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.

Notice how the putz-gazette used a picture of knoll, with an American Flag scarf.

Also, I bet the DUmmies are praising her for her "courage" of crashing funerals.

I think that distinction is part of the left's distrust, misunderstanding, and animosity toward the military. It's like military xenophobia: the concepts of duty and sacrifice are so foreign to them, they just can't understand it and so view it with distaste at best.

Liberals only "support our troops" in the sense that they consider them victims. Note how it's always the libs who pronounce that soldiers only signed up because they couldn't find a job. They lionize any soldier who disobeys orders and refuses to report for duty or do his job (kill the enemy). They "understand" the Muslim soldier who kills his officers.

It took decades for the libs to wake up and recognize the harm they were doing to their cause by their constant denigration of the military (they "loathe" them, in the famous words of Bill Clinton). How to correct that politically damaging perception? In their small little minds, it meant they had to find a way to make soldiers appealing...Voila! They're victims!

She's still prettier than that obese sow from New York, Hillary Kankles Clinton.

It's one thing to be opposed to the war, but as a public official, at the funeral of a soldier who died for his country, her remarks are so over the top that I'm just stunned.

"..give her a good solid backhand.."

The Christian teaching of forgive and forget is being stretched to the limit here. Somehow, this great wrong should be righted.

I would have thrown her ass outta there in a heartbeat but I'm a no class guy. The family did a heck of a lot better with this bitch than I would have.

We should contact the Congress representatives of Pennsylvania and ask them what their response is to this.

I would have whipped out my "unit" and pissed on her, no sh*t I swear I would have. I would have pled temporary insanity with rage.

What a f*cking b*tch. What a bunch of whores.

"at the funeral of a soldier who died for his country, her remarks are so over the top that I'm just stunned."

That inhumane beast posing as a Lt. Gov. deserves to be stunned, with a tazer!

It will! "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. I will repay."
Maybe this incident costs her her relection.

...and she is the spokesmodel for WHICH government?

She is the spokesmodel for her own little feifdom. Many politicians think of their little clique of office personnel and the plush quarters granted them by the taxpayers constitutes a mini-sovereigny that gives them the freedom to conduct their inanities with impunity.

Given that she has appointed herself as the champion of lilly white conscientiousness, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if the FBI crawls so far up her a$$ that she tastes brill cream, all to make sure that she has not done anything anything untoward or corrupt in her capacity as a government official. I'm sure she's as clean and pure as the driven snow.

Here's what I wrote the evil bitch:

You are disgusting and should be removed from office. I hope
Pennsylvania has a recall provision, because they'll use it on you.
Your political career is finished.

It is all too easy to believe the story printed in the P-G that you
intruded on the funeral of a warrior fallen in battle and passed out both
your business card and your opinion about the war.

Have you no decency? I'm mad as hell at you and your actions. I'm ashamed by the disgrace you've brought on the nation, our armed forces, and the people who mistakenly elected you.

There is a special place in hell for people like you in the deepest sewer of
the lowest level, and when you get there you will find companions you can relate
to: people with nothing but cheap ambition and bad manners. You'll
also find plenty to eat and drink.

You are revolting.

What a pig!Too bad she wasn't spotted before she got in,but then again who'd a thought she'd have the unmittigated gaul to start handing out business cards and state her objection to the war.
