Slain G.I.'s ma spurs anti-war T-shirt ban

OKLAHOMA CITY - A woman whose Marine son died while serving in Iraq is fighting to keep his name off anti-war T-shirts.

Judy Vincent learned last year that Cpl. Scott Vincent's name is among about 1,700 included on a T-shirt being sold by an Arizona man over the Internet. The front of the shirt reads "Bush Lied" and the back reads "They Died."

The woman, whose son was killed in April 2004, pushed for Oklahoma legislators to pass a law that makes it a misdemeanor to use a soldier's name or likeness for advertising purposes without consent. The law goes into effect this November.

The shirt vendor, Dan Frazier of Flagstaff, Ariz., issued an open letter to family members praising the soldiers' bravery and sacrifice, but said he would not stop selling the merchandise.

In other words, "I am sorry for you loss, but my hatred of President Bush far surpasses my sympathies."

The U.S. Congress needs to pass legislation banning the sale of these offensive Anti War tee-shirts.

The best response would perhaps to promote a t-shirt that uses the man's name next to a the slogan, "I SUPPORT TERRORISTS".

Tit for tat.

"In other words, "I am sorry for you loss, but my hatred of President Bush far surpasses my sympathies."

In other words, "All leftists are to some degree lacking in basic human decency, and I'm an advanced case."

[MikefromOhio]

We don't need another law.

[dsc]

"The U.S. Congress needs to pass legislation banning the sale of these offensive Anti War tee-shirts."

The decent people among his neighbors should take care of it.

In other words, "I am sorry for your loss, but my hatred of President Bush far surpasses my sympathies."

This petty vendor is a cold blooded sociopath.

[trumandogz]

The dignity of the troops and their families must be protected by our government. We have already banned protests at troop funerals and there is not reason why these exploitative tee-shirts can not also be banned.

"The decent people among his neighbors should take care of it."

Back in the days when it was a man's world, we would.
Now, of course, it's a woman's world and men have been  physiologically castrated so they can't.

Here's an idea!

[mrsmith]

A soldier is not a public figure. She should sue for the pain and suffering he's callously causing her.

But she needs a public interest law firm with deep pockets- this scum won't have any assets to pay a settlement.

Translation: Sorry, lady, but there's good money to be had here.

[Dilbert56]

If she won a judgement against him then all the money from shirt sales would go to her. Poetic justice.

Brilliant.

[vaudine]

He just MAY have assets. If so, they need to go to the soldiers' families. When he is penniless, we can all write him sympathy notes--NOT!

Even better send him a sympathy note saying that you're sorry for his loss but your hatred for liberalism is far greater.
