This is America where you are offered the freedom of speech and able to speak out peacefully without fear of retaliation.
Just as I say the left should be ashamed of their treatment of those that attend tea parties, the right should be ashamed of the way they have ridiculed Sheehan.
Losing a child...whether it via war, illness or suicide is something no parent should ever have to deal with while worrying about dignity. |

She is grieving and will grieve till the day she dies.
In her eyes, I believe she is keeping his memory alive.
Unjustly took her son? That is your opinion but by no means fact. |

Rep Power: 220 | | | Mrs Sheehan in my opinion has dishonored the memory of her own son.
A man who re-enlisted and volunteered to go on the mission during which he was killed.
She didn't deserve such a son.

Losing a child...whether it via war, illness or suicide is something no parent should ever have to deal with while worrying about dignity. ok....she still has gone overboard....the war still goes on and every time she goes out there and protests....she looks like a woman who has .....snapped....having those pictures with Chavez is an example.....he used her,he got what he wanted out of it....nothing she has done or is doing,is changing anything....her friends and family should reign her in and get her some help..... |

The only time the VA provide a headstone is when the service member is buried in a National graveyard so they can keep it uniformed. Funny you didnt know that.
Now run along and play with your toy soldiers big bad Marine.

I've been assured by many anti-Obama posters that the Left (including Sheehan) stopped protesting the war after Bush and the Republicans were gone from office.
