2. About anyone but themselves? Other people's opinions?
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 10:39 PM by tjdee
That is the critical flaw in the conservative mindset.

They really don't care.

3. First time they have told the truth. They really don't care about
who dies as long as it isn't them or their kids.

4. Because They Can't Care
That's actually true. They are useless, egocentric wasters. They are destructive and most disrespectful bunch of greedy selfloathing hypocrites.

And I do care.

7. They don't care about...
Dead troops, grieving mothers, no jobs, poor getting poorer, limited civil liberties, the Constitution.

14. Excellent post, Tamyrlin -- thank you.
I thought they were referring to something I'd missed, but it appears from your post, and the responses in this thread, that it's just a mindset, an attitude, of not caring. I can't imagine a life lived in that way.

13. They sure don't
They couldn't think up something clever to chant and some idiot probably just started saying "We don't care" and the others said, "Duh, that sounds good. We don't care! We don't Care!"

That sweet, innocent smile and the idyllic picture, combined with the the obvious and profane truth ... gets me every time. :-)

15. Oh, please, please, PLEASE
tell me that this is on video somewhere?????

Someone needs to use this video for an ad and use that quote that someone posted in another thread that the right wingers message to the soldiers (re Cindy) is "This is how we will treat your mother if you die."

Yes, it's absolutely sickening, but that quote and them chanting "We don't care" is absolute video gold if someone uses it the right way.

18. They played right into one of Janeane Garafolo's rants.
L.A.'s AA affiliate plays this promo for 'Majority Report' featuring Janeane going off on rightards... "I don't care. I don't care about the environment, I care about old people..."

Can't wait to hear what she thinks of their new slogan when she gets back on the air.

And now, courtesy of the Circle Jerks:

I don't care
Where you from anyway?
I don't care
Lots of money anyway
I don't care
What you say anyway
I don't care
Lots of clothes anyway

I don't care
I don't care

Don't care
Nice car anyway
Don't care
Nice parents anyway
Don't care
Nice home anyway
Don't care
Lots of money anyway

I don't care
I don't care

Don't care
Don't care
Don't care
Don't care
Don't care
Don't care
I DON'T CARE!

25. Yes, the counter-protesters at Camp Casey -- this was their chant.
I thought I'd missed something, too, but apparently this is just their general mindset, or attitude.

was the strange chant they chose to characterize their mission in coming there.

31. The same people who tell Cindy to "get over it"
I really find it strange how many of Cindy's critics are basically telling Cindy to "get over it" as she's not the first to lose a child in a war.

Besides the callousness of this kind of statement, her critics miss the central point that Cindy has been trying to make: This war was started on a pack of lies, and having our finest die for a pack of lies is wrong. Cindy's point is incontestable, no matter how loud right-wing thugs yell.

This isn't just about Cindy's son, it's about how a nation decides to go to war. When a nation decides to go to war in an illegal manner, without any rationale, it is deciding to *murder* the soldiers it sends to fight, as well as the people the soldiers kill.

I'm proud that Cindy can highlight this issue for us all especially because she was so personally affected by it.

35. That piece could have something to do with it -- here's an excerpt...
from the piece Mike Gallagher reportedly referenced:

I Don't Care
by Doug Patton

....I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia....

***

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -- you guessed it -- I don't care!
