Manning protest at Quantico

| March 21, 2011

I don’t know how they did it, but CNN was able to video the protest at Quantico without any shots of Ann Wright (I wonder how many videographers were hospitalized keeping her nasty face out of camera range), but she did get her dusty old ass arrested.

I noticed that Jimbo did get a picture of the old hag with Tighe Berry and Medea Benjamin. I see Tighe is still looking for his gonads.

CNN, locked in the 70s, thinks that interviewing Daniel Ellsberg is some kind of coup, I suppose. The anti-war crowd exhumed his rotting corpse to remind us of the Pentagon Papers.

Reports that Manning has been held in near-total isolation and forced to sleep without clothing during his nearly eight-month detention has sparked outrage from human rights and peace activists. The controversy even played a hand in the resignation of now-former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, who reportedly suggested that the Defense Department is mistreating Manning.

Ellsberg said that Crowley “acted honorably and boldly” for uttering the remarks that got the former Defense Department spokesman fired. Crowley called the treatment of Manning at the hands of the military “ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid.”

Of course Zombie Ellsburg thinks Manning is honorable, otherwise his own reputation might suffer. It’s kind of like Mao applauding Kim Jong Il as a great humanitarian.

You know I never did get the logic about who liberals call heroes. Murderers like sacko and Vanzetti, traitors like the Rosenburgs. Showing the world that Johnson screwed the pooch in ‘Nam should be a no brainer. The “Pentagon Papers” only confirmed the obvious, that Johnson had no intention of winning, only not losing.

Let’s be very clear. PFC manning went LOOKING for a scandal, actually rejecting the one incident he knew about, and rejecting at least one other before he found the 12 Jul 07 footage. Even that was not as bad as everyone thinks. He went looking for a way to embarrass the Army because he blamed the Army for his fairy boyfriend leaving him. What he did is on par with sleeping with someone to make an ex jealous with consequences far more horrific. Intended or not he may well have gotten people killed, and the fear of using air power in the ‘Stan most likely HAS killed troops . So please spare me the beatification

CNN doesn’t tell you about the numbers that were arrested, including Ellsberg which was his second time this weekend, who was tie strapped. Read all about it at:

That’s nice that these people keep getting arrests. Do they ever get any jail time?

HA the ones who got arrested probably want a refund on their bus ticket to get down to Quantico.

Nah, most of them just get a token fine of a couple hundred bucks and time served. The taxpayer is paying more in OT for the cops than they get in penalties.

Ms. Wright is likely drawing a monthly retirement check from the Army Reserve, as well as retirement from civil service. Your tax dollars at work.

That bitch Ann Wright needs to shut her mouth, and get back in her friggin’ kitchen where she belongs. I have to admit seeing the cops stomp the shit out of that fossil looking bitch was amazing! That wasn’t police brutality that was the officers checking to see how close to being extinct her old, crusty ass is.
