Scott Olsen is the Marine Corps veteran critically injured at Occupy Oakland Tuesday night, during a confrontation between the protesters and the police. The latest news is good: his condition has been upgraded from critical to fair and he is apparently conscious and able to respond to doctors and family members. I sincerely wish him a full recovery, and I also hope that a proper investigation is conducted to determine whether police misconduct is responsible for his injuries. But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper. The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps. Prediction: Attempts to portray this 'useful idiot' as a patriotic marine will fall flat.

17.5% alcohol by vol. Look for the pigeon feces and you’ll find this old bird. As soon as you taste this swill, it will be obvious that its makers cut every corner possible in its production to make it cheap. Self-proclaimed as “The American Classic,” Thunderbird is vinted and bottled by E. & J. Gallo Winery, in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by “Thunderbird, Ltd.” Anyways, if your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then “T-bird” is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage drinking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum. A convenience store clerk in Show Low, AZ once told me that only the oldest of stumbling Indian drunks from the reservation buy Thunderbird. Available in 750 mL and a devastating 50 oz jug. The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become “the Campbell Soup Company of the wine industry” so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio ads featured a song that sang, “What’s the word? / Thunderbird / How’s it sold? / Good and cold / What’s the jive? / Bird’s alive / What’s the price? / Thirty twice.” It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, “What’s the word?” the immediate answer from the bum was, “Thunderbird.” WARNING: This light yellow liquid turns your lips and mouth black! A mysterious chemical reaction similar to disappearing-reappearing ink makes you look like you’ve been chewing on hearty clumps of charcoal. https://readreidread.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/bum-wines/ Hey, you made the cut as one of the top five bum wines; who are we to argue with credentials like that? ;-D
Consider this thread a public service announcement to any Marines who might feel sympathy for this leftist tool.

Then the one percenters ought to create, IN THE US, a few more of those jobs they brag about being solely responsible for.
...Said the FReeper tool. I very much had a love hate relationship with the military. I served nine years that comprised of active enlistment, attached to active duty component and service training school time. And I did four years as mobilization day personnel as part timers in the Guard and reserve are called technically. I wanted to do twenty years, but I gave it up after Panama convinced me my then Commander in Chief, GHW Bush was the head of a crime family that never should of gotten into the White House. You'd be surprised, many people like this former Marine not only have a painful love/hate relationship with the Corp; they also go back in. much like people fight, divorce, and then remarry. Face it, you are trying to spin this politically to try to discredit the legitimate anger and focus of the OWS movement counting on being able to play on the perspective of the many out there who never served. Nice try, but you will find that people are smarter then you think.
In this age of illegal aliens - anchor babies ... violent revolutionaries - terrorism - street criminals --- you would think the POLICE - public would rise - wake up !
