UPDATED: See Below**WARNING - POST CONTAINS EXPLETIVES**
Melanie Morgan has posted a link to a video that shows the true nature of the liberal Left in this nation. If you want to see it,
click here, but be forewarned, what you will see will not just make you sick, your blood will boil.
The video shows a blogger by the name of Michael Crook in a cemetery containing the graves of military members, whom he calls "so-called heroes." Crook brags about standing on the grave of one of them. According to Mel, Crook spits on one of the graves of a dead shoulder. I personally didn't make it that far, because after barely a minute of watching this little piece of shit desecrate the graves of service members I almost put my fist through the monitor.
After doing some searching on the web, it appears Michael Crook is like many of the phony soldiers who appear in IVAW or other anti-military organizations, he has a chip on his shoulder against the military. Why? A blog called
Something...and Half of Something states that Crook tried to get into the army and as far back as 1999 wrote essays which contradict the vicious troop hater he is today.
According to the blog mentioned above:
"...the army didn't want him (Crook). Yep, he washed out of boot camp on a medical discharge. Either that, or he had a little legal problem that disqualified him from service. Depends on which of his stories you decide to believe.
So, now the pathetic little putz has a grudge against the military, do you suppose he was feeling a little inadequate?
Appears so, and, it appears that Mike's demented way of dealing with his inadequacies is his pathetic and disgusting attack on our brave soldiers who are out there defending America, doing what he is unable to do.
...In 1999 under the name Silent Mike, Michael Crook wrote two essays about the United States Military and posted them on his website. There were discrepancies in the two stories, contradictions about why the army ultimately rejected his commission, in one essay Mike claims medical problems and in the other... some sort of legal problem. The truth about his discharge may never be known.
I originally quoted directly from Michael Crook's essays that were hosted directly on Michael Crook's website, but in October of 2006, my host received a demand from Michael Crook to remove the quotes as they violated his copyright. Michael Crook specifically addressed the quotes that I attributed to him in my
post.
Michael Crook did not say what I posted here were not his words. He specifically admitted that they were his words posted on his website and he demanded that they be removed from my website.
Michael Crook obviously does not want the world to know that what he wrote in 1999 as it completely contradicts the things he says today and he is scouring the web to remove any and all references to those essays.
...In those essays, Michael Crook talked about how countless men and women have served given valuable service in all branches of the U.S. Military. He talked about what a privilege he thought it was to salute the flag and he talked about feeling pride and respect when he saluted a military officer. Michael Crook wrote about how he felt sad because he didn't get to finish his training and that he felt jealous of those who did. In those essays, Michael Crook claimed that he stopped those who were serving when he saw them to remind them of what a privilege it is to serve this country. In his essays, he urged the reader to look beyond the day off from work that we get on Veterans Day and Memorial Day and to remember those who have served.
So because Crook has a resentment that his ambition didn't get fulfilled, he takes it out on graves of deceased soldiers. Does this selfish little bastard ever stop to think about anyone else but himself? The person under that grave is someone's son, husband, father, grandfather or whoever. The person in that grave means or meant something special to someone else.
This desecration of military graves is part of a bigger problem, the lack of respect shown to the military by people either with axes to grind or political agendas. Despite the liberals claims that they "support the troops but not the mission," deep down to the core, that is a lie because it is oxymoronic. The Left hates the military and has for the last 40 years. It's just that throwing blood, feces or spitting at servicemen and calling them "baby killers" in Vietnam wasn't good PR, so they had to wrap their hate in faux support of the military. You see it in the propaganda of people like Code Pinko. If you support the military, why protest outside a hospital where these men and women are being treated?
It doesn't help when you have Democrat politicians uttering the worst slander towards those who've volunteered to serve this nation, calling them "cold blooded killers," "Nazis, Soviets in the Gulags or some mad regime, like Pol Pot." They've been accused of being "high tech bullies," "killing civilians" in Afghanistan, "ethnically cleansing" Iraq. Murtha, Durbin, Biden, Obama and Moran, as well as Kennedy, Stark and several others have waged slurs against our military reminiscent of some 1960's hippie scum waiting for military members to deboard an airplane. What happens when some deranged left-wing loon hears that garbage and similar extreme rhetoric at a Code Pinko, World Can't Wait or International ANSWER rally. They take their anger out on war memorials, graves or attack recruiting centers. Some scum, like what happened
during a Cindy Sheehan appearance at Fresno State in 2006, taunt the families of fallen soldiers.
And they claim they "support the troops?" No they don't!
UPDATE: Remember Joshua Sparling, the injured soldier at Walter Reed Army Medical Center who received a card which read "I hope you die"? Michael Crook was the sender.
Michelle Malkin noted that Crook bragged about it on his website, saying:
"For those that have e-mailed or IM’d me regarding the card sent to Joshua Sparling, yes I did it. I do not regret a minute of it."
