Media Whore ... Fame Vulture ... ugh. When will these people realize that the Jerry Springer aproach to public relations DOES NOT WORK!
Yes,
I too am EMBARRASSED for my state!
And I know her son died over here, but it was really about HIS beliefs not hers! We make CHOICES! Some moms like the BENEFITS their kids get, but not the sacrifice! WHY IS THIS ALL ABOUT THE MOMS!!! The kids died!!
I'm surprised the media hasn't started doing their entire broadcast from 'Camp Casey.'
So sad, but for all the wrong reasons.
It's looking like this whole thing is about to backfire on her and her backers.

Anyone who hitches their political wagon to her star--like Rowley--may find themselves going down in flames.
I WISH YO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE POSTED, YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE HATRED THAT THE FAR RIGHT CONCERITIVE PARTY IS MADE UP OF.
WHY ARE YOU NOT AT SCHOOLS FINDIG OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN AND TELLING THEM TO ENLIST AND HELP OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR TROOPS. OR IS IT BETTER FOR OTHERS TO PUT THERE LIVES ON THE LINE, WHERE ARE THE BUSH DAUGHTERS AS YOU SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO WAR.
THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO I GAVE MY SERVICE TO MY COUNTRY AND WAS LUCKY TO COME HOME LEAVING (58,000 ) BEHIND.
I HOPED NEVER AGAIN TO SEND MY CHILDREN TO WAR, ITS FUNNY WHILE I WAS FIGHTING IN NAM MR.BUSH WAS AGAIN NO WHERE TO BE FOUND AS HIS DAUGHTERS ARE TODAY.
YOU SAY YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN WELL WE HAVE ALREADY LOST 2,109 YOU SHOULD BE PROUD, OF HOW YOU REATED ONE SOLDIERS MOTHER.
Grandpa pete:
Sure you served. Care to tell us your MOS and the unit and period of service.
Failure to provide these details will be proof of your integrity.
There is nothing worse than some Leftist troll pretending to have served his country than one that slanders the motives of his betters.
Leave Grandpa Troll and never darken these halls again.
WHEW GRANDPA PETE - YOU MUST BE POWERFULLY ANGRY TO HAVE ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME!
BTW - I would like you to show me one place in this posting where I have said a word about Ms. Sheehan which was negative. If you would've read more carefully you would've noticed this was about Colleen Rowley joining Ms. Sheehan. I called Colleen Rowley the 'Media Whore'.
Grandpapete,
Lighten up on the koolaid. That shit'll rot your brain.
Hey,
I don't think the proper way to punish Grandpa Pete is to make fun of his language errors, he is human, and it looks spiteful! What gets me is that he failed to read the 2nd comment I had made FROM IRAQ!
I commend his service back in the day, but he should not use that as a reason WHY he does not believe in THIS cause! They aren't the same!
And YES, those ladies are wasting their time, because what is the endgoal? DO you think Bush is gonna come out and say, "You know, maybe you are right? Let's call the whole thing off!" But it's a free country and it has turned into a circus, and it is being treated as such!
That is what they get! My heart bleeds for her loss of a son, but she is making it about MOM! MOM! MOM! I see more pictures of HER than her son, the REAL hero!
Erik,
Who was making fun of his language errors? My issue was his mindless parrotting of the anti-war "chickenhawk" line. If he's going to criticize people for not serving, he'd damn well better make sure they didn't serve. Otherwise, he runs the risk of being gratuitously dismissed as a crank.
AS ALWAYS YOU MUST SLANDER ANYONE WHO DIFFERS , MY SERVICE TO MY COUNTRY WAS A TIME WHEN OUR COUNTRY JUST SENT YOU NOTICE TO SHOW UP. I SERVED IN NAM (64-66) AND ONE YEAR ON THE LOCKED FLOOR OF THE VA IN BROOKLYN VA.
I EARNED MY RIGHT TO QUESTION BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME ONLY THE FEW ARE IN HARMS WAY, OTHER WISE BUSH WOULD OF SENT THE LETTERS OF GREETING TO MANY MORE.
YOU REACT BACK AS ALWAYS " I MUST BE AGAINST THE WAR" YOUR VERY MUCH WRONG. WHAT GETS ME IS BENLOUDEN PLANED THE THREE TARGETS TO ATTACK,HE WAS FUNDED BY SAUDI MONEY HIS BASE WAS IN AFGHANISTAN .
OUR ARMY DID THERE JOB THEY INVADED AFGHANISTAN DEFEATED HIS RAGTAGED ARMY AND HE WAS ALOWED TO BE LET FREE, WE DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB.
THEN WE ATTACK IRAQ EVERY DAY WE FIND MORE AND MORE INFOMATION THAT IRAQ HAD NOTHING AND ALSO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOWERS.
I KNOW YOUR BOARED WITH THE RESPONCE,BUT 2,107 HAVE DIED, OVER 14,000 ARE WOUNDED. OUR HEADQUARTERS IS IN THE GREEN ZONE NOT A FREE OPEN CITY OF BAGDAD.
AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS WE AS AN ARMY ARE STILL AT SQUAR ONE, EVEN BAGDAD IS NOT SAFE.
A GENERAL SHINSEKI WAS FIRED BECAUSE HE SAID YOU NEEDED 280,000 TROOPS AND MORE TO SECURE IRAQ, BUSH #1 IN HIS PAPERS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THAT INVADING OR WAR WITH IRAQ WOULD GO ON FOREVER WITH NO WIN.
OUR OWN CIA REPORTS THERE WAS NO WMDS, ETC IN IRAQ BEFORE THE WAR. AND RUMSFIELD HIMSLEF WROTE IN HIS PAPERS BACK IN 1991 " A WAR WITH IRAQ WOULD BE A LOSE".
YOU WANT TO GO TO WAR GO AHEAD THERE ARE NATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO WOULD TAKE YOU.
YOU INJOY SEEING YOUR FRIENDS BODY PARTS AS YOU REACH IN THE DARK, FEAR THAT YOU MAY NOT SEE THE NEXT DAY OR ATLEAST DAYLIGHT GO A HEAD.
MR BUSH HAS MADE SPEACH AFTER SPEACH WE WILL STAY THE COURSE, BUT WHY ARE ENLISTMENTS DOWN, WERE IS THE COUREAGE YOU SPEAK OF FROM YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS.
NO BUSH KEEPS AN ARMY AND MARINE UNITS BY STOP-LOSE AND EXSTENDING THERE TOURS. YOU FEEL WAR IS GREAT WHY ARE YOU ON THIS COMPUTER GO ENLIST, GO RE-ENLIST?.
I KNOW I SERVED WHERE ARE ALL THE YOUNG FAR RIGHT CONCERITIVE PARTY MEMBERS HIDING??. I'M 63 YEARS OLD I SERVED MY COUNTRY I DIDN'T RUN TO CANADA OR JOIN THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD AS SOME DID TO STAY OUT.
"YOU FEEL WAR IS GREAT..."
I don't feel war is great, just that it is sometimes necessary.
"WHY ARE YOU ON THIS COMPUTER GO ENLIST,"
I did enlist.
"GO RE-ENLIST..."
I did, three times. And I will at least one more time when my current term is up in 2008.
You seem to be working under the premise that no one who supports the war is willing to make any personal sacrifices. In my opinion and experience, that is a false premise.
THEN I MUST SAY YOU ARE DOING AS YOU BELIVE, IF I WAS TO SAY " YOU ENJOY KILLING" I WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE ONES WHO FIND WAYS AND WORDS TO INSULTS MRS CINDY SHEEHAN. I DO NOT INSULT YOUR SERVICE OR YOU REASONS FOR GOING TO WAR. YOU HAVE SEEN THE HORROR OF WAR AND FEEL IT IS WORTH THE STAND , I RESPECT YOU.
All right Grandpa Pete - go away from my blog now. I've had with your insults and screaming dialogue. You don't seem to be able to carry on a discussion without throwing out insults and inuendos and ficticious statements. Shinseki was never fired. His term was OVER. Done. Finito. You are like so many lefty trolls of the boomer age with the VN mentality. Why don't you go after the Democrat Presidents who got the US into how many wars?? Lets see, WWII, Vietnam, Somalia...that was a really successful effort by WJC. If you can't be more civil don't come back.
I HAVE REREAD MY POST AND I FIND NO INSULTS TO YOU OR ANY ONE , I MAY OF POINTED OUT OTHERS WHO HAVE SOUGHT TO INSULT SOME.
REMEMBER TONI WAR IS WAR IT THE KILLING OF OUR OWN MEN AND WOMAN, IF YOU INVADE / ATTACK ANOTHER NATION YOU MAKE SURE YOU TROOPS ARE FULLY EQUIPED, UP TO DATE ARMOR AND PROTECTIVE GEAR ( NOT HAVE LOVE ONES HAVE TO BUY VESTS ETC. FOR THERE LOVED ONES.
AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TROOPS OR MORE TO WIN THIS WAR, DON'T RUN IT ON THE CHEAP AND SPEND THE REST ON PORK FOR YOUR STATE. YOUR YOUNG WAR IS AGAME UNTILL YOUR DEAD OR OR TILL YOU FACE IT.
O YES PLEASE SEND ME THE PICTURES OF THE (WMDS, CHEMICAL WEIPONS AND NUKES THEY HAVE FOUND IN IRAQ).
I'M SORRY THAT WAS THE REAL REASON WE ATTACKED IRAQ IN THE BEGINING, YOU DON'T CHANGE THE NAME OF THE MISSION WHEN IT DON'T WORK TRUE.
I'M SORRY IF YOU FEEL I INSULTED YOU OR ANY ONE, YOU'LL AGE.
Grandpa Pete - you don't need to lecture me about this war. But I do believe you need to get beyond the leftist talking points you continually belabor. You started out by accusing me of attacking Ms. Sheehan. That was not something I had done. From there you have pretty much regurgitated every leftist talking point from Moveon.org. I think you should go read what NE has to write on his blog about Herb Shugart. Funny thing, there was no fire storm in the MSM about his objection to WJC when Herb's son died.
I addtl thing, I did ban you but upon further thought, I changed it.
Grandpa Pete,
We are here now, so what is your point? I reenlisted in APR for 6 more years. FROM IRAQ, so I don't wanna hear any more of THAT rhetoric! It's moot for me, and I win that argument! As far as everything else you have to say, The IZ(Green zone) is SAFER, not safe, and the public that lived there before STILL lives there, the only ones they got out were the bad ones in raids! Yes it has checkpoints, but it's a war WTF?
I praise your service, but don't compare mine to yours, as they are different times! You were forced, and I volunteered 16 years ago!
You are misinformed as to how Iraq is involved in this! I guess Saddam was this nice man that did not ever have any intention to do anything to anyone! Who has proven he was not invloved in terrorist funding? You can listen to the press if you want, I will just have to call it as I see it! That lady in TX is using her SON as a pawn for her political beliefs, and now political figures are jumping on her sons bandwagon to grandstand! It is pitiful Grandpa Joe! And I am on this computer from outside the IZ in Baghdad to pass my time, and defend my view to people like you that want to say because you were in war once you have the right opinion? No, it's an opinion!
Thanks for serving proudly, but I don't agree with you!
ERIK YOU ARE RIGHT, I AGREE THIS IS YOUR WAR. I WISH YOU LIFE AND TO COME HOME SAFE.
