Liberal vigilantes are on a rampage these days, looking for people to string up, torment and silence. Like pretty much everything else they do, the liberals are targeting the good guys in the white hats and chumming up to the bad guys in the black hats.

As I write this column, protesters with the anti-military liberal group Code Pink are waging campaigns of defamation, vandalism, harassment and intimidation against the United States Marines.

Before this there was Rush Limbaugh, the godfather of the talk radio industry, who had to spend 10 days atomizing the slander against him by the left's sneaky, whiny cowards, because he dared to call out their "phony soldiers" who tell made-up stories about often fictitious military service in the war effort.

The left is engaged in an all-out witch hunt, trying to destroy the careers of those of us who use our microphones in support of American military men and women fighting in the sandbox called Iraq.

Democratic Rep. David Obey made waves when he took to the floor of Congress and attacked conservative, pro-troop talk-radio hosts, saying Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity were no more relevant than Paris Hilton.

Media Matters organized campaigns to have liberals call in and harass local talk-radio stations, demanding that they drop Rush Limbaugh.

I've personally felt my fair share of the heat from the liberal censorship campaign. Media Matters, yes the very same far-left group that waged the smear campaign against Rush Limbaugh, previously wrote to the heads of ABC and the Walt Disney corporations and demanded I be removed from the airwaves at KSFO radio in San Francisco because of my support for the war on terrorism.

(Column continues below)

Their letter read in part:

We are writing to urge ABC/Disney to stop airing the violent hate speech and racist fearmongering of extreme right-wing radio talk-show hosts Melanie Morgan and Brian Sussman on KSFO radio in San Francisco.

Morgan, Sussman and their associates have no right to advocate torture and murder on airwaves that are owned by the American people and licensed to ABC/Disney.

Now the left is attempting to silence the pro-troop movement by accusing us of acts of violence we haven't committed but that they absolutely, positively SPECULATE will happen.

The blogger Spocko – yes he's named after the half-Vulcan "Star Trek" character, Spock; apparently all the cool nicknames based on the movie "War Games" were taken – is trying to get liberals to condemn us for spilling blood against anti-military protesters.

Check out this recent post where he fantasizes about us committing acts of violence:

What Happens the Day After They Spill Blood?

When does inciting violence toward anti-war protesters become real enough to matter?

Does someone have to die? Does getting punched or tackled count?

If you gather a group of people for the express purpose of "fighting back" against peaceful protesters and someone then is hurt or dies, are the people who used the public airwaves to assemble them responsible?

Are the bosses of those people, who are aware of and encourage these activities, responsible?

See how it works, folks? Speculate about the possibility of violence by the war-mongering right-wing neo-con talk-show hosts and their supporters, and attempt to start an advertiser boycott based on ludicrous assumptions, and then try to create a media-frenzy over words never spoken.

As irritating as these efforts to silence conservative radio talk-show hosts are, they pale in comparison to the injustice being committed against our military by the liberal left.

In the San Francisco Bay Area there's been an active campaign to chase out the U.S. military.

Local governments banned Jr. ROTC from schools; the city of San Francisco prohibited the Marines from filming a commercial in the streets if Marines would be in attendance; an airplane full of Marines returning from Iraq to Oakland International Airport were classified as cargo and prohibited from being allowed in the passenger terminal because of disdain for the military; an effort was made to ban the Blue Angels from flying overhead during Fleet Week because the super-skilled pilots are deemed too militaristic.

Now the rabid anti-military organization Code Pink has vandalized the local Marine recruiting office in Berkeley, Calif. They're staging vigils at the recruiting center where they harass new recruits, deface the building and insult the staff. They called Capt. Richard Lund of the office "a traitor" – an insult reminiscent of MoveOn.org's attack on Gen. David Petraeus as "General Betray Us."

When the radical left marches in the streets dressed like prostitutes in Code Pink's Pepto Bismol get-ups, shouting that children are dying because our military lies, that's A-OK – according to liberals and the news media. (Oh wait, "liberals and the news media" is redundant!)

But you can't have true patriots who love and respect the men and women who serve and protect our rights, including our freedom of speech, assembling to show their support. That's dangerous. They should be stopped before they turn violent.

That's the asinine sentiment by those who are trying to shut down talk radio and first silence, and then destroy, our military.

My response to the intimidators is this: Go. To. Hell.

We are not afraid of you, or your thuggish tactics.

We're going to stand toe-to-toe against the ugliest elements of the anti-war left and show them what we think of their vitriolic anti-American and anti-military hate speech.

Next Wednesday, Oct. 17, we will gather outside the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in Berkeley for a positive, proud and patriotic counter-demonstration to the traitorous actions (yes, I just accused them of treason) of Code Pink and their liberal, anti-military supporters.

If you're not too busy watching re-runs of "Star Trek" or popping "War Games" into your VCR, I'd love for you to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me and countless other pro-troop and pro-veteran organizations including The America First Foundation, EaglesUp and Gathering of Eagles.
