There was one 'memorable' incident from the March 18th whine fest - I was sort of, kind of interviewed by KLSD 1360 aka Air America Radio.
The gentlemen that shoved a microphone into my face first asked me if I was here in support of the 'pro-war' movement.
"Pro-war?" I replied. "No, I'm not here as part of the pro-war movement, but I am here to show support for our troops defending our freedoms."
"Huh" was the response that I got from the reporter. (I call him a 'reporter' because second-stage sound lacky with really hideous teeth is too long to repeat.)
He followed up by asking me 'had I heard about the recent report of American troops landing on the roof of an Iraqi house and they bound & gagged the people inside and then shot them all in the head, including the children'.
I just stood there for a few seconds trying to find a way to tell this clown that he's full of crap if he honestly believed it. The 'reporter' sensed my hesitation and added "Well, it might have been contractors that did it....".
This brought me out of my stupor and I instantly replied "That is the biggest crock of cricket crap I've ever heard and you're a complete moron if you honestly believe that United States troops would do something that hideous".
Before he could follow up with something just as stupid as his initial question, my father-in-law who was standing there with me jumped in and asked this clown "And just who are you with??". The reporter ignored him and pressed the point of the 'massacre' story: "Do you really think that American military would shoot Iraqi children in the head?".
Again, my father-in-law asked him who he worked for - and this time, the reporter slinked away looking for someone else to annoy; unfortunately, he walked over and started questioning some of the other Protest Warriors. From what I saw, he didn't get much milage out of them either and ended up asking another pointed question and immediately stepped back a few feet to start answering the question for himself (as if there wasn't anyone there to respond).
Afterwards, I was wondering just where on Earth did this dork get such a story.....well, I found it at one of the internet's cessepools - Aztlan.net
US troops massacre 11 member Iraqi familyAnd there you have it - consider the source of this *report* and consider the ability of Air America to try and get a violent response as a sound bite and you have the basic premise of the anti-war/anti-American establishment.Horrific reports are coming out of northern Iraq concerning the massacre of an 11 member Iraqi family by US occupation soldiers. If the preliminary reports are correct, the incident will make the Abu Ghraib prison tortures seem tame by comparison.
The Iraqi family victims includes five children and two women. A senior Iraqi police officer said autopsies on the bodies showed each had been shot in the head. "El Universal" newspaper in Mexico City is reporting today that the massacred family members ranged from a 75 year old grandmother to a six month old baby.
Ugh....I'll have to take a shower after going to that website.
