Peace Rally report: More spitting at veterans and the return of Joshua Sparling

Published by Karl at 6:30 pm under Idiots, Military, intolerence

Yes they really did spit at (not on, at) him and call him names.  Via Hot Air.

Is this how the nutroots peacefully protest? Is this how they Support the Troops, but not the war?

Well this clip below has a familiar face to LSU, that of Joshua Sparling, the soldier I wrote about in 2005 who was recovering at Walter Reed, and recieved a get well card from a child that said:

Dear, Soldier, have a great time in the war and have a great time dieing in the war From migual Gallier ps DIE

I was pretty pissed then.  Michelle Malkin had a great write up on it too.

Well, he was at the rally in DC as part of the counter protest, this last weekend and got spit at, flipped off and called names.

But as the video shows, he is fairly level headed and fair about his experience, and even had a surprise for his girl friend.

Congrats and best wishes to you both.

I also include this video, from Hannity and Colmes where he discusses his repeated indignities.  In it he does detail the rally a bit more.

Once again it makes me wonder what the nutroots are so afraid of that they have to resort to personal indignities and rude behavior as a part of a peaceful protest.

Apparently the truth will not set you free unless you also throw cigarette butts.
