After WW II Veterans, with the help of a couple Republican Congress members, broke through the barricades at the National Memorial to visit a place that was created in honor of them, there were threats of arrests if they did it again, because due to the government shutdown, national parks have been closed down. Mark Levin took to his show and laid into Obama with both barrels, threatening to bring half a million people to march on Washington if one WW II veteran was touched.

I want to say this loud and clear to the people on Capitol Hill who are listening, to this administration. You lay one damn hand on one of those World War II vets at that memorial and I’ll bring half a million people to that damn memorial! You got that?!
I’m sitting here stewing thinking about this – playing these damn games? You’ll ignite a movement in this country like you’ve never seen before! The biker patriot army – veterans from all over the country, every single war and battle in this country, Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever!
I’ll be damned if one president, with his feet up on the desk in the oval office, with a smirk on his face, looking at his golf card…I’ll be damned if this president or anybody else is going to shut down that WWII memorial. Period! These men are in their 80s and 90s.
So let me repeat! You lay one hand on one of those men and arrest them for going to their memorial, which they fought for, which was not paid by you dammit, it was paid by the American people – we will come out of every town and city in this nation! We will come out of every county. And both coasts! Both borders! And we will march on Washington against your tyranny!
You’ve been warned!
People across the country have been expressing outrage over Obama’s spiteful closing of the National Memorial when his administration was already fully aware the WW II veterans were scheduled to pay homage.
The outrage has been noted and was obviously effective because the National Park Service spokesperson, Carol Johnson, tweeted that “The Honor Flights are being granted access to the WWII Memorial to conduct 1st Amendment actives in accordance with NPS regulations.”
