Woman Spits In Soldier's Face

[jasendorf]

I don't think it has anything to do with politics and a WHOLE LOT to do with manners. I don't care who it was nor who they claimed to be representing .... the act showed a complete lack of class, IMO.

Well, let's look at the comments on the page from which this came from:

This was also on John Gibson's on Fox. This may be an isolated nutcake, but the lefties will no doubt be emboldened by the election an incidents like this could increase. It is not a bit more tolerable now than it was in the Vietnam era.

I wonder who she voted for in 2004.

She may be a campaign worker for either Murtha or Pelosi. Sounds like their type of nut case.

IS there anyway we can send a card of appreciation to this young soldier...I AM FUMING that the liberal ASSHOLES are starting their 1960 crap again. Sorry for the rant, but we must fight fire with fire and this young soldier must have been totally shocked and hurt. Probably thinks the WHOLE country feels this way. C'MON freepers I know we can find an address or some way to send him a CARD of support!! GET ON WITH IT!!

Typical damn Liberal/Progressive

How can anyone be surprised by this behavior? It's being actively encouraged by the Democratic Party. Senators Dick Durbin, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are three of the worst (but not the only) offenders purposely fueling hatred for our military personnel solely for their own political gain. And anyone who publicly supports the likes of Cindy Sheehan is just as guilty as this woman who did the spitting.

And... from posts on THIS VERY THREAD:

She probably voted for Kerry

We all know how libs feel about the "uneducated" members of the military

And... as for class... how about this comment:

The one that REALLY needs to be spit on here is YOU, dirtbag.

You unwittingly supported her decision to spit in a soldiers face. By being demeaning to the Commander in Chief...

So all the people who talked smack about Bill Clinton when he was President supported spitting in soldier's faces? He was Commander in Chief too.

I'm not really looking for context. I consider it just as much a class-less act by a right wingnut as I do a left wingnut, or just a general all around apolitical wingnut.

If the spitter was a dyed-in-the wool, proven beyond a shadow of a doubt Republican, my opinion remains unchanged.

As far as my opinion of mattskramer goes .... it's hardly a secret. However, I will give you that I chose my words poorly in reaction to the post. I have not ever, and don't envision a time when I will spit on another person.

I do not consider pysically assulting another person in any manner a means to expressing one's opinion, as just as has happened in this instance, the message has been lost behind the reprehensible means in which it was delivered.

I posted this article and my comment on a couple other forums, and got some interesting replys/comments. Some had me scratching my head. There were some semi-apologists for this woman, and other's wanted more background. Many resented any connection to a political "bent" or "anti-war" connection being inferred.

I know that we all have differing views on the war or any wars with some folks, but I really think that this is a sad commentary on a lot of folks, and how they view our military folks that "answer the call" regardless of their personal feelings might be.

I also give the soldier a lot of credit for keep his, "cool", and letting the proper authorities handle this "assault".

Hopefully this gal wasn't Hepatitus A, B, or C, positive.

Woman Spits in Soldier's Face

Syracuse radio station WFBL reports that Lauren Maggi, 35, of Thurber Street was charged with harassment for spitting in a soldier's face at Hancock Airport.

The incident happened over the Thanksgiving holiday. Maggi approached a soldier from the 10th Mountain Division, who apparently was not in uniform, and asked if he was a soldier. When he said yes, Maggi allegedly spit in his face.

WFBL's news service is supplied by television station WTVH, which has nothing posted yet about the incident on its website. Syracuse.com carries this blurb:

• Woman accused of spitting on soldier A Syracuse woman was charged after a Fort Drum soldier accused her of spitting on him without provocation at Hancock Airport, Syracuse police said.

On January 18 of this year, Lauren Maggi, 34, of Thurber Street, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Someone tell me again about how the Left supports the troops, but not their mission.

Update: More details:

Jason Jones, 21, told police a woman he did not know walked up to him near the United Airlines ticket counter, asked him if he was a Fort Drum solider and, when he responded that he was, spat in his face.

Police searched the airport garage and located a woman fitting the description that Jones provided, who was later identified as Maggi. Police escorted her into the terminal, where Jones identified her as the woman who had spit on him. A second soldier on the scene supported Jones' accusation, police said.

Maggi offered no explanation for her conduct, police said. She could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

Any corroboration of that story? You know, beyond the fact that some freeper says it's so?

 

[Bullypulpit]

Didn't think so.

A lot's happened since the story broke Bully, you gotta read the whole thread, not just the first post.

Even Bully was fooled by this freep story into believing that it was some liberal protestor...

...just to catch you up to speed, it was a Bush-voting Republican spit in a soldier's face. Suddenly, it was no longer news.

 

[Psychoblues]

Exactly, jasendorf. I commented much earlier in this thread about that and it has not been addressed at all.

These Faux News and Rush Limpdick addicts cannot get beyond their own imaginations.

Wow! How presumptuous and incorrect can you be?! Jane Fonda was a citizen voicing her opposition to the Vietnam War. The soldier was a citizen serving in the military. No, I don’t support the act of spitting in either case.

Wrong, we have photos of her sitting IN North Vietnam manning a weapon system used to kill American servicemen and women. THAT is treason.

My Uncle was an Army Lt. aboard Fort Lewis and had the displeasure of being on duty and having to carry her sorry ASS out of a barracks there one day. My father was a NCO and SNCO in the Army and served 2 tours in Vietnam, being wounded and nearly dieing on the second tour. Jane Fonda is SCUM. As is Kerry and his ilk.

But NO I wouldn't waste my time spitting in her face. She is not worth the waste of good body fluids.
