Looks like some of the stuff my mom's hippie sister* used to paint when she hit the brown acid.

DALLAS -- A candlelight vigil took place Wednesday night to remember U.S. war dead in Iraq during the week of the 1,000th casualty. One North Texas family, whose relative -- Chad Drake -- was killed outside Baghdad Monday, was among the mourners at Dallas City Hall Plaza.
The vigil, though, turned abrasive toward the family members, according to a family friend. The friend sent an e-mail message to NBC 5 News that described the treatment some vigil attendees directed at the family.
Drake's mother was "harassed and yelled at, booed and hissed, told her son died for nothing," the message read.
Drake's mother reportedly left the event in tears.
The family attended the vigil because they thought it was meant to honor U.S. casualties. The event was organized by the Dallas Peace Center, which opposes the war.
The Drake family was upset about the antiwar tenor of the assembled crowd. The director of the Dallas Peace Center said the event was not intended to be an antiwar rally, but said e-mail notifications of the vigil were sent to a broad audience. Because the venue is a public place, he said, a variety of people with various views on the war in Iraq attended.
He also said the event was planned to include political overtones, but the Drake family should have been informed.
The center, however, did issue an apology to the Drake family.
"I want to be clear in issuing an apology to the mother of the recent victim of that war," Lon Burnam, of the Dallas Peace Center, said. "I can certainly understand why she would not feel comfortable in that particular venue with that particular group of people."
Peace Center officials said they believe the Drake family left before the scheduled events started, and the family might not have seen the planned ceremony.
Drake's sister told NBC 5 News that the family thought some of the crowd was hostile, so the family departed the vigil.
Back when the hippie potheads & LSD heads had nothing better to do than boola boola in the streets, I was the same age as most of them. I was too busy dressing as near like a human being as I could (nothing at the store but bell bottoms, though) and staying at home cooking and cleaning and taking care of my family. NOW, I'M NOT ALL THAT MUCH TOO BUSY TO TAKE UP FOR MY YOUNG FRIENDS WHO DIED IN VIETNAM while hippies "educated" themselves and cleaned their maggot infested selves up so they would be ready to ridicule "ignoramuses" like me today. Well, this ignoramus carried Sore/Loserman signs in 2000 and I've time to carry some Unfit for Command signs now. BE ADVISED, JOHN-JOHN.
The dirty rotten SOB's. I hope they rot in hell next to their terrorist friends.
Ugh. Did you click on their Palestinian Film Festival? Creepy!

Cold sick ba$tards. Looks like the "kerry principle" has already taken hold.....again.
This just makes me so furious I am going to log off & go read.
No. Just made a quick visit to the website, and real quick found out what the organization is all about.
Thought the calendar of events might be of interest. I wouldn't want an aplogy from anybody that supports what this group does.
Or Sheetmetal workers!
Well now, O'Neil certainly was speaking up. There was a lot more in motion and at play by the time VVAW launched. The "movement" was in full blast... the weatherman, the black panthers, PLO, the "new" democrats, etc. It was culture shock beyond imagination. There were three TV channels, and if I remember correctly, basically AM radio in most cities... no FM. This time the socialist liars will be met face to face.
They don't even try to pretend they're patriotic. Most of these organisations put up a front, and try to pretend they're patriotic Americans opposed to war. These jerks don't even put up a pretense. They go right into the Anti-American pro-terrorist propaganda. Blatant, in-your-face, anti-Americanism.
Thats just plain evil.
I see they are as dumb and nasty as they were in the sixties.
How horrible. If anyone's reading this, who's in the area where this happened and can reach this mom, PLEASE let her know how much MOST OF AMERICA supports her and her family.
Support the troops. Huh. These people are below evil.
John F. Kerry Juniors in action.
This is what Kerry wants. To divide the nation. He did it once. Don't let it happen again.
If anyone knows how to get a thread or letters to the family, we should send them our condolescences and let them know the country is behind our soldiers.
Disgusting liberals. These are Kerry supporters. Sick.
Vigil Turns Hostile Toward Family Of Killed Soldier
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
I'm tellin' ya'll. See the tag line.
This group is tied in with the group down in Crawford Tx that demostrats against the President at times....
"Yep - its starting. Its the same stuff they pulled in the late '60's, but this time around, there's enough of us willing to set them straight. If I witness this kind of attack, I'm going to get just a little nasty with the leftists. In my presence, this will not go unanswered."
And I will be there to back you up !!
