A proper welcome for the Vets for Freedom in the Twin Cities

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 25, 2008 04:47 PM

Folks in the Twin Cities are fighting back against the Democratic Underground instigators who succeeded in getting the Vets for Freedom disinvited from a National Heroes Tour at Forest Lake High School in Minneapolis, which I noted this morning.

John Hinderaker reports on students who took off from school to see VFF members speak at the American Legion, where they scrambled to reorganize the event. There’s another program tonight:

Tonight from 6:00 to 8:30, the Vets For Freedom will be at the Officers’ Club at Fort Snelling, which is directly south of the Twin Cities airport. If you live within driving distance of the Twin Cities, please turn out to show your support. Here are the directions:

Located at Hwy 5 and Post Road. Exit Hwy 5 on Post Road and follow the signs to Fort Snelling State Park. Take first left to continue to the Officers’ Club. Do not pass through the stone gates to the park.

Hope to see you there. Let’s show the bullies at Democratic Underground that one spineless principal doesn’t speak for the people of Minnesota.

Ed Morrissey will cover the event for Hot Air.

And don’t forget that University of Minnesota veterans and students will hold a counterprotest against the anti-recruiter thugs next Thursday.

The homeland counterinsurgency against the Left continues!

VFF members will appear on the Andrea Shea radio show, live from the bus, tonight.

    When I read that it made me think of the kids who’s parent’s “don’t keep score” to protect their fragile egos. When the game is over the first thing the kids ask is,”Who won?”

    Wish we were in MN to show our support. I wonder if the Dummie Underground will show?

    There are decent people everywhere. The media just likes to give the spotlight to the idiots.

    Have Hillary or Obama been asked about their opinion on this or do they get a free ride?

    I was out of town when they were here in San Antonio, or I’d have been there with bells on! :-)

    If only they could’ve been a bit closer to Milwaukee, I could’ve made it. Oh well; having Ed and Uncle Jimbo cover this for me is a good substitute.

    It does my heart good to see people coming out like this to show that the anti-troop scum are the exception, not the rule, of the American people. Thanks for giving them notice, Michelle.

    That should have been “Wal-MART,” not Wal-Mat. Who would be silly enough to shop at Wal-Mat. Certainly not me.

    The point here, however, is that Wal-Mart hates the troops. Very sad.
