Bush Declares Today Is Gold Star Mother's Day |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-25-05 09:29 AM by qanda
This was just on MSNBC. They said that there was an anti-war rally yesterday with 100,000 people and today the Gold Star Mothers (the reporter actually said Families) for Peace, who are for the war, are going to be marching. And that because of this Bush has declared this Gold Star Mother's Day. What in the world is that all about?
See the Video at Post #6, the MSNBC part is after the CNN piece.

You've put your finger on a prime example of Bush / Republican doublespeak.

10. Gold Star Families for Peace |
|
are for peace. That's Cindy's group. And since this is Gold Star Mother's Day, why doesn't the Shrub sit down and talk with Cindy, a Gold Star Mother?

11. Whoop, hold up a second |

My wife informs me that Gold Star Mothers' Day was started in 1994 by none other than the Big Dawg himself. This is an annual event, not a Bush propaganda ploy.

Perhaps you could send this to MSNBC so they can get their facts straight. Thanks for clearing this up here.
