I guess this means grieving mothers should be ignored?

[Ma3lst0rm]

Unless you are a Cindy Sheehan. The Press is traitorous.

[Polybius]

I guess this means grieving mothers should be ignored?

Only the ones that do not advance the liberal media's political agenda.

MSM Hypocrites-In-Action bump

[mountn man]

Unless of course its Cindy Sheehag

I guess this means grieving mothers should be ignored?

but but - isn't that supposed to be the whole raison d'etre of cindiii Shehamm's campaign? Aren't we all supposed to bow down and take anything she dishes out because she's a grieving mom? (We'll totally ignore her lifetime of liberal peacenik rantings and demonstrating, long before there was a war - We'll totally ignore that she is using her son's sacrifice against all he beleived in - a real hero - re-uped to go back because he beleived in it)

This MSM ignoring the mothers that wont mouth the antiwar mantra needs to be Be brought front and center...

we should alert Brush, Fox, all of them -

San Jose reporters spoke with her, she said, but didn’t use her comments.
“They didn’t like what I had to say,” she figured. “They said that because I had just lost my son, that I couldn’t be impartial about my feelings toward the war.”

Murky Nuz reporters biased?? SAY IT AIN'T SO!

If we had today's Mainstream Media around during WW2 we would all be speaking German and wearing Nazi armbands.

My feeling is that the people who cheered and yelled when the thing first started are not as gung ho as they once were,” said John Treantos, a retired U.S. Marine and member of the American Legion Post 172.

Could someone tell me why credence is given to these Depends-wearing vets who have turned as toothless as Code Pink?

Go back and read about the numbers of military killed in WWII. As a percentage, the number of KIA in Iraq is nothing compared to WWII. Same for the percentage of the GDP spent on the war. Iraq/Afghanistan is nothing compared to WWII.

Has everybody forgotten sacrifice for a more important goal?

What will the cost in lives and GDP if the Islamofascists nuke NYC and DC?

[Frank_2001]

And Japanese, west of the Mississippi!

Because It's not their fault people have been brainwashed by the media to expect defeat. He's right in what he says, people aren't as Gung Ho as they once were, I blame the media's constant bombardment of bad news.

“They didn’t like what I had to say,” she figured. “They said that because I had just lost my son, that I couldn’t be impartial about my feelings toward the war.”

And George Bush lives in a bubble.

[God luvs America]

the media in this nation is guilty of criminal neglect.

Two quick postscripts: The San Jose Mercury News was bought by McClatchey News this past week and is part of the papers it intended to sell to finance the papers it wants to keep. I don't know who will be buying the Mercury.

Second, Brandon Dewey, whose mother was quoted there, was the inspiration for a song that is apparently growing in popularity among Gold Star families called, I believe, "Good Night, Soldier".

“They said that because I had just lost my son, that I couldn’t be impartial about my feelings toward the war.”

But....but....but...

Armellino, who moved to Tracy from upstate New York five years ago, is unapologetic for her anti-war feelings, but she understands supporters of the war. “You can’t think what your son or daughter is doing is wrong,” she said.

Gawd, I just cannot abide these people.

[Miss Marple]

I can't, either. I wish I had a giant ZOT button for them.

I think they should be down on their knees thanking God for His mercy.

[armymarinemom]

It happens all of the time. The MSM does it's best to stop families who support our loved ones and their mission from speaking out.

They complained when we weren't organizing and now that families are organizing they refuse to speak to the groups.

[Mike Darancette]

Treantos says he supports the troops, but he’s tired of the killing, particularly because so much of it comes at the hands of stateless insurgents on suicide missions.

And just what does this git think the definition of a terroist is?

[Rembrandt]

I would bet anything that Treantos was never in a war zone. Living and working in one has a way of cementing one's opinion on the side of "let's get these bastidges."
