I would love to see something like that happen. How dare they use these names without permission of the families.

They kept replacing the cross with Mr. Qualls' son's name on it? How absolutely despicable. They have no respect for anyone.

I heard on Rush's show the other day that when the family went to remove the cross these idiots started shouting that their son was a murderer. So I wondered, why would they set up a memorial to a bunch of 'murderers'?

Ought to get a small group, perhaps 3 family members and file a class action law suit.

Name Sheehan, Move On, et al.

Did anyone see this: "Soldiers Against Cindy Sheehan"

http://soldiersagainstcindysheehan.blogspot.com/2005/08/there-has-been-much-in-news-lately-on.html

I just emailed the link to my local TV news room. They will probably ignore it but at least they will know about it.

"We don't want to debate with people who don't understand our point of view."

Kind of sums up the whole liberal viewpoint, doesn't it?

One of them might as well say:

"We don't want to fight those who don't believe in freedom".

This story just gets worse and worse. They want it both ways Casey Sheehan was an "innocent dupe" tricked into fighting an unjust war....but if you don't want your loved one's name to be a part of their protest...your loved one is a murderer? OK, they're all nuts!

I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen. These people need to be stopped lawfully and in a way that will completely discredit them.

I wonder if having one's name copyrighted before they left for Iraq, (just in case the worst were to happen) would stop these ghouls from using one's name?

At least if they did, maybe the families could take them to court for copyright infringement. And stop them from using other people's children to further their misguided agendas.

"We're asking for a meeting with the president, period," said Michelle DeFord, whose 37-year-old son, Sgt. David W. Johnson, ... when he was killed in Iraq last fall.

So this is one of the "kids," "children," "boys and girls" being ripped from their mothers and forced to serve and die in the military?

Qualls gained attention last week when he went to Sheehan's camp, ... and removed one bearing his son's name. But he said protesters keep replacing it;

This is the most despicable action by these communist tools yet. They do not care about their dead family member. They only care about their politics and their desired defeat of PRESIDENT and the USA.

There needs to be a lawyer down there to file cease and desist orders, or whatever, on behalf of these families.

You can't fake this level of idiocy.

"We don't want to debate with people who don't understand our point of view."

LOL!!! Yeah, kinda hard to speak to people that know the Truth and will fight you with the facts. How do you respond? The best you can come up with is screaming Freedom of Speech! and calling them Nazi's in rebuttal.

Qualls gained attention last week when he went to Sheehan's camp, which has hundreds of crosses as a tribute to troops killed, and removed one bearing his son's name. But he said protesters keep replacing it; he has yanked two more crosses, saying the protesters' views are disrespectful to soldiers.

Why don't they just replace the cross with the name of the guy that lost the race in Ohio? Put Kerry's name down there too. Sure, they are alive, but at least they won't haunt you from the grave for sullying their good name by using it in an anti war demonstration.

"If I have to sacrifice my whole family for the sake of our country and world, other countries that want freedom, I'll do that," said Qualls, a friend of the local business owner who started the pro-Bush camp, Bill Johnson.

Bless Him and his Family.

FR's own Congressman Billybob has made quite an offer, which can be found in post #5 and is as follows:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1463880/posts

Letter to John Armor. Esq.:

We understand that the name of our son [NAME] is being used by Cindy Sheehan and others as part of an anti-war demonstration in Crawford, Texas. We deny any right of Ms. Sheehan to use the name of our son, and his death in Iraq, for any such purpose.

Therefore, we authorize John Armor, Esq., as our attorney in this matter, and authorize him to go to the site of this demonstration, go onto public property like any other citizen, and either remove the cross bearing the name of our son, or to obliterate his name on that cross, so his name is not associated in any way with that demonstration.

Enclosed is $1 to confirm that Mr. Armor is our legal representative in this matter, with full authority to speak and act in our behalf to protect the good name of our son, and of the nation for which we fought.

Signed, [PARENT] [PARENT]

Once I get at least 20 such letters in hand, I will go to Crawford to carry out those instructions. I will ask some of the larger and better-trained counter demonstrators to accompany me on this effort, as it is logical to expect that the Sheehan people will attempt violence to prevent me from carrying out these instructions.

I will also undertake this project on behalf of FreeRepublic, as well.

Eagles up.

Congressman Billybob

Are the crosses still beside the road? Or did the whackadoodles move them to the ranch they are now invading.

It just goes to show you that their real agenda has nothing whatsoever to do with Casey.

Another lie: today on Fox News Fred Barnes and Juan Williams were discussing Cindy Sheehan et. al, and Juan said that, according to Cindy, her son, Casey, was having doubts about the mission to Iraq and was becoming disillusioned. I'd like to have proof! And no forged documents, please.
