1. "Republicans are trying to sweep the dead under the carpet!"
That should be a democratic talking point.

6. So let me get this straight................
.....it's patriotic to send almost 2600 American people to their deaths it's just not patriotic to show their flag-draped coffins after their dead. Is that pretty much it???? :wtf:

22. That's a great pic! Can I use it in a blog post
tomorrow? It's getting way too late for it tonight.

The esteemed :sarcasm: Republican Congressman hereabouts, JD Hayworth, posted an open letter on his website calling for his Democratic challenger Harry Mitchell (see my sig) to condemn the DCCC's use of the coffin image or be guilty of profiting from "the exploitation of our fallen heroes."

I've been researching defense industry contributions to JD in preparation for a post about the hypocrisy of his "letter".

Thanks!

38. We saw pics like these every day during Vietnam....
in the papers, on the TV, on the news when there was real news....

that's why people were out in the streets protesting, along with the draft of course. BushCo is hiding all of this media with help from their lapdogs so the American people stay in its collective coma.

:cry:

16. They're only "unpatriotic"
Because each one of them reminds the Rethugs that another American soldier has died in their immoral, senseless war. Rethugs don't like to be bothered with facts you know.

17. The patriotic thing to do when soldiers die, is to just ignore them
Oh and when they die, just refer to them as numbers. THAT is patriotic! :sarcasm:

30. I heard that also those representatives who want an
apology, I would just love to slap these guys in the face. they play that guilt trip crap on dems, and dems should not apologize for telling/showing the truth. Americans need to see those coffins coming back to show that there are many dying for a lie.

Is the DCCC "America Needs a New Direction" video offensive?
Yes, it dishonors our troops
No, it's a legitimate critique
