Default The "Other" March in Washington

Another Gold Star Mom who feels exactly the opposite of Cindy Sheehan:


"Ibbotson, from Albion, Ill., said war protesters dishonor the service of her son and others who have died.

"There are families who lose children in accidents, in tragic illnesses. Young people die and it seems without a purpose," said Ibbotson, whose son was 21. "My son gave his life for a cause that he believed in. He fought and died for God and country."

Ibbotson is part of the Iowa-based group Families United for Our Troops. She's one of 25 "Gold Star" families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan or Iraq who will speak at a news conference this morning and then attend a rally for military families on the Mall on Sunday."

Default Too bad

these voices are rarely heard.

At the anti war rally today, all that seemed to matter were the number of bodies, not a unified anti war message. In fact, I didn't hear much anti war message at all. Most of it were groups promoting their own agenda which many times bordered on racism. I did hear the slogan "No justice, no peace" Wasn't this supposed to be about promoting peace?

Default Well

Maybe you didn't hear about it because there were not 100,000 people there!

I am 100% certain that JP5 can find some way to discount any critism of all the bloodshed in Iraq. Not unified in there message, yada yada.. Whatever. This is from a person who doesn't seem to care about the underlying reasons for anything, only staying on message with the President 100% of the time. So it must really bother you some people think for themselves and not all of them come up with the exact same ideas. IF they could only turn off their brains and do what they are told, then whatever that is would be much stonger, right.

if largest since invasion, there had to be over a million people there, because there were over a million in DC already, but the 3 photos they show only shows about 5 people. and i wonder why they don't write about how many, i think they do have helicopters and could get an areal pic? why use the one behind the fence

That is the reason why I have defined a group of people as being RNC or DNC Parrots. It is not meant to be name calling I am defining thier occupation.
