COBDanny at Crotchety Old Bastard<\/a> sent me this story of Mutha Sheehan’s latest attempt at throwing the spotlight on herself<\/a>;<\/p>\n

At the School of the Assassins in Columbus, GA and in Charlotte, NC, we ran into similar problems: police presence that seemed to be there to foster violence. At both places the neo-Nazi, pro-war fascist group “Gathering of Eagles” came out to mostly try to intimidate us from our mission. At Ft. Benning, after we complained, the police kept them separate from us, but in Charlotte, the police refused saying that the Eagles had their rights to “freedom of speech.” But the Eagles’ freedom of speech has included physical threats against me and actual physical force against kids and women. When the Charlotte police were told this, they said that they couldn’t keep them apart from our group until the Eagles actually did something. So I chose to stay away from the rally rather than going and perhaps cause them to hurt someone else because of my presence. Freedom of speech is one thing, but I don’t believe the First Amendment protects violent speech, especially if it is one of the neocons or their media supporters calling for increased violence in the Middle East.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess we should forgive her for emboldening the Islamofacists who continue to kill our troops – all for the sake of her free speech. And I’m sure calling the Gathering of Eagles Nazis and neocons will certainly make them much less violent, you pustule on the backside of humanity. Oh, did you know your heartthrob, Hugo Chavez, was a graduate of the School of the Americas – dumbass.<\/p>\n

The Gathering of Eagles’ blog<\/a> tells a different story in Charlotte;<\/p>\n

Sheehan, one of the best-known opponents of the war in Iraq, stayed in her car during the antiwar rally at Bryant Park that drew about 125 people.<\/p>\n

Instead of addressing the crowd \u00e2\u20ac\u201d some of her supporters said there was concern about her safety \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Sheehan moved to Talley\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Green Grocery in Dilworth.<\/p>\n

In a police memo dated July 19, Capt. Doug Gallant, who reviewed and evaluated the event in Bryant Park, said he was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153quite frankly, surprised there have been complaints\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The police memo says the 14 officers on hand noticed no displays that violated North Carolina law. One protester began using profanity, the memo says, and an officer asked the person to stop cursing.<\/p>\n

The memo also says that police didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to bring in physical barriers, like bike racks, to keep the groups away from each other. At one point, Sheehan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s security advisor said she had concerns about the Gathering of Eagles, and officers asked the group to move back, creating a buffer of at least 25 feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imagine that, Sheehan was scared of people who disagree with her. The truth can be frightening, can’t it? It must’ve broken her shriveled little heart to ask the facist police to protect her from the Nazis. It’s been my experience that the Gathering of Eagles guys are law abiding citizens who wouldn’t harm a fly – unless manhandled by the wrong people – true Americans in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n
