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.

Shes a useful idiot for the commies.
Someday her and her little band are going to have an unfortunate accident. And on that day I will laugh.
Sheehan’s dreadful.
Our kind of guy!
I’d love to smash all their faces, but sadly, we’d be the ones who would wind up in jail. My heart goes out to that vet & those soldiers who had to listen to them.
Just heartbreaking to watch. God bless our military.

Sheehan and her husband bought a house near Travis using her son's death benefits as a downpayment and to pay off prior tax liens. They have since divorced and the husband bought her out her interest in the home in late 2006.
If Casy had not been KIA she'd be working at McDonalds with creditors taking half her check.
"Anti-war" my *zz! These SOBs aren't anti-war. They're anti-American, anti-Capitalist. They are all in favor of violence and bloodshed when it comes to leftist uprisings and overthrows. Please stop passing this "aniti-war" BS along. It's bad enough that the useful idiot liberal media does it. We need to more forcibly expose these bastards for what they really are.

Code Pink's Jodie Evans embraces Jane Fonda

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
_________________________________________________
Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."
