i haven't read the rest of this thread... because this POS statement stopped me in my tracks:
>>>1 - they invited the mother of a slain Marine, one who was probably pre-vetted to make sure she actually supported the war <<<
i have news for you.. Marine mothers don't need to be "vetted" to make sure they support the war their sons are fighting in. you know NOT what you are talking about. and i urge you to STFU - your unbelievable ignorance is stripped bare naked.
We've all seen the parents of dead soldiers the left has adopted, ones that for whatever reason don't support the war. We've also seen people claiming to be parents of dead soldiers that are lying. Of course the person has to be vetted. I garauntee they got at least one "volunteer" who was hoping to sneak past the checks and do some idiotic protest during the speech.
