From that link

In fact, I would be willing to furnish you a picture of my son in his casket if you would like to run it in your paper. Sort of a follow-up story that would just take it one step further than the picture shown inside the airplane with a bunch of anonymous flag-draped coffins. I don't think I can be fired, as I do not have a job!!!

I'm sorry .. but that is just plain SICK!

The showing of the caskets is an effort to recreate the effects that such photos had on the American public during the Viet Nam War. The left is obsessed with the notion that they can return to the protest days of the 60s and 70s by recreating the same tactics at play during the Viet Nam War. Most of these tactics were developed by the brightest of Soviet Communist operatives at work in our universities. The residue of this influence is now trying its best to rear its ugly drug infested head in the world. The tools of the left are fools who would dismantle the moral framework of the Western Capitalistic system and slide down the primal ooze into a primitive tribal reto-Woodstock world.
