Purple Heart Bandaids at the Republican Convention

[lonewolf0507]

The Stakeholder shows how low and childish the GOP delegates will go: Purple Heart band-aids to mock Kerry's service

Pat Peel, Delegate from Texas: "I have a purple heart, I hurt myself this morning... uhh... swimming a river I think it was."

1. Anyone....

...who even in jest implies that hurting himself in the safety of his home is the same as being hurt in a war zone, is truly an idiot.

I think mocking and demeaning the purple heart in this way will backfire on them. They aren't just undermining Kerry's purple heart, they are undermining EVERY purple heart! How many vets who have won purple hearts are out there watching these bufoons acting as if a simple nick while shaving can earn them the medal!

5. Pat Peel (sic) delegate from Texas???? OMG, it's a small world

Yuck,that's Pat Peale, she lives in a gated community in my little county in north central texas.

Her upcoming trip to the rnc convention was featured in a recent edition of the local newspaper/shopper.

Looks like she is having a good time.

She's not really a texan, she slothed here from ohio in 1992 and became a republican operative.

Local government has gone from dem to rep. Her trick is to offer a local democratic office holder $10,000 for his campaign fund if he/she switches parties.

During the "riots in the hallway" in florida incident she showed up to bring sandwiches for the bushco interests.

Hope this picture lives in infamy, something like the "moran" photo.

This woman is very evil.

6. She obviously has no children fighting in one of Bush's wars n/t

9. Her and Blackwell obviously never went to war themselves

How does anyone you never served in the Armed Forces, have the gaul to belittle someone who has?

These people are truly idiots.

Now do the folks around here, see why Kerry has been holding back attacking this SBV thing? This is going to turn out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to him.

10. Such joy derived from dancing on graves

Rock the Casbah - The Clash

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS:
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

12. This MUST backfire. How sophomoric and disrespectful to every veteran

who ever served. I'm sure they would have put themselves in such incredible harm's way and not have accepted a purple heart for an injury, because it wasn't bad enough. I'd like to know the numbers of soldiers who have ever done such a thing, except perhaps in protest of war.

[LuminousX]

20. There aren't many real vets in the Republican Party

who have the guts to stand up against the bullyism. I guess we should do away with the purple heart medal and take them away from everyone who has earned them.

[Mad_Dem_X]

13. Disgraceful!

This shows just how low these people will go - mocking an injured war veteran. They have no f***ing shame!

Looks like I picked the right signature line:

14. next up: cute plastic inflatable prosthetic limbs--wave 'em around!

16. A guy is calling in to CSpan on this right now

And he's doing an excellent job!

22. Apparently, it was a DUer:

18. Amazing.

I think I'll call my Pearl Harbor survivor/D-Day vet grandfather up and make fun of his "bravery".:mad::mad:

What's worse is that we haven't yet BEGUN to see how low these assvacuums will stoop.

19. so get out a sticker that says "2 fillings and a lollipop for bush"

.. let them play childish games.

[LuminousX]

21. Letter to the Editors

Write, ask them if this is demeaning to vets. If you are a vet, write and give your opinion regarding this. News needs angles and controversy, this is one of those things that could push the GOP off-script.
