Who Beat up Dave and Jean?

An interesting apologetic LTE from Dave and Jean Ries in the paper today got me thinking.

They apparently attended the candlelight vigil Aug. 17th. in support of Cindy Sheehan. Their names were in the paper, with a pic of their car.

The LTE says that they were unaware of some things about the vigil . . .
1. That it was an anti-war rally.
2. That Cindy Sheehan said Bush was a "murderer".

They go on to apologize to, " . . . families of all fallen soldiers, all military families, active military personnel, our friends, co-workers, supporters, President Bush — and our son, who was killed in Iraq."

I wonder, can anyone shed some light on the Amarillo vigil? Anyone there? Was it an anti-war rally?

Futher . . . why apologize at all? They could have been there just to support Cindy. They have the right. ALL citizens have the g-damn right.

Furthermore, who told her it was an anti-war rally?

Further-furthermore, who told her what Cindy has said? Is it accurate?

Dunno . . . just sounds like they got sh*t-hammered by the angry right. Maybe at work, maybe in the neighborhood. The letter parroted MANY rethug talking points about Cindy and the anti-war movement.

These are grieving parents. They have paid the ultimate price. Leave 'em alone to do whatever they want.

PTS'ers, This shows how righties honor the families of troops. They beat them over the head with their "support the troops" ribbons.

Lastly . . . so frikkin' what if the rally WAS anti-war? What do you hyper-Christian WASP Republicans have against peace? Wasn't Jesus the "Prince of peace"?
