A St. Cloud VA Medical Center resident said Monday that he has filed suit against the center, its director, the secretary of veterans affairs and President George W. Bush.

He filed the suit because the VA displayed state flags featuring the Confederate symbol.

By all means award this man these billions for this terrible crime against mankind.

(I thought there were going to be laws against crap like this.)

hey james andrew coleman...

I suffer the same thing whenever I see a Volvo, symbol of yuppie repression. Where's my check?

[RebelBanker]

Here we go again.

All together now, "Mr. Coleman, you do not have a Constitutional right not to be offended... A$$hole!"

Your Humble Servant...

Yes, that's a "B"

"James Andrew Coleman is seeking damages of more than $21 billion and an apology from each of the defendants."


...Four defendants at at $21 bil each. Doesn't ask for much does he?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Its always something...

Coleman's shoestrings once fell into the shape of a Nazi swastika. Time to sue.

[Tijeras_Slim]

He said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmares, eating disorders and other maladies as a result of seeing them.

Friends say Coleman, who is the oldest vet in the hospital, "Was never the same after that third assualt at Cold Harbor."

Yikes, I hope he never goes to Stone Mountain or sees a picture of Stone Mountain. We'll have to blow the rock up!

James Andrew Coleman is seeking damages of more than $21 billion and an apology from each of the defendants. Coleman filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis.

Why not a trillion, go for the gusto?

[shuckmaster]

This is getting to be fun...

Lord have mercy!!

Why stop at just $21 BILLION?
Why not sue for the entire output of the US Treasury or something?

[isthisnickcool]

He should sue for at least a vigintillion dollars. But not as high as a centillion. That would be too much.

[SCDogPapa]

In his lawsuit, Coleman said the symbols are equivalent to the Nazi swastika. He said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmares, eating disorders and other maladies as a result of seeing them.

Sounds like a personal problem to me!!

A lot of things bother me. But I usually get over it.

I bet this slug bitched about the $20 billion going to jump start Iraq. Kick his greedy a$$ out of bingo and shoot his lawyer.

"Yikes, I hope he never goes to Stone Mountain or sees a picture of Stone Mountain. We'll have to blow the rock up!"

Sadly, I have read that there is a group in Atlanta pushing to have the carving at Stone Mountain removed.
