Code Pink defaces Berkeley military recruitment office; Update: Attacks will continue, support needed
Update: I noted below that it would be nice if folks could show up and show some support for the targeted recruitment office. Reader Sandy e-mails:
I called the USMC Officer Recruiting Office at Berkeley and expressed my support to one of the recruiters. H asked how I knew about the situation, and I told him your blog was my source. He said the Pinkos vowed they would be back on the weekends and during the week, every week, until the office is shut down. They went to the landlord of the building and have been harassing him, and he may complain to the city/mayor about it, as other building tenants do not appreciate their antics since it interferes with their businesses. The recruiter hoped that more support would come in and that the word would be spread. He said earlier this week, some Gold Star and Blue Star family members came to the office to show support. One of the family members was a father whose Marine son had died in Fallujah. A man with the Pinkos said to him, “How does it feel to have your son die for oil?” Tensions, of course, were very high and there was almost a fight. I know that I could not hold my temper (and tongue) as these Marines are doing. I despise what these harridans are doing. Question their patriotism? There’s no question about their patriotism.

Your daily dose of Bay Area troop hatred is brought to you this morning by Code Pink in Berkeley (via CBS 5; hat tip: Jim Hoft):
The least they could do is spellcheck their slander.
***
Like the MoveOn.org Democrats, the Code Pinkos are doing all they can to squelch free speech. Via STACLU from the Berkeley Planet:
“If there are to be no wars, there can be no warriors,” said Dianne Budd, one of the organizers.
“We found out a few days ago and decided to make their lives miserable,” she said, pinning up “RECRUITERS LIE, CHILDREN DIE” posters on the office windows. “We want people to know that it’s here and we want to shut them down. If people had been in there we were ready to hand out information about GI rights. We just want to speak the truth.”
They can’t handle the truth.
The brave recruiter, Capt. Richard Lund, who has to put up with this unhinged abuse, wrote an open letter to Berkeley:
While the protest that you staged in front of my office on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, was an exercise of your constitutional rights, the messages that you left behind were insulting, untrue, and ultimately misdirected. Additionally, from the comments quoted in the Berkeley Daily Planet article, it is clear that you have no idea what it is that I do here. Given that I was unaware of your planned protest, I was unable to contest your claims in person, so I will therefore address them here.
First, a little bit about who I am: I am a Marine captain with over eight years of service as a commissioned officer. I flew transport helicopters for most of my time in the Marine Corps before requesting orders to come here. Currently, I am the officer selection officer for the northern Bay Area. My job is to recruit, interview, screen, and evaluate college students and college graduates that show an interest in becoming officers in the Marine Corps. Once they’ve committed to pursuing this program, I help them apply, and if selected, I help them prepare for the rigors of Officer Candidate School and for the challenges of life as a Marine officer. To be eligible for my programs, you have to be either a full-time college student or a college graduate. I don’t pull anyone out of school, and high school students are not eligible.
I moved my office to Berkeley in December of last year. Previously, it was located in an old federal building in Alameda. That building was due to be torn down and I had to find a new location. I choose our new site because of its proximity to UC Berkeley and to the BART station. Most of the candidates in my program either go to Cal or to one of the schools in San Francisco, the East Bay, or the North Bay. Logistically, the Shattuck Square location was the most convenient for them.
Next, you claim that I lie. I have never, and will never, lie to any individual that shows an interest in my programs. I am upfront with everything that is involved at every step of the way and I go out of my way to ensure that they know what to expect when they apply. I tell them that this is not an easy path. I tell them that leading Marines requires a great deal of self-sacrifice. I tell them that, should they succeed in their quest to become a Marine officer, they will almost certainly go to Iraq. In the future, if you plan to attack my integrity, please have the courtesy to explain to me specifically the instances in which you think that I lied.
Next, scrawled across the doorway to my office, you wrote, “Recruiters are Traitors.” Please explain this one. How exactly am I a traitor? Was I a traitor when I joined the Marine Corps all those years ago? Is every Marine, therefore, a traitor? Was I a traitor during my two stints in Iraq? Was I a traitor when I was delivering humanitarian aid to the victims of the tsunami in Sumatra? Or do you only consider me a traitor while I am on this job? The fact is, recruitment is and always has been a part of maintaining any military organization. In fact, recruitment is a necessity of any large organization. Large corporations have employees that recruit full-time. Even you, I’m sure, must expend some effort to recruit for Code Pink. So what, exactly, is it that makes me a traitor?
The fact is this: any independent nation must maintain a military (or be allied with those who do) to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. Regardless of what your opinions are of the current administration or the current conflict in Iraq, the U.S. military will be needed again in the future. If your counter-recruitment efforts are ultimately successful, who will defend us if we are directly attacked again as we were at Pearl Harbor? Who would respond if a future terrorist attack targets the Golden Gate Bridge, the BART system, or the UC Berkeley clock tower? And, to address the most hypocritical stance that your organization takes on its website, where would the peace keeping force come from that you advocate sending to Darfur?
It would be nice if folks in the Bay Area could show up and counter-protest the Code Pinkos and show Capt. Lund some support. As they say: Eagles Up!

Do people realize that most Marines join this branch with the express knowledge that death is a HUGE option? I really think they are degrading these brave men and women who are joining up. These so called “enlighted” Califormians think they know what is good for everyone. BTW: My brother is preparing for his 5th (6th?) tour to Iraq. He’s been doing this for over 20 years. He believes in what he is doing. Thank God he is, so we will never have to rely on any of these whackos to protect us. Forgive the rant….I am a newbie : )
Bear:
That actually sounds pretty tasty - have to give it a try - ( I’ve got a little fat that needs burning )…..
Uberinfidel:
Welcome - and God Bless your brother - Semper Fi - and you and your family.
Oh - and Uber…that’s not a rant…
Wait til Bear REALLY goes off on something or someone -
I do not question their patriotism in any way shape or form.
It is totally impossible to question something…a belief or otherwise…that does not exist.
They have not patriotic beliefs, and never have. Their misguided attempt at trying to bully people into believing that they are patriotic, and threatening anyone who doubts it only works because people are too afraid to come out and say it. they have buffaloed everyone with this “Political Correct” nonsense for so long that people are actually afraid something will happen to them if they just come right out and tell them that their actions and statements have absolutely NOTHING to do with being a patriot, and are actually seditious and treasonous in nature and definition of the word.
I have never and will never agree that telling lies about your country, burning your country’s flag, spitting on and telling lies about and harrassing etc. the members of the military and telling lies about and demeaning the President of the US is in any way, shape or form Patiotic.
There is a wide chasm between what they are doing and “dissent”. Questioning is one thing. Actively working for the downfall of your country and the defeat of the military and country to an enemy in a time of war…or anytime actually…is treasonous, traitorous and seditious, and it is time we as a party and as Conservatives and as a nation, stop this non-sense of molly-coddling these low-lifes and confront them on what they do.
If the Republicans have any hope of winning the election, that is exactly what they need to do. the country is starved for the people running for President to do just that. To do otherwise and to continue to make excuses for the Left is doing a great disservice.
Sorry, went on a rant there. I’ll try to do better.
jrl-Sorry ,won’t work–they would enjoy it too much.
RetFireman - Now THAT’s the way to rant….
( See Uber - you had nothing to apologize about…. )
Anyone seen Rick Moran today? I need to give someone some crap about the upcoming Bear / Packer game lol.
LOL jr….and thank you from my brother and all he serves with ; ) I was being kind of mellow there. My rants on my blog are VERY different than on here. lol I’m curious though….how many of these losers would do this to the recruiters office if there were a brigade of Marines standing out front :p OOH-RAH
For the life of me, I cannot understand why these recruiting offices can’t assign an armed guard, at least during the overnight hours. If not armed with an actual loaded weapon, at least a loaded video camera!
Unless Im mistaken, 107 posts and not a peep from LGM or Rusty.
As Arsenio gestured by the rubbing chin, “Things that make you go hmmmmm…”
Where are all those patriotic lefties who think that expressing ideas and supporting American ideals is “real patriotism?”
Not one liberal that I know of has ever come to the defense of military recruiters when this kind of thing happens. In fact, they question that patriotism of these recruiters by accusing them as Code Pink does, of tricking people into joining the military rather than the recruiters doing what they do out of love of country.
Time to question their sanity as well as their loyalty.
Remember Bunkies, Berkeley is a city where, after 9-11, when all Fire Departments were going nuts trying to get flags to put on all our rigs, they were told to remove all the American flags off of their apparatus because it was seen as a provocation and the City did not want to insult or provoke any Muslims with delecate sensibilities.
Not kidding, they had to and that was the reason why. 343 of their brothers were slaughtered and they were forbidden by the Berkeley Politburo to show their colors and support.
UberInfidel67- I am indebted to your brother for his service to this Great Nation. Welcome!
An article in one of the local weekly porno rags here (SFGATE)said there is a protest scheduled each wednesday from now til the office is closed. That’s the day that the Grannies for Peace (or whatever they are calling themselves) and Code Blink are planning to “tell the truth”.
I am planning to be there with my own signs. For the 4 hours that i am there I will be maintaining a self-imposed gag order, complete with duct tape.
My sign will be two-sided: one side with the “I will not submit” message- the other “The Left- Part of the Axis of Evil.”
I will have other placards to hold up that will speak for me. I will not engage these punks verbally.
We’ll see what happens.
Side note: If you haven’t read Norman Podhoretz’ World War 4 yet, then you must do so soon. It is a perfect compliment to Steyn’s “America Alone” as far as cutting underneath all the media Psy-ops about the war.
Next on my list is Ledeen’s “The Iranian Time Bomb”, Peters’ “Wars of Blood and Faith”, and Babbin’s “In the Words of our Enemies”.
Arming myself with perspectives that give me stealth information to use against the Left and their quisling Liberal Moon Loons in Congress.
The media psy-ops are deafening the American people against our own interests of peace and security. WW4 by Podhoretz is the clearest articulation of the strength of the Bush Doctrine- and what a major point of departure from the docile path of every president re Arabs since Harry Truman.
Biggest insight- the brilliance of Arab propagandists which turned Israel from the David that won the 6 day war into a Goliath that is “bullying” so-called Palestinians. And the American Left- especially the Left here in Berkeley and other college towns- have SWALLOWED hook line and sinker.
I highly recommend this read. We need to pressure Congress with deeply articulate reasons for staying at this Long War. Period. Slogans and gotcha politics is something we on the Right must avoid at all costs, because it is a fools game.
Let’s work Congress over with the real deal. They cannot deflect it or sound bite it away. And our Presidential Candidates need to be saturated with our deeper perspectives so their campaigns can get out of the ruts they are in about the war.
Break the Left’s hold on the media with questions they have not answers for.
Podhoretz has inspired me to take this campaign to Lee, Boxer, and Feinstein.
And the Berkeley Daily Planet is about to get a history lesson. Stay tuned.
More mush please.
JRL, Freebie, and Augustine…
Well, it would depend on the sampling size (size of the crowd), but I’m confident there would be one or two…
And Patton, Blackhawk Down, Tears of the Sun, and We Were Soldiers would all be heavily played in my home.
And worse comes to worse, I could just crawl back defeated and hang out with freebie…
But can we make the beer something… I dunno… Good? Sam Adams, maybe?
Testing Testing 1-2-3 Last message dint show…..
Friday Greetings Mrs. Malkin and loyal community. Aching regret to bear with the constant drumbeat of misdeeds in the San Francisco Bay area. At one time the city itself had a special magic of none other in the USA, where one might indeed have left his heart. As it is now, I can only think of today’s San Francisco in the same vein as antebellum Charleston, South Carolina. As in the Bay area today, Charleston in the decades just before the U.S. Civil War was a hothouse of virulently antinational tendencies. A young Army Lieutenant, William Tecumseh Sherman, while doing a tour of duty in the city took his measure of the opinion leaders there, and would apply it later with historic effect. If in 1864 Atlanta would regret his attention, in early 1865 Sherman’s troops laid it on more severely at Charleston and Columbia (a refuge for Charlestonians), due to the well-deserved reputation of the people there as noted above. The U.S. Civil War began with the flagrant disrespect of the Charleston populace for the Federal property of Fort Sumter.
If the shelling of Fort Sumter begat a great tragedy, should the vandalism of the recruiting station be seen as farce?
OT:Can anybody in their right mind root against Brett Favre this year?
I’m just glad i love the game so much i can watch da Bears play the Pack and not shed a tear for the loser of that matchup. It’s a classic match up with Madden commentating.
Back On Topic: I would really like to hear from peeps who are from the Bay Area that might be interested in being at the recruiting office in Berkeley on the Wednesday after next. I am going to be sequestered in the Sierra foothills on the Kings River with no contact with the outside world from 10.13 to 10.20.
Any ideas on how to get connected?
See that recipe,I told you the bear mush could run the power wagon….
Agreed 100% Rick.
By the way - are you going to be around Monday - or sulking for 24 hours after the Bear’s loss?
Alright Rick, I’ll bite. I am a liberal, oppose the war and think that the protests over at the recruitment office are stupid and misdirected.
There have been in the past, isolated reported instances of inappropriate recruiting techniques, sure. But I don’t recall it being widespread enough to warrant smearing this Marine or any recruiter, for that matter, absent specific proof. I like that we have an all-volunteer army and I like that it provides a good opportunity for millions of Americans to serve their country and better themselves and their families, as it has for my brother-in-law, sister and nieces.
For the record I also find the Bay Area’s behavior toward the military in general lately baffling. I thought gays LIKED men in uniform.
Smoke Signals.
Changjin89-
I just got the chills from what you wrote. For some reason, all of this buildup seems familiar to me.
So many parallels. So much derision manifesting as divisiveness. Thanks for your perspective.
***
Anyone who has visited any of the battlefields out east might have had a sense of the vague familiarity or vibe all of this has. It’s there at Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Chancellorsville, Antietam, Manassas, Spotsylvania….
A great killing field seems imminent to me.
Had a dream last nite. (Bear with me now.)
I was standing in a clearing of rolling green grass, a commons shared by six dwellings with their backdoor and decks facing the commons.
A small black bear was laying down next to one of the decks. I approached carefully. The bear was sleeping. As I stood and watched the careful breathing along its belly and ribs, a man came loudly out of the sliding door above the sleeping bear. “Hi There! Looks like we found ourselves a bear!” I was at a loss for words. He not only stunned me with his loud voice. He seemed sarcastically arrogant.
“Well, let me show you what we do with bears around here.” And with that he picked up the bear and raised it by the pit of its arms. Then he forcefully pushed the bear’s back into a long thick spike extending from the ground floor wall of the building. The bear opened its eyes for a moment in alarm, and then went limp.
The man picked up a short pry bar and inserted it cross wise, gruffly, in the bears gaping mouth. With a jerk he forced the bear’s two top incisors out. But as they hit the ground, i was shocked to see they were deeply rooted- the base of each tooth looked round like a stalk of sugar cane, but hard like elephant tusk.
The man picked them up and tossed them over to me but they sailed high above me, landing about 10 yards away. “There! I guess you’ll have to figure out how to get em now.” And he nodded up to a rise. I turned and saw two giant bears.
The small bear’s teeth were between me and the bears on the rise. They had blood on them. The bears were watching me. I sidestepped out of the line of sight. Slowly. Not wanting to attract their attention. I knew they could smell the blood. I knew it was their offspring.
The bears began to gallop like horses, not like bears. They were running toward the teeth. I was about 10 yards to the side. When they reached the teeth, one snorted and snuffled, the other stood on its hind legs and roared.
They took off running toward the Man at the house. I watched as they tore him apart. They ate him. The small bear was gone. The bears turned into men. The men walked to the side of the house and removed a blue tarp from a large stack of lumber. I watched them as they built a house.
**
I woke up on my elbows in my bed, my pillow folded end to end into a cylinder, upright in my grip. My forehead was pressed into it.
There are so many signs.
Bear - you are the philosophical Shaman of the message boards….
Either that, or you got some wild mushrooms growing in your backyard…
swj719AWG, Can we add The Green Berets to your list?
I like the George Beckworth character as he transitions from elitish reporter to at the end embarking on a second tour.
Who poked the bear?
There is just one thing about a possible “Second Civil War”
We have them out gunned. Hard to fight an enemy with hugs and slogans.
Somehow I still botched the link…

jrlingreenbay-
perhaps. back in the day, while touring the South playing rugby for a well known Catholic university, we went through Gainesville, Florida. Them peeps kept horses in the back acres of their lots. The poop was spread out in sunny spots and watered. Semi-wild mushrooms grew from that cultivation effort.
“…..wake up maggie i got somethin to say to you…it’s late september and i really should be back at schooool!!!!!”
that was over 30 years ago….alot has changed and much has stayed the same.
my tour of Florida was right before Carter got elected…. the reverberation from the Islamic terrorists killing Israeli athletes at the Olympics….who knew that the Iranian takeover of our embassy was imminent.
onward with our eyes open, no?
’sup aj! how them halos be doin?
ot-
bearrrrrr, find out tonight if were 1-1 or 0-2 Go Angels!!!!
RetFireman-
First, you are my god*am hero. I finished my CERT training here in Berkeley with the first responders leadership. Bear salute to you, Brother. Most of us have NO idea what you’ve been through. But, FWIW, I thank you.
Second, you’re right. Can’t really have a shootout with the HR PufNStuff crowd that has never so much as fired a BB gun.
Yet, their role is lethal. Until we can get them out of our way, the Muslim Islamofascists will maneuver behind them.
We must prevail or many of us will perish due to their childish political perspective about war, liberty, humanity, and peace.
Again- thank you.
Yes it did:
And while I have the opportunity, I must commend you once again on your exceptional writing talent. As a freelance writer, I have been published a few times, and as the daughter and granddaughter of outstanding multi-award-winning editorial cartoonists, I know from whence I speak.
If you will email me I can give you some very good pointers for getting published.
#122 bear1909
Ditto my last post (#132)
swj719AWG - you are more than welcome to hang out - but you must stop calling me FREEbie. It;s FEEbie,
Freebie has really bad implications….especially if I was sitting on a lawn chair on a corner no doubt. LOL
PS. Bear, thanks for the receipe.
bear1909 blushes big time.
email? how?
…. handing out beers… didn’t I see that on an episode of ‘COPS’ ?
Feebie, if you make the mush make sure you’re shoelaces are tied tightly before you drink it.
OT: 8)Feebie- you got it. My “apple of the earth” power porridge recipe is killer too…..
Back on Topic: The Moon Loons here in town don’t seem to be having any traction at the University of California. This is key. The message they are sending out seems to be stuck in the Boomer era age group, with the exception of the college aged Gore crowd.
We’ll see next wednesday what kind of traction Blink and Grannies are getting
#136 bear1909
My email:
[mynic]42 “at” comcast “dot” net
From what I understand - the protest on the 3rd didn’t have many supporters there….
Isn’t it interesting that the “enlightened progressives” are acting like barbaians and the warrior is behaving like a civilized adult?
OT-
aj- have you been consuming bearmush on a trial and error basis without tellin ol Bear???
Back on topic-
The President of the United States (at his best in 2002)
““I’ve said in the past that nations are either with us or against us in the war on terror. To be counted on the side of peace, nations must act. Every leader actually committed to peace will end incitement to violence in official media and publicly denounce homicide bombs. Every nation actually committed to peace must stop the flow of money, equipment and recruits to terrorist groups seeking the destruction of Israel, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. Every nation committed to peace must block the shipment of Iranian supplies to these groups and oppose regimes that promote terror, like Iraq. And Syria must choose the right side in the war on terror by closing terrorist camps and expelling terrorist organizations.”
Now how does Code Blink and Grannies for Peace, respond to that? By saying that these enemies of ours should be allowed to recruit on our main streets.
How much dope does one have to smoke to reach that level of neurosis?
I’m sure House Dems will call for an immediate censure of Code Pink for slandering our troops.
Closely followed by monkeys flying out of my butt.
#144 - bear, you remember Zell Miller’s speach at the RNC in 2004?
OT: Blue Angels are practicing…can you hear/see over on your neck of the woods?
29Victor-
America is an enlightened nation in at least one sense- a volunteer military with a core of “warrior class” men and women at its center. The Rangers, SEALS, combat fighter pilots, logisticians, etc. that I have had the good fortune to meet or get to know over the last 30 years of public life have always been the best of us in all of us. It’s uncanny.
My two sons are warriors. Their training saved them from the uselessness that infects many of the lives of our young boys in this country at an early age.
Here in Berkeley, it appears that it is against the religion of secular, “earth religion”, lefties to allow a young boy to eat protein and build muscle. Everything is about eating pasta and bread and carbohydrates- so their blood sugar is out of control and then they need to be medicated so they can sit in a chair at school.
We are losing our young boys to this Left Loon mantra of raising boys like girls under the aegis of “equality” and “anti-sexism”.
It is a shame.
A warrior is always civil, in control of him/herself, and completely capable of comprehending the position of adversaries, enemies, and foes as well as their own- if not better. The Left is vulnerable in this way because they are way out of touch with how the world turns.
Nice point, PeterX -
Where is the congressional outrage at US Citizens infringing on the honor and integrity of Marine Officers simply trying to recruit the finest talent our institutions of learning have to provide?
Where is the call for censure or even the vocal disapproval by our fine Madame Speaker ( who represents this part of our country ) to all this military-bashing on her home turf?
READ MORE
That about says it for me.
aj … OT .. better get them halos in gear …
As for the recruiting office …
(1) I suggest that we set up plenty of cameras to capture the events when closed … as these pukes don’t have the guts to come around when the Marines are there … despite their “claims” otherwise …
(2) A few well placed booby traps like the ones the banks put in with the money in a bank robbery carefully placed so that only if someone was trying to break in can they go off … should make the perps easier to spot afterwards …
(3) Arrest and prosecute the ones we catch for vandalism and trespassing at the local level … then take them to federal court for charges such as damaging US Government property and federal trespassing … and any other charges they can come up with and make stick …
(4) Put them in a federal detention center or a military prison to serve their sentences …
Should at least get their attention …
Semper Fi
Feebie—- I can see em. They do this maneuver where they drop down to about 150 feet and fly right under the GG bridge….as they pull up and out they have to fly over our home in the hills….interesting in that it is the same flight path as the yellow and red tail hawks flying from their Raptor refuge on the Marin headlands, over Angel Island and then out to the Amador Valley where they nest…..it’s big time fighting season for them with the ravens over nesting rights….the symbolic nature of the BA’s maneuvers are not lost on me.
Do you have link or something to guide me to that speech that Miller gave?
Thanks Feebz
A round of applause for Bear…
You are so correct in this.
These moonbats have no idea what a true ‘Warrior’ is. All they envision is their pathetic daydreams of wanton murder and blood-thirsty organized killing-machines.
True Warriors, like so many of our Military, are controlled, educated and honorable. They seek only to serve each day, asking for no greater compensation than to be able to serve tomorrow.
You can tell a true Warrior by his eyes. They are not wild - they are deep and thoughtful. But they are not the eyes you want to see when you are their enemy.
Feebie- speak of the devil! Thanks! Great stuff.
DL-#150: I am taking my camera to the corner of University and Shattuck on Wednesday. Lots of photos to be taken.
Cameras make them nervous.
thanks bear … will look forward to you sharing those pics …
I travel to the east bay periodically on business … I can assure you that from here on in every trip will include a stop by to support these Marine recruiters …
Why? Not like they still have souls???
jrlingreenbay-
affirmative. No recognition or understanding of warriorhood. And the pathetic behaviors that the Moon Loons call “warrior”- it’s nauseating.
In Berkeley, the Moon Loons are prone to crying and raging emotionalism when speaking out in public at meetings.
Their “activism” is an addiction behavior they use to deal with a lot of unresolved “issues” they have.
I don’t say this in judgement of them. I have unresolved issues too. But I don’t drag them into the public the way i see and hear them do it here.
It is their political currency in this community. “How Berkeley Can You Be?” is a parade that they held for themselves last week. One dude showed up in a costume that was one of those prescription med bottles. It was telling.
I think they should rename their pity party as “How Much Do I Suffer Under A Free Capitalist Regime”?
What is spooky to me about this “identifying with the downtrodden” chic out here is the way that non-Arab women are making their political fashion statement with some of those “Palestinian” speckled bandannas the terrorists wear.
So downtrodden with their rent-controlled gentrified apartment and trust fund supported, non-profit career path doing good work.
But all the while, at a moment’s notice, be able to turn on the teardrops over being abused as a child, or this or whatever they use to “identify with the oppressed.” It is a cottage industry here in BerserkoLoand….and it is exported all around the country.
Ick.
Ghoulishness runs riot here in B-town.
DL- you rock. It would be great to meet up some time when your travels bring you through Sin City.
sounds good from this end as well bear … nothing on the calendar at the moment however … all my travel right now is going the other direction …
lol Feebie. Sorry for the added “r”. I wouldn’t dream of suggesting such a thing. And nice “soul” dig…
Honestly, I would love it if these loons tried this crap here in Illinois.
I dare them to try it in Peoria. I freaking dare them.
Ok - after seeing some comments over my time here about people wanting to contact each other ( but afraid of leaving there e-mail addresses out for all to see ) and other reasons - I have taken a step towards a solution.
I’ve created a yahoo group for any regular contributors to share information / pictures / stories etc…
It is members only - you must be approved to join - so when requesting admittance, let me know who you are ( screen name or whatever )
I’ll try and keep the trolls out or at the very least, remove them when found to be ‘inside the wire’.
We’ll try it for a while and see if it works.
If interested - you’ll find it at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FriendsofMichelleMalkin/
I’ll try and check there a few times a day at first, to get any regular posters admitted and get things up and running.
I know that Michelle can’t post all the pics and stuff we’d like to send her - so maybe this is another outlet for us to share…
Anyone know how to go about getting pics from the upcoming protest to MM and other interested blogsites?
It occurs to me that there may be a way to blog from there. Will check out the wireless sitch.
#161 - great idea.
LOL- this is getting deep! jrlingreenbay! no sooner had i posted my inquiry and you posted about the yahoogroups!
coolio!
It’s been on my mind since last week - from someone’s post about something-or-another…
I thought I’d give it a shot and see how it works…
I figured it would be a good way to get some info to each other we wouldn’t normally want posted here, or wouldn’t want to take space up here with…
Also a good way to get some of those “Bear-recipes” distributed LOL
bear … I have wondered the same thing when I see the posts of the photoshops and such … perhaps some of those that have uploaded those pics to MM would let us know? … I know she has an email addy at gmail on the contact page … is that the way to get pics to her?
DL :
I would think that if you have pics / videos to send to Michelle, you could probably do it through her Gmail addy…
Otherwise, if unsure, you could email her there and ask.
I’ve sent Michelle a pic she posted through her gmail addy, if that helps.
jrl … I figured that as well … but had not seen anything “official” … lol … good idea about the yahoo group … hope MM will join in with us as well …
I don’t have anything specific to send her right now … but there have been times I thought about it … lol …
feebiebabe
thanks for the info …
Cool as well! Can’t wait to upload pics from BerserkoVille.
Nice point, PeterX -
Thanks! Posted the same thing over at Wizbang, too. I like to plagiarize myself.
NOT THE CAMPANILE!!!
Woe!
Heck, that would upset me, and I don’t even belong to code pink
Bob’s Kid …
I suspect they would have to count on all the attendees at the Folsom Street Fair …
re: #162 bear1909
Email her at her “CONTACT” link. She does read her email!
Someone’s going to get hurt if this continues.
Leepro! thanks. I’ve written quite a few times and know there is not time to reply to everybody. I’ll be sure to send the pics and write up directly about Wednesday.

#173- Bob’s Kid: I am a more than a little nervous that the Jihadis would hit the University’s mini-nuke plant on campus. There are also some old research facilities that are radioactive from the 40s and 50s which if exploded would release alot of radiation into the atmosphere.
The Moon Loons don’t believe it can happen to “our” city. UC is a high value target and very vulnerable. Plus, they too have a very active “Palestinian” enclave on campus calling for Jihad.
Oh, but hey! They have a “right” to that.
The Moon Loons, for all of their degrees and education and intellectualism, are some of the most manipulated minds on the planet.
I guess the sex across enemy lines is just so good. Or the hash just too good to pass up. You can see it walkin the streets around here.
ick.
LOL. Your like the cool kid at school! “I am so popular, everyone loves me so much at this school”!
Looking forward to seeing some of the pics. I think I’ll try to stop by the recruiters office sometime during the weekend or send them a nice note of support!
This situation cries out for some serious vigilante justice. When the perpetrators of crimes against our military openly admit their deeds and openly promise to keep doing it, all apparently with not a single peep from the local police, it’s time for decent citizens to come to the defense of our military. I’m not advocating criminal acts, but there are a number of things Bay Area people could do.
- Organize counter protests.
- Get volunteers to take shifts with cameras at the recruiting center.
- Protest at Code Pink facilities and DON’T be polite. Make noise. Let them get a taste of some blowback.
Those of us who love this country and who admire and respect our military MUST show that we are as willing to fight for THEM as they are for us. Do it.
Just came back from taking the wife shopping in Boise today. Plus I really needed a little break from work. Right now I am almost beyond any logical thought my blood pressure is through the roof. It is time to punish these immature bitches from the 1960s! Destruction and defacement of Government property is a Federal crime. The FBI needs to round them up now, before someone has to physically defend themselves against the attacks of these unhinged traitors and put them down hard. I am livid! This is almost to the last freaking straw!
They should keep stacks of the Captain’s letter in every military office just to hand out at these protest. Just hand them out and smile. Might just have an impact on the brighter of the mob
To feebiebabe, #80….
Rest assured I will be wearing protective gear, including a gas mask. I want to maximize the entertainment value for you…or, is that the “shock” value….lol!!
Zzzzzzzzzzttt….!!!!!!
Can you say R.I.C.O. Act?
#161 jrl. Thanks. bro! been there and signed up.
San Fran for a bombing range…
HHmm…that has posibilities ranging from droping ordinance to practace controlled detonation, carrier take offs with a full rack of “toys” that go boom from several thousand feet and of course with Vieques closed (My heartfelt thanks comrade clinton and kennedy)-
The military really does need a new bombing range….I know the perfect US Navy F/A 18 Hornet squadron that would love the opportunity to cristen this new playground (I’ll give you a hint-its a color and goes with angels
hehehhehe
If not, then the Gunslingers of VFA-105 would be up to the task
jrl … all signed up for the Yahoo group …
i have to create a Yahoo account…too burned out from today
i’ll give it a whirl man~ana
Capt. Lund, Sir:
My sincere thanks and admiration for your service. Your dedication to God, country, and Corps is a testament to beliefs you espouse, the freedoms you defend, and the ideals of patriotism. Your calm and collected response to provocateurs is a shining example of the character which all MArines can enulate.
I salute you, Sir.
