It would be perfectly fitting if this crone and a room full of fawning reporters were killed in an Islamic terror attack.

"From what I understand she is not denying the validity of the charges, just shluffing it off as "being in shock" at the time of the first meeting with Bush."
------

The first explanation at the time of the meeting with the president is the one that rings true. Her family decided not to confront the president with her anti-war views out of respect for what their son would have wanted them to do.
Her son volunteered for service, and re-enlisted to go to Iraq. He was apparently in disagreement with her views, which it has been reported that she held before her son went to Iraq. She is right at home with the folks she is hanging out with now, it seems.

Now all she is is a traitor, re-enacting a stage-managed Vietnam-redux farce.

Thanks, she was my 'problem' teen. I've raised 3 fine daughters. The oldest enlisted, but was discharged with stress fractures during basic. She was so bummed for a couple months after that, but, has bounced back and is getting married this Saturday! Also, as a fun tangent..... We were able to get a bridesmaid dress for our soldier and according to the measurements she emailed us, all it will need is a hem. She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to be in the wedding! We've arranged with the bridal shop to have her dress altered, tomorrow, Thursday, 2 days before the wedding. Our first stop after picking her up fromt he airport is to the dress shop. The bridal shop is probably as excited about this as we are, and have said, whatever it takes to get her in the wedding, we'll do, and that means working late to finish her dress. There are plenty of people out there who support our troops and this war in their own special way. OK, more wet eyes.......

Drat, we don't get Hannity here. Good to know they're trying to find the majority who refute her claims

He was the same Gentleman that was on Mark Levin's radio last night

My heart just went out to him and his family as he was talking about his son and his service to our country

Mark asked him if anyone in the media has contacted him since the loss of his son and he said no ... No one in the Media but Mark (and now Sean) has given him the time of day

SHAME on the MSM for ignoring these families!

Shame on them, all conservative talk show hosts should be contacting the Gold Star families and asking them to tell their stories. The new media has clout and should use it.

HE JOINED (VOLUNTARILY) WTF do they think joining the f***ing military entails - reprogramming software? It's like when someone joins the L.A.P.D and is assigned to some Fallujah-like ghetto. The pay sucks, you could be killed in duty but it's what you signed up for

Please keep in mind that Cindy's son served bravely .. not only did he volunteer for service, he also reenlisted .. and was the first to volunteer to go out and help the other troops that were pinned down the day he was killed in Iraq

He rec'd a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart

Just because his mother is a fraud ... that doesn't mean her son is

And the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your post was the Jack Nicholson movie line "The Truth? You can't handle the truth!" The left has pretty much puts its collective fingers in its group ears and is chanting LA,la, la ,la Loudly on this one.

She lost her son and that gets her a lot of slack from me....but the people who are using her are beneath contempt.

Thanks, she was my 'problem' teen.

Bet my Mom would say the same thing! Some of us "problem teens" realize a good thing like military service when we see it, and know deep down we need/want it.

Put the tissue down and pat yourself on the back. :)

That is the most important thing for any of us, because death is just as final whether it comes while fighting a war on foreign soil, in a car accident on our nation's highways, or from natural causes, etc. Thank God for mothers like you, Paula.

I was a problem Teen and I have been walking the straight and narrow since I turned 18 and I woke up to realize that it wasn't the right way to go.

You did good in raising her,because she realized that their are better things to life then causing your parents grieve.

She now is a brave and proud young woman ,that makes her parents proud and I salute her for that.

Now won't that be a surprise for her.

No crying you'll smudge the print and then I can't read your posts.:)

Her husband, who WAS complementary of Bush's visit with them...has left the witch because of her antics...

Can't wait for the MSM to track him down and get his take on all this blather by ex Cindy.

They're such bloodhounds!
Just like when they found the 86 y.o. Mrs. Knox, TANG Col Killian's former secretary, to tell us that though the CBS found documents were forged, they expressed a valid sentiment of her dead boss.
