"Parents of those who have died in Iraq have total moral authority."

Dear Maureen,

Some idiot is writing articles and signing your name to them!

The best evidence of Pres Bush's humanness is his decision NOT to meet with Grieving Cindy. Given the expectations of the leftest gathered to attach themselves to her anti American shirttails, a physical meeting with the Pres could easily escalate into a physical catastrophe for both the Pres and the ever resourceful Grieving Cindy. The secret service will protect the Pres but who in that crowd really gives a damn about their current martyr in waiting?

And no, Mo, having your son get killed does NOT give you moral authority where the war is concerned. I guess next you'll be saying that having your kid murdered gives you the right to sit on the killer's jury, or even just go out and shoot the bastard, because hey, you have total moral authority in such a situation, right? There's a reason we don't have family members sit on juries, and why we don't have soldiers' parents plan wars. That such a basic idea is beyond you says a lot about your intellectual capacity.

Not only does this bear repeating, it should be shouted from the rooftops! In fact, it should be a required posting on every single thread concerning this loony woman.

WE have all seen this tactic by the left so many times we can almost predict when this will takw place. Who do they think there kidding, their still smoking the "Hippy Hay of Yesterday" while we are all choking on their smoke screen of lies and false hoods.

Make note of who is there around her. The FAT KATS of the left, the sneaking Gorelicks of the Clinton's making sure anything that may arise that would or could point to them is deflected away and back at Bush.

This article is a pathetic attempt by a Moonbat to rationalize why their greatest enemy is still in power and calling the shots.

"Actually, he's hiding from me and I can prove that!
We were in a poker game back in 1979 and he still owes me 12 bucks!"

Great line Publius. Thanks for the laugh.

I'm sure the Prez would get a kick out of that.

I'm not sure if you'd get the 12 bucks though.;>)

You're just trying to make up over the Porky Pig comment. ;)

Hey Mo, Michael was tired of your saggies, and your whining, and your flabbiness. He traded in your spent carcass for a real woman.

Quit the whining, grow up just a little and stop wallowing in grief by gorging on Snickers bars. You really are bitter, aren't you?

That image seems to be rarer than hen's teeth.

Does anyone else besides me save articles to their local drive?

I bet at least one Freeper has a decent sized copy of that image on their local drive. Does anyone remember the name of the thread?

"Parents of those who have died in Iraq have total moral authority. "

Both the opening and closing sentences are absolutely ludicrous.

So I skipped the crap in the middle.

"Can somebody point me to this STATEMENT I keep hearing about?"

Article by Dowd entitled: Why No Tea and Sympathy.

"Parents of those who have died in Iraq have total moral authority."


That includes those who believes their child's death was an honorable service to their country, right?

This buffoon has sawdust where her brains should be.

the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute.

Sorry Mo, it's not. The moral charactor of their dead and wounded children is absolute because of their commitment
to something greater than themselves, but the ravings of
the leftist/agitators who would use the death of their own
children in furtherence of their political agenda is beyond
the pale.

I will say that I think she is also lonely and it has alot to do with the separation from her husband. Look at the stress scale (out of 100-where 100 is the death of a spouse), SEPARATION FROM LIVING PARTNER - 60, DEATH OF CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER OTHER THAN SPOUSE - 60, CHANGE IN LIVING CONDITIONS (visitors in the home, change in roommates, remodeling house) - 20
CHANGE IN PERSONAL HABITS (diet, exercise, smoking, etc.) - 20, MOVING TO NEW RESIDENCE - 15 That said she maybe leaning toward the looney and needs help dealing with all her losses and I think the left is using her as a pawn knowing she is not lucid.

I would go one step further and use the plural- "buffoons"- for Dowd and Sheehan.
