laziness....this could have been found with a simple lexis nexis search.

[lionheart 247365]

I'm proud of her son , but ashamed of his mother . Perhaps she can team up with :
Jane Fonda
Micheal Moore
Ted Kennedy
Barbara Boxer
Dick Durbin
And you know the rest .

[Jrabbit]

Yep. I knew I'd already seen this on FR. Perhaps after Drudge finishes "developing" this story, he'll mention where he got the info? Maybe? lol

[kempo]

Its been very obvious that this woman has been someone who is looking for attention. I have no respect for someone who tries to bring attention to their self by using the death of a love one.

[Valin]

I'm shocked! Then I am so easily shocked.

[Rosemont]

Great job by the Freeper

[McGavin999]

Although Drudge should give credit, it's good to see this on his site because it will get far more coverage than it got here.

In addition, the MSM will take note of it and can't wiggle out of it quite so easily.

The story goes that the young Greek hoplite went to his mother on the eve of leaving for battle and expressed some trepidation about fighting the Persians.
What were essentially shoving/spear-thrusting matches ended sometimes when a few on one side threw down their shields and ran from the field.
The Greek's mother advised her son, "Either return with your shield, or upon it."
Certainly, our countryman's mother is grieving, but she dishonors her son's bravery and sacrifice.

>The story is so lame, and this woman is looking for her ten minutes of fame

Between this whiner
and Natalee's mother, I've
had enough of Moms . . .

[rollo tomasi]

Hate to rag on this woman who lost her son but if there are stages of grief the mom must be in the middle of the delusional section.

I would place my wrath on groups who might be egging her on and capitalizing on her grief. I would hope this is the case, if so may the people see the evil they are doing to this woman and turn away from it.

[Dionysius]

You can empathize with this woman as a grieving mother, but as a political (perhaps compensated) activist, she's fair game. Thus said, she is a two-faced opportunist and a cosmic disgrace to our nation for which her son gave his life. Perhaps the Peoples' Republic of Kalifornistan will view her in a kinder light.

[MizSterious]

Good catch by Drudge? More like a good catch by Freeper tgslTakoma, and a good heist by Drudge. I'm glad he's giving it the publicity it deserves, but I wish he'd give proper credit for the find.

One of these days that mother will come to regret these actions as they disrespect the honor, the dignity of her son.

Now just why would President Bush seek to meet with family members? To dishonor their loved ones? To throw a party fun for all? For a press release?

No, he would meet with them to talk, to respect their loved one with the highest honor he can give - time spent with the President of the United States. And, why hold an event to deepen the sadness the visitors feel. No, he would make sure the occasion would be honoring the joy of those lives, would lighten the load if at all possible for the grievers for a few minutes.

So, one day when she realizes that instead of honoring the memory of her son, she tarnished it and cast him in a bad light. Then she will grieve over her actions for a few dollars, for a few minutes of attention, for whatever.

But, her actions in no way honor the dignity of her son.

[scott says]

Vacaville,Ca...another Bay Area clown, this story needs to be trumpeted and made known. This woman is beyond repulsive.

[MizSterious]

Yes, I really am glad he posted the story. Credit where due would have been a nice touch, however. Far too many "journalists" and columnists wait until Freepers have done the legwork, then they run with the story as if it were their own.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Neither do I.

I think she is a pawn for the Liberals out there,that are opposed to the war and is exploited by them.

However,she is stupid enough to fall for it and to disgrace her sons honor by making statements like this.

[Rosemont]

I empathize with her. However, there are many other parents of heroes who have fallen in combat, that do not make it a point to bash the President, the war effort, or make good propoganda for Al Jazeera or the defeatist Chris Matthews.

[dfwgator]

She is rehearsing her lines for the next Michael Moore movie.

BINGO!

Since April, Cindy has traveled all over the country telling Casey's story. She also started an organization called RealVoices.org, with a focus on filming commercials telling real stories of those greatly impacted by the Bush Administration. The spots were aired before the election in swing states.

June 17, 2005 speech: "It appears that my boy Casey was given a death sentence even before he joined the Army in May of 2000."

---------------------------------------------------

This woman is off her rocker - her boy was given a death sentence even before he joined the Army. What a loon! Yep. Karl Rove hypnotized her son into joining the Army and then had him executed in a fake ambush. PFFFT!
