I'm still trying to figure out why there are so many protesters there bitching about climate change, starvation and all other sorts of bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with a multinational military alliance based on collective security and mutual defense.   

You were singing a different tune when these clowns were camping out in lower Manhattan. 

That's different.  NATO > Wall Street.

My revolutionary brothers and sisters are barking up the wrong tree this weekend.

I mean, look at that photo Citizen K posted;  WTF is a rainbow cocksucker flag doing there, and what's it got to do with NATO?

[Ed Anger]

That photo needs a cluster munition opening up above their heads.

Yeah, maybe they're the only ones with a bona fide reason to be there.  MAYBE.

Fuck em. Reactivate them and stop loss them to HELL.

National Nurses United, a coalition of nurses unions that held a rally earlier Friday in Chicago calling for a transaction tax on Wall Street.

WTF HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH MULTINATIONAL COMSEC/TRANSEC VLF INTEGRATION, LADIES

My guess would be that in part the summit provides visibility for their protests, even though NATO has little or nothing to do directly with their issues/causes.

The usual hateful malcontents.

Soldiers do not have the right to give medals back. They represent recognition by the government on behalf of the people they represent. To hand that medal back is to spit in the eye of every American man, woman, and child.

They usually do bark up the wrong tree.

Aren't those the same helmets they wore when they had to crack some hippie heads in '68?
