"Peace-Loving" Liberal Punches Woman
Former police officer Rita Preckshot went to counter-protest at a peace rally, was standing a respectful distance away, and still drew the ire of an anti-war protestor.
"Two of the guys from the corner walked down with a big sign that read ‘End the occupation,’ " she remembers. One of them started taking pictures of a Preckshot supporter across the street, she says. "At some point, the other guy starts coming toward me."The alleged puncher is Paul Allaire, who is being charged with third-degree misdemeanor assault.For a diminutive woman, Preckshot can handle herself. She’s a former police officer, and she isn’t easily intimidated. Still, a young man coming at her waving a sign in her face seemed a little aggressive, particularly from somebody supposedly advocating peace.
The man stepped closer. She backed off a step. He shoved a sign in her face, and she backed off once again.
"Don’t touch me!" she told him.
Then, she says, he pushed her.
"He started taunting me and reached out and pushed on my shoulder," Preckshot says. "Each time he pushed, it got a little harder. When I saw his hand come at me again, I grabbed it. I felt fearful."
As Preckshot pushed the man’s hand away, "he slugged me right in the face," she says.
It's sad enough that this guy got carried away and slugged a woman in the face. What's really disgraceful about this story, though, is that none of the man's fellow "peace activists" were willing to identify Allaire as the alleged assaulter.
They saw the guy later at a peace rally, holding the same sign, and took his picture. After that, he was arrested and charged with the assault and resisting arrest.
The head of the group that organizes the protests, Peaceworks, refuses to even say whether Allaire's alleged actions disqualify him from future protests. When asked by the reporter who wrote this story about that, he said "the issue hasn’t come up."
During the election, those on the left slashed car tires, threw bricks or shot bullets through the windows of Republican offices, stole or vandalized lawn signs on private property, and chased cars with Bush/Cheney bumper stickers. In one case, protestors stormed a GOP office and in the scuffle, a Republican volunteer had his wrist broken. No elected official from the Democratic party spoke out against the violence during the campaign.
Today, the silence from Democratic leaders continues. They won't speak out against the hatred and violence among their own supporters against the Bush administration or Republicans. What will it take for them to denounce this? The longer they are silent, the more we just have to assume they are either indifferent to it or worse, secretly approve.(H/t: Michelle Malkin)

Riiiiiiiiight. No one condemned McVeigh. Bush didn't gleefully sign the warrant to execute Byrd's killers.

It seems to me that "neener neener...you guys do it too" is something of a weak response, and illustrates the point - you guys sound like the commander of Galaxy Quest - "Never give up, never surrender!"

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Bom dia amigos, com certeza manter um veículo é difícil devido ao da verdadeira pilantragem de algumas empresas como as de financiamento. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem embutidas em letras ilegíveis regras que não beneficiam ao adquirinte do veículo. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as clausúlas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas dicas no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça depois. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer uma boa compra.

Boa tarde amigos, provavelmente disparar um SMS de graça está cada vez mais custoso devido ao bloqueio das operadoras de telefone. Há ainda os websites que prometem entregar minha menssagem mas quase nunca chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que dizem que enviam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus SMS? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de desembolsar?. Desculpem, realmente está difícil achar serviços para mandar torpedos grátis.

Bom dia companheiros, realmente manter um automóvel é trabalhoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem embutidas em letras pequenas regras que não beneficiam ao consumidor do veículo. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as clausúlas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça depois. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer boas aquisições.

Boa noite amigos, realmente possuir um veículo é trabalhoso devido ao da verdadeira pilantragem de algumas empresas como as de vendas de usados. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato firmado ou tem escondidas em letras ilegíveis condições que não beneficiam ao comprador do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as artimanhas do comprador. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça mais tarde. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer uma boa compra.

Bom dia amigos, realmente possuir um carro é oneroso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de financiamento. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem embutidas em letras microscópicas deveres que não beneficiam ao consumidor do veículo. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as deveres do consumidor. Estava lendo umas dicas no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça no final. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer bons negócios.
