Nothing is out of the political ballpark for Republicans.
They have been willing to make the Berg tragedy a political issue. They have accused others of willingly keeping the prison abuse story on the front pages instead of showing the beheading of the young American. They are beside themselves because they thought it would be politically advantageous to them if they could somehow supplant the prison abuse story with the gruesome Berg story. They were primarily concerned with the political consequences of the story. It is shocking the extent the Repubs will go for a political advantage. Nothing is out of bounds. They are a disgrace. Seriously.

1. Absolutely
And I find it particularly galling when government and propoganda shills try to manufacture outrage in direct opposition to the wishes and feelings of the families involved.

2. Not even having their contractors cut off a guy's head.
What's another head of cattle to the power elite?

3. And they accuse Democrats of "playing politics"...
They always accuse others of what they are guilty of themselves. Remember Newt Gingrich and that crowd that jumped all over Bill Clinton when they were doing things even worse?

8. Really busy right now
with the playoffs and the webmaster is sick. Been like that for a few days. It's a great place though. It is an evolution from the old Philly.com site. It's the best Flyers board I've seen and a lot of cool people too.
