    she didnt sacrifice, the son did, she just used his memory for her own benefits. Dont get it mixed up and give her credit for what her son did.

    that chick was crazier than a dog in a hubcap factory.

    how has she gained from this, by having wing nuts on the internet who've made no sacrifice call her crazy?

    Yes, I'm sure you would be the model of rationality if you lost a child in an un-necessary war.

    she gained by having all the attention. She doesnt seem to understand how crazy she looks, but she obviously wanted attention and she got what she wanted for a little while

    Good god dude, this sounds like the time Coulter called the 9/11 widows, wenches that just were out for attention.

    You, nor none of us, lost a child in Iraq so we're in no position to speak about it. And its not fair to judge someone based on that.

    Donkeylogic,
    Are you saying that she didn't lose anything by losing her son's life fighting in Iraq?

    yeah, im the bad guy b/c i can spot a radical crazy? it sucks to love a child and my sympathies for the death of a loved one are always with them. Given that, it doesnt mean one turns a blind eye to everything else

    well i dont know what her rational was, but on the surface she wanted to protest and blame someone for her sons death. she did that. to the extent she wanted other things, i dont know, but if she wanted to protest and gain whatever self gratifying goal in doing that, then it appears she did.

    no i didnt say that.

    Her son made his own decision and went. Yes when he died she lost a son, but i wouldnt say she sacrificed. She didnt send her son to the military, he went on his own.

    What the hell did she do? She protested against a conflict she believed wasn't justified and consequently she believed her son's death wasn't necessary because we shouldn't have even been in Iraq.

    You DISAGREE with her, that's fine. But its stupid to somehow say she's an attention w**** for protesting against a war she believed was unnecessary and unjustified. Just because you disagree with her opinion, doesn't make her crazy or selfish. And how in the world is this self-gratifying? As pointed out before, this is just a bad cop-out.

    So let me ask you this, what's your opinion of the 9/11 widows that are campaigning against our presence in Iraq and against Bush Foreign Policy or what's your opinion of Pat Tillman's family?

    How was she radical? How was she crazy? Unless you're talking about ann coulter, then you would be correct.
    I thought you were the one trying to be above the name calling and mudslinging?

    Anyone who sacrifices a parent spouse or son to the country deserves respect - not agreement always, but respect, even the ones you think are nutty. How many people in here know what it feels like to lose a child? A child in war? Anyone?

    Spitting all over someone like Cindy Sheehan is disrespectful to the notion of sacrifice in the families of deployed military personnel. Seriously, who the hell are you to judge? Liberals and or outspoken families do not count amongst the casualties? If you criticize her for bastardizing a loss you can not possibly fathom, what does that make you for further politicizing her?

    I think she's a little looney,m i agree with little of her perspective, but she is defensiblyupset. And you would not catch me dead pissing on a military family member of a casualty - no matter how much i might disagree with them - for speaking their views.

    You mean how Bush and Cheney etc
    talk about the Gains *we* made in iraq
    when they haven't pick up Gun the 1st [except to shoot a friend in the face]

    When Bush sends Jenna and Barbara over there
    I will then start Questioning what this woman Sacrificed
    well . . . maybe not even then

    QUESTION: How many Children of Politicians on Capital Hill are over there in Harms way?

    Any from the Congress? Executive Branch? How about Judicial?

    I would REALLY be interested to know . .
    How many of them have lost Children to this War?

    look, im not disagreeing with someones right to protest. i have no problem with that at all, however there is a point where reasonable protest becomes crazy ramblings. i think she crossed that point.
