Islamic leaders and peace groups are criticizing the California National Guard for a flier posted in its headquarters suggesting the United States execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood to deny them entry to heaven.
The flier attributed the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.
"Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq?" the flier stated. It was posted outside a cubicle in the Guard's Civil Support Division.
A second flier showed the wings and tail of a bomber forming a peace sign with the slogan, "Peace the old fashioned way."
Also posted was a cartoon from a Web site showing a Red Crescent ambulance stuffed with weapons and a caricature that looks like the late-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unloading the weapons.
Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Doug Hart at first defended the postings to the San Jose Mercury News, which reported them Tuesday, but Hart later said they had been removed.
Peace activists spotted the fliers during a tour last week.
The tour came after peace groups and a state senator questioned whether a new Guard unit had been formed to spy on U.S. citizens and had monitored a Mother's Day anti-war rally. A federal investigation of the allegations is underway.
"It's troubling to see a governmental organization dedicated to the security of our country promoting culturally and religiously insensitive ideas," said William Youmans, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."
Sure, I understand why some people feel these posters are insensitive. However, what freedom-loving American is offended that our military is mocking the sworn enemies of our country? Oh, I guess I just answered my own question. I guess you just can't talk any sense into some people, even Americans.
What really gets me is the allegation that a newNational Guard unit was formed to monitor demonstrators. Of all the NWO conspiracy theories to come out of Hippyland....
Our National Guard units have their hands full as it is, not to mention that the FBI and other federal intelligence agencies would be the ones with the scope and resources necessary to perform such operations. My grandfather infiltrated and monitoredAmerican Communist groups during the Vietnam War, and I can tell you he was a lot deeper inside the government that the part-timers of the National Guard.
Maybe the peaceniks should go protest over there too....to you know, spread the love?
I suppose it's okay to them thatsome fundalmentalist raghead piece of $#!+ can practice bayonetting on a burlap sack with a cross painted on it. It's not a religious symbol, just a target they might say. Yeah right [:@]

I always find it interesting how liberals want to restrict others' freedoms because they disagree with them.
I would use a different word than '"interesting".. You from Cal......me from Wa.....we get to see MORE than our share of them. Anti hunters, Anti gun, Enviro-whackos,... the legislate to eutopia types-never met a new law they didn't love.

Ah, yes. I have some mentally unstable in-laws there. Sometimes it seems the whole west coast is out to lunch. It'll take a tofu shortage crisisor federally mandated bathing to clear the lefties out that political rat's nest.
Could that have possibly been any worse than some of the posters I've seen from the WW2 era that had charactures of the Axis leaders looking goofy ? This PC crap has finally gone around the bend , who gives a schitt if a memo like that offends , I find senseless slaughter perpetrated by them far more offensive . Somebody needs to grow up .

Yes, the "Slap a ***!" poster comes to mind.
War is hell, and the sooner we stop coddling the enemy, they sooner we can finish destroying them and getting back to normal life.
