Charlie Rangel calls for (or "hopes" for) an apology for bandaids

[Sparkly]

But Terry Holt says "In the Republican party we allow people to express themselves."

Unbelievable. I hope this backfires on them.

express his opinion. Republicrites never cease to amaze.

icon of dishonor with impunity ... let's take the photos, let's take the videos and let's take them down ... in our vet family, this is the FINAL straw!!!

14. Kerry should frame his American Legion speech around this

he has already pointed out Bush's pattern of praising his war hero opponents, at the same time his operatives are smearing them.

This fits right into that pattern. The real face of the Bush machine is that guy with the bandages.

15. But nary a one will be found on the floor tonight. The word has gone out.

They know they screwed up. Of course it was just low level "underlings" who wore the bandaids - not the higher ups. And the winks and nods by the higher ups had nothing to do with the Iraqi prison abuses either, so stop saying that!

[gratuitous]

16. See veterans?

Every last one of you with a Purple Heart is being mocked. This is truly what the Republican party thinks of you, and how they value your service. You're nothing more than a body to be thrown into the grinder to make more money for them and their crony capitalist buddies.

It doesn't matter whether your wound was superficial (a "superficial" wound to a Republican is your wound; a life-threatening dire emergency is when a Republican cuts himself on a pull tab) or if you left a couple of legs and an arm on the battlefield; your service is something to be denigrated and made fun of.

Think about that when you pull the curtain behind you and contemplate the ballot in front of you.

17. Shove those band-aids down the GHP's throats!

Wear a silver star for JK:
