Veterans ripped a sign that read "The Emperor of Benghazi Has No Clothes" from a protester's hands as a group gathered for President Barack Obama's speech on veterans' issues in Pittsburgh.

The tussle occurred as the president spoke to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars about stressing the need to honor soldiers' service.

The sign was a reference to the September 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya which resulted in the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

The events of 09/11 happened on BushCo's watch.
Why don't they ever express their indignance over that?

5. In '04, wingnuts covered my Kerry bumper stickers with Bush stickers at a big VN vet reunion in IN

Some VN vet buddies told me about it after they caught it and removed the Bush stickers. One of those buddies was the guy who, back in the day, headed Vietnam Veterans Against the War for the state of Illinois.
