If they can attack the integrity of Cindy Sheehan, who can they not attack
If they can attack a mother who has lost a son in the war, is anyone exempt from their attacks? People such as Howard Dean and John Kerry and Hillary Clinton are easy targets, whenever the right-wing are permitted by the media's assistance, to attack the mother of a dead soldier.

Does/did KKKarl Rove have a mother?

3. Agreed.
IMHO, the phrase "are permitted by the media's assistance" is important. I've been screaming this for a long time. We need to hold each and every one of those bastards accountable for their willing compliance. It's not enough that we hold out politicians accountable. The media has betrayed us, IMO, as well.

Peace.

6. You're right, Kentuck.

As their big mouths open wider and spew more hate, they are in fact busy digging their own graves.

There's another thread here that's entitled: "Casey knew what he was getting into; he volunteered".

And that's the whole point of having a VOLUNTEER military force. People sign up willingly, without coercion.

When the VOLUNTEER army sees this kind of hate, accusations and name-calling, what's going to happen to their interest? Suddenly, it goes out the window. Who wants to VOLUNTEER for that crap? To get killed, to have your mom treated like a piece of garbage, to have her be forced to live in a drainage ditch for 3 weeks, just so she can get some answers?

I don't think so.

8. Where is Arundhati Roy?
I was thinking about Arundhati Roy this morning and remembering her speech Instant Fix-Imperial Democracy that she gave at the Riverside Church a while back. I went looking for the transcript of this speech, but can't find it on the web anymore. It was powerful and directed toward Bush.

This war is global in it's reach and ultimate outcome.

Where is Arundhati Roy now to speak out about the current events and a democracy that has gone south?

9. If you're not with them, you are against them; therefore
you are fair game. Of course,they have no concept of fairness.
