads out of their asses?

Rankin' Rob, normally I wouldn't have taken my son to a rally - but the group I went with is very civil and I fully anticipated being on the other side of the street. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get over there in time. We were relatively hijacked by the protestors as we were making our way across the street.

Little Dude will NOT attend another rally...but he will be with me for the next "Victory Vigil" - where the opposing group is much more civil and not at all confrontational.

They don't get it, they just don't get it.

Thanks for your article, I do hope you and your son is ok. This is a perfect illustration of just how nasty, how anachronistic, and how hypocritical today's "peace" movement is. Setting upon a seven year old kid, that is just lower than low.

Elsewhere, I have read that some of these self appointed voices for peace are complaining of being labled unpatriotic, or unintelligent, or insane. Its very simple, If you don't want people to think you are a treasonous, stupid, lunatic, don't act like one. If your entire argument is to say "f**k" to seven year old kids, you ain't got one.

But in the end, I think these "peace" protestors are actually helping our side to the detriment of their own cause. Nobody really wants to associate with such folks, and guilt by association can be effective at getting the other side to police its own.

My experience with the "peace" movement was very similar. I encountered nothing but vitriol and violence. There isn't much substance at all behind these things, but for some reason they aren't as marginalized as they should be. Thanks for pointing out the callowness of these people for the rest of America to see.

Sorry for the OT, but I was just looking at your Memorial Day Parade picvs, and wondered if any of them were taken on Alder or Terrace, or were they right on Kensington Drive? I used to live one block off of Kensington, just north of Adams, on the corner of Alder & Terrace.

Oh, and I thought you handled the creep admirably.

Little Dude,

You're awfully young to learn firsthand that the world has a lot of mean spirited, small minded ignorant people in it, and I sorry you found out the hard way.

Always remember that for every man like that, there are three decent and honorable ones to be found, so as you go through life, choose your friends and leaders carefully, because guys like that can do a lot of damage when let into your life, or elected office.

Yeah. What they said.

Isn't it strange how those who claim to protest for peace are actually protesting against our government. I really find it funny that people are willing to partake of the fruits of our society without rolling up their sleeves and getting dirty. Camilo can be likened to those who remain on our welfare system and bleed our society dry. He is willing to partake of the fruits (education, food, housing) but not pay up when asked. Life isn't about one-way streets.

Yannow....I've been steaming about this since you told me. I just can't find the words for how pissed off it's made me. My pals that I have told about it are pretty pissed too, but none are surprised. None are surprised...amazing, eh?

Just to let you know, I was hoping to update this post (heck, the whole site) but I have a broken blog and can't publish anything at the moment.

Thanks to all of you who have commented.

Good post! I'm sorry too, about what happened to your boy. There's gotta be a way to get through to these people. That is, facts vs. rhetoric.

On an entirely different note: I have a (very) small webhosting business, as an aside. I'd be happy/honored/thrilled to host you as a freebie. Looking at your host's website, none of the plans I saw came even close to the bandwidth you could use; you can hit 100 GB/month and it wouldn't bother me.

Email me if you're interested. (But moving a site can be a pain, too!)

Trying again; I hope it takes my email address this time..

Liberals want to pay for what they say, with other people's money.

Wow - you handled that so wonderfully! I'm very impressed with your restraint and CLASS!!!

ANYONE who targets a child or uses them to try and promote thier petty causes is less than slime.

Way to Go Joanie!!! What a GREAT role model you are for Little Dude. He's one lucky boy!

PEACE NOW!! Gandhi did it, MLK did it, Mandela did it, why can't we??

Kyle, why don't you ask that of Saddam?

Have the Protest Warriors thought up some contingency plans for when these things get violent? Stuff like protective gear, tactics, communications, lawyers in case you get arrested?

Please don't think this a frivolous or provocotive question. We have the historical example of many Leftist movements which were cheerleaders for despotism, during Vietnam, No-nukes, etc. I think it becomes more and more likely, the longer these parasites continue, that they will apply some Marxist "heighten the contradictions" crap (commit acts which would cause a reaction, i.e. violence).

Sad to say, I agree that taking the little ones ought to be off the agenda, if that hero who couldn't restrain himself around a child is anything to go by.

Smash is a professional, it might be a good idea if he and some other pros sat down and war-gamed some scenarios for when things get more intense--and I think it is a reasonable assumption that they will. Your opponents despise civility, glorify street brawling, in general operate from a completely different set of assumptions from decent folk. You don't want to get caught short when the time comes, at least I hope you don't.

Dang, I almost forgot to tell you guys thanks for your actions.

Kyle--

Gandhi, MLK, and Mandela were fortunate in the opponents they faced, as compared to opponents like Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, Castro, etc.

Grow up.

Ah yes, the people who think they can curse on a public street because America means they can- Without thinking it also means a place where people's kids don't have to hear it and deserve to have some respect in _their_ lives. Rights means they can do anything and that no responsibility comes with it. Very limited reasoning skills.

People like that seem to be around only because it is illegal to turf them.
