You know, she's not just "a mom who lost her son in Iraq."
She's also head of the organization Gold Star Mothers for Peace.

Funny how they work in all the fake think tanks and foundations when they introduce conservatives, but leave off titles and organizations to discuss liberals.

Female liberals, at that. She's just a liberal mom, after all. Can't we all see why a mom would be so irrational and even shrill in her grief over her child? Why, we don't have to take her seriously, just pat her on the head and say "poor dear." ("We" not meaning any of us, I hope you realize.)

1. It's actually called "Gold Star FAMILIES for Peace"

www.gsfp.org
(they call it "Families" instead of "Mothers" on the premise that it's the whole family and friends/neighbors, not just the mothers, who suffer from the loss of a child in a war.


Not to be confused with Gold Star Mothers, which has been around since World War One.

Two different organizations.

2. Thanks for the correction. I knew it was a different organization, I just
never noticed "families" instead of "mothers."
