Bush Declares Today Is Gold Star Mother's Day

[qanda]

This was just on MSNBC. They said that there was an anti-war rally yesterday with 100,000 people and today the Gold Star Mothers (the reporter actually said Families) for Peace, who are for the war, are going to be marching. And that because of this Bush has declared this Gold Star Mother's Day. What in the world is that all about?

See the Video at Post #6, the MSNBC part is after the CNN piece.

But the 'er' "timing" betrays his Rovian motives.

6. VIDEO of corporate media including MSNBC

What's annoying was the MSNBC banner-the President's Response

The President's "response" was to the PRO-WAR people!

8. Thank you so much for that video

I now see that she said, Gold Star Families for Peace. I'll try to correct my original post.

10. Gold Star Families for Peace

are for peace. That's Cindy's group. And since this is Gold Star Mother's Day, why doesn't the Shrub sit down and talk with Cindy, a Gold Star Mother?

11. Whoop, hold up a second

My wife informs me that Gold Star Mothers' Day was started in 1994 by none other than the Big Dawg himself. This is an annual event, not a Bush propaganda ploy.

12. That's very interesting info

Perhaps you could send this to MSNBC so they can get their facts straight. Thanks for clearing this up here.

15. I wonder if the cops will be en-force like they were yesterday. Will they

be in full riot gear and swinging their batons around like children when these fools march around Washington?? betcha they wont

[genieroze]

16. Gold Star Mothers (the reporter actually said Families) for Peace, who are

for the war?????? How Orwellian of them. :wtf: :freak:

[Sparkly]

17. Continued war is the ONLY way to increase their ranks.

Maybe they're just trying to get more members. :crazy:

19. Does Bush even know what a Gold Star Mother is?
