Like Bluto over at The Jawa Report (also at The Dread Pundit Bluto), I was going to skip most blogging, ‘cept for some fun stuff. But, I came across this, via Joneill, who wants everyone to see it. I appologize if anyone else has blogged it, never saw it:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A local soldier back from the war in Iraq said he was beaten at an area concert because of what was printed on his T-shirt, NBC 4‘s Nancy Burton reported.
Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple Heart for his military service in Iraq. He almost lost his leg last month after a Humvee he was riding in ran over a landmine.
Barton said he was injured again Friday night in a crowded parking lot as he was leaving the Toby Keith concert at Germain Amphitheatre. The solider was injured so badly that he can’t go back to Iraq as scheduled.
"I don’t remember getting hit at all, really," said Barton, a member of the 1st Calvary Division. "He hit me in the back of the head. I fell and hit the ground. I was knocked unconscious and he continued to punch and kick me on the ground."
Barton and his family said he was beat up because he was wearing an Iraqi freedom T-shirt.
According to a Columbus police report, six witnesses who didn’t know Barton said the person who beat him up was screaming profanities and making crude remarks about U.S. soldiers, Burton reported.
Well, gee, I thought the Lefty Surrender Monkey’s "loved the troops, hate Bush." Time and time again, they prove they lie like a cheap prayer rug.
Umm… what are leftie moonbats doing at a Toby Keith concert?
Hell, I’m sure Toby himself would have came out and whipped someone’s ass for that personally.
