Hey Freeper Fascist Assholes.........

Stick this story in your pipes and smoke it



Chase Comley
R.I.P.

The Marines' Hymn played softly as his flag-draped coffin was slowly taken from Calvary Baptist Church for a military burial at Lexington Cemetery. Comley, a driver for an amphibious assault vehicle battalion, was killed by a suicide bomber last weekend while conducting combat operations near Amiriyah, Iraq. <...>

But, in a departure from the norm in Kentucky -- one of the reddest of red states -- some of Comley's relatives, including a few sitting in the front pews, have spoken out strongly against the Bush administration and the war that took the 21-year-old Marine's life. <...>

But on Friday, Comley's grandmother, 80-year-old Geraldine Comley of Versailles, described herself in an interview as a former Republican stalwart who is "on a rampage" against the president and the war.

She said she would like nothing better than to join Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier who has been holding a peace vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Texas.

Take a deep hit on this from Comley's Aunt:

When he was recruited, he told us he would be deployed to Japan. He called every week when he wasn't in the field to tell us he was counting the days until his return. He tried to sound upbeat, probably for our benefit, but his father could detect in Chase's voice more than a hint of futility and will never say, "my son died doing what he loved."

For those of you who still trust the Bush administration -- and your percentage diminishes every day -- let me tell you that my nephew Chase Johnson Comley did not die to preserve your freedoms. He was not presented flowers by grateful Iraqis, welcoming him as their liberator.

He died fighting a senseless war for oil and contracts, ensuring the increased wealth of President Bush and his administration's friends.

He died long after Bush, in his testosterone-charged, theatrical, soldier-for-a-day role, announced on an aircraft carrier beneath a "Mission Accomplished" banner that major combat was over.

He died in a country erupting into civil war and turned into a hellhole by Bush, a place where democracy has no chance of prevailing, a country that will become a theocracy like Saudi Arabia.

I love to hear about "Former Republicans", and "Outraged former Republicans" (Of course the FFA's at Freeptardville don't have the balls to admit they are wrong and change their "minds")

Bless you, the folks of the Comley Family in this time of mourning.

[Gman]

12. Good-looking kid

with a lifetime of opportunity ahead.

How fucking awful.

[Nikki Stone 1]

13. God he looks so young. He could have been one of my students

from a few years ago. Some of them would be 21 now.

Such a waste.

[AtomicKitten]

15. Damn, he's a good-looking kid.

I have the utmost respect for people that are fluid in their way of thinking and are not so invested in the clubhouse that they can't see the truth. These testimonials will resonate. And then they will be attacked by their "fellow" Republicans.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

16. I love to hear about outraged republican's too BUT

I would rather it didn't take a loss of someone dear to somebody as the impetus for that state. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but you ended a tragic story with a statement of glee....it didn't sound too good. If someone is here visiting they could take it the wrong way.

20. I agree, but the beauty of Cindy's Protest........

is that others can sympathize with her and get angry enough to question authority, perhaps change their minds. This article is one of the most upsetting I have seen, to sucker a wonderful young man into believing he was "going to Japan". How dare they?
