5/22/2012 at about 5:10 pm: Oklahoma GOP chairman Matt Pinnell evicted me from HQ bldg shortly after I entered building. This was after he told another republican that National non-delegates could enter building with video cameras. Apparently Pinnell & others in the building were shocked that I showed up. Pinnell indicated it was a private club, even though Im a card carrying republican since 1973 when I 1st joined Army during Vietnam War. Pinnell went so far as to ask me if I needed help in leaving building. I guess I was not moving fast enough. I went back to parking lot & told Conservative slate delegates & Paul supporters what happened. They were shocked. After Ron Paul folks got their cameras & live feed gear charged up about 20 minutes later they all (about 70 of them) marched down to the GOP headquarters & Pinnell did not say a word about the cameras nor about non-executive member delegates. Everybody (including me) got inside building for conservative slate caucus in another meeting room in the building.
I dont know why Pinnell had the nerve to mess w/me. But I’m not going to stand idly by & let him and any other personnel at Oklahoma GOP prejudice me as payback for me not prejudicing Ron Paul folks. If he has a problem with me not prejudicing Ron Paul folks, then he better get over it real quick.
The address of the Oklahoma GOP Headquarters where all this occurred is: 4031 N Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK

Here is a Memorial Day Outrage coming of course from MSNBC:
‘Come Up With a More Neutral Term’: MSNBC Panel Debates Using the Word ‘Hero’ To Describe Fallen Soldiers
MSNBC is not known as a network that sympathizes with the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, but this Memorial Day weekend, rather than put aside their political differences to salute our men and women in uniform, a panel on Chris Hayes’ show instead engaged in a debate over how to refer to our fallen soldiers.
Specifically, the panel debated over using words like “hero” because– in their words– the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t “worthy” causes.
Chris Hayes introduces the issue:
“I feel uncomfortable about the word ‘hero’ because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that…”
John McWhorter of the New York Daily News continued: “…I would almost rather not say ‘hero’ and come up with a more neutral term…I share your
discomfort with those words because they are argumentational strategies in themselves, often without wanting to be.”
Michelle Goldberg of the Daily Beast, who recently compared Ann Romney to Hitler and Stalin on the same network, added: “There are people who are genuine heroes, but the kind of implication is that death is what makes you a hero, you know as opposed to any kind of affirmative act or moral act…”
After reassuring that there is honor and valor in the military, Goldberg said: “It’s more just that, it’s a way of ennobling sacrifices that have a lot of nobility for the individual, but to say that someone kind of died heroically suggests that they died worthily, or that they died in the pursuit of a worthy endeavor…” [Emphasis added]
