The Press That The "Counter-Protest" Is Receiving
As if we all didn't see this coming. On Yahoo, a picture of the "counter-protest" makes not a mention of their hideous behavior. Not a mention of the pigs yelling "we don't care".

Their pathetic 30 minute "counter-protest" is nothing more than a ruse to catapult the propaganda.

We must get the truth out on this!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. yes I intend to send a letter to loca, freeper paper
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 12:17 AM by nadinbrzezinski
and here it is


To the Editor,

When the "counter protest" showed up at Camp Casey, they were kept separated by the Police. What many in the media are not reporting though was their chant. They chanted, "we don't care." Granted they don't, but they are saying this to a Gold Star Mother and the families of service members. Given that Mike Gallagher has never served in uniform, and he has four military age sons, I would suggest to Mister Gallagher to put up or shut up. Maybe then he will care. That said, we know that the likes of Mr Gallagher don't care about anything, whether the troops have enough food, or whether the troops are safe, or for that matter about the country. For them this is about loyalty to party not to the nation.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
Wife of USN Veteran.

16. Well said, nadinbrzezinski!
We have to keep saying this over and over and over again. The military is having a hard time recruiting willing young people to go fight in Iraq; why don't you go?

9. The Counter Protest - They have never served nor
have they given or sacrificed anything for their country.


Gallagher has 4-sons....If they beleive so strongly in George's war why are they not enlisting and going to Iraq.

They follow their leader and he went AWOL when it came time for him to serve.

Their protests of "We Don't Care," is a good call for them because they really "Don't Care."

3. Damn, that man looks like that hideous purple-heart-band-aid woman.
I swore, I thought that was her until I read the caption.

You do know that the most unflattering camera angle is the one that that photographer used. LOL!

5. Poor brainwashed idiots.
I am in awe that anyone at all actually can call him "President" without laughing. What a sad group of brain-deads.

6. OK, but I want to know how we get these people voting Democratic
These white conservatives, these fundamentalist Christians who hate black people, Muslims and gays.

How do we win their votes? I want those votes.

7. proof the MSM is marching on Bushler's orders
They dump coverage of the original demonstration, then media blitz the astroturf. Not that big a surprise. Completely Goebbels-esque.

This is what terrorists-supporters look like.

Beware.

10. To paraphrase a great man:
Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

11. My IQ dropped 40 points by just looking @ 'em
Just because he let bin Laden go and invaded and is now
occupying the wrong country* looking for weapons that
were not there and is making more terrorists is no reason not
to support "R Prezident"

* after blowing off 52 warnings about an al Qaeda hijacking.



Assholes!

12. Where's that Fred guy from Topeka when you need him?
Wouldn't that be some thing to see? (Him taking on the "counter-protesters" I mean).

17. They didn't mention "We don't care!" on the AOL home page either.
Guess they know it wouldn't go over very well.

19. They don't mention this poignant moment...from Scott Galindez
One of the counter demonstrators showed his humanity and while visibly shaking, asked a military family member for hug. They only stayed for a short time and then got back on their bus and went home to Irving.

20. That placard would work on the other side of the street too
If I were in Texas on the Sheehan side, I'd hold one up. Disagreeing with W's war doesn't mean you can't wish him God's blessing. In fact, it's the Christian thing to do.
