For Republicans who are SHOCKED that MOVEON Mocks Petraeus

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Did any of you apologize for this?

[tigereye]

1. that was a truly, truly low moment

I was shocked by that - it was the height of hypocrisy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. yup. i love how they make politics dirty and then feign innocence.

such manipulation of the populace is unforgiveable

[bunkerbuster1]

3. K&R'd

I don't know why I didn't think of that, myself, as the obvious response to this faux outrage from the Goopers.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. thanks.

[bunkerbuster1]

17. And for the record, Move On does NOT "mock" the General.

There are clear, rational reasons to head off his spin at the pass, and that's all MoveOn has done.

Nothing to apologize for.

And Joe Lieberman can sit on a rusty chainsaw.

[Cha]

40. While in

motion.

[ck4829]

5. K&R

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. thanks.

[MikeNearMcChord]

7. I'm not shocked, hell they betray the troops everyday

by not pressuring the Bush Administration to increase aid for wounded vets, but refusing to demand for better protections for our troops, and sitting on their hands while military families are increasingly stressed by longer deployments and less time between them and lastly the ripoffs by the private contractors.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. true.

[Demit]

8. That's what I was remembering, the purple heart bandaids, esp. the idiot woman with one on her chin.

Look at them, the troglodytes, so happy when they're the ones doing the mocking. You should send these to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. The Republicans started down this road long ago. WATBs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. i am still so angry at the Republicans for the 2004 convention

they were so crass and cruel

[ThatsMyBarack]

9. GAG! BARF! PUKE! X A BRAZILLION!!!

I HATE THAT FAT, STUPID COW!!!!!!! :puke:......

I said it once, I said it several times: I'd RATHER look at the wedding photo of the wounded soldier and his bride. Seriously. Whatever happened to that??

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. me too. she was and is a disgrace to humanity.

[TayTay]

11. You forgot a picture

the one of the Iraq War Veteran who was part of the series of articles that the Washington Post ran about Walter Reed and their problems giving treatment. This honored Veteran was forced to beg for his care.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. what they do our country and citizens is unforgivealbe

[ThatsMyBarack]

70. Now THAT'S a better photo....

....to look at instead of all those purple-heart band-aid crumbums! :thumbsup:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Thanks For Reminding Me

My dad lost the sight of his right eye in North Africa to get his...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. the way they demeanded a purple heart was disgraceful

[Cha]

41. Yeah, that was "disgraceful"..

Moveon was pointing out the truth..Vast Fucking Difference.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. true,

[racaulk]

13. Good point!

Those people should be ashamed. It's one thing if they want to criticize or put down Senator Kerry (and there are certainly more constructive ways to do that), but to make light of the injuries of every single man and woman who was brave enough to serve in combat on behalf of our country is despicable. "Support Our Troops" indeed.

:mad: :puke:

K&R, and I hope this thread makes it to the front page.

:kick:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. thanks.

[Aristus]

16. What a fucking ugly bunch of trolls. Even without the sick, disgusting band-aids,

they'd be ugly enough to gag a mule. Fucking Repukes, man. Uglifying the entire Earth. :puke:

[HughMoran]

18. One reason why Republicans are putrid monsters

People like this just prove the hypocrisy that Republicans are too stupid to acknowledge.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

60. i dont think they are stupid. i think they think the american public is stupid.

[gratuitous]

19. And keep in mind . . .

That MoveOn is an independent political organization. It has nothing to do with the official functions of the Democratic Party. Our friends with the purple heart band-aids were delegates to the Republican National Convention, the very rank-and-file of the Republican Party. So, you want me to "take it easy," do you Ms. Ros-Lehtinen? I guess that Manolo-Blahnik pinches a little bit when it's on the other foot, doesn't it?

Tough.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. yup. that too.

[dolo amber]

21. Excellent, Pri

:thumbsup:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. thanks.

[GirlinContempt]

23. Ridiculous

[YankeyMCC]

25. WTF?

I'm not even sure I get it? They are trivializing the wounds of our soldiers? That is so reprehensible my brain is having trouble even accepting that.

[AspenRose]

29. It was meant to be a slam against John Kerry

but of course it insults ALL soldiers wounded in service to this country. And yes they did this at the 2004 convention, with total malice and no shame whatsoever.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. it happened during the RNC in NYC in 2004. it was mocking kerry's purple heart.

[YankeyMCC]

33. I see...fucktards!

[jojo54]

26. It was really making me sick the way the MSM was

crucifying MoveOn.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

51. it made me sick the way the MSM pretended this purple heart thing was funny

[IndianaJones]

27. what was the explanation given for this display? nt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. kerry did not really deserve a purple heart. his wound were trivial

swift boat.

[IndianaJones]

32. gotcha. disgusting. nt.

[underpants]

28. Well worth remembering

of course the fact that they were dancing and celebrating on the deathbeds of 2,750 people was worse.

Oh by the way check this out.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

64. sorry, i totally didnt see it.

and yes, i agree with you

[johnnie]

34. That was truly despicable

And it hardly even make a blurb on the news. That's how repukes support the troops, they mock them and their efforts.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. i was so mad with the media and their tolerance of this

even now it makes my blood boil.

[cobalt1999]

35. I was surprised the media let them off without any outrage.

I at least expected some veterns to object publically.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

69. it was outrageous.

[Kajsa]

36. And they call themselves "patriots"?

Hell, do they even know what the Purple Heart
stands for?

Those wearing the "band aids" look like ignorant
jackasses and besmirch the sacrifice of every
brave soldier who earned one.

Why oh why didn't someone call them on it?!?

The entire convention thought it was OK?!?

Unbelievable!

:grr:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. they all thought it was terribly funny. i suppose if you are a bigoted sadist it can be funny

[Kajsa]

53. They do have an extremely warped

sense of humor, don't they?

Bastids!

:eyes:

[xchrom]

37. recommend -- it is how you play the game -- that is all.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. its how much you can manipulate the people and how little regard you have for them

[xchrom]

55. indeed. -- however the republick party has dictated the rules

and either dems come to a dispassionate grip with that reality -- or they will continue to struggle.

either they exact a high price -- like moveon -- or they continue to present a face to the public that the republick party is able to discount and tear apart with impunity.

they'll stop IF and only if the price is too high to pay.

[Cha]

38. Not only repukes..

"For Republicans who are SHOCKED that MOVEON Mocks Petraeus"

Edit~ And thanks for pointing this shit out.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

57. i think some dems can afford to take the higher road attitude. i just dont think the repubs are in

any position to do it.

[Cha]

58. Yeah, I just don't see

any higher road where buSHITS are concerned but that's just me and some others.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. i agree with you but i also sorta see their point

[Cha]

61. I'm just really glad you

pointed this "purple bandaid" atrocity out..it really gets this whole "betrayus" into a better perspective.

[Jed Dilligan]

39. The faces of people who believe in torture

Their sadism shows.

[Cha]

43. Torture and

killing innocents.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. cruel assholes.

[guitar man]

46. And let's not forget their attack

on this great man also :mad:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. true.

[ProSense]

54. Your timing is

impeccable, especially given the Senate Repubs despicable partisan plotting to attack MoveOn.

Thanks for this thread.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. welcome. i have been angry about the way the destroyed kerry since it happened.

[WildEyedLiberal]

62. That makes me SICK

Those people are EVIL. Pure fucking evil. I will remind every single cowardly evil Repuke I encounter about this if they dare to bring up their false lying "support the troops" crap.

Ugh.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

63. years later i still feel sick about it

[bear425]

65. Error: You've already recommended that thread. n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

66. lol!

thanks.

[Kajsa]

67. I got that, too. ;-)

I can't recommend this thread enough times!!

Damn! ;-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

68. thanks kajsa.

[tabasco]

71. How about when Bush joked about looking for WMD in the Oval Office?

Oh yeah, I rememeber the republicans were outraged when Bush joked about the reasons soldiers are dying and getting maimed.

[ForeignSpectator]

76. Found a clip on youtube

it's not the one I was looking for but its idea is the same...

I saw Bush joking about WMDs on TV again yesterday and can't believe there was no outrage about this so very low moment...

PS : Check out who's all laughing about it in the clip, if that's all footage from 2004, it's a hint on impeachment-of-the-table.

[judaspriestess]

72. the double standards are beyond the pale

these people are so fucking stupid, its S-C-A-R-Y.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

75. they believe if you say it loudly and frrequently it makes it the truth

[Breeze54]

73. Assholes! Grr!! (Are there 2 threads like this?)

I could've sworn I replied to an OP like this today! :rofl:

:kick: & R'd!

[tbyg52]

74. Absolutely disgusting idiots.

Thanks for the reminder. Horrible people, who belong to the R's.

[B Calm]

77. I wouldn't be surprised if they all had Purple Heart license plates too..

[Perry Logan]

78. REPUBLICANS ARE TRAITORS.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

79. some of them are, others are duped.
