How long before they start attacking CASEY Sheehan too?

[KarenInMA]

I have this awful feeling that we're gonna start hearing how he was just a "staff puke" and his death was "accidental", or worse. He was only there for five days, so he must have been "careless". I would say that not even O'Lielly is that low, but this is the man who lectured John McCain on torture.

:puke:

For the record: If anyone says that to me, I will rip their eyeballs out with my teeth.

1. yes, they are that low

NOTHING surprises me anymore

[smartvoter]

It would be foolish. They'd rather claim she is dishonoring him.

But you could be right. After what happened with Andy, nothing seems beneath them.

2. He was probably trying to blow off 3 limbs so he could run for Senate

Isn't what they accuse Max Cleland of doing?

[kenny blankenship]

3. I heard it was self-inflicted, he joined b/c he wanted to embarass Bush

and help out his terrorist friends. His mother is a Muslim you know.

4. How can they? He wanted to be a chaplain and died a virgin. He

is untouchable, and by their own standards at that.

8. They have no standards, remember?

They change and twist in the wind, shifting their message to whatever the propaganda machine wants them to say.

9. True :^(

[LisaM]

12. This is why there is no point in being a vrigin

where does it get you?

[punpirate]

5. They did the same thing to...

... Cleland, implying that his injuries were his own fault (Malkin, too, may have been the one pushing that meme). Maybe Cindy's kid will be spared this because he's dead.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. Don't bet your life on it...

"Maybe Cindy's kid will be spared this because he's dead."

7. What you WON'T hear them say is....

The Downing Street Memo. They will not address actual issues - ever.

How can they claim to support the troops and attack this woman?

10. They already have, I bet. Probably wouldn't take too long to find

it on certain websites.

I'd bet $10 it's already happening, but I won't go to those sites (becauses I won't give them the satisfaction of knowing that I'll ever read anything they say about me) so someone else will have to look.

11. They already are...they assume they know him and how he would

react to his own mother...by doing so, it's not just Cindy Sheehan they attack.



a lot of people utter the words "the troops" without ever considering that real people make up "the troops"...that they aren't some symbol of America... they are not something people can hide behind like they hide behind the flag..."the troops" is highly impersonal...it allows people to remove themselves from the reality of the dying and coming home maimed from war. ...more especially a war built on lies.


It's one of the reasons hearing "I support the troops" can ring so hollow. If sending people off to die for lies doesn't anger you then there is no way in hell you support the troops.
