What do you make of this? "My Son May be Dead"

Just saw this thread on Freerepublic with this message.... Kinda weird and sad no?

"Tomorrow I and my wife will vote for George W. Bush. Tonight, I heard on the radio that an Army soldier was killed in an ambush in southeast Afghanistan. My son is stationed in southeast Afghanistan. I checked Fox news and they have an article about a US soldier killed and two wounded in a patrol near Orgun. My son is on a patrol near Orgun. I do not care if it is him, tomorrow we will still vote for Bush. God bless America and God bless President Bush.

I have not told my wife. She is worried enough that Kerry might win. She does not need this additional worry."

It's all about priorities.

different reasons....

I certainly hope that he is wrong about is son.... Because nobody deserves that...

He doesn't seem to care about that, or about all the other sons that will die/have died in AWOL's excellent little adventure.

Good old fashioned Republican family values.

Or in a petrie dish . As soon as a baby is born , all pretence at actually caring is forgotten . So what if the mother is too poor and malnourished to produce milk , and too poor to buy formula to feed her baby . And so what if she can't afford proper health care to protect her child's health . And so what , if that child lives in a poor neighbourhood with underfunded schools . And so what , if that young man/woman lives in an area where there are few jobs and so has to join the army , to earn a living . And so what if that man/woman dies in a pointless war , they have no right to complain , they chose to go .

Yeah right . And they call themselves pro-life . :mad:

EOM

'I do not care if it is him, tomorrow we will still vote for Bush. I have not told my wife. She is worried enough that Kerry might win. She does not need this additional worry.'

Well, what can you say about this.

Too much? :shrug:

:for eternity along with the entire bush administration.

Hope the son doesn't read this crap from his "father".

Then he can tell his father where he can go and what he can do when he gets there.

Is that all the insane fact-challenged right wing does these days is watch Fox News and listen to Limbaugh when he's on? I'm not wishing death on anybody, but that statement is just so mind-boggling.

A-fucking-mazing.

So much for family values

I'm not sure that we have a president as much as we have some weird cult leader that can convince his minions that "its okay to let your kids die for the cause I manufacture."

puts a president above their own flesh and blood.

And I can't imagine what they must be going through. But to vote for the man who sent him there ... well, that's beyond my comprehension.

:scared:

...for * regardless. Still, it's distressing that he won't vote against the man who started the bloodbath.

What can you say about that? I can only hope it's some sick fabrication, but then again, which is worse: some freeper joking about the deaths in Iraq, or this being for real? Hung jury!

Would be realy sick....

hangin out over there awhile? Know this guy personally?

You seem to have a good knowledge of the poster, you know something we don't?

Of coarse I would'nt know that, since I do not go there myself.

Its a war, people die, thats why I am opposed to a war for profits!

I do have some knowledge of death in battle..........

read ALL their post since they have been a member... so this guy is not bogus.... been there a while...

Rather vote for Bush than have a living son?

I hope this man gets stabbed quickly and dies in an alley surrounded by no one who loves him.

It'll be better than the death my friend went through fighting his goddamned war.

but that is all it is PROPAGANDA MESSAGE to the mindless sheeple

Just because it's posted on the internets doesn't mean it's true.

to show what loyal Repug he is -- "I do not care if it is him, tomorrow we will still vote for Bush."

If this is true, this is very sad in many ways.

"and as I was running from the WTC as they came crashing down..i grabbed the arm of our police chief and said THANK GOD George Bush is our president"

Sure ya did Rudy...sure ya did....

doesn't seem too worried about it!!!! I'm sure the mother of that boy has a different view!

If I was thinking about my son possibly killed in a far away land.

Not poorly crafted, but utterly unconvincing....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

and unable to be in our wedding because he was in boot camp or some other training. A few months after we were married, we went to see him off on his flight to Viet Nam. His father and stepmother were there, too. After David got on the plane, his father said to us "Better him than me." He laughed and slapped my husband on the back when he said it.

WTF? :wtf:

I'll never forget it as long as I live.

fear their son may be involved in the attack, they would be calling all sources they could to find out if he is okay.

This is bogus, an attempt to get the passions flowing. imho

Spare me from parents like that, please.

I'm not in a forgiving mood for someone who places loyalty to * over love for his son. I hope someday, though, the scales fall off his eyes and he sees the truth.

He didn't mean to say he doesn't care if his son is dead. I could feel his torment as he wrote.

What he meant by "I don't care" is simply that his vote for Bush hasn't been changed by the fear for his son. His son is in immense danger and possibly dead. Even in the face of that, he is standing by what he believes.

The pain and the loss resulting from this war is personal to him. He votes from conviction. I'll defend to the death his right to vote wrongly. I expect he would do the same for me. Because that is what this country is all about.

And THAT is fucked up.

These people are SICK !!!

Idiots!

He should be ashamed of himself. Does his son's life matter so little?It matters to me, and I don't even know this soldier.

Jenna and Babs are enjoying a safe and well-educated present and future. This young boy probably joined the military because he couldn't find a job or to get money for college.

How can people be so blind?!?!

sad for the son :(

got killed 4 years ago in a wreck.

Believe me, that if you even had an idea that your son or daughter might be dead, you wouldn't even give a rats ass about Bush, Kerry or Mickey Mouse.

It's either a big pack of lies or this guy is a major asshole.

Thank you for posting.

have lost a parent...I can imagine how much worse it was for you.
:hug:

I am so sorry for your loss....:(

God bless.
Aloha~

...its just horrible to think there are people like that.I hope the son is alive,gets sent home and the father has to go to Iraq!

What an idiot.

man is souless, godless, and a complete blot on the human race.

the real anger and pain comes when we do withdraw. The longer we wait and the more who die, the greater this pain becomes. We will withdraw from Iraq regardless of who is elected, but how many more families must be torn apart before action is taken?

Losing someone in war is tragic, but losing this person for a war which cannot be won only makes it worse. Impossibilium nulla obligatio est

What kind of father would include the words "I don't care if it is him" in a testimonial like this?

I'm a father, and that broke the needle on my bullshit meter.

The person who wrote this is either lying or an absolute asshole.

sick,crazy mofo!!

will go to the polls despite his heartbreak.

No father who was sitting at home wondering if his son were dead would utter the words "I don't care if it is him".

Another Freeper lie.

Makes you wonder what the son would think about this remark.

:wtf: Won't tell his wife that her baby might have been killed because she is worried that Kerry might be elected and she has enough to worry about? She doesn't need the additional worry? How sick is this? OMG! Who needs parents like this, if this is true, I hope it isn't!

would be for his son to be fine, to come home to find how his father had voted, and say something like "You voted for WHO? Are you crazy?" . . .

I'm for letting them all move to one or two states and let them secede.

I think he was just trying to express the fact that he would vote for Bush even if his son was killed. He didn't mean he didn't care about his son's death. The man's a fool for voting for Bush...but he does care about his son. Some people don't express themselves very well. It upsets me to see people ridiculing him! Lighten up!

Questionable, and sad. How shocking that he would support the man who may have sent his son to his death FOR A LIE!!!!!!!!! |We must care more for each other, our country before party ideology.

His son is in hell. His sweet little boy has learned to kill people, has been in situations where others try to kill him, and will have to deal with this all his life. If he is killed, or even just psychologically f***ed up the rest of his life, dad cannot bring himself to believe that this is ok unless the reason he is this way (*'s war) is the right thing to do. poor guy. How to stop this circular thinking is difficult. (My son was sacrificed so I have to believe it was worthwhile, otherwise it's too hard for me to deal with) Whereby I would instead get royally and totally pissed at the commander-in-thief.

This guy is either lying about having a son over there (in order to prove to his fellow Bushbots that he's the most "loyal"), or he's one sick brainwashed bastard-actually, he's sick either way! I've heard of cults where people would gladly sacrifice their children to the cult leader. I guess Freeptards share a lot in common with the followers of Manson and Jim Jones. :puke:

such details as to exactly where his son is in Afghanistan. Southest ok, but on a patrol near Orgun? He probably wouldn't know that.

I hope it's not his son, either, but this smells fishy.

WHAT A SICK CROCK OF SHIT ON ANY LEVEL-

So that makes two of them. And the prophet's (Bush) own mother certainly isn't going to "waste her beautiful mind thinking about body bags." I never cease to be amazed at such calousness, er, compassion, from the right.

If it's true, it's some sick, sad shit.

Can these people get more heartless?

This is bogus, just like all the "letters home" that were circulating from supposed soldiers, later exposed as coming from the propagandists.

BS detector went off the charts when he said he cared more about voting for * and didn't care if his SON was dead. Shameless. Do they think people on FR are stupid?
Oh ya, sorry....

Perhaps both.

Went to see this morning if there were any news about his son. There wasn'ty but I started reading old posts from that guy and here is what I found under the thread titled "Rumsfeld bans camera phones":

"My son is in Afghanistan. If he is not allowed to take any pictures, I will vote for Kerry. If Rumsfeld does push this thru, I will also donate money to Kerry. I still suspect a cover up. I am a former US Army officer and I want to know why no officers or NCOs have been charged. Where the hell were they when all of this shit was going on?"


Talk about fucked up priorities...
