At the pro-war "Gathering Of Eagles" rally today...

Debbie Lee, mother of the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq, Mark A. Lee, speaks. Describing her son’s heroism. “You can’t ‘take’ someone’s life who gives it…and Mark willingly gave his life….God redeployed Mark to heaven.”

1. Oh, my.

That's sad.

[rodeodance]

4. yes, but if it gives her comfort in losing a child, so be it.

[Patsy Stone]

6. That's what's sad.

She has to twist it all the way around to that level to find comfort.

[tabasco]

2. Same people who let their kids ride ATVs without helmets

and then say "God took them home" when they crash & die.

[Waya]

3. Yech......

.......sorry, but mindless rhetoric like that just makes me wanna hurl......

[jobycom]

5. I will never criticize a mother dealing with the pain of losing her child.

[treestar]

12. But when she is contributing to causing others similar pain?

None of us gets carte blanche, no matter what we've suffered.

Her prowar position allows others to suffer the same pain.

And I'd love to know her views on Cindy Sheehan.

[jobycom]

13. That's not a strong enough reason for me

I can criticize her war position and any comments she makes against Cindy without attacking her statements about her son's death.

[AntiFascist]

20. Just wait until they start a draft....

then you'll have some angry mothers.

[baldguy]

7. Her god Bush demands human sacrifices?

[malaise]

8. That poor dead kid probably thought Iraq was a better option

than living with his deranged mother.

[NYVet]

10. I heard the same thing about Casey and Cindy Sheehan

from RW'ers.

Allow the woman her beliefs and do not insult her please.

[INDIA]

19. Is that you Rush? n/t

[durrrty libby]

9. It's the poor woman's coping mechanism. I can't fault her for that

[shenmue]

11. That is sad

First for the mother losing her child. Then for this idea that it's good when we lose people. :cry: Almost as if the more people we lose, the more we're 'proving' something, as if without death, it wouldn't be good enough... :grr:

[SoCalDem]

14. Reminds me of the story I heard last week

an arab woman was supposed to have thrown back the head of her decapitated son, when it was returned to her by the killers, as proof of his death.. She is supposed to have thrown it back at them, saying "You cannot give me back, what I have given willingly to Allah"..

not much difference, eh?

[leftchick]

15. the poor guy never had a chance

with a mother like that. RIP Mark.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Ah, geeze.

That is sad. God clearly sucks on so many levels.

[Raine]

17. People will tell themself whatever it

takes to make it thru their grief. :-(

[AlCzervik]

18. i feel sorry for her and her family, i don't know what i'd need to believe to help

me cope if my child was killed.
