Casey Sheehan’s mother wants respect for the use of her son’s memory.

I have continually asked George Bush to quit using Casey’s name and the names of the other Gold Star Families for Peace loved ones to justify his continued killing. He continues to say this: “We have to honor the sacrifices of the fallen by completing the mission.” So the mission is now this: WE MUST CONTINUE KILLING AMERICANS BECAUSE AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN KILLED!!!Perhaps she and the left-wing scum whoring out the memories of these soldiers could show some respect to someone like Gary Qualls. I’ll let Mr. Qualls speak for himself.

Military families disturbed by a sea of crosses erected by anti-war protesters near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, have removed crosses bearing the names of their fallen children and transferred them to another site to show support for American troops in Iraq.

Anti-war protesters “never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause,” said Gary Qualls, whose son was killed in Iraq. “They are not respecting our sons and daughters.”

The rival cross camps are evidence of a growing public backlash against the anti-war campaign of California activist Cindy Sheehan, who blames Mr. Bush for son Casey’s death in Iraq and has called for immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gregg Garvey’s son, Army Sgt. Justin Garvey, 23, was killed in Iraq in July 2003. On Tuesday, Mr. Garvey of Keystone Heights, Fla., removed two crosses bearing the name of his son that were posted at the Sheehan demonstration site—dubbed “Camp Casey”—outside the Bush ranch.

“I also picked up crosses of two colleagues [of his son], after their parents gave me permission to remove their crosses as well,” Mr. Garvey said yesterday.

The crosses were erected by a group called Veterans for Peace as part of Mrs. Sheehan’s protest that began Aug. 6.

“One by one, [Mrs. Sheehan’s] crosses are coming down,” said Mr. Qualls, whose son, Louis Qualls, 20, was a Marine reservist killed in Fallujah last fall.

Mr. Qualls, an Army veteran from Penwell, Texas, said he has removed three different crosses bearing his son’s name from the nearly 600 erected on the narrow road leading to Mr. Bush’s ranch. Each time he removed a cross, protesters replaced it, he said.

Last weekend, Mr. Qualls transferred the crosses to a site in downtown Crawford that’s been nicknamed “Fort Qualls.” Mr. Garvey moved his son’s crosses there as well. By yesterday afternoon, friends and relatives of 13 other fallen soldiers had followed suit.

“More are on the way,” Mr. Qualls said, based on the number of e-mails, letters and phone calls of support he has received. [Emphasis mine]
Is anyone surprised? Does anyone think, for a second, that these despicable people actually care about these soldiers? They care about them only as far as their value as instruments of propaganda to get publicity for their radical left-wing agenda. But hey, why care what the other parents of these dead soldiers think? After all, Casey Sheehan’s mother speaks for all of them, doesn’t she? And if she doesn’t, well, fuck them. They’re brainwashed.

Wow - great comic. Full marks. Love the "pretty much proves" part. Is that like "virtually spotless” Fuck you are a tool.

What's funny, and I say this with all sincerity, I can never remember which wing that comic supports untill I read it.

I know it's very drastic one way or the other, and I've read like 15 of them, but I can never remember.

8/29/2005 9:36:58 AM

the best one was the one someone edited with michael moore eating a baby.

8/29/2005 9:40:02 AM

They're all a bunch of nutjobs.


On a side note, has anyone else noticed that GGMon is starting to fall in line with pryderi and salisburyboy? I mean, with the excessive biased URL postings and full copy/paste action...

8/29/2005 10:16:42 AM

They're all the same person.

8/29/2005 10:18:39 AM

Id say GGmon is taking it to the next level. Now he's just flaming one specific party with (quite obviously) opinionated nonsense. At least pryderi and salisburyboy's rants try to be proselytical.

8/29/2005 10:45:47 AM

i will give you salisburyboy but pryderi's soapbox threads continually poke at the right and GWB

8/29/2005 11:08:56 AM

Actually he has been getting worse since GGMon started posting.

8/29/2005 11:23:56 AM

Yeah pryderi always tries to make discussion with his threads at least. GGMon simply slams the left repeatedly with ad hominem attacks and asks the obligitory rhetorical question.

8/29/2005 11:33:12 AM

he does the same exact thing pryderi does


neither of them are salisburysteakboy

8/29/2005 11:52:47 AM

GGmon is like our own Ann Coulter. except with more swearing and less looks.

8/29/2005 1:08:15 PM

^ Hard to say anything about looks as I've never met GGMon.

8/29/2005 1:26:06 PM

^true. but she's has to be the best looking conservative spitter...besides Mrs. Bush

8/29/2005 3:02:57 PM

Those poor families are being used by Bush and the right-wing neocons for their agenda of death and war profiteering.

8/30/2005 8:24:23 AM

pryderi - do you actually believe the vomit that spews from your keyboard? Just because war makes your little tummy uncomfortable - does not make anyone who supports the war a "profiteer". Listen, you have to respect that many in this country believe the battles for freedom and safety are justified. You may not like it, you may try to spread likes to justify you "tummy ache" - but I’ll be damned if your are going to sit on your Apple and tell these people their sons and daughters are sacrificing so much for nothing.

The only war profiteer I have experienced throughout this war is Michael Moore. He used lies in the name of the troops and made over 100 million dollars.

8/30/2005 8:46:55 AM

that sounds like a personal shot
so

Here's an interesting read

Quote :

"Cunningham issue raises questions of war profiteering It’s easy to see the Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.) saga as some sort of congressional comic opera. After all, here we have a former Navy ace-turned-back-bench congressman. We find out he’s livin’ large free of charge (or nearly so) courtesy of a fast-rising defense contractor who’s helped Duke buy a fancy new house with a thinly disguised cash payment of three-quarters of a million dollars. Then it turns out that when it comes to cash-n-carry congressional work the Duke must go by that maxim that if you would sin, sin greatly. Because the contractor, Mitchell Wade, has also arranged for Duke to live on a fancy 40-foot yacht docked down on the Potomac when he’s spending time in D.C. representing the rest of his constituents besides Mitchell Wade. But there’s a more serious part of this story — one that’s only now starting to get its deserved attention. That is, what exactly were Wade and MZM Inc. buying with all that largesse to Cunningham and other members of Congress — such as Virgil Goode (R-Va.) and Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) — who received hefty helpings of campaign dough? Remember, MZM isn’t getting contracts for government-issue pencils or running concession stands at federal parks. MZM is involved in some of the most sensitive and critical work our government is now doing to protect citizens and soldiers alike. According to an article that appeared yesterday in the San Diego Union-Tribune, one of the three main services MZM is providing to the U.S. government is something called “counterintelligence field activity.” The Union-Tribune describes it as “a highly secretive program created in 2002 by a Pentagon directive that focuses on gathering intelligence to avert attacks like the ones on Sept. 11, 2001.” Other services include providing translators for troops stationed in Iraq, undisclosed services at CentCom Headquarters in Florida, as well as battlefield intelligence at U.S. Army intelligence installations at Fort Belvoir and Charlottesville, Va. These are, to put it mildly, pretty important jobs — ones that, it is no exaggeration to say, many of our lives may well depend on. And that should prompt us to ask the question: If Mitchell Wade and Co. had to lavish so much money on Duke Cunningham to get sufficient help to land all these contracts, were MZM’s services really the best on offer? And if they were, why was MZM having such a tough time landing contracts — as reported in the Union-Tribune and the North-County Times — before the company’s CEO got so intimately involved in upgrading Cunningham’s accommodations in D.C. and back in the district? On its website, MZM says it’s involved in providing “force protection” and dealing with improvised explosive devices, the homemade roadside bombs that are killing and maiming so many American soldiers and Marines in Iraq. So we must also ask: Are there American servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq making do with second- or third-best because of Cunningham’s new house and fancy waterborne digs in D.C.? No doubt that’s a question Democrats will be happy to ask, as well they should. But the question goes beyond partisan politics and whether Duke Cunningham is yet another bought-and-paid-for member of Congress. Over the past three and a half years, the United States has spent hundreds of billions of dollars toughening our homeland defenses and fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the nature of things many of the particulars of just what’s being paid for and who’s being paid are shielded from full public view. That’s understandable and necessary. But it also opens up a vast opportunity for abuse. And the only body really capable of reining in such abuses is Congress itself. Take a look at MZM’s meteoric rise over the past three years and you see that its business model seems mainly focused on lathering up a few key members of Congress. Is it really true that individual members of Congress, while pocketing loads of dollars from defense contractors, are playing such a pivotal role in choosing which companies get key contracts? And is that the best way to win the war on terrorism? Are things really going so well in Iraq that we can afford to organize our troop supplies by the law of the campaign contribution? From the Civil War to the Second World War, the United States has never fought a major military conflict in which war profiteering did not play some role. It would be surprising if the same weren’t true today — particularly with the major push to outsource so many tasks once done by the military itself. And that’s the real story behind the Cunningham debacle: corruption in military contracting and a Congress that is unwilling to police itself. Whoever makes that their issue, Republican or Democrat, will do the nation a very big favor."
