These guys still don't get it. They ply their political trade on the backs of dead soldiers and their families, once again.............. :mad:

The wholesale abuse of the painful image of dead soldiers is beyond the pale. When it comes to using these honorable people as political currency to be bartered at the ballot box, the Dems have no rival. Shameful.......... :mad:

There to take money, to campaigns, to supplies, workers, and utility bills, to get Demos elected, to take more taxes and give to social workers, to give to local prograsms, to help ther homeless and the poor.
No thanks, I will just give $1 to the bum on the corner and eliminate 6 middlemen!

Pat Tillman.

how the hell is that even in the same context? This is an advertisement created in the halls of some ad firm. Tillman was a news story......and a damn sad one. I think you are reaching here.

what are you talking about?

They knowingly and willingly withheld information about his death, Not only from the entire country, but his own family. They did it for one reason..

So they could use his death as a political prop. As a matter of fact... The conservatives have used every soldier, dead or alive as political capitial...

So your outrage really falls on my deaf ears.....

You have no objection to politicizing soldiers. If you did you would have spoken out against George Bush................a long time ago.

I don't believe it," seethed Ann Coulter.

Her contempt was directed at a September 25 San Francisco Chronicle story reporting that former NFL star and Army Ranger war hero Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, believed the US war on Iraq was "f***ing illegal" and counted Noam Chomsky among his favorite authors. It must have been quite a moment for Coulter, who upon Tillman's death described him in her inimitably creepy fashion as "an American original--virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be." She tried to discredit the story as San Francisco agitprop, but this approach ran into a slight problem: The article's source was Pat Tillman's mother, Mary.

Mary and the Tillman family are relentlessly pushing for answers to the questions surrounding Pat's death in Afghanistan. They want to know why it took the Pentagon five weeks to tell them he died in a tragic case of friendly fire. They want to know why they were unwitting props at Pat's funeral, weeping while lies were told by eulogizing politicians. Mary is now hoping that a new Pentagon inquiry will bring closure. "There have been so many discrepancies so far that it's hard to know what to believe," she said to the Chronicle. "There are too many murky details."
