1. Odd.. Bush's podium resembles a cross.

Thanks for the pics.

[MaggieSwanson]

4. I'm sure the cross podium was unintentional...

:sarcasm:

[Fire Walk With Me]

28. Once again, I should have added the "sarcasm" to my post :-)

[onehandle]

6. Odd.. Rummy resembles a human.

nah...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

69. body snatchers

[madeline_con]

2. Thanks for the pics...

BTW, how come no matter where he goes, Cheney shows up in an inappropriate friggin' jacket?

I wonder what he wore to the memorial service in Saudi Arabia. (?)

[lonestarnot]

9. He has on a flak jacket underneath every coat is my guess.

[Island Blue]

I was wondering that myself today when I saw Cheney in that coat

Is it winter in Crawford? Why is he wearing a parka?

[rateyes]

32. People with poor circulation

get cold very easily. Maybe he's a lot worse off, healthwise, than he is letting on---that was my first thought---it's Texas in the Summertime--hot as hell, he's in a damned lined coat.

[osaMABUSh]

62. Apparently it is Auswitch Memorial formal attire

except he forgot the "2000 Staff" ski cap

[al bupp]

44. Because Reptiles...

...have protect themselves from too much heat as well as too much cold. It's a cold-blooded metabolism thing.

No joke.

[BattyDem]

14. Cheney? I thought that was Ed Asner!

Either way, he definitely needs a Queer Eye makeover and a lesson in appropriate attire. :eyes:

[titoresque]

17. LMAO!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAA!
Great! Ed Asner!

[LiberalCompassionate]

33. WOOOhoo heheheHAA !!

Ed Asner....good one

laughter truly is the best medicine in these dismal times.

:rofl:

[osaMABUSh]

63. Can't be. Ed Asner is dead ....well, yes, it could be

[maxpower]

79. You might want to tell Ed Asner

He is dead. Because he isn't.

[October]

23. Looks like an "out blouse"

[greatauntoftriplets]

40. Is he on a blood thinner like coumadin?

That makes you cold. Er...does the Dickster have blood?

[DesEtoiles]

3. Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

[Ptah]

36. T'was Grace that taught...

T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.

[Liberal In Texas]

5. Why would ANYBODY wear a jacket in that heat? n/t

[SeanQuinn]

8. That's what I was going to say.

Cheney needs a fashion advisor.

[Generic Other]

7. Heartbreaking...

So excruciatingly sad...

[emdee]

10. Very Powerful Pics - thank you. n/t

n/t

[cry baby]

11. I've been holding it together pretty well until I saw the pic of Cindy

the first one...now I've burst into tears

[BattyDem]

16. I was already crying after reading Carly Sheehan's poem ...

That pic of Cindy just made it worse. :cry:


"A Nation Rocked to Sleep" by Carly Sheehan
http://www.truthout.org/cindy.shtml

[titoresque]

21. ohhhh

now I've lost it. Has everyone been on an emotional roller coaster? One minute Im laughing over the Ed Asner reference, next Im reading
this poem. I see my own daughter, and I cry. I just don;t know if I would have reason enough to get out of bed in the a.m. if I were Cindy and here she is bringing so much hope for so many! She's truly a wonderful human being!

[BattyDem]

31. I know what you mean ...

One minute I feel inspired by Cindy, the next minute my heart is breaking for her. She's an amazing woman!

[cry baby]

25. Yes, I couldn't stop the night I read her poem...

THE most touching, yet gut-wrenching thing I think I've ever read.

[Tom Kitten]

12. Oh my God

Those are powerful photographs. The last one just made me put my head into my hands. "Our leaders" x(

[KyndCulture]

13. Bloggers... post that pic of Cindy with Casey's cross...

I want this pic out there everywhere tonight..

How does that fucking bastard sleep at night. Her pain is palpable through my monitor.

[roguevalley]

20. isn't that horrible, holding a cross with your baby's name on it.

she carries a picture of him when he was a toddler. it makes me sick everytime I see her sitting there, holding it. so very, very sad. she is the human face of suffering, the human face of the war. she will bring them down.

[cry baby]

45. That pic should be on the cover of Newsweek. nt

[KyndCulture]

46. agreed! and every magazine and newspaper in the country!

[cry baby]

48. Do we even know who took this pic?

[cry baby]

56. Thank you, hope it touches the press like it touched me.

[KyndCulture]

53. It's a yahoo pic.. so I am guessing it's AP or Reuters

[BattyDem]

15. Thank you so much for these pics

I heard a lot about these crosses today and I really wanted to see them for myself. :-)

[rodeodance]

29. yes thanks.

[bleever]

18. Rec'd. Thanks, Stephanie.

:patriot:

[stevedeshazer]

19. Recommended. Look what they're wearing!

Why is the leader of the "free" world posturing on a patch of DIRT? These are our LEADERS.

Chickenshits.

America deserves better.

[AmBlue]

26. Because he heard us laughing....

...about his little stage-set "pretend" ranch house and doesn't want to give us the pleasure of mocking the unholy truth of what FRAUD he is. I wish I knew how to post pics. I'd post that little shack again here, right now. Who can do it?

(I've NEVER seen him pose with absolutely NOTHING for a backdrop when he's on the ranch. I guess he wants us to think he's standing in something like a ditch, too. :puke:)

[AmBlue]

22. Who is the incredible person....

...that hand-wrought those crosses in a couple of days time?? What a stand up thing to do!! Whoever you are, my hat's off to YOU, my friend.

[dzika]

24. Condi's heels may be sinking in the mud. n/t

[LibertyorDeath]

27. Good Gawd

What a Motley Crew

Especially crashcart he looks like uncle Fester.

[shaniqua6392]

30. Oh that is so sweeeeeet

They all got dressed up right purty in their vucation clothes...so light and airy......

[Redstone]

34. Wouldn't you think that rumdum and ol' spaghetti-arteries

with all the money they have, could buy some clothes (especially jackets) that fit them?

Redstone

[dxstone]

82. You can dress 'em up any ol' way you wanna...

...but to paraphrase Billy Joel, they're still sacks o' shit to me.
Very touching, especially that first photo... well done, OP!
Perhaps Cindy's courage will shame some of those heartless stupid sleeping sheeple from their lockstep of following our unelected idiot 'leaders' wherever they may go...

[DistressedAmerican]

35. Kicked And Nominated. Please Spread These Around!!!

These are powerful shots. We need to see that they make the rounds!

[jillan]

37. you should change the Title of this thread

I almost didn't read it, and I would have missed alot!

[Stephanie]

38. nah

[KyndCulture]

47. no it's perfect... because there are no words!!! nt

[greyl]

72. It's not search friendly, though. nt

[Stephanie]

81. the pictures won't hold anyway

once Yahoo archives them the pix will disappear. if you want them you should save them.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

39. * and his minions look more pathetic with each passing day

Which is as it should be.

Shame on them.


And God Bless Cindy Sheehan

[PatriotGames]

41. I get misty eyed every time I see that first picture.

[JanMichael]

42. I hate, and can't, say what I'd like to do to the 4th photo.

And the "people" in them.

Needless to say it isn't "nice".

Edit! The 4th photo not the 3rd!!!!!!

[PatriotGames]

43. I think we all feel that way.

[cry baby]

49. kick

[Rainscents]

50. Wow, I wonder who made all those cross... it's very sad.

Bush is disgusting baster... He doesn't give a shit about life of any human being.

[bvar22]

51. Powerful Pictures

I added the top one to my sig line to help with the distribution!

[In_The_Wind]

54. Stephanie ~ that's so very sad!

[Stephanie]

55. yes

it is

[In_The_Wind]

60. The killing must stop. Our people should be returned home now.

Not one more drop of American blood should fall on foreign soil.

[chknltl]

57. In ref. to the potus; condi; veep; rummy; airforce guy photo:

OK, who here is missing a neck? (Sorry, resistance WAS futile)

[sakabatou]

58. What's the second number? Number injured?

[noamnety]

59. What's with the yahoo caption?

"Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, president of Gold Star Families for Peace and mother who lost her son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan who was serving in Iraq, holds a cross with his name on it, among dozens of other crosses representing Iraqi war dead during her vigil near the ranch owned by U.S. President George W. Bush in Crawford, Texas August 11, 2005. About 50 anti-war protesters have set up camp near the president's ranch, calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. (Jason Reed/Reuters)"

shouldn't that be hundreds?

[ultraist]

61. wow...

:kick:

[tandot]

64. How many children has he lost in his war???

Never mind...his girls are like their dad...it is more fun to party and get drunk than to actually fight.

Chickenhawks :puke:

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

65. recommended & kick!

[Rex]

66. That's a great picture of the Chimperor

Fake president, fake staff, fake background...notice the lack of a Whitehouse or anything else. Nothing but sky and ground.

[phusion]

68. Yea, don't they look so small and powerless there?

Not backed up by Washington buildings and presidential logos, etc.

[FizzFuzz]

67. heartbreaking. Except the last pic; that's stomach turning.

:(

[TheModernTerrorist]

70. great pics

Hey, does that last picture remind anyone else of "Dr. Strangelove"????


...or is it just me?

[Carolab]

71. That last shot is priceless. What a bunch of clowns.

These people "rule the world"?

Holy cow.

[icymist]

73. Your pictures drive the point home to me.....

Way too much power for one man to have!

[flyarm]

74. my heart just breaks for Cindy...

and all the other parents, and wives and hisbands and children of our soldiers..and for the parents of lost children of iraq..this must stop , and now isn't soon enough...i have such de ja vue of vietnam, and my brothers going off for vietnam ,and my boyfriend and neighbors sons, i just get sick all over again..i get the same awful sick feeling in my stomach...how many have to die for these new lies?
how long before we< all >get it??
i remember my dad a ww2 vet fighting with me when i told him over and over it was all a lie, how long it took for him to admit i was right and he was wrong..
it took till he was dying ..and he finally told me i was right..it was all a lie...nam that is...

so do we have to have another big black wall, with lost potential, lost dreams, lost lives, for more lies..how could we as a nation not have learned?
why are so many americans so easily brainwashed?

why are so many so uncaring?
why are so many so damn ignorant?
why are so many so willing to kill?
why can so many to look the other way and be apathetic?

i keep asking the whys and i never get the answers , as i didn't get the answers when we lost so many beautiful of our young, my peers ..in vietnam.

god forgive us...

and god damn those who started this war and those who support the lies of this filthy group of so called leaders we have today..they are murderers..there are no other words for those bastards!

may god grant peace one day to those parents who have lost their greatest treasures...their children.

with love to you brave lady Cindy....my heart breaks with you..

i too have a Casey..i wish i could share him with you ..but i know that will not ease your pain.

[Stephanie]

75. thanks fly

we have a new Vietnam now

[mwb970]

76. And what a beautiful spot for a 5-week vacation.

You can have your ocean breezes, your mountain views - liberal rubbish! I want to take a manly vacation. I want to spend the hottest month of the year on a dusty, God-forsaken "ranch" in the middle of the desert outside a tiny Texas town. Now that's good livin'!

[Stephanie]

77. we'll see if he falls on his face again this time

I like seeing him all scraped up.

[Midlodemocrat]

78. Thank you for posting these, Stephanie.

I read about the crosses in Will's blog, but these are the first pics I have seen.


And, now I am weeping. The grief on her face just tears me in two. I can't imagine being in her shoes and laying one of my precious children to rest forever.

[Redstone]

80. Any "gallery" of pictures from this ordeal should include

those top two, and gatorboy's cartoon: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4323334

Thanks for the great work, Stephanie.

[DemonFighterLives]

83. The Specialists

Like in a good military or heist movie or maybe Casino. You need specialists. I may need some DU help here to perfect the titles/specialties.



General Myers?- specializes in elimination of enemies. Very good at covering ass and can kill on a moments notice.

Long cheney- man of many faces, he can look you in the eye an smile one minute and sneer and bite your head off the next. Specialty- Black heart ideas

dubby- pretend gang leader - also totally heartless and clueless - from a long line of cruel, evil dictators.

confuleesa- used to help pull the wool over the eyes of the peasants- once had a tanker named after her for her faithfulness to the oil empire. Ruthless death stare.

Field Marshall Baron Von Rumsfeld- office of special plans- he can chuckle and tell you lies about devious unknowns. He knows where it's at, somewhat N, S, E and W of somewhere.

If you see this gang, be very, very careful.
:scared:
