The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war.

"...The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war..."


Pennsylvania FReepers might want to take this opportunity to show up at the Lt. Gov.'s office UNINVITED this week and hand out business cards saying "our gathering of voters" is against treasonous, piece of sh*t, scumbag, lower than whale feces, occupiers of our oxygen... Any chance you'll "pull out" of it??

The Governor is a Democrat and the Legislature is Republican. The whole gang is corrupt. The is a ground swell beging to oust the whole bunch. I hope it comes to pass.

Bump for the evening crowd

I'd love to see it lkhappen.

Good idea to keep this bumped. I believe her Chief of Staff is a former Fox News Political Analyst named Cogel or Cogle, I forget her first name.

Really? It does need to be bumped for attention. This is so over the top and in such poor taste that it boggles he mind. This idiot lady needs to have it drummed into her head that she isn't quite human.

This kind of news crops up on the weekend when hardly anyone is around reading an actual newspaper.

They underestimate the power of the FReepers...

BUMP!

They underestimate the power of the FReepers...

I agree. The old media still hasn't figured out that there is a new media in town.

These Democrats just keep getting crazier and crazier. Living here in Central Pennsylvania, the targets to protest are just too easy. I just don't know which one to take on. They are all just so crazy I don't want to spend my breath or time on any of them.

The heck with it, I'm going to Hershey Park.

Okay, have fun, but when you get back, think about running for the state legislature.

[RandallFlagg]

BUMP!

Not the newspapers in Philly. They won't touch Rendell. My local paper, The Inquirer, ran 21 days of editorials why to vote for Kerry.

it took place in a church not 3 miles from my home.

Coincidentally alnost exactly 3 miles from my hone as well. I'm in Crafton with my backyard bordering on the busway.

Even though I work in news (WSHH, WJAS, AM Newstalk 1360)I somehow missed the notice of this funeral. As a result my son Andy and I picked that day to do a little geocaching at Carnegie park. We finished up around 1:30 in the afternoon and were headed down Forsythe to Main Street and then home.

The town was GRIDLOCKED! Police and military everywhere. I dodn't have a clue as to what was going on so as soon as we got home I called Wife who delivers flowers.

She had made several deliveries to the funeral and so she filled me in on what was going on. I understand there were so many cars in the funeral they streatched all along Washington road back past the Carlynton Field!

I'm also outraged - but not surprised - at Lt Gov Baker Knoll. Gonna give her folks an earful!

With your media connections maybe you can give this story some legs. It deserves it, and this Knoll trash deserves whatever might come her way...
