I apoligize but I can't cut&paste to provide the link from here at work.

This story really ticks me off

It's all John Kerry's fault.

Here is the story...

COLUMBUSOhio - A local soldier back from the war in Iraq said he was beaten at an area concert because of what was printed on his T-shirt, NBC 4's Nancy Burton reported.

Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple Heart for his military service in Iraq. He almost lost his leg last month after a Humvee he was riding in ran over a landmine.

Barton said he was injured again Friday night in a crowded parking lot as he was leaving the Toby Keith concert at Germain Amphitheatre. The solider was injured so badly that he can't go back to Iraq as scheduled.

"I don't remember getting hit at all, really," said Barton, a member of the 1st Calvary Division. "He hit me in the back of the head. I fell and hit the ground. I was knocked unconscious and he continued to punch and kick me on the ground."

Barton and his family said he was beat up because he was wearing an Iraqi freedom T-shirt.

"It's not our fault," Barton said. "I'm just doing a job."

According to a Columbus police report, six witnesses who didn't know Barton said the person who beat him up was screaming profanities and making crude remarks about U.S. soldiers, Burton reported.

Really sounds to me like a bunch of drunk kickers. I mean,
who else would go to a Toby Keith concert?

I didn't think liberals knew about Toby Keith

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Drunk kickers are behind Bush and are all for kicking the out of foreign problems, not our own troops.

Probably some liberal loon that if asked why would spout a lot of the same tired drivel Dan does here on this site.

He was probably at the concert to protest some of Toby Keith's songs.

It's a shame that politics get in the way of honoring and respecting our troops and even fuels hatred.

[Joe Chalupa]

I concur.

Ask the Dixie Chicks.

?? Would people actually pay to go to a concert to do that? I think TK is an asshole, but you wouldn't find me anywhere near his concert. I hope they find the jerks in question, and charge them with assault, though. Criminal is criminal.

X,

The incident took place in the parking lot, I didn't assume he paid to get in, but I also think if this guy would go to the extreme to beat up a soldier, I don't think he would have a problem paying to protest TK.

BTW, I'm not a big fan of country music so this is all speculation on my part.
