IVAW oozing with moral authority
These guys appear to be negative attention seeking schoolyard punks…and they’re oozing, all right.
Jonathan Dewald of IVAW put up a blog on blogsnot devoted to “chickenhawks”-you know the meme–if you’ve never served you don’t have the moral authority THEY have! They ’served’ (whatever that means) - so they have every right to attack the Commander-In-Chief and Bush’s “illegal war for oil!”
It’s there that Dewald threatens girls, takes on Denis Keohane, and pumps up his muscles with testosterone-starved unhingedness just at the very thought of the Gathering of Eagles descending upon their little Winter Soldier “Investigation”. It reminds me of the overreaction there was to the motoons. Are these IVAWtards disturbed that their Bush Derangement Syndrome party where they will be protesting Bush’s ‘illegal war’ is going to be under scrutiny? That people who love our country instead of hate it - are going to be there?
Well gee. Many of the folks that Dewaldo is attacking aren’t even members of GOE. (Actually, I don’t know what it is they’re crying about - it’s not only GOE that will be there in numbers…it will be a gathering of a number of organizations including Eagles Up!, Move America Forward, Rolling Thunder, Band of Mothers, Vets for Freedom, and more.)
But…I have to admit I get a kick out of the Sniper’s rebuttle to Where’s Dewaldo’s email where he claims the gmail address isn’t his… and then if you do a search on myspace for the gmail address that isn’t his, it takes you right to the Milwaukee chapter’s myspace page for IVAW.
I just have to wonder why it is that they’re having such a meltdown over the GOE…today’s only Monday.
Then…Evan Michael Knappenberger ratchets it up a notch-with his threat to blow things up.
The only similarity between Knappenberger and my son is - they were both at Taji at one point.
Evan Michael Knappenberger, another one of IVAW’s super duper macho men-was at Taji as a Specialist. I don’t know what his standing is with IVAW, all I know is he’s not coming across as someone with an IQ very far above 4.

Update: Justin at Right on the Right– noticed that Knappenberger has responded to all the attention he’s been getting:

This stupidity all by itself should compel bloggers to throw together clothes, cameras, videocams, and laptops-and get a quick roundtrip ticket to this event straight away! This will be a helluva a photo and video opportunity–to expose exactly what it is we’re dealing with here!
These guys are better than an episode of “Real World”….but very similar in terms of the maturity factor.
Another winner is Clifton Hicks, whose CO called him a bitch (because he is one, obviously)…you’ve got to read these…and look for the pictures of this guy. He reminds me of John Kerry bringing his video camera over to Vietnam with him in order to take pictures of himself in the wrong uniform.

How One IVAW Member Really Feels About the Troops - UPDATED
I’m going to go over this stuff more carefully since there is so much of it…they have buried/destroyed their credibility factor already, and “Winter Soldier” hasn’t even started.

From the looks of these people, I suspect most would run and hide if they ever saw an actual bomb. I’m pretty sure none would have the guts to actually use one against other people.

What a bunch of psychotic halftards. I wonder how much George Soros is paying young men to pose as soldiers, lie and badmouth our government, these days????

I’m not so sure about that, Ogre–recalling the Seattle Riots against the World Trade organization. If you think about the kind of violent attacks Earth First and other eco terrorist groups are a part of - they may be freaks, but they are by no means cowards.
Knappenberger was convicted in 2004 threatening someone with bodily harm. It is pointed out to me by fellow bloggers that ‘wobblies’ were violent anarchists–members of the IWW -International World Workers -an anarcho socialist organization that committed terrorist attacks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
All indications are -he is involved in violent actions. But if we raise awareness there in Milwaukee, we’ll increase the odds that he will be caught delivering on one of his ‘promises’. Hopefully that will be BEFORE he hurts someone…
You know, MOM, I never thought about these guys being paid to do this stuff…it certainly is possible!
