The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war.

I would have thrown her ass outta there in a heartbeat but I'm a no class guy. The family did a heck of a lot better with this bitch than I would have.

You are correct, knoll/rendell have no class, they are just following the modern democrat party playbook, which howard dean/hillary is playing all across the country.

I'm amazed that my post -as so many other FReeper posts on this thread- have been as "PG" as they have. It took a lot to put those asterisks in mine. Restraint is difficult in this one.

I truly hate the left.

Ping all about this. Engage the PJs. Get this to everyone on the ping lists. Use our power.

Take out this traitor.

Politicians count on the family members being too stunned to respond or just not the type to make a public outcry. It appears this politician chose the wrong family this time - I hope they continue to complain and do it loudly -

Did you find it strange that her party affiliation isn't mentioned in the article?

Not a bit, when a Dim politician bites the big one, mention of party affiliation is extremely rare, and at most will be restricted to (D-Timbuktu) after their name early in the story. OTOH, if it's a Republican that steps on it with golf shoes, at minimum the party affiliation will be in the subtitle for the article, and perhaps in the title/headline itself. That's the way the press plays the game.

I was born in Carnegie where the funeral took place. Prayers for the brave Marine and his family.

how Democrates "Support the Troops
It took decades for the libs to wake up and recognize the harm they were doing to their cause by their constant denigration of the military (they "loathe" them, in the famous words of Bill Clinton). How to correct that politically damaging perception? In their small little minds, it meant they had to find a way to make soldiers appealing...Voila! They're victims!
Victims, at best - the Democrats who are "objective journalists" actually count coup for the Geneva-Convention-violating "insurgents" when they emphasize the number of American casualties. Turning the hero's fall into an occasion for political gain.
handing out her business card
What business card is it appropriate to hand out at a funeral??

Since she handed out her business card, it means she wants to be contacted. Her email and phone needs to be FLOODED. What an idiot.

The "our government" line should be brought up by Santorum in the upcoming senate contest. She should be made an issue which the Dims have to defend.

But then, these are the sort of people (e.g., Wellstone) who will turn the funeral of their own father into a political pep rally . . .
