BTTT

[Critical Bill]

I want to do serious damage to these terrorist left wing arseholes. Of course I won't unless defending myself ( please attack me...pretty pleease)

[TheDon]

The libs are masters at taking the greatest strength of their opposition and turning it on it's head. Ditto in regards to their greatest weaknesses.

[kinoxi]

unfortunately in the age of cair and aclu type organizations, legislation ma be needed to help deter this.

[appleharvey]

"...To place the burden on grieving families by having them go on bended knee to people who denigrate the sacrifices made by their loved ones is unconscionable."

Only by making the mistaken assumption that these people possessed a conscience.

[kinoxi]

ma = may

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"I urge the American Friends Service Committee to put decency before politics and honor the requests by these and other families by immediately removing the names of their loved ones from the Eyes Wide Open display."


Unfortunately, he's looking for decency among people who can't even understand the concept.

[AppyPappy]

You rock. Great job

*waves to tgsl*

Kristinn Taylor, who has two family members in the service, one on the front-line in Afghanistan and one who recently returned from the Middle East, personally made the request this morning to the national tour director of the exhibit by handing him a list of 353 fallen heroes whose families have requested their names not be used in antiwar propaganda displays such as Eyes Wide Open.

Well done, kristinn.

Pain and suffering..sue them all.

[Non-Sequitur]

I urge the American Friends Service Committee to put decency before politics...

Fat freakin' chance of that ever happening.

[the_Watchman]

Just to add insult to injury, consider that Cindy's son would probably not even agree with her on having his name used by President Bush.

[Doctor Raoul]

These people are NOT Quakers for the most part. The guy the AFSC puts out as their public spokesman is a guy named Carlos. How many Quakers do you know named Carlos? Well this guy won't be the first because he's NOT a Quaker. He's not even religous.

Quakers would have the decency and common courtesy to respect the wishes of those families who do not want their loved one's names used in this manner. But the AFSC couldn't even be bothered to ask permission before, much less honor the request made by 350 familiy members today.

The American Friends Servioce Committee is a bunch of grave robbing bastards. They rob the sacred dead of the sympathy and gratitude that the public feels and uses it against those still in harm's way. And when those in harm's way die, they will rob that grave too.

Bastards, grave robbing bastards.

This isn't even close to a "silver lining" given the despicable partisanship on display, but given that these pacifistic, dhimmi-wanna-be's have to stoop so low below the bottom of the barrel to get their message out only proves that like Al Qaeda in Iraq, the anti-war nuts are losing and they know it...

[SE Mom]

God forgive me, I hate these people.

[Angelwood]

Thanks for posting this information. Bumping to the top.

[rlmorel]

Well, I would have no problem defacing their display or whatever the hell it is. I would just forcibly remove the names of those men whose families want them off. I would accept jail time to do so.

I emailed these two Arizona Gold Star dads with the story:



When they encounter moonbats at protests with pictures of fallen heros (which they used to do a lot) these guys make them take off the pictures of their sons immediately. I haven't seen one of those signs around here for a while.
