I just received this email. Don't know if it was already posted, but it's too important to ignore. You know what happened when Guliani tried smearing Ron Paul during the debates.. They should know better than to get us mad again! ;) Please read and then let's start SHOVING BACK!!:


This is a follow-up to the smear campaign now underway against Adam Kokesh by tools of the GOP establishment associated with the Swift Boat campaigns of the past. This is for Adam's War Room. It's 24x7 now and all out to defend Adam. Use whatever you can use in this post to compose emails to your own networks. Copy and paste,edit tailor, whatever. We need to hit back, hard, now. Let's light up the Internet.

Among the signers of the "Open Letter to "Liberty" Candidates" (yes they put "Liberty" in quotes) is the "Gathering of Eagles," better-known as the Smattering of Pigeons. The decision to go negative on Kokesh is a sign that the GOP establishment is worried. Who does the GOP establishment enlist to do its dirty work? A group which once attacked and physically assaulted Gold Star father Carlos Arredondo for his anti-war views, throwing him to the ground and kicking and beating him. If you believe and are swayed by the smears against Kokesh, this is the company you will be keeping.

The assault was famously captured in photographs by bystanders during a Washington DC peace march when the Smattering of Pigeons, who always show up to harass peaceful anti-war protests, simply could not tolerate the American tradition of the First Amendment Right to Free Speech. They attacked Arredondo and his memorial to his son Alex who was slain in Iraq. The famous photo of Arredondo being kicked and beaten by the Smattering of Pigeons is here:

The entire photo essay of the attack is posted here:

Wiki summary on Carlos Arredondo here:

The man in the beret and sunglasses is Chris Hill, the National Director of the Smattering of Pigeons who attack grieving 50-year-old men who disagree with them. He is the main poster of articles at the GoE website, under his own name:

To show his appreciation for these Brown Shirt/Gestapo tactics for intimidating people with opposing opinions, George W. Bush hosted the Smattering of Pigeons at a White House breakfast just 3 days after the attack on Arredondo:

Arredondo made national news when, in shock upon being informed of his son's death in Iraq, he set himself on fire. According to a report in the Portland Press-Herald:

"When three Marines came to their Florida home to notify them [Carlos and his wife, Mélida Arredondo] of Alex's death, Carlos Arredondo went into his garage and came out with a propane tank, a gallon of gasoline and a welder's torch. He got in the Marines' van and set it on fire while he was sitting inside. They pulled his burning body out of the van and saved him, but Arredondo was severely burned. He attended Alex's wake, funeral Mass and graveside service on a stretcher, attended by two paramedics, according to his wife."

If you have received an email smearing Adam Kokesh from americanpatriotsagainstkokesh@gmail.com aka Susan Wolf, keep in mind that this email address is being used by Larry Bailey, of the Smattering of Pigeons and Veterans for Truth (the Swift Boat affinity group) as can be seen when the email address is run through a search engine which comes up with this link:

Bailey was the president of Vietnam Veterans for Truth which which followed up on Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the 2004 presidential election:

The tactic of smear, fear, distortion and lies shows the GOP establishment is terrified that a true maverick and fearless American patriot like Adam Kokesh can win his election. Once you win a seat on the House floor, that member has the right to stand and speak his mind at the podium before national TV. Adam is not bought, and that scares the hell out of them. To further illustrate who we are dealing with, with the Smattering of Pigeons, the group openly admires Blackwater and defends it killing of civilians in Iraq, and calls them "our favorite security firm:

If you have received the smear campaign email from americanpatriotsagainstkokesh@gmail.com, it is a sign you should redouble your support for Adam Kokesh. The GOP establishment does not bother with these tactics unless there is a threat to them. The easiest way is to simply ignore someone who does not stand a chance. They do this when someone does. Adam Kokesh: The real patriot. Don't believe thugs who physically kick, punch and beat grieving Gold Star fathers for having a different opinion.

Please try to keep this thread bumped for the next few days.

Apparently I'm not on the neocon mailing lists, because I didn't get anything from them.
