Warmonger Propaganda Alert --> 'Peacenik' Protesters attack Iraq War Veteran and Family

[genie_weenie]

Gathering of Eagles is trotting out the a component of the SOP, enflame passions with http://newyork.gatheringofeagles.org/?p=99">Propaganda of "Attacks" on Veterans by Protesters.

From the story:

Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.

For the second time in as many weeks, an Iraq War Veteran and his family held a Support the Troops rally across the street from the weekly “peace” protest in this college town. This week the true nature of the ‘peace’ activists was revealed for all to see. When the veteran’s 14 year old son crossed the street to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy.

The story is loaded with words and phrases used to incite. Reading the story I'm amazed the Pro-Warmonger writer failed to see several components undercut his basic premise "Traitorous Leftists Attack Veteran Story"?

No arrests were made and the Responding Officers confronted the Veteran. Why? Who started this fight? Was there even one? What did the officers find or not find which didn't conform to the right wing propaganda version of the supposed attack? No cuts, bruises, scrapes, marks?

Well, I expect more of these kind of stories as the Pro-Warmonger Cowards attempt to control American's emotions and bunch all Anti-War protesters under one umbrella.

1. it's always the same story

the only part that gets changed is the location and the age/gender of the 'child' who gets harassed

2. The problem is so many americans will accept

this propaganda because the same cadre of right wing Warmongers will cross post each other and it'll became "Internet Fact".

3. Ah, you gotta love it. There was a similar protest in my town lately.

With the pro-troop guys across the street. I was going by and a took a second look at them, and the people holding up signs. Local homeless/mentally disabled folks were holding some of the pro-troop signs. I noticed them because I work with this population, I just thought it was funny...I don't know if they got promised a hot meal or something else, but I was none too impressed by the scene.

5. No interest in reports of the 'spitting on veterans' propaganda?

While I know from family history and from several DUers (Hail, TahitiNut!) that spitting DID occur on Vietnam vets, it's disconcerting to see such a blatant piece of propaganda being propagated through the Right Wing Insanity Echo Chamber.
