Can someone please explain to me how Cindy is dishonoring her son??
really?? I am seeing these messages (of hate) saying she's dishonoring her son. How so? By fighting to pull out other young men and women who may end up dying? By sparing the grief she is going through to other parents??

I just don't get it.

1. We can't. You'd have to go to a different message board for that.

2. She's simply continuing the "fight for her country" that her
son was doing in Iraq.

3. Her son is no longer her son.
He is the property of a fascist state.

Republicans see this as a property rights issue.

4. Don't bother
It is desperation and distraction. No one sane could really believe that and if they do you cannot waste your precious time trying to convince them. This is a gut thing and if they don't get it then put your energy elsewhere. We need you.........

6. Like Jeremy Glick dishonored his dad who died in WTC?
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 05:48 PM by maveric
Cindy, like Glick isnt buying the bullshit being spread over the heads of americans and she dares to ask the questions that the people who make war and cover up the truth refuse to answer.

11. Excellent comparison. Really.
:thumbsup:

Any parent or child who speaks out is automatically "dishonoring" their loved ones memory. Because, as we all know, freepers automatically know what a dead person would have wanted. Do you think it's because they can relate, being brain dead and all themselves. :shrug:

12. Yes, the parallels between this and the Schiavo thing
are pretty eerie.

Disgusting, actually.

I'm truly disgusted by the comments I'm reading- it's something I won't understand. A mother has just lost a son, how can people be so damn cold??

15. Oopsie. I'm not trying to be dense, but could you explain this
compared to the Schiavo matter? I can see it relating to Jeremy Glick, but I'm afraid I'm being obtuse as to how this relates to Schiavo.

17. I'm talking about the RWingers attitudes towards
LWingers. I'm sorry I was not clear enough- I should have clarified. Mainly what I mean is how the conservatives are throwing stones at the people who bring it to light (ie: Cindy, Michael Schiavo) but are defending the people who making it into an ugly thing (ie: the Schindlers and Bush).

Does that make sense? LOL.

18. I'd stick with the Jeremy Glick comparison - having outsiders tell a
person how they should honor their loved on or how they should grieve. But, I appreciate your point, too.

7. Vile Right-wing spin designed to distract and shore up Bush and repugs
and that is all you need to know.

8. You're in the wrong place.
I don't think you'll find anyone here who disagrees with you (unless it's a lurking freepers).

20. Chill, friend.
I didn't mean for it to come out sounding angry. 'Twas a joke. :)

Sorry if it sounded otherwise.

9. She is honoring all the fallen
Anyone who tells Cindy Sheehan that she is dishonoring her son’s memory or failing to support his comrades in arms just doesn’t get it. She is causing all of us to question the sanity of the idea that you honor the fallen by sending more to die in their place. A government has a right to ask for sacrifice in a just cause but this war is so tainted by lies and deception that calling for more Casey Sheehans to die is obscene. The Bush administration has hidden the coffins of the fallen from the public view but Cindy Sheehan is forcing the country to take a hard look at the reality of all those flag-draped caskets streaming home.

10. It's their talking point
There doesn't have to be any truth or sense behind it. They swallow down the BS spread by the media mouthpieces, and repeat it endlessly.

She's calling * to task for lying and changing stances, trying to keep others from dying. That is honorable. Hardheadedness and ignorance isn't.

14. Because Rush and Bill and Faux said so.
And these freepers are dumb enough to believe everything they are told, even in the abscence of any actual facts to support these wild-ass statements.

16. I can't see it.
No one I've talked to can, either.

I was talking to my mother yesterday, and she said "if you'd been in the military, and gotten killed in Iraq, I'd be out there with her right now." (This from a moderate, 51-year old, middle-class, white-collar professional-type who votes but isn't what I'd call a political activist by any means). Now that it's getting more attention, I won't be surprised to see that there are a LOT of people who feel the same way.

21. I don't even listen to that utter BuShit, let alone answer it!
Why not respond in kind? - "Why do you hate America so much! Only a TRAITOR would say something as unAmerican as that. SHAME ON YOU!!!" ad infintum...

:)
