  That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:
  Love

  To Whom it May Concern:
 

  Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.

[SNIP]

  I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
 

  The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
 

  Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
 

  It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
 

  I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.

No kidding! ! ! lol.

It's what it looks like to me.

[Alexander Rubin]

Well, in that case I owe and offer you an apology. A lot of people here believe that in times of trouble, you get behind the leaders willing to do something about it, flaws and all. Including yours truly.

The war could have been handled better but I believe it to be necessary. As do a lot of people here. And we are still chasing Osama, that terrorist mama. Also, I didn't call you an anti-semite, although I did suspect you of being a leftie. I'm sorry.

But passionate hate is kind of a warning sign for a lot of folks here, as I think you now understand. Noone here supports insanity, lies and waste (aside from a few DUmmie trolls). At most, people here will overlook it. And more likely only temporairily.

[iconoclast]

It hasn't been attacked since 9/11 because we've taken the fight to the enemy on the enemy's turf.

Party line nonsense.

That theory didn't work out real well for LBJ and the Democrats and the Pubs are apparently about to get their hard lesson.

I believe the operative phrase there is "only temporarily".

Counterpunch.org material is not wanted on FR. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know.

Could you be so kind to post the list of those unwanted by FR. Thanks so much.

Sure. This list is good to keep handy:

Cindy is being exploited, willingly ~ a pox on her!

Even her family wants her her to dummy up. *sigh*

[Alia]

Yes.

When my offspring was serving early on in Afghanistan -- there were numerous "people", who upon learning this fact -- would say things like:

"I'd never allow my child to do that -- I LOVE my child". The implied being obvious. Or, the other one -- and the one which usually comes out of lefty mouths subliminally: Your offspring is evil -- like you.

The Sheehan family is probably hearing those approximates on a regular basis. And while they are in keen mourning. The leftists and clueless and Democrats (this morning, addits Kennedy and Kerry have jumped aboard the Sheehan spacecraft) are simply -- not respectful, have no compassion, respect no diversity, have no tolerance. They see only Zul: their politics. What's another "dead baby" to the left? Nothing worth noting, obviously.

Roger that Alia ~ here is an email from our liberal DIL sent to my wife this morning:

"Subject: Tell your friends: Support Cindy Sheehan"

At 08:53 PM 8/10/2005, you wrote:

"MoveOn is taking out an ad in President Bush's local newspaper in support of Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq who is camped outside Bush's ranch in Texas asking for a meeting with the president. They'll publish the number of signers and the best comments in a full two-page spread in the newspaper nearest to Crawford (The Waco Tribune Herald) while Cindy holds her vigil. Can you sign and spread the word before the 3:00 PM Friday print deadline?

http://political.moveon.org/meetwithcindy/"

My wife's reply:

"I hate to tell you this, BUT Michael Moore is supporting her in this shameful sit in. Her & her son didn't get along all that well, had different views on politics & the service. He was a dedicated Marine & when she protests to the Prez, she dishonors her son. Her son lived mostly with his father & step mother. She's using her sons death to put-down President Bush & our involvement in Iraq. If she were honest she wouldn't use her son as an excuse to protest HER anti-war sentiment. She's a disgrace & so is this moveon.org."

[StarCMC]

Give Ms. Blackie a HUGE smooch for me, please?? She ROCKS!!

[Darksheare]

"who is camped outside Bush's ranch in Texas asking for a meeting with the president."

What is even worse and quite revealing, she ALREADY met with the President, and spoke of it in 2004 in the Vacaville newspaper.
So why does she want to meet with him again?
She either is unstable enough to do something truly stupid, or she merely wants to speak really fast and really loud in hopes that some of the DU talking points get on the air.

[blackie]

Thanks Star* ~ and I didn't even coach her. :)

I'll pass your acknowledgment along.

[blackie]

Roger that!

[Alia]

I like your Missus, Blackie! :)

[blackie]

She isn't as political as I am, but she gets it! :)

I like her too! :)

Cindy Sheehan made a TV ad for MoveOn.org in October 2004 for the presidential election. Click on the picture to see the "grieving" mother's ad. Clearly a primo ultra-lefty activist.

Guess what. Cindy Sheehan is a regular columnist at lewrockwell.com. You can view her archives at http://www.lewrockwell.com/sheehan/sheehan-arch.html.

One example column: "Dear George and Dick: I feel I can be informal, since you killed my son."

She started Goldstar Families for Peace.

Cindy (I feel I can be informal since you are are a traitorous piece of crud defiling your son's memory and using it for political purposes) will be speaking for them on Sept 10 at their Blue Angels Protest in Brunswick Maine, and Oct. 22 at Brooklyn Parents for Peace event.

This is Cindy on the cover of March 28,2005 issue of The Nation magazine. You can read her article "The New Face of Protest. She is an "ordinary grieving" mother?

Not just her, but her other two partners in Gold Star Families:
