7. Thank you for the link to that video. It's a damn shame
that none of the corporate media didn't show some of it on their various outlets last night.

The response of the counter-protest yesterday, a whole 30 minutes worth of gutless wonders shouting "we don't care" should be shown to the American people as well.

Their shouting "we don't care" beautifully sums Chimpy's attitude as well as their own.

I cannot honestly understand how anyone could shout "we don't care" to people who have lost family in this mindless debacle in Iraq. IMHO these freaks have not one ounce of human compassion in their souls, hearts or minds.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!

11. Bush and his thugs
should be tied to their chairs and forced to watch that over and over again for the rest of their lives.

I hope you continue to add to it has more military families come to the vigils.

"The families of the fallen." No one has more authority to speak out than them. It is shameful that none of our official "representatives" has joined her there.

26. Thanks for bringing this video to us Will.
It has me totally choked up and I'm definitely going to pass it on to all my friends and family.

I'm coordinating with my mother and sister for a road trip to Crawford next week.

Thanks again for the terrific coverage.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 05:45 AM by deacon
the others parents who have lost a child in this war are being so harshly trashed by the bush loyalists and people in the media.

They simply do not deserve such vicious attacks. These people are together and they are distressed,disgusted and fed up- they are sick about losing their loved ones--and they are conducting themselves in an extremely peaceful manner.

They are anything but "kooks."

It's dawned on me that since bush made his statements about this event, that if he meant what he said, he would act like a man and real president and come out with strong comments to denounce these vicious attacks against all parents who have lost a son or a daughter. Lead by example. This would be the honorable thing to do instead of allowing this country to incur yet even more deep division.

He should stand up and put an end to this war on parents.

Too, Fox News and bush loyalists seem to be REALLY exposing themselves for what they are on a much grander scale with how they are reacting to this. The are showing America just how despicable they are.
