Yesterday, I heard Senator Bachmann say they are holding this event to protest the "...politicians in Washington using these veterans as political pawns." As SHE, a POLITICIAN IN WASHINGTON, uses them as political pawns.

No thanks. I will not be standing with them.

It was yet another sickening display of the ignorant stupidity that characterizes of the far right mouth breathers who wrap themselves in Old Glory for every photo op while wiping the snot from their faces with the Constitution.

ps A lot of veterans showed up to protest the war in SE Asia back in '70-'71 in D.C. Those guys sure were a tough bunch, tossing the teargas canisters back at the police. The parents of the slain were there too.
Not much of that aspect made it to the evening news or the mainstream press.
