The following comes from Blogumentary:
"The right-wing blogosphere is salivating over a picture of this little girl crying because "Democratic thugs" ripped her Bush/Cheney sign. Now, who knows the context of what happened, but obviously that's inexcusable behavior. For a larger context, why don't we look at what Bush/Cheney represents:
I could have posted much worse pictures of crying or dead Iraqi babies. Beyond inexcusable behavior."
The right wing blogosphere should talk less about cute little girls crying and more about the fact that innocent people are being killed daily. The Washington Times has even picked this up. Such BS. Also, the whole thing was staged and just happened to occur in a swing state... This guy pulled the same shit in 2000.
You know what? HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis were killed while Saddam Hussein was in power. Where was your concern then?
You people disgust me.

I'm still knitting blankets for the parents of women and children killed by bombs Clinton dropped on Bosnia. Selective Outrage Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To usuk, Clinton didn't mislead us into the conflict in Bosnia. I wonder how many people would have been killed if the US/NATO didn't get involved in the region. Many people in the region are glad NATO was there. Army re-enlistment in Bosnia was the highest in the Army at that time. Soldiers wanted to stay because they viewed their work as constructive.
You might want to follow what many soldiers are saying about Iraq. I've been reading about them supporting Kerry ... hoping to leave. Amazingly enough lots of Iraqis want us to leave too. Why are we there? Are we really safer, now?
Throughout history there are many wars that I would be proud to serve in... Iraq, is not one.

According to reports about Mr. Parlock, he should be investigated for child abuse. He takes his children to Democratic events to spread his political opinions. All the while he hides behind them. I don't believe his child Sophia was hurt at the event, she probably was scared. According to the press, he has done the same thing in the past with the same results. The press, even reports that people at the events believe the whole thing is staged. Which I believe too. American's in general are peaceful, however I wouldn't use a child at a Republican rally for political gain. That's disgusting. I feel deeply sorry for his children. They have an asshole for a father.

Duncan- Thanks for stopping by my site The Spitball Defense. You are correct that our views on some issues relating to politics vary greatly. That being said, you too have an interesting blog. Believe it or not, from a brief look I can spot several things we do agree on. Just because we disagree on some stuff, doesn't mean I'm not gonna bookmark your site. I look forward to reading it.
