He wants to create a Kent State scene. He will have military guys firing on civilians if he can. Leftists put the brains full of mush in the front lines in clashes with police officer in the 60s so they would be radicalized.

Let him. They can't blame Bush for Obaama's National Guard.

Cheers!

Particularly offensive to me in reading the San Francisco Labor Councils condemnation here is seeing the deep disdain they place on our military services. Reading the resolution you find,

“Whereas, now the US military, which has been oppressing, bombing and threatening other nations [a military that’s paid for with the workers’ taxes] is now being used against us, against American working people and our unions. To quote ILWU international President McEllrath: ‘ILWU’s labor dispute with EGT is symbolic of what is wrong in the United States today. Corporations, no matter how harmful the conduct to society, enjoy full state and federal protection while workers and the middle class get treated as criminals for trying to protect their jobs and communities’.”

Such language is what we could expect to hear from the malcontents in the Occupy Anything But A Bar of Soap people as well as the low-life anti-war crowds who see the Military and those serving in it as something less that human, worth only their disgust.

That’s funny grey whiskers!

Ofcourse they blame Republicans for everything they do wrong...and get away with it through academic, media and entertainment propaganda, solidified in official history revision.

We should have a betting pool to see who forecasts the correct narrative of Republican blame that will be used when a soldier kills or injures the first Dem occupooper.:)

A Congressman once described the Ohio National Guard's shooting of the Kent State students as "one group of draft dodgers firing on another..."

That's the best description of that event I've seen.

I was in preppy school at the time, and most of my classmates went on a boycott.

I went to my classes.

I figured that people who gathered voluntarily to throw rocks at armed men who were ordered, under the threat of a courts martial, to be there most probably got, at the most, about a quarter of what they deserved.

I did three years of active Army after that, followed by four years of national guard duty, the latter including an almost riot towards the end of the NE 1978 blizzard.

My experience simply reenforced my high school judgment.
