today, everyone NOT trashing a peace activist is my DU friend.

[Lerkfish]

big hugs to people who still remember peace.

:hug:

anyone undersigned who supports peace is officially a friend of Lerkfish.

[midnight]

1. Very good Lerkfish, you and I can be friends.....

Bring them home.

[madokie]

2. ..

:hi:

[helderheid]

3. Rec 3

:hug:

[ClassWarrior]

4. I had a wise boss who once said...

...if everybody's bickering with one another, that means we all care. So that's a good thing.

Peace, Lerkfish.

NGU.

[lonestarnot]

5. Lerkfish

:toast:

[babylonsister]

6. Hopefully this will be a long-g-g-g thread! Hugs to you, too!

:hug:

[Union Thug]

7. How could anyone trash Cindy? She's spot on. n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. Can I come in... ?

Peace to all souls striving for the good of humanity. :hug:

[coffeenap]

9. Thanks, Lerkfish, please add me to your list. Peace. nt

[helderheid]

16. I miss Andy

Your avatar made me think of him (and in that thought he lives).

[coffeenap]

29. Me too-the last time I talked to him he told me two things:

he didn't want to die, and he wanted to be remembered. I promised I would help him be remembered, thus, the avatar.
:hug:

[helderheid]

31. Andy will always be in our hearts. Bless you Andy. I know you are seeing this. WE LOVE YOU.

[jasmeel]

10. Includes me! Hi!!

[blondeatlast]

11. Backatcha.

:hug:

[FloridaJudy]

12. We all need friends.

Have a hug and a mint at my place.

:hug:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. Me.

[NightWatcher]

14. peace, how original an idea.

:)

[silverlib]

15. Me, too.

Out of the fray and trying desperately to "feed the right wolf."

[Elwood P Dowd]

17. I support peace

As a dumb old Army vet who lost friends in Vietnam, hell yea I support peace.

[mod mom]

18. Count me a friend, Lerkfish.

Man, I took a few days off and must of missed some ugliness. I'm glad I missed it. Cindy deserves way better.

[cgrindley]

19. Count me in

Cindy's right. The majority of elected democrats actively support the war. I just wish that Obama and Clinton would take an even more hard core stance than they are currently taking.

[Forkboy]

23. Thank you Cg.

I'm VERY glad to see you here in this thread.

Peace.

[Zodiak]

20. me too!!

trashing Cindy at this point is worse than bad form!

[Forkboy]

21. You're a good man Lerkfish.

Peace to you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Friend...

:hug:

[WhoDoYouTrust]

24. Hey Friend!

:pals:

I am just sick about what has gone on here the past two days.

[dweller]

25. Love you more than anyone ... !

Got no time
Got no mind
For the line
In my life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear

Got no time
Got no mind
For the line
In this life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear

So watch your time
Time descends
Let it spill quietly
From your hands
Oh, and the time is at hand
When all things under the sky
Go free of time
Time is passing you by
Got no time
And I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting

Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child and you
Start to see with your blue mind
Start to see with your blue mind
Don't be afraid of what you find
No, don't be afraid of what you find
Cause I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Yes, slowly, slowly I am drifting


peace

[tnlefty]

26. Cindy has my admiration and respect!

:hi: Peace and respect for others IS a noble cause!

[Cha]

27. Here's to Peace!~ Lerkfish~

:hippie: :toast: :party: :pals:

[redwitch]

28. Peace.

What a fine idea! :hug:

[mmonk]

30. Ha! This is getting funny.

Guess I belong in this group. She's not just a peace activist, she lost her son.

[sam kane]

32. Peace.

[Canuckistanian]

33. I'm here

I didn't join in any of the numerous threads putting her down.

Not that I don't have reservations about her methods sometimes.

But in balance, I have to agree with Dave Letterman.

How, in God's name, can you disagree with someone who's suffered so much?

[Cha]

36. Letterman's too

Cool!~

[Yuugal]

34. k&r

sigh

[IChing]

35. Peace warrior here

Own a part of the revolution
and support your local dissident

[Cha]

37. Made me think of the Molly Ivins' quote..

"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day and every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell."
Molly Ivins! 1944~2007

[SaveOurDemocracy]

38. Thanks Lerkfish ...

we all need more friends, more hugs :hug: and more PEACE.

[EFerrari]

39. Peace, Lerkfish.

:hug:

[marmar]

40. Lerkfish, mi amigo!

What that woman has been put through ought to be criminalized! :grr:

[nam78_two]

41. Awww-we be friends then :-).nt

[countingbluecars]

42. Peace. eom

[Lone_Star_Dem]

43. Hi, friend.

There as so many better alternatives to war I don't understand how anyone living in a civilized country could still support war.

Peace.

[Bluebear]

44. Amigo. nt

[magellan]

45. Likewise, Lerkfish

I don't know if I could do what Cindy has done, but she's pure inspiration. And so are friends in peace.

:)

edited to add Medea to the list of inspirational women!

[Reterr]

46. Hi friend

:hi:

[Maru Kitteh]

47. Am I your friend if I never felt strongly one way or another?

I think she is a perfect example of the imperfect actors that history often chooses and it's probably best that way. I do not iconize, idolize or blame her for anything at all.

[AspenRose]

48. Cultivate peace, and you'll attract peace

I'm glad I've stayed out of the mess that's been around here the past few days.

[Usrename]

49. Thank God/Goddess, it took years to develop this callousness.

I mean the callousness to unashamedly trash a Gold Star mom.

If we were like this a few years ago she would have had no effect on the national discussion.

[hfojvt]

50. define 'trashing'

Because I am deliberately harsh about 3rd party Ralph Naderism. If Cindy does that, which she threatened to, then she is just as much an enemy to me as Ralph Nader.

[Vidar]

51. I agree.

[Nikki Stone1]

52. Peace, Lerkfish. And a big kick of support.

:kick:

[uberllama42]

53. Hi friend! n/t

[Lerkfish]

54. wow! I posted right before going to bed...I had no idea I'd get this level of response!

all you guys (guys meant in a genderless way) are my new friends.

:grouphug:

[lukasahero]

55. No surprise to me whose thread I'm posting in

:hug:s to Lerkfish and all those peace-loving folks who understand that disagreeing with the Dem party's action does not = trashing.

[lfairban]

56. Peace,

friend.

[deutsey]

57. Shalom, my friend, shalom, my friend. Sha-lom! Sha-lom!

:hi:

[shenmue]

60. Peace.

This thread actually made me feel good again. :D

[deutsey]

62. Oh yeah! So THAT'S why I like peace so much...I almost forgot

:hug:

[bigwillq]

58. YAY! I have another friend.

:hi: :hug:

[shenmue]

59. Thanks, Lerk.

I happily sign up too.

:D

People must be civilized. Online or anywhere else.

[bullwinkle428]

61. I've always placed my desire for peace and understanding

ahead of party loyalty - thanks for posting this...

[Midlodemocrat]

63. Nice post, Lerkfish.

I remember peace. :hug:

[blondie58]

64. I am your friend, Lerkfish!

I chose to ignore most of the Cindy threads and I am glad that I did.

I don't understand how anyone- especially a liberal- could trash this brave woman who sacrificed so much. I like to avoid negativity and fighting.

Peace. Dawn

[tjwash]

65. I remember peace.

I remember 8 years of it the last time a Dem was in the White House, and how no soldiers came home in body bags the whole time.

[PurgedVoter]

66. Howdy friend!

[wicket]

67. Count me in

We've clashed in the past, but you are definitely a kindred spirit :hug:

[ComerPerro]

68. right, because anyone who doesn't fall in line behind Sheehan is, lets see...

a warmonger, a goose-stepping brownshit, a koolaid-drinking party whore, a follower, what else?

EDIT: Damn! I Forgot misogynist!

[Lerkfish]

69. I'm offering friendship to those who support peace

:shrug:

everything else you just said sprung up from your own heart, not mine.

[ComerPerro]

70. don't trust your motives, sorry

[Lerkfish]

71. no problem. Think what you want.

peace

:hug:

[IronLionZion]

72. Thank you! I'm with you my friend!

:grouphug:

[Marnieworld]

73. right back at you

:hug:

I don't think I've made any Sheehan related comments yet. Let the woman have some peace.

[zippy890]

74. I'm with you, all of you

I will always think of Cindy as an American hero.

[JVS]

75. hey buddy

[pitohui]

76. big hugs back at you

sometimes we forget what is important

[KG]

77. there is no path to peace, peace is path.

unfortunstely, some here operate under the absurd notion that peace should or could only be achieved thru the dem party.

[nashville_brook]

78. proud to be your friend!

[jonnyblitz]

79. I am with YOU. FUCK that other thread.

:thumbsup:
