1. Some wise ass freeper guy shows up with a
shitty little freeper kid and somebody takes the sign. Maybe next time he will stay the fuck home.

10. She appears to be old to be a 'shitty' kid
(I assume she has been potty trained). The question is what kind of S*ITTY beliefs will she be indoctrinated into?

In my opinion, and apparently yours as well. And the point is?

22. It looked like possible child abuse
Seriously, if someone knowingly exploits a child, as this jackass did, he can hardly be a fit parent.

The other irony is that * screens rallies so carefully, the shithead with the kid would have been arrested for that sort of stunts at a */Cheney rally.

2. It is time like this that I wonder where people's priorities are
and just exactly how many people do we have here who are either disruptors or cannot understand that freedom of speech applies to all

Oh and to add a more serious tone

Fort Carson troops have been told, you re up or we are tranfering you to units going back to Iraq

But now I return the rest to their previous converstaion about a kid (and how somebody played into Rove's hand, even if Rove was not behind it... he'll use it, nice DISTRACTION)

3. They should be getting their panties in a wad over that soldiers
mom. A lost sign over a lost son? Where's the comparison? Seeing a woman who made the ultimate sacrifice of her son, arrested and carted away for daring to question, why? Unbelievable.

4. Americans don't give a shit
about the horrors that their tax dollars have helped to unleash upon the children of Iraq. But some little white rich kid gets her stupid fucking Bush/Cheney sign torn, and America comes unglued.

Americans have got to be the biggest collection of morons ever gathered together onto a single continent.

26. Morons: Stupid or Ignorant?
I've always wondered...if Americans were exposed to unfiltered, unbiased news, rather than the worthless joke it has become...how many would consider rethinking the way they view the world?

5. Images are powerful and are used by both sides...
Unfortunately, the images of dead soldiers aren't being reported by the media, because bush won't allow it.

But a three-year-old crying on dad's shoulders--well, the right will love this and will use it.

7. hey it is completely different things.
most Democrats are quite sensitive to children we care about them and so we are unhappy to see a child mistreated at an Edwards rally. I think the person who did this was WRONG and I don't think that very many Democrats would support this type of behavior. I don't know anyone who would mistreat a child.

The soldiers are a totally different matter. I want them brought home--but that is a totally different subject it has nothing to do with this child.

The fact that soldiers are in Iraq does not excuse mistreating children here. You could just as well say--people are dying in the Sudan, why get upset over a child. It is two completely separate situations entirely. I feel upset over Iraq and the Sudan--but I still have enough humanity left over to not like seeing a child cry. I am a Democrat not an Independent.

12. the fact is that people are PAID to disrupt..

17. look it may be very true that
the father is a paid disrupter. But that does not mean that I (as a Democrat) would make a little girl of 3 years old cry (even if I thought her family was jerks). Nor would I ever take any joy in seeing someone make her cry.

If I was at the rally and saw the little urchin (even with her freeper father) I would probably smile at her. It is called having a heart.

13. The partisanship is nausiating.
While not entirely independant, I don't oppose Buxh because he's a repub......I've seen what he did in four short years, I don't want to see four more.

I just want to pick up a newspaper, for once, and not say: OH MY GOD !!!....I can't believe this is HAPPENING.!!!!!

16. You say that too? I say the same thing literally each day....its becoming
an experience that I can't repeat, nor can the world afford repeating for another 4 years...

OMG! I can't believe this is happening! How can they do this?

14. Aww...that poor widdle girl!
(Sarcasm off)

Her sign was ripped up by a (supposed) Kerry supporter.

BIG FUCKING DEAL!

If the situations were reversed, the Bush goons would beat the fuck out of her Dad, arrest him and take the girl away from him.

Just like Bush himself, a real crybaby being manipulated by an adult.
(In Bush's case, Go Cheney Yourself.)

24. ...actually
Edited on Fri Sep-17-04 03:22 AM by lefador
A mother of a dead soldier dared to speak back to Pickles at her rally, she was manhandled and handcuffed by security... all because she dared to speak up. Did the little kid end up in Jail? Did America got her panties tied up in a knot over the mother of a dead soldier... hell no! That is how a mother who made the ultimate sacrifice is treated in Bush America: Give us your son and we will send you to jail if you dare not to like it! What sacrifice has made that little freeper twit made? And I am sure that in a few years she (the little kid) will talk about how rough she had growing up being mistreated by all them liberals because she had her sign torn off. The mother however will have to remember alone, without any sympathy from freepers, her kid torn off by a bomb he was trying to diffuse in Iraq.

Sad state of affairs we have got going in this country when a sing is deemed more important than a soldier. And these were the people who were supporting "our" troops. It is "our" god damned kids who are dying not theirs! Until they start sending their kids they better remove the "our" from the troops they support..
