What a way to dishonor the memory of her brave and courageous son.
She should be protesting in front of mosques. In Iran.
AOL using her tormented face as the lead news picture on their home page. Propagandists in action.
He died to protect your right to behave disgracefully and dishonor his memory. Any other questions we can answer for you?
The link below will take Freepers to a long list of vile actions of the Islamonazis against innocent Americans and other around the world.
Long list of Jihadist acts of terrorism, murder, mass murders and other un civilized actions:

The old adage of follow the money would be very appropriate with this Gold Star Mother. Where is she getting the money to be all over the nation with her anti GW and war message?
The link below shows that she has aligned with many old communist anti America organizations and many of George $oreA$$'s funded NGO's.

Communists Against the Military
By Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com | July 14, 2005
A coalition of far-Left organizations that includes avowed “revolutionary communists,” Islamists, marriage-abolitionists, and cop-killer advocates has launched a crusade against the U.S. military – and San Francisco school children could get caught in the crossfire. An organization known as “College Not Combat” seeks to place a resolution before Bay City voters on the November ballot, declaring “that the people of San Francisco oppose U.S. military recruiters using public school, college and university facilities to recruit young people into the armed forces.” The non-binding measure would encourage the city’s high schools to deny military recruiters access to their student directories, from which recruiters attempt to find new volunteers. Such an action, undertaken in the name of “the children,” would constitute a violation of section 9528 of the “No Child Left Behind” Act and could end up denying the offending schools access to government funds.
The group submitted petitions containing more than15,000 signatures to the Department of Elections on Monday, nearly 5,000 more than needed. If enough signatures are validated, the measure will be placed before voters. In part, the draft declares:
a de facto “economic draft” forces tens of thousands of low and middle-income students to join the military in order to get money to go to college or get job or technical training…
the Federal government shows no sign of ending the occupation of Iraq or bringing the troops safely home and, in fact, is threatening military action against other nations...
San Francisco should oppose the military’s “economic draft” by investigating means by which to fund and grant scholarships for college and job training to low-income students so they are not economically compelled to join the military!
The measure’s wording reflects its constituents’ radical socialist orientation. The organizations that have endorsed this proposition represent a veritable Who’s Who of the Unholy Alliance. A partial list includes:
Al-Awda (San Francisco) – A Palestinian organization dedicated to the “right of return,” that Israel will absorb some five million Arabs into its midst. Its members endorse the Hamas statement, “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.”
American Friends Service Committee – A putatively Quaker organization with a long history of support for Communist causes, foreign and domestic, its membership often overlapped with that of the Communist Party USA. AFSC refrained from criticizing the Soviet Union and called reports of Pol Pot’s killing fields a “misinformation campaign.” More recently, the Soros-funded organization encouraged city councils to oppose the Patriot Act and joined with other leftist radicals to oppose the liberation of Iraq.
International ANSWER (Bay Area) – A front for the Workers World Party’s International Action Center headed by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark (who recently volunteered to serve as Saddam’s lawyer), International ANSWER has supported such madmen as Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, and Kim Jong-il. ANSWER was also the prime sponsor of the large “antiwar” rallies before Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Code Pink – A far-Left group of faux housewives established by omnipresent pro-Castro activist Medea Benjamin, the founders met while agitating on behalf of Nicaragua’s communist Sandanista government. Benjamin, with Communist Party USA member Leslie Cagan, founded the International Occupation Watch in Baghdad, an organization dedicated to getting U.S. GIs to declare themselves conscientious objectors and get themselves sent home. Code Pink spokesperson “Sand” Brim flew a surgeon into El Salvador to operate on Marxist guerrilla leader Nidia Diaz’s hand shortly after guerrillas under her command murdered American troops. Co-founder Jodie Evans is a Democratic Party fundraiser with ties to eco-terrorists. Late last year, the group traveled to Iraq to donate $600,000 in cash and supplies to the terrorist stronghold of Fallujah. They made headlines this year by bursting into John Bolton’s confirmation hearings. Furthering the Left’s incestuous relationship, Medea Benjamin’s Code Pink is also a member of Leslie Cagan’s United for Peace and Justice, which became the “mainstream” voice of the anti-American Left opposed to the War on Terror.
Free Palestine Alliance – A leftist Palestinian organization demanding “an immediate end to all U.S. aid to Israel,” it seems to exist only as a member of International ANSWER’s “steering committee.” (Its contact information is the same as the IAC.)
Global Exchange – Another organization founded by Medea Benjamin, which takes credulous left-wingers on trips to Potemkin villages around the world, to demonstrate the glories of socialism (in places like Cuba) or the evils of U.S. foreign policy (in locales such as Iraq and Afghanistan).
Green Party – Ralph Nader’s political vehicle in 2000, this Red-Green alliance supports radicalization of the U.S. economy under the guise of preserving the environment. Meanwhile, its foreign policy would have kept Saddam Hussein in power and catered to Kim Jong-il. Their candidate in 2000 for California’s U.S. Senate seat was none other than the ubiquitous Medea Benjamin.
Gray Panthers – This group of gray Reds denounced the 2004 vote as “the second Presidential election in a row which failed to be free and fair,” implied that America deposed Haitian Marxist Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and fear-mongered last March that President Bush might reinstate the draft (five months after the Republican-controlled Congress defeated a bill to do just that, introduced by leftist Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY).
International Socialist Organization – Despite supporting Trotskyite Communism, the ISO supports (or supported) the USSR, Communist China, Cuba, and North Korea (Stalinist or Maoist nations all), because of those nation’s united opposition to the world’s real enemies: the United States and capitalism. Also a member of UFPJ.
Lesbian And GAy Insurrection, (LAGAI) – A quite muddled political program seems to revolve around the Communist goal of abolishing the institution of marriage. LAGAI declares, “we feel that the queer liberation position is to oppose marriage as the central institution of patriarchy, not to try to get married ourselves.” “Assimilation is not Liberation!” their flyer shouts.
Louisiana Activist Network – A radical “antiwar” organization that reproduces a quotation from revolutionary Emma Goldman on its frontpage and links to Lyndon LaRouche’s political organization on its “friends” page.
Malcolm X Grassroots Movement – A radical black “liberation” organization demanding the release of “political prisoners” like Sundiata Acoli, Robert Seth Hayes, Jalil Muntaquin, Herman Bell and Russell Maroon Shoats – and commemorating those who “died for the cause” (in prison, of natural causes): Teddy "Jah" Heath, Albert "Nuh" Washington. All except Heath were Black Panthers convicted of murdering policemen, and all are justified or excused by MXGM. For instance: “In 1970, along with 5 others, Maroon was accused of attacking a police station, which resulted in an officer being killed. This attack was said to have been carried out in response to the rampant police brutality in the Black community.” The website decries Heath’s “racist” conviction on multiple charges, including kidnapping, because, “The kidnapping ended peacefully and without injury to anyone.” (And they still imprisoned him?) The MXGM opposes U.S. Army recruiting but favors the domestic terrorism of the Black Liberation Army.
National Lawyers Guild (SF/Bay Area) – Once described by Congress as “the legal bulwark of the Communist Party,” the most violent disagreements within the NLG broke out between Maoists and Stalinists. The NLG has recently whitewashed North Korea’s brutal human rights violations. Convicted terror-enabler Lynne Stewart gave the keynote speech at the NLG’s 2003 national convention, in which she hailed “modern heroes” like “Ho and Mao and Lenin, Fidel and Nelson Mandela…[and] Che Guevara.” Upon her conviction in passing on messages from Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman to Egyptian terrorists, the NLG called for a “national day of outrage.” NLG is also active in UFPJ and is a vital part of the Open Borders Lobby.
Not in Our Name (NION) – Founded by Maoiost radical C. Clark Kissinger of the Revolutionary Communist Party – an organization considered extremist and violent even by fellow Maoists – this “antiwar” coalition produced a “Statement of Conscience,” signed by thousands of leftists, condemning America’s “openly imperial policy towards the world.” NION showed its patriotic spirit this year in a Fourth of July rally for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention center, at which it distributed an American flag emblazoned with the phrase, “Torture is immoral and unpatriotic!” (Also present were former detainees, their lawyers, Code Pink, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and feminist idols Gloria Steinem and Eve Ensler.) After Bush’s re-election, NION issued a statement accusing the Bush administration of seeking “unquestioned world supremacy” and laboring to “impose a narrow, intolerant, and political form of Christian fundamentalism as government policy.” It has also supported Sgt. Kevin Benderman, who refused to return to Iraq and stands accused of desertion and larceny, and calls convicted Iraq deserter Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia “a prisoner of conscience.” NION is a member of UFPJ.
Peace and Freedom Party – A California-based “feminist and socialist” political party that nominated Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver for president in 1968, Benjamin Spock in 1972, and convicted cop-killer Leonard Peltier in 2004.
Party for Socialism and Liberation – A party that proudly proclaims, “we aim for revolution in the United States.” The most recent issue of their magazine hails the Iraqi terrorists’ “determination and ability to resist.” And they explicitly wish to play a role in our defeat in the region: “The experience of the Vietnam War proved that the anti-war movement in the United States can gain confidence from the resistance of the oppressed peoples standing up to and defeating the largest military power in the world.”
Peter Camejo – Ralph Nader’s Green Party running mate in 2004. As a member of the Young Socialist Alliance, California Governor Ronald Reagan named him one of the ten most dangerous revolutionaries in the state. Like Reagan, Camejo ran for president in 1976, Camejo running on the Socialist Workers Party ticket. Camejo is, next to George Soros, perhaps the most prominent far-Left agitator ever to become a professional stock broker.
Queers Undermining Israeli Terror (QUIT) – A homosexual organization opposed to Israel, as though their fate would be better in an Islamic society. QUIT took part in the attempted 2004 sabotage of the Oakland Port, which ships military material to the Iraqi front.
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) (Local 790) – The largest union in the AFL-CIO, SEIU President Andrew Stern was a New Leftist protégé of avowed socialist Michael Harrington who studied union organization under former members of the radical Students for a Democratic Society.
Socialist Action – A Trotskyite “group of revolutionary socialists committed to the emancipation of working and oppressed people everywhere!” that believes in “permanent revolution.”
Socialist Organizer – Another Trotskyite organization and member of the Fourth International and founder of The Labor Party, SO dedicates a webpage to the writings of such distinguished intellectuals as V.I. Lenin, Karl Marx, John Reed, Eugene V. Debs, and, naturally, Leon Trotsky.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (SF Chapter) – The ADC is a veteran campaigner at the state and local ordinances, having spearheaded the movement to pass city resolutions condemning the Patriot Act or vowing a city’s non-compliance. The ADC also condemned the detention of terrorist detainees and the use of military tribunals, referring to American actions as “disappearances.” A member of UFPJ.
Another prominent resident to endorse the measure is Cindy Sheehan, the founder of Gold Star Families for Peace who demands an “immediate withdrawal of American and Coalition Forces from Iraq.” GFSP, “an affiliate of Military Families Speak Out,” works with UFPJ, September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, and Veterans for Peace.
From Grampa Dave, the groups mentioned re working with Sheehan are financed and supported by George $oro$. How much money are these organizations giving Sheenan to pay for her to travel around America to bad mouth our military in Iraq.
Good! This info needs to be read by as many people as possible.
I just read the article where she and her remaining family DID meet with the President, proving that she is using her dead son for politics. I no longer feel bad for her loss, this woman is a monster.
Soldiers need to write in their diaries or letters to as many people as possible that they don't want people doing this crap in their names. Many already do.
-"What did my son die for?"'-
Apparently she didn't have a very good relationship with her son, or didn't listen to him very well. I bet he knew what he was doing over there, and tried to tell her over and over.
First thing madam, Pres. Bush did NOT kill your son. He was killed by an Arab terrorist, probably Syrian, Iranian, or Saudi, in the performance of his duties as a soldier in the United States military, an organization he joined of his own free will. Second, he died fighting to secure democracy and freedom for an enslaved peoples whose leader was host to world threatening terrorist enclaves. His death in that far off land helps to ensure that you are never attacked by those terrorist forces in your own home. His death also makes it possible that you live in a democratic republic where you can question your leader instead of a tyrannical slave state where you would be fed feet first into a tree shredder for daring to have the audacity to act as you are doing now. Why don't you lay down your placard, kneel down and ask God to hold your son close to his bosom until you are joined together again, and go home and tell everyone how PROUD you are of him for being the kind of man who would lay down his life for others and his duty. Your son was an honorable man. Don't let your grief at his loss dishonor his actions. I thank him and those like him who have purchased my safety and security with their own lives.
The entire nation didn't get to see what I and a handful of people at news stations (I was at KTLA) across the U.S. saw. Un-edited raw footage of 9/11 in realtime.
Bodies splattering across (jumpers) the awnings that covered the walkways of the trade center. The "wall of heads" that were stacked in a room amongst the collapsed floors below street level, literally, some with skin, some charred to a cinder. I found out later that is how the "body" count was really done.
The freedom to drive around in our cars and sip StarBucks™ and yell at each other in traffic all comes at a price. The willingness of men to put a rifle in their hands and engage an enemy in distant lands so that said enemy will not exert his will on our latté sippin butts, is that price. Sometimes they pay for our freedoms, with "their" lives. God Bless our troops!!!
Intense post, but thank you for illustrating the blaring reality that these screaming libs have absolutely no concept of.
The left are ill with ineptness when it comes to reality. They truly do have a mental disease.
I just heard a military recruiter say on our local radio station, that many of these (then) kids, prior to 9-11, enlisted for two common reasons: one of them, for the educational benefits, and the other...to get away from Mom.
