If we've learned one thing about "Camp Qualls"...folks there can't SPELL.

1. Not only that...

they can't write straight and they have bad grammar.

:evilgrin:

[Riddler]

36. I wonder if the family's who want the crosses removed....

sent a thank you note to the Bushbot asshat who ran over them with a truck.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

2. Looks like they could use some penmanship lessons too.

nt

[bribri16]

27. The crosses at Camp Casey were the only public honor these dead

soldiers have received. Otherwise, America doesn't even know their names.

[ironman202]

3. They are pathologically bad spellers....

must be all the home schooling

[castiron]

5. D'oh, that's bad! Home schoolers are ....

well, okay, no, that's fair. Must also be all that lack of vaccination and general booklessness of the household.

[Maat]

4. Maybe Camp Casey should remove their names.

And just replace those crosses with plain white crosses.

That will help the world and those families so much.

:sarcasm:

[castiron]

6. Yes, and then the problem of iconophobia and political infantilism

will be solved forever.

[Waya]

7. Yea, well.....

..the qualities of the 'Leader' are reflected in the Followers.....

[SledDriver]

24. That's actually a good idea.

Keep the cross, but lose the name. :thumbsup:

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. That handwriting looks as bad as mine, but at least i can spell

"Loved ones" and "Families"

I think most people that have poor penmanship know they do so why would that person not ask someone else to write the sign?

Just curious

[castiron]

9. they aren't bothered by self-reflection or a concern what others think

[Waya]

11. That much....

...is obvious.......

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. STRIKINGLY accurate summation of the rethug mindset!!!!

well and succinctly put!


Welcome to DU!! :hi:

[castiron]

14. oh, hey thanks, if that's for me!

How many posts till I'm with the in-crowd? HA! I LOVE that Mamas and Papas song!

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. Don't sweat it, pal.....EVERYONE on this board had 72 posts at one time

or another. Took me almost 2 years to get to 1000 cause i do more reading than posting. Welcome aboard.

[sunnystarr]

26. Welcome to DU castiron !

I've been here about a year or so and I'm not in the in-crowd lol.. Wanna start an out-crowd? :grouphug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. It's those...

pesky apostrophes floating around everywhere that drive me insane.

Freaking morons.
FSC

[uncle ray]

23. hey, give them a break

after all, there's only three of them there.

[Toots]

34. and besides.... They don't care

"We don't Care"....."We don't Care"

[castiron]

10. These people GALL me: they ARE my relatives,

but I utterly despise them.

[Botany]

13. Edit as needed ..... hahahaha

Family's that want their Love ones Cross Removed from Cindy Sheehan's camp site.

:bounce:

Families who want to have the cross bearing the name of a loved one
removed from Camp Casey, please sign here: ?????????

I's not dumb ...... I's listens to Rush megadittos.

:rofl:

[KC21304]

16. What a coincidence. Two named James Beckstrand.

And they both want their cross removed. Hmmm.

[Bucky]

31. One of them has the middle name of a comma, so they're different guys

But keep in mind that James Beckstrand's family has lost their son/brother/father in a war and must be haunted by the fact that the war was entirely optional, a vanity war waged because that's where the oil was. I won't judge people harshly who've gone thru (and must continue to live with) that kind of trauma. Every ounce of their hearts must struggle to believe that James's death was for a good cause, for a worthy goal that promoted something beside Halliburton's annual report.

If James's family is united in saying remove the cross, then remove the cross. They've more than earned their say.

[KC21304]

35. Oh, I wasn't commenting at all on the Beckstrand's

choice of removing James's cross. Or the James' cross, what ever the case may be. I was suggesting maybe Mr Qualls thought 18 names looked much more impressive than 17.

[patdem]

32. No, didn't you notice the comma between the 2nd James, Beckstrand

Means his name is Beckstrand James. Just a silly coincidence??? :rofl:

[jobycom]

18. I'm having fun reading it as it's actually written

It seems to say that some family owns several "that," and those "that" want their love (I'm sure we can all relate). Oh yeah, and one of the that must be angry about something.

[Carla in Ca]

19. You have probably seen the threads on the moran

at Faux who gave out the address of the family in La Habra, Ca. on the air. One of the vandals spray painted 'Terrist' on the house. In my email to Faux, I suggested that it represented the average IQ of their viewers.

[Libby2]

20. That is why

IMHO I think the crosses should be left blank.

But I'm not there, and I wouldn't dream of second guessing anyone that is there.
But back when this Qualls thing started, that was the thought I had.

[Mr_Spock]

21. Freakin morons

What the heck - are all Republicans retarded or something?

[0007]

25. ........or something is right



[mwb970]

22. That is a really sad picture.

All those names of fallen innocents, labeled with such unschooled innocence.

But the lack of education revealed in the misspellings, extra apostrophes, etc., helps explain their desperate clinging to Bush's myths. They simply don't have the resources to see through them.

Hey - at least they spelled "Sheehan" correctly!

[Mr_Spock]

28. Hey - at least they spelled "Sheehan" correctly!

They must've stenciled it from a newspaper :rofl:

[fishnfla]

29. This sort of thing irks the living hell out of me.

Why do they always do this? Why advertise how stupid you are?

I can respect having a message, and your right to express yourself. But if you are going to use the spelling, grammar, and penmanship of a second grader, it totally detracts from your message.

Beyond that,in this case, it is totally disrespecful to the troops and their families, WTF is with the comma and periods in their names?
The only thing they have left in this world besides memories is their good name, and you openly get it wrong.

Its about respect: respect for the dead, respect for yourself, and the respect for others who are read what you say.

[Bucky]

30. Respect their wishes, of course. But Cindy fights for them too.

[Totally Committed]

33. As much as I dislike these people, and what they are doing...

The other side is always saying we are smug, self-righteous intellectuals. They rope in the sheeple by repeating that mem, over and over, so as to make them think WE THINK they are stupid. So, criticize them for their policies, not their spelling!

So what if they can't spell, or their penmanship is not Palmer-method -- They are simply and absolutely wrong ideologically, spiritually, and patriotically. They lie. They hate. THEY ARE WRONG. Period.

Please, no more remarks about how they spell. Write posts about how what they believe is against everything YOU believe, and then we'll be getting somewhere!

[belle]

39. I don't think it takes being "intellectual" to note mistakes that basic.

And it's all of a piece, really, which is what I think others are saying here. Style *and* content. It's not just that they don't know; they don't want to know, and don't want to know that they don't know. Which is where blaming everybody else (i.e. us) comes in. Yeah, a lot of us could work on our smugness and self-righteousness, myself included. All the same, I'd rather be a smug intellectual than smugly ignorant.

[fishnfla]

42. How can they contend to honor the dead yet misspell the name?

I'm sorry, in this case its not just about blasting their chronic crayon scrawl.

Its offensive on every level

[Scout1071]

37. It's a telltale Freeper indicator. Their math isn't all that great either

there are only 17 names on that list, yet they claim that 40 mothers are marching towards Camp Casey to take their crosses.

[mikelewis]

38. Rarely is the question asked, is our paid protestors learning?

[lildreamer316]

41. LOL n/t

[seabeyond]

40. that's 18 not 40. i am just saying n/t
