Million Vet March Organizers Condemn Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and the Tea Party

The tea party, Sarah Palin, and Ted Cruz tried to hijack the Million Vet March for political and personal gain, and event organizers condemned them for politicizing the march.

According to a message on their website, the problem began when a local DC organizer turned the march into a tea party rally, “The political agenda put forth by a local organizer in Washington DC was not in alignment with our message.

2. Not apolitcal. No one with a working brain cell didn't know who caused the WW2 memorial shut down.

Instead of protesting at the White House and the WW2 memorial, they should have protested the tea baggers in Congress for refusing to fund it.

I'm not buying their white wash of today's events. My folks were in WW2 and they would not have been protesting the lack of access to dead stones when live people are being hurt. They would have been in the offices of the Congressmen who were and are drunk with power and destroying the country to sell off to their foreign and domestic pals.

This is willful blindness and no one should get a pass for it.

Enough!
