From that link

In fact, I would be willing to furnish you a picture of my son in his casket if you would like to run it in your paper. Sort of a follow-up story that would just take it one step further than the picture shown inside the airplane with a bunch of anonymous flag-draped coffins. I don't think I can be fired, as I do not have a job!!!

I'm sorry .. but that is just plain SICK!

Ah, the good old days when a liberal newspaper elite could cause America to lose a war. It's so much harder today; you have to make a hero out of someone so pathetically mixed up that every internetter can trace her confusion, flip-flops and utter vulnerablity to manipulation by all who hate America and want us to lose.

Yea, her association with michael.whatever really makes her seem like a grieving mom, and certainly reflects the sentiments of her patriotic son /NOT.

Ahhhhhh, but will Cindy say her usual speech to Oprah, or will Oprah do most of the talking and make old Cindy out to be some sort of "victim" and "heroine" and will they both hug and kiss each other and cry ?

This woman is SHAMELESSLY EXPLOITING HER OWN SONS selfless sacrifice to promote her own personal agenda.

She is a useful idiot and a selfish POS, and the MSM is only more than willing to eat this up.

One of the things I prepped my wife for in the event of my death overseas was that she might be confronted by media ghouls or people trying to make political points with her grief. She understood that any statement she cared to make would be voluntary, and should be limited to a bland but sincere "he died doing his chosen duty", etc.

I'm grateful that she wasn't put through that wringer, but I'm even more grateful she is no self centered, lying Moonbat like Cindy Sheehan, and would not have disgraced herself in this shameful way.

Perhaps her sorrow has broken her link with decency and she should be pitied, but the jackals promoting her and the press that has given her an unquestioning national megaphone in view of her obvious and documented problems with honesty have no such excuse.

They are beneath contempt.

From the looks of it her handlers are.

The showing of the caskets is an effort to recreate the effects that such photos had on the American public during the Viet Nam War. The left is obsessed with the notion that they can return to the protest days of the 60s and 70s by recreating the same tactics at play during the Viet Nam War. Most of these tactics were developed by the brightest of Soviet Communist operatives at work in our universities. The residue of this influence is now trying its best to rear its ugly drug infested head in the world. The tools of the left are fools who would dismantle the moral framework of the Western Capitalistic system and slide down the primal ooze into a primitive tribal reto-Woodstock world.

Our casualties should be a secret. Do Al Qaeda issue press releases when will kill or capture one of theirs?

The MSM seem to have forgotten that we won the Iraq war and achieved our objectives TWO YEARS AGO and are only still there on a humanitarian mission to aid the new government. Instead of reporting on all the good we have done and our doing they focus obsessively on the less than 1% of soldiers who have died in service over there. Less that 1%! Has there ever been a war with so few casualties on the winning side?

I respect Cindy Sheehan's loss and understand that any parent is such a situation would not be in their right mind. What I cannot accept is that the MSM and the Left won't let her grieve in peace and are instead enabling her hysterics in an effor which is 100% aimed at weakening our President and our country.

What a bunch of manipulative drivel. Talk about a maggot who feeds on the dead.

Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel.

I saw this little gem in another article. It's all about the JOOOOOOSSSSSS. Ugh!!

I truly feel sorry for her loss. I pray to the Lord for her comfort.

The Military fight wars, that is the reason for the Military. When you join any branch of the Military it is because you want to be part of the Military and the main objective of the Military is to fight wars.

Obviously her son joined the Military and knew he would have to fight in wars. What she is doing will not bring him back and is actually making her appear to be a person obcessed with being on TV and in Newspaper and Magazine articles.
