A question about the Crawford counter-protesters
I printed out "Cindy's Victory" by Will Pitt so my mother could read it and she asked me why the counter-protesters were chanting, "We don't care."

What is it that they don't care about...
Casey Sheehan's death?
Cindy's feelings?
The anti-war sentiment?
All of the above?

I didn't give it a thought until Mom asked me ... but WTF does "We don't care" mean? :shrug:

1. I found it to be...
A glorious homage to their own ignorance.

2. It means:
"We have our heads firmly buried in the sand and any attempts to make us aware of what's going on will only make us irrationally angry."

I can understand WHY people react this way but it doesn't make it any less infuriating.

3. there was an e-mail
that it might be based on - somewhat focused on political correctness and not caring about the prison abuse etc. just the usual far right generalizations

4. The coverage I read said they chanted it as the Camp Crawford folks
were singing "God Bless America."

So, who knows?

5. I think it's "We don't care whether the pres. speaks to you."...
Well, duhhhh, they've already demonstrated that they don't care that he lied either.

6. isn't a Counter-PROtester really an antitester?
We don't care. No wonder their sons and daughters aren't enlisting.

8. Not sure, but it could fit all the possibilities you mentioned...
...hell, it could be the Republican Party slogan.
