You are, of course, correct. She is a grieving parent – she is dead wrong, and her comments may be, inadvertently, harmful to our troops, so I wish she would be quite – but she is not a traitor. Unless some of the people criticizing you have direct evidence that she wants the United States to fail, then they are, in effect, McCarthites.
One can be wrong, as she is, and still not be a traitor. Intent is a key component of treachery.
I do not think the woman is rational – grief can do terrible things – she in the past spoke better of Bush. I have never lost a child so, while I assert she is wrong, I will cut her some slack.
It is almost certain that we do have traitors among us, we should reserve the word for the real thing.
She's in it with Code Pink and they don't colour Easter eggs. Maybe you need to check out who Sheehans friends are.
You need to step beyond how you "feel" about this woman and her plight, as horrid and sad as it is. You must educate yourself on who and what she is aligned with. The people that are her handlers work every waking moment for the destruction of our great Nation.
I see nothing in her demeanor that would lead me to believe that she is incoherent as to her actions. She is aware that her words have consequences, and she is so sure of her righteousness that she will ignore the truth for the "greater good".
I am not attacking you; I just want to point out that you are uninformed as to who and what this woman really is, and that she is DEAD wrong... and a TRAITOR!
If you call me a McCarthy-ite, I will be forced to call you a dim. Fair enough?
