Poor Pro-Rumsfeld Woman ...

[earthside]

... on Hardball. She had a son killed in Iraq; another one being deployed over there.

She was just lost on the purpose for the war in Iraq.

That's about all the evidence you need that this is over for Bush.

How sad for this country ... and people like that woman.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. But nonetheless she thought Rummy was the greatest?

:shrug:

[kskiska]

2. She was all decked out in sweater festooned with flags

and all sorts of patriotic symbols. She was very inarticulate and clueless compared to the other woman. I don't know why she was chosen. She seemed to think that Rummy had his reasons, and well, maybe he didn't say what he really meant…

3. Not so psyched about the "duel of the grieving mothers"

that hardball has set up. I'd feel used, I think.

4. check this out about that deb lady!! the one reading her talking points!

http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerplays/archives/001877.php

jasons real mom was and is against the war...so they pit this deb lady against a mother who lost her "own son"..but then bring on a step mom..well why the hell didn't they bring on Jasons real mom??????????????

this is propaganda bullshit!


snip:

Then there was Deb Meyer, a very pleasant and normal looking woman from South Bend, Indiana. Her stepson Jason Meyer, 23, was killed by friendly fire April 8, 2003 at the Baghdad Airport. Her own son Jonathan (almost 20) is at Fort Hood and ship out to Iraq in April. And she intends to sign a waiver so her youngest, Christopher, can enlist when he graduates high school; the waiver is necessary because he will only be 17. One wonders if having all these dear souls at risk bothers her. "When (Jonathan) joined, the first time he came home in a uniform with 'Meyer' on it, it was emotional," she said. "We've always been proud of all their service."

Deb thinks all the antiwar talk is undermining troop morale in Iraq. "I'm not pro-war," she insists, "just because I oppose what are saying. I don't think anyone in America is pro-war. I don't think the president is pro-war." Her brother is against the war.


*************Jason's biological mother is against it.************************* And one of Jason's biological brothers is so opposed to Jonathan going over that he's vowed to stand in front of the transport plane.


total propaganda bullshit...tell deb don't come back till its her own son who gets killed!

5. She looked completely uninformed and in total denial.

Totally clueless.

[babylonsister]

7. Agree there; she also seemed nervous, like someone put

her up to doing the interview.

[WolverineDG]

12. I felt sorry for her

She had no clue how to answer Tweety's questions if they strayed from the talking points & completely missed one question so he had to ask it again.

13. not me she is a fraud..she was sitting there reading pre written talking

points..and it wasn't even her birth son..the birth mom is against the war..why was the step mother there and not Jasons real mom??..this was propaganda and she allowed herself to be used as propaganda with the death of someone else's son..that is bullshit!

let her come on tweety when she looses her own son..until then she has no right to speak as if she was Jasons mom..she is not!

she is a putrid fraud! with some sick agenda..she was sitting there reading what someone gave her to read..she is a filthy fraud!

she at least should respect Jason's real mother who is dead set against this war!]
she has no respect, not for Jason, nor his real mom, nor herself..she must have no self esteem or self respect to be used like that!

i have no feelings for this woman but disgust!

8. Totally tragic.

This woman needs someone to explain how it really is. How her sons are being thrown away for nothing. Maybe we should mail her Smedley Butler's book. Do you think she would read it? He would be the kind of person who would have credibility with her it would seem...

9. All I can think of is, FAUX news has a lot to atone for in the afterlife.

16. The RNC used this woman in some pro-war ads that were

test marketed in Minnesota (and failed miserably, BTW). People have to be appalled upon learning that the boy's real mom is against the war and this cheap shill speaks for someone els's dead child.

'Taint right.

Well, that's the new Republican Party for ya!

[kentuck]

6. She still supports Bush too,I suppose ?

How many people out there are like that woman?

[Auntie Bush]

10. A LOT!!! She also said in explaining why we went to war in Iraq

that we had to because of 9/11 and Saddam...the terrorists!
Wow! I can't believe some people still believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11. The woman was a fool! Repeated that we have to fight them over there........ BS.

11. Don't be too hard on her

She most likely NEEDS to believe that so she won't completely lose her mind.

Her psyche couldn't take accepting that her son died, and another is put in danger for Halliburton profiteering and oil.

[Reciprocity]

14. But she is sending yet another son (17 year old) there.

God I would be holding onto him so tight he'd need oxygen.

[flyarm]

17. she was reading everything she said,,,she had no courage of her

convictions when she sat reading off of a talking points paper..she didn't have a thought of her own..until she looked up from the talking points and then sounded like a total ignorant!

i will be hard on her..it was not her son who died in iraq..she had no right to speak when Jasons real mom is a live and against this war!

she had no right at all..

Jason's dad had the right ..Jason's birth mom has that right..this shill has no right to speak for Jason...

this same women speaks out against real moms of fallen soldiers,.,what gives her the fucking right to do that??

fuck her!

15. Did she say she was a gold star mother

not Cindy's group gold star moms for peace, but gold star???

18. I'm going to have to catch it on the repeat.

As I missed the first part.
