When I found out that the Washington Post and U.S. Today both came out with similar photo spreads at the same time Koppel is running this, it's clear to me this is a DNC fax machine coordinated stunt. It's really no different than the "pro-choice" march or the Million Mom march. It's the "dead soldier march" and the media is ramped up to cover it and mine it for political points.

the democrats polls show that they win on "Pink Slips and Coffins." so from now on just watch for the stories about the "Pink Slip" to be joining the coffin photos... I now officially declare a jihad against liberals... hee hee hee. They suck, their offspring suck, their families suck.... and if they don't suck.... then they blow.

I'm glad I got that off my chest. Now back to the grind.

Em,

Despite the DNC talking-point fax's claims, the words "Mission Accomplished" never were uttered by President Bush. That this lie is persistently repeated just reveals the futile desparation of the "Hate America First" Lobby.

You can see the text of his May 2, 2003 speech at this link.

A salient excerpt follows:

We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We are bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous. We are pursuing and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes. We have begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons, and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated. We are helping to rebuild Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done. And then we will leave — and we will leave behind a free Iraq.

Read this carefully, and consider what it means. Don't base your point of view on the twisted vision of the truth purveyed by the Bush-haters.

I made a post with my opinion, just as all of you do. Sorry I didn't tow the party line, but some Americans DO think, rather than be part of a pack mentality. So much for freedom of thought.......
Oh, please. Freedom of thought and name-calling are unrelated. That's a cheap, weak way to make yourself appear superior. Besides, just as many of your brother Democrats call names. [As proof, I reference Democrat Underground, where I'm sure you've been previously.] Being called names is part of life. I'm sure you're not maimed for life by it. (Are you?)

And as for your silly, twitish remark "Some Americans DO think..." You're right "some Americans" DO think and don't agree with you. That's the beauty of living in the good old USA-- there are a range of opinions. [BTW, I pray your cousin returns home from duty safe and whole.]

I'm sure it won't be long until Koppel reads a list of Americans killed, raped or assaulted by illegal immigrants.

How 'bout a list of all the people, the tens of millions, killed by muslims in the name of a "peace loving Islam" instead.

ABC can just shut down for a few years and scroll the names, faces, and other pics of innocent men, women, and children simply trying to mind their own business, work, school, and daily life who were butchered, burned to death, beheaded violently, and a whole host of other nice things that Islam brings about.

Where's THAT broadcast Ted!!! Huh??!!

and now, ...brought to you by Islam and the Quran:

[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah

[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

[4.95] The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal

[4.144] O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith

So much for religious freedom, eh!!

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

[9.33] He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.

[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).

Interesting how if allowed to permeate our nation these very own tenets from the Quran would destroy this country and turn it into a hell hole! Literally, a "hell hole!"

Every single one of those is straight from the first ten chapters of the Quran!

HELLO AMERICA!!!

"Peace Loving"....I don't think so!!

Another DNC Buttboy signs on to FR today..! Where was Ted Koppel's reading of the names of the dead and their pictures from Somalia? The USS Cole? The WTC-1 ? The Arkancides? The Khobal Towers? The Branch Dividians at WACO? The dead at the OKC Murrah building?

How about just reading from the Quran. I still can't believe that there isn't massive and widespread outrage over Islamic expansion right here in our own backyard.

There's nothing, absolutely nothing couched or otherwise hidden in the Quran/Koran, it's all plain and clear, these people plan on taking over the world and either subjecting anyone not muslim to their whims and rule, or killing them altogether. I suppose the latter if it dampens their plans in any way shape or form.

Meanwhile we have politicians in some Detroit city allowing for the playing of calls to prayer, WORDS, not bells or instrumentals, on loudspeakers loud enough for God knows who to hear!!

Meanwhile, where's the ACLU??? If all of a sudden churches decided to play "calls to prayer" in words over loudspeakers to the entire community, I'm sure they'd be all over it!

I'm starting to see the problem a little more clearly however. I think to suit the ACLU's needs, Christianity needs to start making some statements about wiping anyone not christian off of the face of the earth and then perhaps embarking on a campaign of worldwide terrorism. Maybe that'll clinch it for the them, the libs, and others with their heads in the sand.

Once again, what the Quran/Koran says: (read if for yourselves and pass it along)

[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah

[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

[4.95] The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal

[4.144] O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Yes, but a higher volume isn't to the point as much as trying to out-do the coffin thing. Showing a coffin collection and claiming the administration was hiding bad news just wasn't gaining the traction they wanted, so they ratched up the shrillery (?) by pulling a thirty-five-year-old Vietnam era trick out of their posteriors, IMHO.

Served my time in the Viet Nam era, and as far as namecalling, just because an ADJECTIVE that accurately describes a KLINTOONESQUE-bent of the person so described is ALWAYS offensive to a dupe who thinks Democrats actually STAND for ANYTHING is offended, so be it.

As far as name-calling, Democrats have cornered the market via political correctness, branding common sense simple descriptions as "racist, homophobic, extremeist, etc., while trying to promote their socialist agenda.

Get over it. You lost in 2000, 2002, and will again LOSE in 2004 because COMMON SENSE has made a comeback, and Democrats don't fit into the common sense group.
