Protesting Veterans Tear Down DC Barricades, Chant "Shut Down The White House"
The "Million Vet March" in Washington D.C. appears to be escalating as reports of barricades being torn down, police in riot gear and snipers being deployed, and a growing crowd at The White House chanting for its shut-down suggest the people are growing restless.
Veterans take back the Vietnam Memorial
Protesters have gathered in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, according to reports.
Park police in riot gear were deployed in front of the building.
“US Park Police have arrived in front of WH. Some in riot gear! Tea party/veteran protesters start booing,” wrote CNN’s Jim Acosta on Twitter.
A rally took place at the World War II memorial and headed to the White House, reported NBC Washington. Several thousand demonstrators came out, it said.
NBC reported that people were carrying barricades that were likely from the WWII memorial to the White House area.
The DC Police Department said its officers are on the scene.
“MPD is on the scene at White House with USSS & USPP concerning protest – marchers using sidewalk,” it wrote on Twitter.
Commentator Sarah Palin and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were on the scene and spoke to demonstrators.
The organizers of the protest described themselves as the “Million Vet March.”
It said that veterans and military members are “being used a political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis,” its website reads.
Jeff Tompkins, a protester, told NBC that “it should be open to everyone to come down here and see this … this is not just and not fair,” referring to the WWII memorial.
Snipers at the ready atop the White House as the crowds gather...

Pretty much nailed it. The employees of Freedomworks and SarahPac demand that the WWII memorial be re-opened and while your at it get your goverrment hands off of my medicare....
Are you two Palin-jealous lesbians? Whatever it is......it is easy to recognize jerks with nothing to contribute and who will never accomplish anything. Including swaying the thinking people here. It is wasteful to even deal with you, so no more. Enjoy your misery.
In case you don't know it was Tom Hanks that spearheaded the WWII Memorial, which is NOT about honoring the vets, it's about honoring WWII vets. And yes, I was on the mailing list in the mid '90 because I was a member of Naval Historical Society.
Get lost dipshit.
Wisehiney is right and you're wrong.
Ps. You're a particularly irritating person, doncha know.
PS. do you have any more irrelevant points beyond Tom Hanks
being the person who spearheaded the WWII Memorial?
The gentleman who designed it is from my neck of the woods.
http://www.wwiimemorial.com/default.asp?page=pictures.asp&subpage=
They are gate crashers.
All politicians are scum. The only exception I've seen is Ron Paul. But, look what honesty and truth brought him.
As soon as I saw Palin and Cruz, I knew something was up.
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. It is truly the vets who can change things for the better. I applaud them.
The greatest things we have ever seen have a way of quickly becoming the most terrifying and unbelievable things we have ever seen.
Let's wait and see what happens before we declare the revolution a victory.
How many more would have turned up if they could afford the trip?
How many more would have turned up if they were not in hospital or cemeteries?
How many more soldiers would be there if they could leave their post in those hell holes the US has created?
Anyone spot Pelosi or Reid out their talking with the demonstrators?
It's time to construct a gallows in the middle of the national mall...
I will be happy to supply the lumber for free.
Mr Obama ...tear down these walls !
There is a Gorgon Stare over D.C. All of the Beltway vets will be tracked back to their homes. These are very brave men, knowing what we know about this treasonous nest of secretive, destructive Marxists in the White House.
Every friend and neighbor of these men must now keep watch on them and come to their aid, if the Stasi come knocking on their doors in the middle of the night. Run towards the firing, surround the event, put fire into the backside of the assaulters. Make their ass pucker in surprise when the rounds start hitting the back of their vests.
Lol.
They wouldn't be able to find them even if Putin gave NSA their addresses.
More likely the administration will sic the irs on them,etc. But agreed, we must help to watch over.
We're they singing 'we shall overcome'?
just did a cursory search of the web... only abc news mentions this...
First hits for me via Google came up with Fox News and Washinington Post.
It's been like this for everything. All the peace protestors who for years were trying to stop making a bunch of disabled vets (the "opposition" thought that it was only politically motivated, and attack on their Dear Lead Bush II) we also shunned: though media elsewhere around the globe was fairly responsive, as they should have given the millions world-wide who rose up against PLANNED MURDER.
This happened before, and the young men now in DC should remember how it ended.
Eigthy years ago now.
Ten thousand -- twenty thousand doughboys, and those animals called us the "Bonus Army".
But we didn't want any "bonus". We wanted what we were promised, and what we were owed.
What we were owed, if I may say so, after going through a kind of hell that you young men -- even after what you have seen -- oh. I hope to God you cannot imagine. If there is a merciful God, then you cannot.
Douglas MacArthur, whom they had made a General officer -- he ordred us fired upon.
They fired upon us, after what we had seen, after what we had done.
Have any of you given this much? I do honestly believe that for the sake of my country gave my soul to the Devil in the Argonne, in a November long ago.
And they fired upon us.
Just a note: the Bonus army was referred to as 'Boners' in the day.
Ironic.
"This happened before, and the young men now in DC should remember how it ended."
Huh?
I mean, this is NOT a good comparison (the potential outcome perhaps, but not the reasons).
Scroll back in the history book a bit farther and lookup "Shay's Rebellion." Folks back then were telling TPTB to STOP TAKING FROM THEM. I believe this "Shut down the White House" rebellion is also asking the govt to STOP TAKING (or perhaps their message is wrong for what they're really demanding?). The Bonus Army was merely asking FOR PAYMENT of monies promised FROM the US govt. (they could have lined up behind the natives) I thought that what we want is for the US govt to quit making promises it can't repay? the Bonus Army's situation was no more than same old same old) Making deals with the devil and then complaining about it...
Don't ask the govt for anything other than to STOP doing things: it WON'T, but eventually the people will learn by this message to do as the Mayans (purportedly did) and walk away from the govt, walk away from power. And on this point I am in full support of the message of today's actions.
seer, your for them but against them, your above us all in your noble tower, too many words to much contradiction a confused mind, take a stand, the time is near.
INteresting taker on this on Huffington Post. They are pitching it as a Tea Party rally.
If it's not bush it is TEA, with those pseudo intellectuals.
Blinders...
Same thing happened in reverse with the anti-war protests (which WERE extremely large, and all over the country as well as the GLOBE). In the US the "opposition" called it all as being organised by the communists.
This shit just gets old... Go team!
I think it stupid for the confederate flag display, just as I thought it stupid for the "save the turtles" shit during the peace protests. It only creates great handles to grab and smack the main mesage with. If people want to cecede from the "union" then fucking do your protesting THERE! (really, going to the heart of the Union and asking It to let you be "free," I mean, how fucking stupid is that? probability of success-wise) No different for the "turtle people"... I UNDERSTAND their concerns, and I agree with the fact that there is importance there for many, but, PEOPLE!, fucking strategy! you suck at it!
I wish the people posting on this article would stop fighting each other. That's feeding into the goal of our mutual enemy; the current out of control, Fascist, Marxist, treasonous, criminal scum who, like a cancer, have infected every level of our society from bottom to top, be it in education, government, law enforcement, media, entertainment, business, banking, you name it.
A soft coupe has occurred right before America's blind eyes, clouded further by their right/left paradigm of divide us and conquer us by getting us to fight amongst ourselves over their psychopathic manipulative mind-fucking.
This is what has happened to us becuase we have fallen victim to what has plagued all great societies throughout the history of mankind...we got too big and have been infected by an evil cancer that is now feeding off the host, and it won't stop unless we get together and eradicate the virus.
We can be the first country/society in history to do so and save ourselves from being the next in a long line of historical societal catastrophies if we just keep waking people up and fighting these mother fuckers with all we've got. We know better...no other people on the planet could know better what we're facing and how to beat it than the American people.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."Marcus Tullius Cicero - (106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator
Quit fighting with each other over the petty bullshit these evil scum are manipulating us with. Overcome it and rise up. Quit focusing on your opinions of who has been right or wrong over conflicts of the past...that doesn't help solve our current problem. Instead, focus all your energy on beating these fucking scum into the dirt no matter what the cost.
99% of us are on here because we're good people who care about saving America. If we all work together to that end, then we will win...if we let our enemy divide us, then like every society before us we will lose.
Fine post. Thank you.
Another way of saying it:
http://deekjackson.com/?p=5638
Yea Deek!
A self made and produced man!
Blah blah blah. I agree with you that a bunch of social policy issues are dredged up to diviide wedges between groups of people especially economically and culturally that often would have a fair amount in common but I don't even know what are you saying when you argue to 'save America.'
I would think that they should deliver the barricades to Congress
Dear Dude, or Dudette, or Dud, Congress is doing its' job representing the people and their tax dollars while the president is playing politics and representing special interests, providing special favors to his rich donors. These guys understand that and are delivering the barrycades to the perpetrator.
'congress is doing it's job'?
Yeah, that one was a laugher.
"Dear Dude, or Dudette, or Dud,"
You cannot really believe that? There is no difference.
People from Congress helped to remove the barricades that were put there by Obama.
If you can't distinguish the difference, I feel sorry for you.
The executive branch ordered the barricades, paid for them, and put them into place on their own. Congress did not order this.
Get the story straight.
Obama might have "paid for them", but he stuck the taxpayers with the bill.
They should have stopped it fucktard!!!!!
It's true that CONgress has been completely disfunctional for years but the current occupant of the White House ordered the barricade of our monuments so I personally believe his front porch is a good place to stack those barricades.
That said I didn't junk you.
Thanks for your civil reply, As for being junked (down arroved), I actually like being junked. I wear it as a badge of honor.
I just don't believe this is a one sided action.
I think people are being manipulated or tricked into thinking that it is a one sided action. It is being done so that people focus their hostility on each other rather than the real issues.
Pretty sad to have to admit that most folks here are no smarter than those they're attacking...
The ' divide and conquer ' strategy has been and still is the oldest trick used against the poor to turn on each other while the powers continue to rob and control the masses.
When emotions runs high, anything goes.
How appropriate, a Monday Morning Quarterback on a Monday Morning. YOU go grab a barricade and dump it wherever the fuck you please and I assure this... you will have my support no matter where you choose to dump it. It's the act itself that matters, not its execution.
1960s redux.
Quagmire wars, cronies and a foul stench of a President.
If they shoot another veteran in the head with teargas, its go time.
I wish I was in DC marching with my Brothers.
All those in power are traitors. Politicians, judges, and all officers. Every single one contributes, every single day to the destruction of freedom and liberty in this country. Those fuckers on the roof of the White House included.
And what about the banksters, or other mega-private entity folks?
When you all have managed to wipe out all the politicians and then you come to find out that it all still feels the same, well... maybe THEN you'll understand that the "opponent" is BIG POWER.
Ok. Fair enough.
Shoot the Pols and the Banksters....just to be sure.
I'll raise you lawyers, for the hattrick.
Fuck the status quo, off with their heads!
How to make 325,000,000 enemies in one quick and easy step:
Fuck with a vet.
And even God can't help anyone who fucks with a WWII vet.
This is the one thing we all agree on.
This is why the founding fathers only wanted a natural born American as a persident. Obama has no love of America's ex soldiers.
If Obama has a 37% approval rating, who are they? I know of no one in Texas that approves of Obama. Even my black friends are tired of him. Who are the 37%? Is Texas out of tune with the US?
Obama is praying to mecca on his prayer rug for guidance.
The White House is the Kabuki Theatre. If you want to stop all the shit in this country and the world burn down the Federal Reserve Building.
Cosing the WWII Memorial is all on Obama.
99% of the populace has no idea what you just said or why.
Snipers on the roof of the presidential palace? Good Lord, we're a fucking banana republic.
Get fucking serious and start constructing gallows. HANG ALL THESE FUCKERS!!!!
I would suggest a second front be opened. The Vets on site should send a detachment to assault the congress. Every member is openly bribed by corporations to carry out an agenda to end the American middle class as an entity. The White House and Congress, along with the Supreme Court ar traitorous entities, wholly criminal enterprises, and enemies of the constitution. SHut them all down, And shut off pay to the DC polices. Greedy fucking overpaid cunts who serve as repressors of America for pay. Fucking whores!
Don't forget the Federal Reserve. They need to be burned out and every single cockroach in there needs to be hanged.
More like pimps paid by a "friendly" foreign nation with this nations money to whore out the American people. They are all guilty of high treason and really do deserve a death sentence.
If they're gonna point guns at us the second ammendment says we can point guns back. FUCK THEM. This is a regime NOT a government of the people.
the vets are leading the way, hopefully many others will soon follow their example.
much respect to those out there today truly and honestly serving there country and like so many others here at ZH I wish I could be there along side them to tear down those barricades and with it a little piece of the regime that has infested our nations capitol.
that the memorial to the greatest generation was closed down for no other reason than a police state gone insane was one thing, but today's protest goes beyond even that and the voice of a nation sick and tired of being serfs to an ever expanding, tyrannical, control freak central three ring circus was heard loud and clear today.
so thank you vets for honoring your oath to defend this nation against all enemies foreign, and most especially and importantly now, domestic.
God bless our vets.
the white house has nothing to do this. they should all be arrested as the thugs and terrorists they are. put the republicans in jail too
The White House has everything to do with this. Fixed it for you.
gosh, would the rooftop snipers opening fire make you happy? From your comments it sounds like it.
Something tells me the paid trolls are out in force today.
You think? I wonder what nationality they are?
[Facepalm]
This does have something to do with 'No I will not Negotiate' Obama
That gate won't be difficult to find. Look for the narrow driveway with a Segway parked in it.
God Bless America! My wife just texted me that she was at her bank ATM and that there were 5 cars in front of her on a Sunday evening. Very unusual!
Reality is they could storm the place but the Oreo and anyone of significance has long since left the building since this started only the 'non-essential' staffers are in the building right now along with a small security contingent (kinda like Benghazi) to make it look like the place is being protected. The emperor has no clothes and is a coward to boot a bunch of of pissed off old coots are going to show him up. Brave Sir Barry turned his tail and bravely fled through one of the escape tunnels out of the WH already if he didn't leave town a day or 2 ago knowing this march was coming up. He is a typical passive aggressive statist pussy type who will never directly fight anyone unless he can hide behind something. This means watch out for his petty passive aggresive petulant temper tantrum throwing retaliation coming up. A mental health evaluation is in order at a VA hospital for this guy. 25th Amendment bitchez, use it to your advantage before he uses the mental health system against you with Obamacare being the vehicle to put everyone in jail and take their guns.
Not my term but someone coined the barricades appropiately enough Barry-cades.
according to ABC world (MSM) news this Sunday night the veterans were protesting the shutdown (read the extremists in Congress)
Impressive spin, you must admit.
Thankfully there's the alternate media.
So, the gubbermint can afford to buy miles of barrycades and pay an army of goons to guard the monuments they can't afford to keep open. Such brazen hypocrisy might register as odd in the tiny pea brains of even his clueless supporters.
And the picture of the new 'murka, the White House with snipers on the roof to guard the Kenyan Usurper from his subjects. Priceless!
As someone mentioned to me who works in gubbermint that they were able to get those professionally printed park closed signs up so quickly pretty much tips the hand they either were preparing just for this for showdown for awhile now or it was politically motivated in the first place. Their reasoning is the speed in which it takes to purchase anything with all the bureaucracy involved there is no way they could have had those signs purchased and up in 24 hours when the government was open let alone closed unless you cut all the pencil pushers and bean counters out of the process. Even then the printers probably couldn't have printed them up that fast..
It is amazing - the sniper pics made me shudder.
meanwhile in russia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKrSGbOjSyI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABdmTfNedrs
Yeah, that situation in Russia is different. The protesters in your links are mostly Kazhaks or Uzbeks. They have no visa requirements to enter Russia and Putin just reaffirmed this status. The best Mrs. M could explain was that those people are like Mexicans in the US except for the fact that they are Muslims and tend to be very violent. Mrs. M would know as she is Russian and just came through Moscow a week and a half ago. I practically need to invoke the Geneva Convention Accords just to get into her panties. This is how Russians are. It is not easy to make friends with them but most of them are very good people if you can do so. They simply do not like people invading their space. The shared hatreds for each other run very deep from the former Soviet Union and even earlier than that.
I have no problem with Muslims if they leave me alone but Mrs. M does have problem and it is not a small deal. Mrs. M is an intelligent woman but it all goes out the window when the Muslim issue comes up. I attempted to suggest reasoning with the Muslims and she got narrow eys and thin lips and stared at me. I have been with her for over ten years and she lit into me like a nest of hornets. She said I have no fucking idea what I am talking about and that I should shut my fucking mouth. Mrs. M let me have it. Oops, on my part.
layman, what you posted in the links goes back a thousand years or more. I think what we saw in DC today was a very different thing. In DC, you finally have some people who have woken up to the fact that they are being screwed and they happened to be veterans. I applaud what they did and they had every right to do what they did. I only want everyone to know that what you posted and what happened in DC are not the same things.
This is not that big of a protest or march on Wahington. Sorry kids, The 1960's and 1970's were the REAL DEAL.
...and there will NEVER be as big of a protest as there was during that time period. EVER.
Please.
We're gonna make our own protest with blackjack and hookers...
Foolish comment. Only reason there hasn't been is because the populace hasn't been angry enough or those who have had comfortable existence haven't had to match in large numbers. Name a fundamental cause based on social rights for a wide class of peopple since the 60s and Civil Rights? You can't. Weren't not there yet but if the train jumps the tracks economically you can bet we will have it.
Picking fucking customers. Goddamn what do you people WANT? it is the BEGINNING YOU STUPID SUMABITCH. it has to start somewhere and it is not starting here. Now, go watch TV you lazy pimp.
By Tuesday morning everyone will be home and QE to 'infinity and beyond"!!!!!
There are 200 people on the Mall, invited by the craziest of the crazies. Get a hold of yourselves baggers.

Pot meet kettle I guess when it is Occupy which was primarly left leaning groups you ignore the fringe lunatics but when it is primarly right leaning groups you don't.
For the record I am Libertarian I support ideas and people first, I don't support parties or organizations. When the organizations define the people and not the other way around in a non voluntary manner that is not worth supporting. I absolutely support what these people are out protesting against even if I don't like the fact that a good portion of them are too 'conservative' for my tastes but a free country tolerates difference in a voluntary manner not in coerced get along because I said so and you don't I am going to punish you since I am afraid of people can't treat like grown adults statist type the 'left leaning Marxists' espouse in their policies in the WH and Congress.
I think it is safe to say a good portion of the ZH people follow to certain degree the George Carlin mixed in with Ron Paul school of Libertarianism which is well summed up in this quote.
“Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name.”
-George Carlin
You're a libertarian and you're calling other people fringe lunatics?
Some people are absolutely bat shit off the deep end crazy and are naturally attracted to these sort of things like moths to a flame. The bigger they are the more moths tend to show up. They are the ones always used to smear everyone else involved as the disinformation machine roars to life. And yes I absolutely am because the system is large and varied enough to allow for fringe lunatics as opposed to not fringe lunatics as opposed to irrational lunatics as opposed to misguided but fairly rational lunatics as opposed to ..... And also for the record I do believe in joining groups that are voluntary like charitable organizations because they tend to ultimately be defined the people who join them. If the people are free and moral the organizations tend to follow suite. The military still by and large at least in the rank and file below where the politics comes in is. This where a lot of these veterans started and finished their careers at along with the ones involuntarily drafted from Vietnam era that are out there protesting today come from. That I can absolutely rally behind but it is the individuals and their ideas I support first and foremost.
Since you code you should know better since there are 4 primary outcomes since fringe and lunatic alone stand as valid Truths using boolean algebra.
Fringe and lunatic are a valid logic combination and holds true when combined. Nothing non Libertarian in using logic to reason out something.
I can name you a lot of mass-murdering governments from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that were not made up of libertarians -- in fact none of them were made up of libertarians -- they hated libertarians.
I don't consider myself a libertarian, but I might be a fucking lunatic for liking George Carlin and believing that Ron Paul is cut from a different cloth than 97.6% of our thieving, spying, warmongering "leaders".
+1000
I am Nothingarian. It's a new philosophy where I don't have to believe a fucking word of anything that anyone else says. I have been working on it for a while. It's not perfect but here is some great Carlin. You are no lunatic. The moon is not at full phase.
http://www.boatingaccidentnews.com/there-is-nothing-on-television-any-more/
This is clearly FUCKING STUPID!
So, we're doing individual analysis here now?
There's ALWAYS a fringe.
The Carlin quote (as is most of his words of wisdom) is the kind of stuff that I live by.
"For the record I am Libertarian"
For the "record" I'm not defined. (I'm solicited by all and hated by all... clearly I'm on the right track!)
Right, Dewey.
The Flounders warned against collectivizing into political parties.
Libertarian is the only non-party 'party' I could belong to.

"You have a corrupt government which is heavily armed...its not rocket science"
The Globe and Mail reported clashes in DC today between college kids and the DC thugs.
Yes We Can,,,IMPEACH!
If you ZH'ers have not yet, I would recommend visiting the - PRIVATELY FUNDED - National D-Day Memorial. It is one of the most beautiful and moving U.S. monuments. Sits on a ridge in the Virginia foothills in Bedford County.
http://www.dday.org/
Why it is there......
By day's end, nineteen of the company's Bedford soldiers were dead. Two more Bedford soldiers died later in the Normandy campaign, as did yet another two assigned to other 116th Infantry companies. Bedford's population in 1944 was about 3,200. Proportionally this community suffered the nation's severest D-Day losses.
Seeing pics come across twitter of old folks, men and women, getting batoned by Barry's fuking gutless storm troopers.
I think they are asking for round two.

BREAKING: Tea Party protestors wave Confederate flag at White House, tell Obama to “put the Quran down”
Friends --
Did you see this?
At today's rally led by Senator Ted Cruz, Tea Party activists marched to the White House with Confederate flags. It's simply appalling.
Sign our petition immediately demanding Ted Cruz and Tea Party Congressmen denounce these heinous acts >>
This wasn't just an isolated incident.
One speaker from a Tea Party outside group told the crowd to "demand that this president leave town [...] put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come out with his hands up."
...
You see what they are doing here. Though I wouldn't doubt it if a few fringe types did say just this thing but you see how the smear works. Expect the RINOS to stay silent since they are all playing for team Marxist at the end of the day.
Ah, but all protesters are crazies, fringies, dangerous, racist, etc. All those teenage girls at OWS needed to be stomped in the face. And those vets out in Oakland, it was right and proper to shoot them.
The very act of protest makes you a criminal. So throw in a few repellant visuals.
Slander is an art.
"The very act of protest makes you a criminal" -- only if you are opposed to "the one". If you're protesting about your failed EBT or you're an illegal immigrant protesting to have your law breaking rewarded by free stuff forever, this government thinks you're a righteous individual.
Er, no. Left wing causes (antiglobalization, bringing bankers to justice, an end to police shootdowns, etc.) get the full treatment, from 'anarchists' who look a lot like cops to illegal beatings.
The Tea Party 'demonstrations' received full official cooperation, since they were creating noise where speech would show Obamacare an obvious corporate welfare racket.
DC Thugs - what a disgusting group of dim-witted dipshits collecting checks for beating defenseless people....they are SCUM!
"Snipers on the White House roof". This is Obama's version of America. Now tell me what would it be like if the second amendment right to arm oneself is abolished. Happy to see there are some people waking up to our tyrannical government.
Then, it wouldn't be snipers, it'd be machine gun nests. The NWO knows violence.
What they can't handle is to be ignored or subverted. Gunfights, they can do. Satire, exposure, sabotage, malingering, that path is their doom.
Well, you know, snipers are ONLY allowed when there's a sitting "black" POTUS and the "threats" are from humble Quakers...
Like this doesn't happen in every fucking country on the planet.
The [logical] point about those snipers is that they're part of the secret service whose mission is to protect the POTUS. Have to wonder how many of you here were outraged the similar situation(S) posed by the peace movement when GW Bush was the sitting POTUS.
I'm thinking that God will judge for hypocrisy... I know that I'm perfectly fine in this department.
Of course those snipers are SS members and their job is to protect potus and they are always up there. They're not however always standing in plain view to deliver a very clear message of their presence. As it turned out, the chain of command had the sense to try to limit escalation in this instance (aside from a couple asshat cops caught acting like jackboot thugs on video). It would seem that most around the White House got that openly engaging that particular crowd in hostility simply wouldn't play well on the nightly news. As it was, the major networks were able to completely ignore the day's events as .gov saw fit. I would still ask of the rooftop security, is this really the side of history you want to be on when it's all said and done?
No, the Bath House version of Amerika is gunning down young unarmed women in DC. With a kid in the car. With actual full-auto rifles.
No, the Bath House version of Amerika is anyone who is not a communist or muslim is the enemy.

Barricade the White House (When a fort becomes a prison)
Remove Satan from the oval office.
Like I had never heard this said when GW Bush was in office...
All this is a perfect example of mob psychology.
And, really, if Obama is Satan then what does that make H. Clinton or McCain? Ever consider that the System is Satan? (kick out Obama and you get Biden, kick out Biden and you get what, Pelosi?) I'd hope that one day people could think more than one step ahead...
And, really, if Obama is Satan then what does that make H. Clinton or McCain?
Possible answers: Beelzebub and Mephistopheles
The sooner we get that boot-lipped, knuckle dragging, first upright walking in his Kenyan family, communist SOB out the White House the better....
Oh, and take the Wookie with you, she stinks !
Edit:
And to all of the mysterious "Trolls" that have popped up out of nowhere the past month or so that hate the military, our troops, and the people that have fought and died to keep us free,
FUCK YOU !!!
You are all a bunch of pussy ass Cum guzzlin Leftist OBUMMA MOON CRICKET LOVING FAGS THAT WILL GET ASS RAPED AND BE OTHER PEOPLE'S BITHES WHEN THE SHIT REALLY DOES HIT THE FAN !
You make me laugh out loud! Have another PBR. Your team loose today?
I think if the founding fathers were to look at America today and offer its people only one bit of advice it would be to make sure that under no circumstance and for no reason surrender their second amendment rights. The way things are going those rights are the only thing that will make Amerika become America again.
No, the founders would only rethink the 2nd.
Snipers?......really Obama?
Snipers are for show. Think about it. They ain't going to shoot If they don't not enough bullets and no escape route (aka trapped on the roof) without having a show of force on the ground to hold the masses in check while keeping that visible of a position. It would be suicidal on their part to fire on the crowd especially one that ain't going to play around and knows how to fight and was trained to do so when it comes down to it without having enough of a ground force to hold back the protesters long enough to fall back if needed. That crowd isn't going to disperse and run with their tails between their legs if they start popping off rounds into it. Then again the emperor is all about the show and no teeth this is just another situation showing that he is really naked. The black Nero is probably playing golf (violin) right now as DC burns. And following along with the playbook the Black Nero has his sycophants using the Tea Party as the Christian scapegoat equivalent in blaming the burning of DC (Rome) on. Expect full out persecution 21st century style passive aggressive LGBT transgender Obamacare paid for mangina Marxist style throw them to the lions coming next.
I know it is all political theater but this is turning into the theater of the absurd. Does he even realize how stupid, control freaky and paranoid it makes him and his minions look?
Actually, the theory is pop the first ones through the fence, and the rest will run.
It's a lot like the 'sublethal' rounds shot at OWS in Oakland. They were aiming for anybody who looked like a leader.
But none of this sub shit here.
Actually, he is probably engaged in some deviant sex activity with Reggie and a cow.
Thanks to the excellent collection of photos in this ZH article, we've all been there.
Wake me up when a disenfranchised vet sniper shoots one of the snipers on the black house roof. I think this whole thing is just one big bullshit false flag attack on the aMERICAN public.
Hate to break it to you ZH-baggers but the turnout to this Palin/Cruz organized event looks a mite shy of a million. Try about 300. It's an insult to genuine Vets to have their name linked to this pathetic display.
As opposed to. Define 'genuine' vets for us. Last time I checked it wasn't organized by Palin/Cruz they just are riding the coattails for publicity because they are politicians first and foremost and politicians are attention whores.
True about who organized, but if Palin/Cruz were just there for the reasons you mentioned, so would be the rest of Congress, who were noticeable by their absence.
I wonder whether any of these vets have been involved in the anti-war protests over the years. LOTS of vet support there, for years, covering the country... but we all know, it was really only sponsored by the communists, it was only in order to get Dems into office...
They'll all be sitting at home happy once the checks start flowing again. And for some, I'm sure, when they've managed to get Their "power" in to office... Sorry, but I've seen it all. Yeah, there are MANY people who are sincere, sadly, however, as always happens, they only get taken for a (political) ride. There's a reason why I don't sign up to groups (most don't have an exit strategy- it's about Them obtaining power positions).
Just cause you can count past 103... you think you're so great...LIBTARD douchebagnozzle.
Everyone knows its hard to get a turnout on NFL day... SARAH.. come on... SUYTs
Oh, great! Name-calling!
"Everyone knows its hard to get a turnout on NFL day" And it was planned for such a day?
Flip the record over, it plays the same... As someone who is NOT aligned with any party nor with any "ideology" I am free to concentrate on the facts and logic, don't get clouded by emotions- it's the EXACT same thing for the "other side" (as you would see it).
These movements FAIL because people don't fucking understand that movements don't really work. The folks who struggled for unions failed to realize that unions would only sell them out (because you're creating a structure that can be corrupted): the "bosses" were then relieved of any threats of violence (and they could eventually do pretty much what they'd want to do, only having to make a few token concessions- all just the same as the govt- it's how POWER structures itself).
Since you are sensitive to name calling, I'm just going to go ahead and get it over with.
Thou art a twat.
There. I said it.
I've certainly thought it at least 2 dozen times tonight concerning your know-it-all bullshit and deep insight into god damn everything. Well, now that you've so artfully diagnosed the problems of the world concerning things power structure and now that I've got the name calling out of my system, what's your amazing plan of action, exactly?
A solid plan is what everyone is short of right now and you dogging everyone and showing off isn't helping.
Yup, another example of seeking the REAL issues, of being mature.
You call me a "twat" and you then expect a rational discourse?
Centralized power fails. Creating organizations creates a centralization point. Do you comprehend the POWER that you're trying to "combat?"
It's not my JOB to tell others what to DO. Nor is it my JOB to create some "solution."
I don't mean to be rude, I was really in the throws of presenting background to reply (I don't believe in "solutions," as "solution" denotes a permanent state and nothing is permanent), but I've got to run (really, and, despite you calling me a "twat," I would still wish to reply in a meaningful way because you ASKED- I respect that [and hope it was sincere']). Please look me up elsewhere around here and remind me to present my POINTs.
Later...
You are not aligned on this? Let us forget that you were amongst us. May your chains lie lightly upon you. How's that for insulting, bitch?
Let's rename the tea party to the "afterparty bowel movement".. then get Sarah to SUHTs in front ot the White House...that oughta bring down the house.
He's on the golf course folks.
I noticed a few confed flags.
This comment only pertains where the blame game
was genuinely in play by frustrated persons.
That means they're very effectively doing the
demagogues' bidding, even as the demagogues don't
actually have to shell out for puppets to achieve
seeing it.
But then, even progressives often don't see the
privatizing of profits/socializing of costs, the
use of concomitant adversity as a new profit center,
then Simpson-Bowles'ing or Paul Ryan'ing (if one
can get Cyprus'd, they certainly can get
Simpson-Bowles'd or Paul Ryan'd) and then the
application of the blame game to hide these things
and send people looking for the vulnerable to blame,
and government to blame, when government's the
demagogues' puppets.
The confed flag wavers will be older one day.
Then, they'll be members of a well known vulnerable
group. Yet, our society should care that the older
person may have recently lost a spouse of 40 years.
The upshot is privatizing, which bears no relation
to what's etched over the entrance ways to our
nation's schools of public policy and rather
rationalizes and reverse engineers efficiently from
the interest of the privatizer, and foremost, providing
invioloable profit boxes and generally freedom from
competition, all the while the privatizer goes
around calling everyone else non-capitalist.
This is that.

The more the demagogues succeed, the more
confused and energy wasting these offensive
flag wavers will be.
But in fact, many southerners today often know, clearly,
better than do some northerners, the difference
between democratic processes and populism and
the blame game.
To wit:

I don't blame people for feeling as they do. I just point out why they'll end up being frustrated (been there, done that!).
Have to wonder how there can be this mingling between US flag wavers and Confederate flag wavers. It sure seems to me to be a bit confusing... Personally, I detest flag waving. And when people bring God in to the mix, as though God has a favorite country, well, it is, as you suggest, a support of demagagary.
Believe it or not, people can pretty much do what they want. What WON'T work is ASKING for the govt to STOP doing something. The govt didn't listen to [proven] millions of folks ASKING that the govt not engage in illegal wars. So, I don't think that ASKING the govt to stop being the govt has any more chance of success.
If you don't have blinders on you can see EXACTLY how all of it gets marginalized. HINT: look around you (not at the govt); we're fucking tools...
The founders postulated inviolable natural rights given by a creator, not by any government, and furthered that a government violating such rights ought to be overthrown, and then described a limited, divided against itself government system. Pace Lincoln, a house divided against itself was intended, by design. The confederate flags (a hail to the original federal design) and USA flags (a hail to the constitution) and mentions of God (a creator and not man being the origin of inviolable rights) in such a protest are reflective of the very soul of this nation. If you are uncomfortable you might feel better overseas somewhere, or in a faculty lounge.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Are these troll weasels all you can get for your money Soros? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
It's times like these where the emphasis of building your own coalition among your neighbors becomes important, because once our government turns on us we'll need to turn toward each other in order to survive.
Love it... but this little march would be dwarfed by a tsunami of zombies if the EBT shutdown lasted longer than 24 hours.
That is coming soon enough. We're just seeing the test shutdown this weekend
Look Out! When white people start busting shit up, you know it's getting bad.
Ironically there was a report on my local TV station how real WWII vets from Nevada visited WWII monument yesterday without any politically motivated agenda or issues. Organizes did take the barricades down, but they did have a permit.
Here is the link just for you dumbfounded who don't think that these disgusting actions on the part of the protesters today are not just theatrics.

Yup. Definitely astroturf.
Closing the memorial is connected in people's minds with GOP. This is to connect to WH.
PR.
