1. More or less.

2. The other two "memorials" you cite are just that and only that, memorials. Without a message or agenda. The crosses set up by her are part of a very calculated and well-soros-funded media campaign. Thus the false light.

Its sad that the liberals have to distort the memory and sacruifices of these noble freedom loving warriors to pimp an agenda that the American public has already roundly rejected. I thought we were a better people than that.

Cite, please.

First Amendment
 

I thought that is where you were heading. If I had to put percentages on it, I'd say Israel was 15% to blame.

Your analysis rarely rises above that of a glazed Dunkin Donut. Sugary outside, but invariably a hole in the middle.

Who decides where there's a message or agenda? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?

I will ignore this baseless ad hominen attack other than to note that it is the typical resort to the politics of personal destruction of the liberal inteligentsia.

I suppose as with everything there is a small black and white zone and a big grey. Without commenting on the examples RT gave, the crosses in this context are clearly black (or white). This is an orchestrated well funded partisan campaign and the crosses are part of it, not to symbolize a memorial for the noble acts of the dead but to lend emotional affect to the partisan message of live's which these freedom hating idiots think were sacrified by W in vain. If you want to join the rest of your discredited liberal pals and pretend otherwise , go for it, but at least acknowledge your obstinately wilful ignorance.

Seems to me a lot of people died on 9/11 who weren't necessarily Christian, and yet they were memorialized with crosses in a Baptist church yard. There's a definite message there. I don't have a problem at all with that message, I hasten to add, but I'm pretty sure that the church didn't ask the Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Zorastran, etc. families if it was ok.

If the crosses bore names of fallen soldiers and marines whose parents supported Ms. Sheehan, would the destruction of those crosses be actionable?

eta - in the civil, not criminal, system.

Er, neither is remotely close to treason

We're their names actually used? Was the "leader" of this "memorial" a publicity-hound puppet of the anti-war movement

Concur, wholeheartedly.

The guy is clearly an ass. But who was saying otherwise?

A Slave concurrence that the war is stupid and senseless? Hold on, I have to update the dossier. Something doesn't seem to fit.

Feel free to prove me wrong, but I'm thinking that, however distasteful you may otherwise find it, it's probably not actionable, unless she's doing something like standing over a cross and saying "see John Doe here? He agrees with me."

"Correction. Used to agree."

I think a cross is somewhat generic, unless the babyjesus is lounging on it.

I am sure that there are plenty of trial lawyers in Texas (and elseqwhere) who would be willing to answer that with a resounding YES, regardless of the merits, which is fine with me.

Umm, Penske?

What do I win?

Hmmm... Something like "Ask the men and women who stood on top of the Trade Center. Ask them and they will tell you: pass this amendment"?

Problem with dead people is that they can't throttle the misguided idoits who presume to speak for them.

Unless, you know, they're zombies, and then we have much bigger problems.
