George Vogel Arrested for Shooting Pepper Spray at Westboro Baptist Church” Protesters at Marines Funeral

62 year old George Vogel was arrested and booked on 16 counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of felony assault on a police officer for shooting pepper-spray at protesters. Arrested, this dude should have been given a medal and a monetary reward.

Why should he get a medal you ask?

The people that Vogel shot pepper spray at were the reprehensible fools from the Westboro Baptist Church who were protesting at a Marines funeral. Because we all know it is completely appropriate to form a counter protest at a funeral, especially at a military funeral where a brave soldier made the ultimate sacrifice for his /her country. But that is not what the loons at the Westboro Baptist Church are about. They are about them, the publicity and law suits, not God, honor or country.

A motorist fired pepper spray Saturday at a group of demonstrators and counter-protesters outside a funeral for a U.S. Marine in Omaha, Nebraska, police said.

The incident occurred shortly before 10 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) as members of a small Kansas church that protests at military funerals and counter-protesters stood nearly a block away from First United Methodist Church during services for Staff Sgt. Michael Bock, 26, who died August 13 in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.

A man in a Ford-150 pickup truck drove by, extended his arm and sprayed with a large can, police said. His vehicle was stopped a few minutes later.

“Initial indications are he was probably targeting the Westboro Baptist Church” protesters, said officer Michael Pecha, a spokesman for Omaha police.

Video Hat Tip: Left Coast Rebel … Westboro Baptist loons getting pepper sprayed

What a rotten example of a group of hate mongers of intolerance hiding behind the civil liberties of freedom of speech and religion. Do not worry, one day the members of the Westboro Baptist Church will be witness to God’s law. Guess what Westboro Baptist members, you are in for an eternal damnation of a lot more than pepper spray.

What might be even more pathetic than the disgraceful members of the Westboro Baptist Church, is that CNN did an entire story and did not even reference the young Marines name who gave his life for his country. Thanks to Weasel Zippers for having the honor and integrity to do so. The heroes name was Staff Sgt. Michael Bock.

Staff Sgt. Michael Bock died August 13 after bring shot in Helmand province while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Bock grew up in Springfield, Nebraska, before moving to Leesburg with his family when he was in high school.

A month after his high school graduation in 2002 Bock went off to Marine boot camp.

Bock leaves behind his wife of seven years and a 3-year-old son, Zander.

God bless you.

Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” Rally a Huge Success … “America today begins to turn back to God.”

RESTORING HONOR … IMPRESSIVE!

Four  score and seven years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. stated in his “I have a Dream” speech, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today”.

Today was a day for individuals of all race, creed and color to reflect on the content of their character.

Glenn Beck’s, “Restoring Honor”rally, a tremendous success … it was not about LEFT and RIGHT, ite was not about Republicans and Democrats … it was about God, Honor and Country! Today was a day to “Remember the Dream” and to take back America and restore its honor. A special thank you to Glenn Beck for having the will and courage to out the “Restoring Honor” rally together and making it happen and to those he came, and they came in such vast numbers. Beck stated the following,
“This is the beginning of the end of darkness. We have been in darkness for a long time,” Beck told followers in a preview of his “Restoring Honor” rally.

“Something that is beyond man is happening,” Beck said from the base of the Lincoln Memorial. “America today begins to turn back to God.”

Wow, and the Patriot came …

An enormous and impassioned crowd rallied at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, summoned by Glenn Beck, a conservative broadcaster who called for a religious rebirth in America at the site where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech 47 years ago to the day.

“Something that is beyond man is happening,” Mr. Beck said in opening the event as the crowd thronged near the memorial grounds. “America today begins to turn back to God.”

It was part religious revival, part history lecture, as Mr. Beck invoked the founding fathers and the “black-robed regiment” of pastors of the Revolutionary War and spoke of American exceptionalism.

If you missed Sarah Palin’s tremendous speech, listen to it at Freedom’s Lighthouse where she spoke as a mom of a soldier.

Some are reporting that there were 300,000 people. Ten’s a thousands reported by the MSM.

How sad that the predictable MSM would be divisive on the day that MLK Jr. gave his famous “I have a dream” speech. The NY Times reported, Where Dr. King Stood, Tea Party Claims His Mantle. One has to ask them self why the MSM feels the need to provoke and fan the flames of intolerance? Maybe, just maybe because they have a vested interested in keeping folks at each other’s throats.

However, Glenn Beck was the one with character today as the MSM displayed nothing but bitter hatred and contempt. Glenn Beck stated the following at the Restoring Honor rally:

Beck exhorted the crowd to “recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king. He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us.” He asked his audience to pray more. “I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see.”

Does its really look like only 87,000 people werwe at the ”Restoring Honor” rally as CBS is claiming?

Feisal Abdul Rauf, Ground Zero Imam Says US Worse than al-Qaeda … “United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida …”

Let the following be a lesson to all … always question and do not ever let anyone tell you to stand down when you know something does not pass the smell test.

Remember Feisal Abdul Rauf, the so-called moderate Muslim imam behind the controversial mosque near Ground Zero? It would appear that some new audio has been discovered where Feisal Abdul Rauf is telling folks overseas that the United States has been far more deadly than al-Qaeda. Hmm, so this is the moderate that is supposed to be a bridge? A bridge to what exactly?

This so-called moderate Muslim who wants to build a mosque near Ground Zero under the guise of peace and understanding actually thinks that the US and al-Qaeda are similar. Unbelievable. Nice job politicians and liberal MSM of vetting this one.

“We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non Muslims,”Feisal Abdul Rauf said at a 2005 lecture sponsored by the University of South Australia. After discussing the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Rauf went on to argue that America is to blame for its testy relationship with Islamic countries.

“What complicates the discussion, intra-Islamically, is the fact that the West has not been cognizant and has not addressed the issues of its own contribution to much injustice in the Arab and Muslim world.”

So this is what a moderate Muslim talks like? Or is it as the Jawa Report states and that Feisal Abdul Rauf is nothing more than an extremist wolf in moderate sheep’s clothing? Iguess we now know why he wont call Hamas a terror group, eh?

UNREAL

Read much, much more by Pam Geller at Atlas Shruggs. Yes, this is the so-called moderate Muslim that wishes to build a bridge between Christianity and Islam. It would appear more like a one way road to Islam. Visit Atlas Shruggs and rwead the too numerous quotes and get a real perspective as to who is behind the “near” Ground Zero mosque.

The media frenzy to destroy good, decent Americans who oppose a 15-story mega-mosque on Ground Zero is rabid. Even for them. Despite red flags everywhere and the nationwide grief caused by this grotesque act of Islamic supremacism, why isn’t the media doing its job, investigative journalism?

Instead, the morally ill media is in full-on operational smear machine mode in the raging war of ideas, the information battle space, the objective of which is to erect the Ground Zero mega mosque. Tolerance is a crime when applied to evil (Thomas Mann). Whilst the NY Times front page spins interfaith yarns into PR gold faster than Rumpelstiltskin and accords godlike status to Imam Feisal Rauf, new audio surfaces. Here are a couple of soundbites of tolerance.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf: “We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hands of innocent non Muslims. You may remember that the US-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations. And when Madeleine Albright, who has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years, when she was Secretary of State and was asked whether this was worth it, said it was worth it.

Isn’t it fantastic that the US tax payers are paying $16,000 to have this imam to spread his “moderate” message.

So the USA killed 500,000 children, the Astute Blogger debunks the lie … what happened to their parents?

A special shout out goes to Jim Geraghty of NRO and his comment that in light of Feisal’s words above, “everyone who lectured us about how moderate and sensible Imam Rauf is is invited to eat their words with the sauce of their choice.” Amen brother!

The Near Ground Zero is a Bridge to What … Mosque Planner Daisy Khan Says Opposition Goes “Beyond Islamophobia, It’s hate of Muslims.”

MUSLIM TOLERANCE AND COMPASSION

THE BIG LIE … The near Ground Zero Mosque is meant to bring peace, understanding and a bridge between religions, REALLY?

Eventually in the end the truth comes out. Billed as a project of peace and understanding, “We the People” are beginning to see exactly what we suspected all along. So if you are outraged and do not believe that a mosque should be built near Ground Zero, the site of 9-11 where nearly 300 innocent people were murdered, you are now branded an Islamophobia and you hate  Muslims. These are the words from mosque planner Daisy Khan,“It’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims.” Oh the tolerance from the Muslim Daisy Khan who cannot accept that people actually might object, not to the practice of the Muslim religion, but to the building of a mosque so close to Ground Zero.

So this is the tolerance and compassion that we can expect? Nice PR Daisy, where did you get your lessons from BP Oil?

A leader of a planned Muslim community center near Manhattan’s Ground Zero compared opposition to the project to the persecution of Jews, in comments that could add to the controversy over the center’s proposed site.

“We are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized antisemitism,” said Daisy Khan, who is spearheading the project with her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. “It’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims.”

Mosque near Ground Zero: HAMAS Leader Mahmoud al-Zahar Says ‘Have to build it’ … Agrees with President Obama

Hamas and Obama agree that is is ok to “build it”. Who ever thought we would see the day where a US President and Hamas agreed on the same issue?

Hamas did endorse Obama in 2008

A leader of the terror group Hamas seems to agree with US Preisent Barack “Hussein” Obama on the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. Nice, we have a US President actually agreeing with Hamas on issues. So what say Democrats, do you agree with Hamas as well? Hmm? Are Democrats going to go against the majority of the will of the American people who say, although they have the right to build a mosque near Ground Zero, it is in no way right or proper to do so. Isn’t this amazing that we have a US President now agreeing with “terror organizations” rather than the will of the American people. A group that is deemed a terror group by the United States State department. UNBELIEVABLE!

A leader of the Hamas terror group yesterday jumped into the emotional debate on the plan to construct a mosque near Ground Zero — insisting Muslims “have to build” it there.

“We have to build everywhere,”said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas and the organization’s chief on the Gaza Strip.

“In every area we have, [as] Muslim[s], we have to pray, and this mosque is the only site of prayer,” he said on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on WABC.

Where are the coward Democrats who refuse to respond to the mosque being built near Ground Zero? It is no longer a local issue, President Barck Hussein Obama saw fit to make it a national issue by discussing it Friday night.

Just as an aside, Obama has claimed that he was not speaking as to whether it was right to build the mosque near Ground Zero, but instead that they had the freedom of religion right to do so through the purchase of private property. Just curious Mr. Obama, if you believe that philosophy then you would also believe that it was ok for Muslims to build o mosque on Ground Zero as well. Answer the question Mr. President!

Democrats and Obama, think the mosque near Ground Zero is not going to be a political issue in 2010 and 2012 … think again!
