The 4 widow's are no better than Sheehan.
All of them are using grief to make political statements.
What is Christian about using grief for political and personal gain?
For those here at FR defending them and condemning Ann better think twice because these 4 and Sheehan are using their grief to besmearch President Bush, Rice and the administration and worked to get Kerry elected.
I am not defending Ann'a words in the book but her words did cut thru to the crux of the matter.
After much thinking and hearing a few other things I decided against buying the book.
Those 4 are still using their victimhood to promote their hate speech and that is not right. The other families of 911 aren't out there using the deaths of their loved ones for personal gain or for political reasons as these 4 are. Some have said what Ann said wasn't Christian what is Christian about using their loved ones for political reasons and condemning the President? It wasn't the President who caused 911 it was the terroists.
Some have mentioned their children and what will the children think about what Ann said. Well what about what they said themselves about watching their husbands (fathers) burn to death, what about that their mothers are teaching them hatred for President Bush?
Ann shouldn't have said what she did or maybe could of at the very least said it not as abrasive but point well taken and I refuse to defend Ann's words and book and refuse to defend those 4 jersey women because by talking against Ann and her book is defending the 4 awful women.
Don't you think it may be a bit disingenuous to applaud "what" someone did, but complain about "how" they did it?
I for one think that's a political/public relations version of expecting a soldier to act like a cop.
One should never expect to be humoured when trying to both "ask for help" and "supervise."
