Reply #3: Bush supporter [View All]

"Late that night, a car pulled up at the campsite. There was a woman at the wheel, and she was crying.

She was a Bush supporter who lives in the area, but her son was about to be shipped off to Iraq. She had made a special trip out here to complain about the long row of white crosses the protesters had planted along the side of the road -- each cross bearing the name of a fallen soldier. "Y'all are breaking my heart!" she cried. "My son hasn't gone yet, and I have to see those crosses every morning." She collected herself, wailed, and cried again, "You've broken one woman's heart!" "

That really says it all, doesn't it? Her son is being sent off to an unnecessary war and it's Ms. SHEEHAN'S FAULT that she's upset about it. This kind of thinking still astounds me.
