Vets arrested in Waterville

Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last!
:P

I heard the Waterville incident on the major news radio stations at noon and 2:00! We are getting nationwide attention on this one.

so there's likely to be a lot more play.

There's likely to be a lot of gum flappin' over this one, campers. Remember: the morons who planted the li'l white flags have the right to protest, regardless of how vile their approach or short-sighted their beliefs.
Wow, is that article biased much?
Makes me sick.

What action do you want the city to take now?

Mr. Bussiness man:
The actions of YOUR mayor reflect upon YOU! It is YOUR government. It is YOUR policy. It is YOUR dis-respect of the veterans of this country. CLEAN UP THE PARK ! This is NOT the place for trashy political anti-American display.
Until YOU take action to deal with YOUR mayor, with YOUR city council, my only option is to have us all do business elsewhere. In the name of free speach and fairness, must we picket YOUR business too?

Patriotic Veteran
Waterville, the place NOT TO BE.
Don't be a dink!
Businesses have nothing to do with this debacle. So you want to hurt the town's economy for a buncha bearded morons and the short sighted actions of the local PD?
Thanks a lot.
BTW, EAT MY SHORTS.

There is a chat thread about it on yahoo news!

Errrr... ahhhh...

Shop in Winslow. The town that says "SCREW YOU!" to bridges for appeasement. Just like they did on Independence Day!!!

Here is the thread on Free Republic

Culled from Tom O's post (link) above:

Wayne Elkins, the VFW commander who led the protesters and was among those detained, said he had no problem with the peace group, as long as it stays out of the cemetery. "They desecrated our veterans' grounds. If they want to protest, let them protest. We don't mind. But to desecrate hallowed ground is wrong," he said.

How can it be said any better than that? This is exactly the problem people are having with this. They can chant and hold hands in any public place they wish but when they start playing their media grabbing games on our hallowed ground, grounds that really mean something to people with any depth at all, they have crossed the line.

I wonder in the name of "fairness" if the mayor is going to grant a permit to have a similar party in one of the other cemeteries in Waterville. There is a huge one off Grove street. Heck, why not a porn demonstration at the public library or a NAMBLA convention at one of Watervilles public schools? Fair is fair, right? <-------Does anyone read the sarcasm?

I think the leadership really screwed the pooch this time. They seem to have a history of buckling to fringe groups anyway. Wasn't it just a month ago the Mayer signed a "No Nukes in Waterville" treaty from some anti-nuke fringe organization, and is considering signing a "It is cruel to leash your dog statement" from some animal rights fringe group? How about we remove the letters PC from our vocabulary and reinstall the phrase common sense.

I am quite pleased to see so many people angry about this. Maybe there is still hope Bud, maybe there is still hope.

From the AP article:

I will compose a list of things they have in common

1. Both groups members are homo sapiens (pending DNA analysis)
2. ahhh.........Sorry, that's about it.

"Errrr... ahhhh...

'That town' had nothing to do with it. It was the volunteer parade committee, many of whom do not even live in Winslow.
I know quite a few of them, I got a supportive letter into the Morning Sentinel on their behalf.
Most are businessmen!
You're a closet leftie, if you are seriously promoting this tactic.
So, eat my hunting campshorts!

Is there any place to shop in Winslow?

Fortunately, I think they only have one or two lawyers on that side of the river so it will be tough for people in this area needing representation to boycott all the lawyers in town. :D

By the way, my office is just down the street from the park. I could see the park if there were not some buildings in the way. But I was safely out of town before the fireworks started.

Oh come on guys..

Can't you tell it's tongue in cheeck?

IT'S WATERVILLE WINSLOW RIVALRY, BAYBEE!

I sent this on to Mike Savage, hopefully he will cover it. It made the papers in San Fran Freako....

WOW, see what I Get for WORKING FOR A NIGHT.

GEEE...

I wish I did not pull an assignment in Portland... I would have driven up.

You see these PEACE COMMUNIST, are the same DOUCHES that had the guy arrested in Wiscasset after they stopped his car in traffic, and then claimed he tried to hit one of them.

These USE THE LAW AGAINST YOU...

COMMUNISTS, TIME FOR A VET TO SHOW THEM THE RULES OF THE ROAD.

I sent some emails about this to Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, and Ingraham. Hopefully we will get some coverage from them.

Emailed the Glenn Beck show, talked to a call screener but my cell cut off....they were going to put me on the air. Hopefully they follow through.

I still can't believe this happened. Is this "The Twilight Zone"?

I sent it to Beck also.
Listen on Monday, ya never know.

....these bastards that put the white flags should get 30 days in the electric chair...

you wouldn't settle for 30 seconds and we turn on "the juice" so they wet their pants?

This will be a topic on Glenn Beck show....am holding in line right now. Get ready for an "Ohhhhhh Yeahhhhh!!!!!"

Still on hold? I'm listening.

Yes...on hold

AAAAHHHHH! Lights here just blinked, phone system too, here in the office. Call dropped!

First off I want to thank everyone for wonderful insults many posted.

That background qualifies you to ask a lot of questions. Mostly along the lines of 'you want fries with that?'

Seeing as I am a Licensed Social Worker; have a bachelors degree in Behavioral Science; am an Eagle Scout; am a registered Republican; have worked as a short order cook, potato picker, mowing lawns, pizza cook; and have been gainfully employed since the age of 15, I am surprised by your hateful posts, which are stereotypical in nature and do nothing but take away from the thread. Now, Charlotte would say I am part of a protected class (being a christian, heterosexual white male), and would this raise to a level of hate speech (just kidding!) Perhaps I can file a complaint to the human rights commission??? :wink:

That said, I am offended by the other social workers behavior which gives all social workers a bad reputation. I support our veterans, our military and our president. I find the actions of these idiot protestors distasteful, and reprehensible. They are not worthy of a response from our esteemed vets. Their right to protest is protected by these vets. They are sad excuses for Americans.

Aha! a social worker we can like Catherine! :D :wink:

So Catherine,....do you want fries with that?......... :lol:

I may be likable, but it appears I am only qualified to ask the above question...... 8)

So, Are we going to see a small parade today of ,say 4 or 5 social workers picketing cityhall for their bad taste in choice of proper protest location sites?

I've sent my e-mails to cityhall ( about as effective as an eyedropper on a forestfire.)

I'll search the yellow pages today for places to shop in Winslow.

ugh

What does this have to do with your original post of...
