This is terrible!
Discrimination of a hero!!
Now that’s weird!
SHAME ON AMERICA TODAY IF THIS IS NOT DENOUNCED BY EVERY AMERICAN BUT MOST ESPECIALLY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WHO THIS BRAVE YOUNG AMERCAN SERVED UNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is this Peace Activist now that her President has a kill list, hiding out in her little apartment waging her own little pathetic war on the very brave Heroes who sacrificed to keep her safe! This is disgusting!!! Where is Obama, who just gave a big speech to our Veterans ensuring they will be treated right!!!!! Where is Holder to protect the rights of this Hero??!! Nowhere, of course, because under Obama’s Justice Dept only illegals and blacks with billy clubs garner his corrupt attention!
This is unbelievable! I called the Dept of Justice...202-514-2000, told the operator I was calling regarding discrimination against a Veteran, they passed me to the Civil Rights Division, Special Litigation Section and here is the message I got:
“Your voicemail determines whether we will call you back, in most cases, we will not call you back!”
Well we won't be calling you morons back on November 6th!
I encourage folks to pick up the phone and hear this bizarre message for yourself!!
This Veteran plans to sue! Good for him! Where is the American Legion, the VFW, and all those Veterans who heard Obama’s speech on Memorial Day at the wall?!
I tried to call the illustrious John Kerry, another hippie freak peace activist! You'll love this. You can't talk to anyone in his office either, you have to leave a message. Boy, these Democrats really no how to serve the people, don't they! 202-224-2742...same with his local office...617-565-8419...those are messages I don't expect returned!
So I called Scott Brown's office in DC, Alex in the DC office was very concerned and said she will get attention on this matter immediately. She took my number.
Senator Scott Brown : 202-224-4543
I reiterate my promise to vote out this shameful bunch on November 6th!!!!!
Please pick up your phone today and stick up for this Hero who served his country, risked his life, and now wants to put a roof over his head in the very country he could have died fighting to keep safe! Please fight for our Troops and Veterans who have fought for you!

Unless she has some other reason, a reason that is valid under the law, she must rent to him. The “I don’t respect his views” will never last long in court.
CA Freeper ping to post #4!
I am awed by your patriotic fervor. However, I would prefer to live in a country where a private individual could choose all manner of things regarding his own property, money, investments. The Civil Rights Commisar is no friend to democracy. Ditto ADA. I would so much prefer a leftist nut be permitted to rent to whom he aligned with, which would mean that a Christian is not obligated to rent his property to a couple of limp-wrists. Why would this, as you say brave warrior, want to rent from an anti-American?
I’m with you. Keep the Government out of this, and let private citizens handle it.
"“There was never any mention to Morgan that his being a veteran would impede his chances to rent from us. If anything, he was a victim of U.S. greed, and for that, I feel much empathy.”
I think the guy should give her a suggestion or two about where she can shove her empathy. Know whut I mean, Vern?
Does anyone else see the irony in Pacifists picking all kinds of legal/social fights?
There is no point fighting any war until we take it seriously. We should never enter a war until we are prepared to fight under WWII rules of war.
Wars should not be treated as they are today. But that is a larger point that what you are suggesting.
Despicable as that is, suing and winning will end up being yet another expansion of federal power via the Civil Rights Act. It would actually be better for vendors, tenants and neighbors who want to show support for the veteran to simply discriminate against this bozo until he relents.
>> Until we take war seriously the property owner has the right to discriminate in my opinion. Sorry.
Sorry my ass. That’s one, #ing stupid comment.
“Because of what you told me about the Iraq war… we are very adamant about our beliefs… it’s just not comfortable for us… and I’m sure now that you know this, it would not be comfortable for you,” Roberts said in a voicemail to Morgan.
“I would suggest you do the right thing and look for a place less politically active or controversial.”

Hear,hear!
You’re right.
You ARE sorry. }:-(
We will not win any war or any fight until we treat war as it should be treated. Basically it means kick some ass and if any country is helping our enemy we kick their ass and then we go home. War should never be an on going event it takes all our rights away including the soldiers.
I am sorry guys but you are mistaken here in my opinion.
We do not treat war as it should therefore all civil rights apply including property rights.
Because in war there are no civil rights and the soldier is respected and feared. The best part about war is it has an end.
