[helbent]

This is what veterans think of your Barrycades.
Not one word of this on any National News Media tonight.  That's disgusting.

From the pictures, it appears that there were only a few hundred people at most.

Many thousands... Too many for the Capital Police to manage. The last thing they wanted to do was attempt to use force against the veterans.
1) They don't have the manpower to deal with them, and many of the vets were prepared for a fight. One group led by several retired Army Rangers suggested to the Police that they would be well advised to step aside. They stepped aside.
2) The political fall-out would be beyond measure, beyond anything most people can imagine.
3) Police at the White House were clearly intimidated, even frightened. Watch the videos. Those cops wanted to be anywhere but where they were.

I cant say as I blame them for not wanting any part of that

This Vet pictured to me is what it was all about.  In my opinion the only thing marring the rally was the person or persons with the confederate flags.  Old Glory was the flag all these Vets fought under and the message the confederate flag conveyed I think anyway muddled the message.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. You poor chaps have got the worst and probably the most corrupt media in the world.

So they are "corrupt" how? All have their own agendas but why would they be more "corrupt" then limey ones?

Its page one on Fox.

I really wish you guys wouldn't post this kind of crap here.  I want to respond, but the forum rules don't allow it.
