Is it just me, or do her parents look related?

On April 23, in Peoria, Illinois, three peace activist groups, including Rachel Corrie's parents, intend to protest the manufacture of Caterpillar bulldozers that are bought by Israel.

This gets more pathetic with each passing day.

Screw their "sorrow" - these morons need to be humiliated. Raising Pancake Girl to be a moron is just the result of their own idiocy.

I'm not buying Caterpillar to turn a gain, I am buying Caterpillar in loving memory of Rachel Corrie and her enlightened parents.

Now if you could only squish that to fit a 4' x 3' cardboard sign for me...

This is quite the picture and the first time I've seen it. Totally disgusting. Shame on these fools allowing themselves to become simple tools in the propaganda game.

Description: Buses from Chicago and the surrounding area are being organized, for tickets contact me at matt@stopcat.org Our plans for April 23rd are to meet at Bradley Park (1700 Park Ave) in Peoria at Noon for a short rally, then march to CAT headquarters and demand that James Owens, the current CEO, meet with a delegation made up of victims of violence and destruction perpetrated using CAT equipment.

Demonstrators will gather in the caterpillar heavy macinery test areas and stand in front of the unmanned test vehicles. /sarcasm

Do you think if I made that into a counter-protest sign that I might get rocks chucked at me?

Good grief. I originally thought this was an article from The Onion. I guess I didn't know the inherit evil of a bulldozer. Who knows, maybe the GOOD MAN driving the bulldozer that ran over this Benedictress Arnold was wearing Hanes underware. .....Comrades! On to the bourgeois Hanes factory!

I remember that movie! It starred a D-9E Cat bulldozer. I like the looks of the D-9E better than the current production D-9N. The E model has that classic look to it. The N model is more streamlined with a sloped hood and curved cab. I guess Cat did that to cut down on the aerodynamic drag at high speed.

"...with two Cats in the yard, life used to be so ha-a-ard..."

Maybe the Israelis should outfit their dozers with swamp-pads - there'll be less pressure on the protesters. ;^)

LOL... yeah, they really ought to reduce the drag coefficient on those things. I hate when some Mitsubishi Eclipse outruns me even though I know my bulldozer has more horsepower!

It is tradgic that this young lady was killed at such a young age. Her parents would be able to cope better if they could convince other parents not to let their own children be duped by the far left. Rachel's memory should be an example of what grief being a "Useful Idiot" brings to a family.

It'd most likely just confuse the leftists, not knowing what a quarry is.
