Protests at military hospital???

[DougieZero]

Go to Drudge and check it out... This seems nutty to me...



kind of like his infamous "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE BANNED AT CALIF. SCHOOL!" headline.

[Mythsaje]

1. My boss

reads Drudge.

And he seems like such a sensible guy otherwise.

Well, mostly. He's a bit gullible in some respects. Like when one employee is doing her level best to stab the others in the back and he doesn't seem to get it.

Huh...well, the two things do dovetail, don't they?

:banghead:

[LoKnLoD]

2. It's like thumbing through the Star or National Enquirer

in line at the grocery store.

[Maple]

3. I dunno

What's CNS?...they're supposed to be showing it.

[seriousstan]

5. I saw this and checked out CNS. It is a rightwing news site.

As for the article on Drudge, I hope it isn't true but I don't put anything past people. I will wait for the article and especially the video before I make a firm decision.

4. well...

it's Drudge after all...

I for one do not believe it...

[DougieZero]

6. Dosen't make sense...

We know about most protests here... it takes a conservative NewsMax type site to expose this explosive charge?

Could this be a set up to discredit the anti-war movement?...

[SledDriver]

7. Drudge = cyber gossip

He probably calls them "anti-war protestors", but leaves it to the reader to make a connection to Cindy Sheehan.

Drudge is a piece of shit. :hurts:

[I Have A Dream]

8. It's probably freepers posing as anti-war protesters.

I would definitely not put it past them.

[Postman]

9. I smell a RWing set-up...

agent provocateurs trying to discredit anti-war protesters?


http://www.answers.com/topic/agent-provocateur

Agents provocateurs are also used against political opponents. Here, it has been documented that provocateurs deliberately carry out or seek to incite counter-productive and/or ineffective acts, in order to foster public disdain for the group and provide a pretext for aggression; and to worsen the punishments its members are liable for.

10. What's the deal here at DU? Faux, Drudge, Robertson...

We are being distracted mightily - is it a "slow news day" of something?

[ElectroPrincess]

11. No, I request that you don't use Rove's Net Butt Boy's link ...

Drudge is a worthless Bush-Co. mouthpiece. Any time Turd Blossom want's to float a trial balloon, he gives it to The Drudge Report.

Don't click on this a**holes link and drive up his business.

Instead consider ignoring the Right Wing Kool-aid drinkers propaganda. Well Duh! :puke:

[brettdale]

12. You can expect this tatic to increase tenfold

This is another trick by Karkl Rove and Co, they will start spreading stories, that wounded Troops are being protested against, they will start spreading stories, that Troops are being spat on, they will do this in hoping the public will hate antiwar protestors.

Im 100% sure they will also, send people out dressed as antiwar protestors to act violently verbally and physically to members of the public, its an age old trick.

Dress up as the people who oppose you , to make them look bad.

13. The wonderful folks at Camp Casey visited

The local Vet hospital.

http://198.65.14.85/News/2005/31-40/34news12.htm

A group will be leaving Camp Casey II around 11 a.m. and arrive at the Waco Veterans Hospital around noon to push for continued funding of the facility.

Try not to get your news from Drudge, eh?

14. I found this at thruthout too.

50 vets and family members held a spirited rally at the VA Hospital. They chanted, "Mr. President, we support the troops, why don't you!" and "Keep the VA Hospital open."

Cody Camacho of Iraq Veterans Against the War spoke about how he lost his family because his wife didn't know the Cody who came back from Iraq. Our troops need more, not fewer hospitals.

15. It is Code Pink doing the protesting at Walter Reed Hospital.

I saw the video. They are protesting every Friday night there.

I disagree with this tactic. It is not helpful.
