IVAW in WI
TSO sent me a link from the Iraq Veterans Against the War website to a report from Wes Davey, the Herbert the Pervert of IVAW. Here’s the video;
And Davey’s report;
I was in Madison on Saturday when Iraq Veterans Against the War group was invited to speak. The crowd went crazy when we filed into the rotunda of the Wisconsin State Capital that evening, all of them cheering our small group on.
As we each took a brief turn speaking, the entire crowd roared its approval and the sound was deafening; you could’ve heard the noise miles away from the rotunda. Except for the RNC protests, I’ve never witnessed this kind of approval of our message before.
Driving home that night, I felt that the crowd response was a validation of all that we had been trying to do since IVAW was formed too many years ago, a repudiation of the past where we had been accused of being unpatriotic, and that people finally got our message. And it felt good.
It’s nice to see that IVAW can keep it’s focus on veteran issues and not get mixed up in something that has absolutely nothing to do with veterans. Oh, wait, I got that backwards.
Speaking of IVAW, Zedechek sends us a photo of Robynn Murray on the red carpet of the Oscars the other day;

At least that idiotic contrived piece of shit with Murray in it didn’t win an Oscar, or I’m sure IVAW et al would wave that around as though it somehow makes it all true.
Geeze, did you have to post that picture Robynn Murray? I was having my breakfast.
When fuck-sticks attack… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btuU_vlPaF8
Murray has some of the worst ink I’ve seen. Looks like shit.
But anonymous, she’s got pistols on her chest and broken rifles on her hands! She was a National Merit Scholar and a cheerleader, and she joined the army! She writes poetry! She has a framed copy of the Army magazine cover she “never wanted” to be on! She’s dark and brooding and complicated, see? She’s a filmmaker’s wet dream.
Jonn:
Do you really expect me to open and endure a video of 6 minutes and 59 seconds of Idiotic Vermin And Wangers as they lie, distort, and otherwise warp facts and truths. I have more important things to do, like pick my nose.
But I will click on your ads again.
Am I seeing things, or does she have something in her nose, too?
“The crowd went crazy when we filed into the rotunda”. Got news for ya, Wes, they were already there before you showed your head. Must be great to get “approval” from a bunch of paid “protesters”, and fat, smelly hippies.
Courage is so easy to come by when you’re not risking anything of value to you, now is it, Wesley?
And yeah, WTF is up with Robyn? I’ve seen prison tats that look better than the shit she’s got.
Horrible tattoos, a nose ring, those plugs in her ears. I’ve seen better work done by college art students in dorm rooms. I guess that it was all the horrors of Iraq that drove her to it. Any idea what is written on the barrels of those pistols?
Is she seeing anyone at present?
“Any idea what is written on the barrels of those pistols?”
On closer inspection, I believe it says “Mama’s girl.” Perhaps she is descended from highwaymen?
Hmmm, I guess there is such a thing as professional protesters and attention whores. That’s got to be the largest gathering of IVAW since the “winter soldier” hear-rings of hearsay. Perhaps even bigger than the table of 8 or so, but they had a bigger audience than the fawning press in Detroit.
I’ll bet Mattis is upset he couldn’t get that kind of attention or wake up from his hangover in time for it.
And since when is it legal to squat a government building, even if you call it a protest? You want to show us how hard you are? Get out in the parks and protest there. What does the Teamsters have to do with Teachers? Nothing. What does Unions have to do with Veterans? Nothing.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have been wondering if it’s SOP to look like you need a shave, haircut, and shower in order to be a member of IVAW? Is there a pamphlet on how you are supposed to look in order to present yourself as an anti-war type?
Old Trooper:
You get the pamphlet when you sign up with IVAW along with a one year supply of anti-crabs powder.
Never saw a photo fo Murray before she mutilated herself with all that shit. Must be an attention getter. She might have been attractive before she dumbassed herself up.
I know that deployment changes you and eventhough they take the extreame route I belive it sets the over all tone for the effects of war. “dont let anyone sell you that anywar nomatter how just is not a crime
