"Go Home Cindy" T-Shirts! Get 'em while they're hot!
/sarcasm on

From the patriots who brought you the famous "Club Gitmo" and "Pro-War" shirts, comes the latest clever apparel from Metrospy:

"Go Home Cindy, Stop dishonoring your son's honorable sacrifice"

(I shit you not)

Here:

Metrospy's page:

I sent them a suggestion for their Go Home Cindy T-Shirts:

You should include a short paragraph on the back that says: Cindy, soldiers like your son have given their lives so people like you can have the freedom to speak out. Therefore, the only way to honor that sacrifice is by choosing to keep your goddamn trap shut, you America-hating bitch.

/sarcasm off

2. What a sick fuck.
'Pro-War'? They why isn't he/she in Iraq?

Oh, right, then who would make the t-shirts to smear a grieving mom?

5. I can't wrap my mind around anyone being Pro war?
I really can't.

8. Me either.
When I hear stories of troops dying in Iraq and hear the family say things like 'he died doing what he loved', I can't understand it.

Died killing? Killing innocents? I just don't get it. It is really tough to be a pacifist in this country at this time.

3. The more they attack her, the worse they come off
and that's the fact.

Attacking a war vet can be accomplished if that vet does not vehemently defend themselves. That gives an appearance of weakness and that was the trap Kerry fell in.

Attacking a griving mother comes off as viscious, cruel, and evil.

The more they do it, the more we win.

4. I agree with you, Walt.
It makes people uncomfortable. There is the whole 'walk in her shoes' thing, too. People don't want to be in her position, and I think it makes people uncomfortable when they attack her.

6. I agree with you whole-heartedly
but I know that won't stop those loser asses from taking stabs at the poor woman. Remember, all they have to do is say, "Un-American!" and "Freedom!" and the white-trash uneducated losers will still follow them. :(

9. Beautifully put, Walt
Simple and eloquently as usual. I wish I had your gift for boiling down the facts into pithy and straight-forward statements. Sigh. :loveya:

7. How the fuck would any of them know
are they mothers of soldiers who have fallen in battle?

Soldiers of America look closely at how this side of the aisle wants to treat your Mothers. It was ok for her to give birth to her child, but she must not try to stop what killed her son? Stupid idiot people make me sick.

10. Here's a song for the sickos who made that shirt
Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


Why not leave it to those who are willing
To stand with Gold Star Families for Peace
All we want is to stop all the killing
We demand the occupation must cease

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


Why not leave it to dear Mrs. Sheehan
And her hard-working friends from Code Pink
And the brave souls who staff Crawford Peace House
As they stand in the ditch with her and sing

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


Why not leave it to Democratic Underground
And the Pastors and Veterans for Peace
And to those who will stay 'til Bush meets Cindy
Only then can this grim vigil cease

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


For you left it to chickenhawks and toadies
Now we're governed by fascists and slaves
And a coward has mowed down our crosses
And dishonored the home of the brave

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


For you left it to folks like Rush Limbaugh
Bill O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes
For they don't give a damn for Cindy's heartbreak
They don't care if our troops make it home

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


For you left it to Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld
As they schemed up a fictitious war
And they screamed "Weapons of Mass Destruction"
And they made our hallowed Congress their whore

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


Now we stand with the families of the fallen
As we clean up the mess you have made
For asleep at the switch is how we found you
Now your nation is utterly betrayed

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


If you stand against the people, take this warning
One day soon, Bush's tyranny will cease
Your defeat will be our brightest morning
And America will greet the world with peace

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame


Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

12. I hope they all get them - promotes the cause - the fools
I hope they all identify themselves with these shirts - they promote her cause indirectly AND they are painting a large target on thier back!
