In no way are making a PR event out of Cindy Sheehan's loss. This is a pro troops rally and we have had Cindy Sheehan on KWTX-AM last Monday to voice her cause. Thanks for your response. We welcome everyones opinion on this matter.

Subject: Your radio station is despicable

You make a PR event out of a mother of a dead soldiers grief. You are
everything that is wrong with this country. I hope some real Fort Hood
soldiers show up at your event and tell exactly how proud they are to
have served with Casey Sheehan. You are pig filth.

===============

Well you heard it, he welcomes all opinions on the subject... I think he needs a few more.

4. Ask this twit if there's any particular reason why...
... they choose to have it this particular Saturday in Crawford? They've never held one in Crawford in August before, and Bush has been in Crawford every August since his inauguration. You might check and see if they've ever done anything like this in the past at all, anywhere, at any time.

Juxtaposition often isn't accidental.

I can't believe you are holding a rally to support the troops 'against' Cindy Sheehan. Have you no shame? This is a grieving mother who is trying to end the suffering and loss of life in Iraq. That is more 'pro-troops' than anything you could dream up.

It is disgusting that you are turning this into a political event. Even George Allen, R-VA stated that Bush should meet with Cindy Sheehan. She deserves an answer as to why if this is such a noble cause the twins and any other relatives of Congress members aren't over there.

If you support the war, enlist. Walk the walk. Cindy is a grieving mom and you are scrutinizing everything she is doing and not even questioning the lies of the pResident of the White House. (who, by the way, has had more vacation than any other President in the history of this county) How dare he take 'vacation' while American kids and Iraqi innocents are dying?

He is despicable, but so are you for allowing this corrupt administration to color your perspective so badly that you are willing to throw a grieving mom to the lions.

Kudos. You suck.

6. Thanks for the address. My little note to him:
"Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

This is a grieving mother wanting answers on why her son died. You and people like you are beating up on a grieving mother...feel better? And don't write back and say this is a pro-troops rally, that is just a cover your a** story and America is going to see through it.

I hope you invite military recruiters so everyone that supports the war can sign up!"

12. My email is below:
Dear Mr. Armstrong:

Shame on you for holding a rally this Saturday around the time that Cindy Sheehan is requesting a meeting with Bush. Please do not attempt to deceive me; this is certainly no "pro-troops" rally. This is a pro-Bush rally, and nothing more.

If you wish to support the troops, cancel your rally, and show your support for Cindy. If Bush meets with her, and provides an explanation for this unjust, illegal, immoral and unnecessary war, THAT will help the troops - at least letting them know completely what the viewpoint of their Commander-in-Chief is.

Maat

29. fantastic idea Goblyn - here's my email to CC corporate
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 06:18 PM by KyndCulture
Mr. Thompson,
I am outraged and offended that this Clear Channel radio station referenced above is holding a public relations stunt and promotional event claiming to be in support of our troops. This station is asking honorable men and women serving our country in a time of war to come to a barbeque to belittle and demean a grieving mother of a dead American Soldier - a soldier who was from this very Army base where KWTX is asking soldiers to join them in their mockery of Cindy Sheehan. I should hope your company does not approve of this behavior from a station bearing your corporate name. It is in poor taste at the very least and at it's worst it is outright war profiteering. Cindy Sheehan and her son Casey paid the ultimate price for this nation and I ask you to intervene on the corporate level and put an end to this travesty of misguided patriotism and greed.

Thank You,

13. Can't you just see Bush, Rove, and the rest of the WHIGS
on a conference call figuring out what the hell they're gonna do with this mess of Cindy Sheehan? There weren't any good options so first they put the lid on any more MSM coverage on TV, then they planned a counter demonstration (so called rally) and ordered the MSM to cover it fully. It's designed to (drumroll please) DISTRACT and divert attention from Cindy's heartwrenching cause and draw the patriotic card with military in attendance to rev people up and forget who and what started this war and the fact that we're losing.

16. and by labelling it as a "pro troops" rally...
the sheep will automatically assume that Cindy's group is "anti-troops"

it's amazing, how this SAME SHIT keeps working, time after time...

17. My small contribution
I figured it was quick and to the point, and highlights the fact (and we all should remember this) that I am a CONSUMER and Cindy is a GOLD STAR MOTHER:

I wrote: Are you insane? Holding a rally to excoriate a GOLD STAR MOTHER??? Have you completely taken leave of your senses?

I have a dial, and I know how to change it.

27. Counter,Counter Protest?
A ""Support the Troops Enlistment Booth" would be a great idea!
Someone should at least be handing out enlistment papers!
Preferably an Iraq War Veteran in uniform!

I wasn't expecting that. When they go out there for their rally, they are going to cause the same reaction in everyone else they did in you. This one can't be explained away that easily.
