I didn't but know what you mean.

It is interesting that none of the peace marchers on this blog have chimed in on this...

ROC,

Well, that was disturbing. Got any write ups to go with the pictures? Who were the protesters? How many of them were there? Etc.

Boyd,

That's who those protesters were? OMG! LOL

My point was that it is intellectually and morally dishonest to find some wacko outlier fringe group and claim that their actions or statements are representative of anyone else.

Agreed. That's why I asked for some info to clarify the pics.

A bunch of Pro-war activist set a dummy on fire, pretending to be protesters....it's all a set up...you guys are so gullible.

Is there any link to this that doesn't require registration? Were these protestors American?

Was that very large banner that said "Fuck The Troops" also a set up?

There's a pic of that as well

Meanwhile, these idiots are all dressed in all black para-military type uniforms while wearing masks. Cowards trying to look intimidating.

Evidence?

"Tell me again how this shows support for our troops?"

I love the desperate deflections from Royd, Comedian and Hans since there really is no getting around this one.

Gal, they were at a "peace" rally in Portland Ore.

"I love the desperate deflections from Royd, Comedian and Hans since there really is no getting around this one"

Bullshit. See Hans' post above. This is just an attempt to smear liberals.

"...there really is no getting around this one."

What? That you're claiming some kind of "all liberals are like these pictures" thing?

Okay, then my 4:07pm post clearly demonstrates the the true nature of so-called right-to-lifers, conservative Christians, Republicans in the South and the US military.

Accept all of the pictures I posted as proof of what they show, or admit that these pictures are really just the fringes...like the ones you're ballyhooing

"Gal, they were at a "peace" rally in Portland Ore."

And these are at a "right-to-life" rally:

Why CIA abuse is medieval madness

Today, terrorism suspects subjected to this medieval torture admit the wildest things too. Just ask 9/11 plotter, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
KSM was bound to a stiff wooden plank at a secret CIA black-site prison. Interrogators tilted one end of the platform so that his head was several inches below his feet. A rag was fixed in his mouth and cellophane was firmly wrapped over his face.


maybe a CIA effigy would be more appropriate?:>)

Sounds pretty light. What, maybe brought him a bagel and cream cheese and a cup of Columbian coffee and interrogated him? Maybe let him watch Dr. Phil and Oprah?

I personally don't care what they do to him, repeatedly!!!

I never said anything like that, you did, just then. All I asked is how was that supporting troops.

As for the link, it must have been pulled down, but the LGF ones are just a few of the pics that were in the original link.

Everything else is deflection.

"I never said anything like that..."

Sure you did:

Patton often claimed to behold visions of his ancestors. He was a staunch believer in reincarnation, and anecdotal evidence indicates that he held himself to be the reincarnation of the Carthaginian general Hannibal, or a Roman legionnaire, or a Napoleonic field marshal, etc.

From Data's post

And then there is "The Brass Target":>)

i wholly disagreed with most of the other comments. brass target is one of the best world war ii movies made. i do recall the tag line was different that that reported on this sight. Patton thought he was about to find who stole the Reichsbank gold and he ended up dead; millions of dollars says there was a connection.

Brass Target is based on Frederick Nolan's book The Algonquin Project which appeared in the 1970s a period when fundamental assumptions could be called into question. Nolan tackled the tangled mess of the Patton assassination. Who ordered it? Was it The Russians whom Patton played here by grand eloquently by George Kennedy provoked, US politicians who found Patton distastefully attracted to the Germans, the Army full of pent up jealousies? Nolan hypothesized a connection between the looting of US occupied West Germany with Patton's demise allegedly in a mob styled rub out in an auto accident.

As the film opens, the great war was won but Patton has days left in Germany. For various faux pas, the great general has been ordered home in disgrace, but he's still investigating the disappearance of the Reichsbank gold. It's very difficult to get anything done even for the General with a less than gentle roar.

Though GC Scott is more like the diminutive wiry Patton, I think George Kennedy did a better job replicating Patton's bellow and hostility to the Russians who are always there to chide Patton about the virtual dissolution of the US Army.

Enter Major Joe De Lucca (John Cassavetes) New York born Italian - American with a gritty charm. Patton wants the thief who stole the Reichsbank gold found. The trail of corpses left behind in the cover-up leads Major Lucca across occupied Europe back to Comstack Correctional Facility to visit convicted NYC gangster Lou Costello who tells the Major that Army Intelligence already knows the answer.

Can Major Lucca make it back in time to warn General Patton? Even though history teaches you the answer to that question, the film keeps you riveted to the seat.
