FAIRFIELD, Calif. (CBS13) ―
An unidentified military veteran was involved in a tense confrontation with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the group Code Pink at a rally at Travis Air Force Base on Saturday, November 28, 2009.

A Saturday rally led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan at Travis Air Force Base nearly ended in a brawl when a military veteran physically confronted the protesters.
Anti-war group Code Pink demonstrated at the military base Saturday morning in the first of six planned protests against unmanned military drones currently in use in overseas war zones.
Sheehan, a well-known anti-war activist whose son was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004, was leading the demonstration with a megaphone when a man dressed in a formal military uniform stepped up to her and berated her.
Videotape of the incident shows that Sheehan yelled "Get out of my face" through the megaphone at the man, who slapped the device away. Other protesters immediately joined Sheehan and traded insults with the man, and a shoving match broke out.
Military police quickly pulled the two sides apart.

The military veteran told reporters that he was upset with the anti-war protesters' effect on troop morale. "They ruin the troops. They get to the troops. They did the same thing in Vietnam," he said.
The man declined to give his name to reporters. "I don't want to be a personality over this, that's not my intention," he said.
Sheehan told reporters that she was disappointed her protest against what she called "morally reprehensible" military drones was interrupted by the man.
"We are here non-violently, and he came up and shoved the megaphone into my face," she said. "I'm never going to stop, no matter how we're oppressed."
Sheehan said she would be speaking to an attorney about legal action against the man.
Code Pink protester Xan Joy, who physically confronted the man during the incident, called the man a "bully" and said his behavior was meant to intimidate the protesters.
"He should be so happy and grateful that there are people in this country that are trying to protect him and his children and everybody's children from war," Joy said.
The events of the day did not end when the protesters packed up and left. When part of Code Pink's caravan paused in the middle of the road, Sheehan was given a ticket for impeding traffic.
"I got assaulted by this old man and I'm the one given a ticket. So, yeah, it's bulls***," Sheehan said.
Several members of Code Pink said they wanted charges filed against the man in uniform, but no arrests were made.

Sheehan and those libtard goons deserve anything literally thrown their way, imho.
Were unmanned drones a part of Travis .. or were they just guessing ..?? And .. if they knew this was one of the bases .. is that information available to the public. If not, how did they get that info. Very curious.
I would have shoved that bullhorn down her windpipe if it were.
When it said “graphic content” I was hoping to see the guacamole that passes for skull-mush splattering from that shrew...
No, beeyotch, you and your ilk are lucky there are people like that veteran who are willing to give their lives to protect military haters like you.
All I can say is way to go brother. No more “respect their right to protest” crap...time to get energized and confront these scum***..I hope I see more of this....
Never got to the “Graphic Content” ... Unless the GC was SHEHAG’s VOICE .. that alone is enough to drive me to Homicide!
where are the roving packs of rabid wild dogs when you need them?
God bless our Pararescuemen, active and retired.
A support the military bump..
Marked to forward..
“An unidentified military veteran was involved in a tense confrontation with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan “
I sure hope they at least maimed her....
What a b!tch!
God Bless our troops.
Watch Savage take off with this on Monday. Talk about getting right in the face of "the Enemy Within"!
Oh, they are all for "PEACE" allright. The Communist definition of "Peace". That is, when the opposition to all communism is wiped out. Here, one picture worth thousand words:
Good God!
Did that hippie scum call this decorated veteran a piece of crap!?
As far as lawyers go, she put the megaphone in his face and then spoke through it which is assault as far as I am concerned. She could have blown his ears out with her screeching, annoying voice.
This man deserves a medal for restraint.

I would’ve kicked Cindy in the face. pc off.
(Just a random quote. Not necessarily the same hero in today's video)
A friend shared this quote: "The long gray line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses, thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country." --General Douglass Macarthur
Oh, suuure. Just try to go to sleep. uh huh.
It tells the WHOLE story about whose side the cops were on. She hag got a ticket for “pausing” in the middle of the road. I hope it costs the b!tch a fortune.
Probably had to take a squat.
Good for our guys. Full uniform. This could get velly intelesting.
Does anyone anywhere... anymore really question that sheehan is being paid off by the communists to forment their communistic goals? sheehan is in collusion with the enemy, and she (it) knows that others now know!
I am biting my tongue...I think she’s a disgusting vile horrid woman...
God Bless our Troops!
I am not sure it was exactly the same spot, they have changed the base around some,but 41 years ago for me. Very hard video to watch.
I love that he called her BS line about “We support the troops too”
I hope her son is not watching from above, he deserves a better memorial than having a hippie-skank of a mother speak for him.
She could use a free face lift.
“He should be so happy and grateful that there are people in this country that are trying to protect him and his children and everybody’s children from war,” Joy said.
Joy, it’s service men and women that protect you from annihilation.
Why doesn’t Cindy go protest Obama? It’s his war now.
These are men of true character. They are the heroes of our country.
These men are much greater than me. I can only thank them and my Lord in Heaven for them. God Bless them and protect them, because without them, this world would be Hell.
It is a testament to the character of these men to stand there and tolerate with any degree of civility this obnoxious, toxic woman, Sheehan.
Ms. Sheehan, you are dishonoring what your son gave his life for. You are dishonoring your son. Stop it.
Excuse me, Cindy, who assaulted who????
Am just now watching the videos. He mentioned the Seals, God bless him.... He said what he needed to be said. Love Him!
I agree, but seem to remember that the GWB administration gave her a free place to live somewhere close to Fairfield, like Vallejo/Benicia? Anyone remember?
From what I remember, Jodi Evans didn’t get any charges for crashing the Republican convention?
My mother is one of these “code pink” nuts. Not a bad word to say about Obama even though he didn’t do what he promised to the left wing nuts.
Did you hear her talk about white man rage? What a nitwit.
I can think of bases where it would make a LOT more sense to protest UAV drones at, but I won’t post it here (or anywhere else).
UAVs seems like a weird thing to protest. It sure hurts the Afghanistan landscape when those things crash, I guess.

He mentioned the Seals, bless his heart! Love that guy!
By the way...I don’t know what she thought about her son joining the military, and I don’t care. I do know that he joined for a reason...and whatever that reason was, if not for him and his brother soldiers, she would not be standing there with a bullhorn in the Face of that Hero on tape.

That one code sicko knocked his hat off...!
Oh, and by the way,
THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..........FORRRRRRRRRRR.....YOURRRRRRRRRRR......SERVICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Yep. And she’s still at it because she is the ultimate cheap date. The DNC, back when Hillary was a player, was flying Cindy first class, putting her up in expensive hotels, and feeding her steak dinners. The Hillary gravy train dried up years ago, but staying at Comfort Inn and being fed McDonald’s and Arby’s still beats working for a living in Cindy’s book. It doesn’t mean a thing to her that her entire family has disowned her. That’s why she’s ON THE ROAD this time of year.
Didn’t our Dear Leader tell us if someone disagrees with us we need to “get in their face”?
God bless this old vet. My father told me of the same stories when he arrived back from the Nam. Getting spit on, bricks being thrown.
I think if you spit on a vet, they should bayonet your sorry carcass right there.
Cindy Sheehan talking about unmanned drones? She’s a no man’ed drone. That’s why she acts like this. I bet her son is real freaking proud of her assaulting old vets.
I think that she went nuts after her son was killed. I’d go nuts too. But the left used her, and her instability and grief, wrongly. Then they abandoned her.
One of the lefties in congress told them. either that or barry himself.
When the terrorists hit again, I’m gonna be looking for Joy and her megaphone to protect myself and my kids. /s
That 4th video was very telling. And how loud and clear the dichotomy is laid out.
Joy: “Bully”....”.....his BP is a zillion”.......”look how overweight he is”.........”look how out of shape he is.”
If these are the people who would protect us, then we would be worse off than what we are now. Good Lord.
Upthread someone mentioned Sheehan’s backing to possibly being communist, seems there is no doubt.
That Vet is a hero.
yep. he’s walked the walk.
Notice Cindy Sheehan's 'strategist' Lisa Fithian is a member of the Washington Peace Center :
Lisa Fithian is an American political activist and anarchist. She began her work in the mid-1970’s as a member of student government in her high school and at Skidmore College.
As a member and coordinator of the Washington Peace Center for 7 years during the 1980’s, Fithian organized hundreds of events and demonstrations on a range of issues, both locally and nationally, and helped lead an extensive anti-racism process that transformed the Peace Center into a multicultural organization.
In the early 1990s Lisa joined the labor movement, bringing her experience to the Justice for Janitors campaigns in Washington DC, Denver and Los Angeles and to nursing home workers in San Francisco and Detroit.
She also provided training and support work to the United Auto Workers Union and with the Detroit Newspaper Strikers. Lisa has continued her work for social, economic and environmental justice, providing training and organizing support to many of the global justice mobilization around the world since the shut down of the WTO Ministerial in Seattle in 1999.
After Hurrican Katrina, Lisa has worked with the Common Ground Collective in New Orleans [ACORN-RELATED, PERHAPS?], organizing relief efforts.
Currently, Lisa serves as a National Steering Committee member of United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of over 1000 local and national groups working to end the war in Iraq and build a broad movement for social change.
