This is from Erica who went with the Veterans to the Police Dept:

Omg you guys.... what a sad night.... Vets were banned from the park for a week.... I went to the PD with them and then gave them a ride back to their vehicles after it was all said and done........ court is set for Jan 11th... I am so going to be there. Thanks for all of your support... Had I known this was only going to be a misdemeanor charge I would have gone down with them... I feel guilty for not joining but when push came to shove I got scared....... it was very intimidating... cops were staged and ready to go and that was not what I had envisioned at all... they threatened to arrest me and I said FREEDOM OF SPEECH is not just for them as I pointed to the hippies.... I guess I really lost it and went off... I barely remember.. I just know I saw those brave men get cuffed and then one of the fckin peaceniks said " happy veterans day" and I SCREAMED!@!!! many many obsenities..

I read your first ten words. Your wrong. Read the Constitution.

ArticleIII;Section3: Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and Comfort.

If you don't think planting "surrender flags" is an act that is clearly visible to our enemies and gives them "aid and comfort" then I think your patriotically handicapped.

I'm sure you want to quibble over the "nuance" of the Treason clause in the Constitution. I suggest that you test the nuance of the Constitution by attempting to place a white flag on the coffin of one of our war heros returning from Iraq as he or she deplanes at Andrews Airforce Base.

There will be some men and women in uniform there that can explain "nuance" to you a lot better than I.

You can call what these idiots that put up these white flags anythyou want and call their actions whatever you want. They are AIDING and ABBETING the enemy just like the media and all the ones that called our SOLDIERS, SAILORS, MARINES, AIRMEN, and COASTIES baby killers when they were in Viet Nam.

This is what America has come to....decorated war veterans being arrested, while traitors are allowed to vandalize a park and dishonor our war dead.

I weep for my country.

Sheesh; Deja Vu all over again, a'la VietNam.

These weasles lost one war for us, and can't wait to do it again. They won't be satisfied until they're getting rounded up and stuffed into the gas chambers or mowed down in pit graves along with the rest of us by the bloodthirsty jihaddists who our military is trying to protect us from.

The Waterville PD is, I suspect, getting their orders as to which side to take (and which side to arrest vs. which side to protect) on this issue, and I would not be surprised if it is the State Atty. General who is calling the shots on behalf of our Emperor Baldaccivich.

Keep pushing, Komrades, and somebody, somewhere, sooner or later, is apt to snap.

And it ain't gonna be pretty when they do.

What was it Martin Luther King did when the political deck was stacked against him and his people?

I think they called it "Civil disobedience"... remember?

Sometimes when the PEOPLE get pushed too far, they push back.

Just a thought.

There is a time and place for everything. Protests should not be done at Hospitals, Funerals and Veteran Memorial Parks. Is this any way to support our Veterans?

One pass with a bulldozer at 3 am is all it should take to clear the scenery.

The townspeople should come enmasse and rip those damn white flags out in a single swoop.

It would be like a Lexington and Concord moment.

Either your ignorance of the Constitution or your inability to understand plain English, or both, are showing.

Actually, NJ_gent's Constitutional rant was the more accurate screed. I prefer the term "sedition" to describe these worms, myself.

In the face of the protests, Bridges for Peace members are searching for common ground, and said this is an opportunity to open a dialogue in the community to discuss different viewpoints.

Bridges for Peace members, like every other leftist group I've seen, don't care one bit about "dialog." They want their viewpoint to be the only one.

Bridges for Peace spokesperson Bill Lord, who also served for one year in Vietnam, said that it is important that Americans not take for granted the number of Americans who are dying in Iraq.

Hey, Bill Lord! The only people taking them for granted is people like you, who use their names and photos as props to further your political agenda.

I hope a lot of people go out and clean up the park overnight.

White flags are for surrenderist fags and fairies and cowards and all the pukie little turds who make society unpleasant for the real people. Let their heads fall into their nether regions and break their friggin' necks.

Read post #42.

This is what happens when the majority of us sit on our duffs and "ignore" the sick little anti-America protesters, instead of getting out on the streets and calling them the liars that they are.

The more we ignore their protests, the more protests and "displays" they engage in. Permits are given, because not enough of us raise our voices and object to their hateful demonstrations. Until the "powers-that-be" hear from us, they will continue to allow these bastards to demean and mock our soldiers and veterans.

But you guys already know this, and counter the lefties whenever and wherever you can. I hope others wake up soon.

It's not going to stop until we make them stop.

No, it's not. It's too bad I live so far away. After reading comments all day saying that what we do at Walter Reed (countering the leftist a$$holes down here) isn't an effective use of our energies, I read this thread.

Until enough people tell these (expletives deleted) that their message belongs on the steps of government and not at our military hospitals, cemeteries and memorials - they will not stop.

I'm fuming right now.

"Outraged veterans are calling for the removal of 2,000 white flags that members of a local peace group planted to commemorate America's war dead in Iraq."

While state law prohibits me from promising you a big cash settlement, but, between you and me, I promise you a BIG cash settlement..
