Lt. Gov. Campaigns At Marine's Funeral

Okay guys, I'm pretty new to this. First of all I don't know what a ping is, ( sorry)
Thanks for sending all the atricles and web sites ...Let me fill you in on the latest. It only gets better. After this bit of news I will update you on whats happening with "the knoll thing"
I was on the 3/25 site today and noticed the section about the state flags in the article from the Reminder Publications under the links. I'll put the link at the bottom of this post. I noticed PA was NOT! Boy did that make my blood boil!!! This only accentuates the fact that Rendell is AGAINST the military~ not the war! And he lied to you all when he said "he supported our men and women in uniform". THE WEB SITE STATES THAT IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR STATE FLAG it means your governor declined to participate and did not send us a flag. In some cases, other state leaders have graciously sent their state colors.
So I was hoping you could tell me why the Governer who "supports our men and women in uniform doesan't have Pa's flag there. So check the website and see if your state is there. I have contacted Rendells office again and eric heyl at the Tribune review to see if he can get answers

Thanks , But I'd probably shoot someone the first day.LOL

on the "Knoll Issue".... We accepeted her half assed aoplogy as to let Joes Parents and wife rest. With the death of Joe and all the media it really started to wear on them. Not so much the interviews and radio braodcast. But the left wing extreme nutcases.
Some LW'ers have brought up 'that I made the whole thing up for political gain". First of all, I find that totally sickening. I would hope even the left wing nuts would not do such a thing...Then they have accused me of being a conservative opertive.Because last October I helped some college kids stage a protest against Michale Moore coming to the college. They wanted Ann Coulter to balance and was refused. 38 years ,1 protest, = Conservative Opertive. Lastly the Post Gazette kept spinning our words. Left out everything my mother in law said. Far leftist's were calling my in laws and harrassing them aboyt me.
CNN also spinning. I noticed I took critizem for appearing on FOX. Well CNN and MSNBC did not ask me.Funny, no left wing media invited me, just spun the story to their liking.
As far accpeting the apology, Knoll did not apologize for her actions. She apologized " If we misunderstood her" Whats to misunderstand? She said what she said, she did what she did, .She ran for Media cameras before we were even down the church steps.
I will not let this be forgotten election time. Yes all you left wing extremists. I'm giving you more to go on. You want me to be "an activist" .You got it. On this issue Knoll will not be relected if I have my way.I promise to bring this up and bring attention to it. If you( LWer's) want to be fair. Invite me to your website or news media.To hear the right side not make up your own side.
Another thing, Marines in Joes unit have heard of this issue, not to mention countless Marines in Iraq, and all over have contacted me and want to help in any way they can getting Knoll AND RENDELL out.Seeing as Rendell thought it not that big of a deal and it was just a mishap.So who would I side with? The United States Marines or way out there far left , who can make excuses for anything they do even LIE to make themselves look good.
Thanks to all of you here and all of your support. I hope I can count on you election time to get the word out. In the next post , I'm including a letter that was emailed to me, from a woman I never metin the next post
Thanks again

That would be great but I think I'd shoot someone the first day!!! LOlLetter I received about Knolls behavior that confirms my story

Rhonda, My name is Lisa and my husband and I are friends of Joe and Amy. My husband was in the Marines with Joe and I have gotten to know Amy now from the deli. Anyhow, I feel the need to tell you some things about Catherine Baker Knoll... Embarrassingly, I did not recognize her at the funeral, but thought instead, that she was a distant relative of some kind that was put on mood elevating meds to get through the funeral. When she came in, which I did not consider being late by any stretch of the imagination (She had every opportunity to approach Amy and your family, long before the service started) ... I had time to watch her behavior for at least 10-15 minutes... I assumed she was a relative because she was seated in front of us, in the family section. She was 2 rows in front of us. She never knew Joe or Amy, and apparently had no desire to either. When she first came, she gave me the sick impression that she was happy to be there - Like it was the Academy Awards. She was smiling, and greeted several of the people sitting behind her. I don't know if they knew who she was or not, I wasn't listening to their words. I thought this behavior was strange enough, thinking she was just a grief-stricken family member. I even came home and commented to a friend that I thought a lady there seemed to enjoy being there, which repulsed me. Being only several rows behind her, I also have to point out that she did make a beeline straight for the cameras, as by the time I was at the bottom of the steps outside the church, she was already talking with the media. That confirmed in my mind that this woman was enjoying the fact that she was present at this "function." I did not find out until days later, when this part of the story broke that it was Catherine Baker Knoll - This sickened me more. I did not witness her passing out her business card, but my feeling is that if she cared so much, as she has stated, why didn't she make an effort to come to the cemetary and offer her condolences and assistance to Amy, Joe's parents and brother, and the rest of his family? It seems obvious to me that the answer would be because the media may not have caught that piece on camera. I am glad you have spoken out on this issue. Your interviews with the local and national news have been done tastefully and sincerely. I will certainly be very vocal on what I witnessed as election time nears. Please know that if your family needs anything, my family will make every effort to assist. Thanks for your time, Lisa
