By my count there were about 70 folks at 5:30 (when I was able to get there), many with Corps gear on, and <em>lots</em> of people riding by honking and waving in support. This was organized by Fred Lefevbre of WSPD's morning show, and was a last minute thing or I think more would have come out, plus it was bitter cold, in the single digits. I was only walking with them for about 30 minutes or so, but Fred and others, clearly some were veterans, were out there in the cold for the whole time. Not all Toledoans are jerks, in fact most are very pro military. There was a failed recall effort for Hizzoner last year; too bad it wasn't in progress now, I think just maybe the results would be the other way... More Toledo update:

He insists it was all a misunderstanding, and continues to assert his belief about a "safety hazard". BS detectors are beeping everywhere. Like I said before, Ohioans are very pro-military. I don't see any positive end for the Fink. Toledo update:

(Yes, I'll claim being a Toledo native. Most of the people are great until they step into a voting booth.) I'm not surprised Carty made news by doing something stupid like this, it's a regular occurrence for him. This one just went national. Don't forget he's also known as the "moving deaf people out by the airport" mayor. But the sad part is that Toledo not only elected him twice the first time, they re-elected him after he was term-limited out for four years. Granted, the mayor in between was hapless, but that's no excuse when there were at least a couple other good candidates on the primary ballot. As for this situation, knowing how downtown Toledo is in February it would have been a perfect scenario for the Marines. There's no one down there to scare, Carty! Another black eye for the old hometown. *sigh* Michael Swartz www.monoblogue.us As a Toledo native, I have to put my two cents in. (Yes, I’ll claim being a Toledo native.

They did'nt even pretend to support the troops, They were the stinking hippies who dominate the Democrat party today. Their aversion to war comes from the fact that they are made up entirerly of spineless, craven cowards, who wouldn't even defend their own wives if they were being raped before their very eyes, instead they would contact the UN, and have a letter of comdenation sent to the rapest. Don't worry though there have always been real men, patriots, with enough courage to take a stand for what's right,about 30%of the country. There's about 30% who say they'll stand up,but get a little shaky when the lead actually starts fling, then the rest is made up of these cowards, and politicions. It's always been that way.
