1. Yeah, because we should support the troops, but not honor them
when they die.

2. Well, if she asks...
I'm sure that they will gladly take down her son's cross.

3. Hmmmmmm
She didn't want her son to be honored? Something smells here. What mother wouldn't want to honor her son that way? I smell a rat.

9. RE: "I small a rat."
Either a rat, or a Republican operative (if there's any difference).

12. Exactly.

Swift Boat Veterans come to mind. But I'm sure there are plenty of other smear groups organized to concentrate on Cindy.

Now if we only had a true investigative news person wanting to dig into the story.......

4. Instead of going to the media, she could have simply asked that it be...
...taken down. Sounds to me like she wants attention, so she's trying to hitch her wagon to Cindy's star, albeit in a very perverse way.

6. Amazing hypocrisy.
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 12:08 PM by TahitiNut
It's just fine to exploit 'all Americans' when proclaiming that these troops have been deployed (and killed) in "defense of America's freedoms." But we sure see the political copyright when some Americans memorialize the death of the troops in the very exercise of the freedoms they (purportedly) "defended."

Fucking hypocrites! They "defended our freedom" but we sure as hell shouldn't exercise that freedom!!!

11. Wonder how this mother felt

16. Hey, just because she doen's want to honor her son doesn't mean someone
else can't. Dead soldiers'names were put on the Viet Nam memorial wall. I am sure they didn't get permission from the parents before doing that.
