Again, they freep the dead!
Billy_Pilgrim posted the AP story from another source in LBN, so I checked Yahoo and sure enough they're freeping the dead again. The story's rated at 1.64 with 38 votes, which includes my "5".
I got a great response in GD yesterday which ended up getting the story up over 4 and out of the "bottom of the page, link only" black hole.
Here's the new link. Thanks in advance for rating it up. :grouphug:

4. So sad that they need to hide the dead
My message to them, if you cannot face the true cost of war, then you are not prepared to support it.

5. Well, none of the dead soldiers
includes THEIR kids/family members, so they don't give a shit. As long as it's other people's kids, they couldn't care less.

13. Yes, they figure THOSE people knew what the risk was

when they signed up. It's the cold, cold thinking of cheap labor conservatives.

14. 2.73 - What a way to "support the troops." F*ck you, Freeps.
If one of these bastards would join the troops... ah, it'll never happen. Remember the girl from the Young Republcans at the RNC. "Oh, I can't go to Iraq. I want to be a politician someday and I'd like to live long enough to do that." Paraphrasing. But, this is a direct quote from me, "Fuck you all! My daughter-in-law is in Iraq when she'd like to be home for her 5 year old daughter (she missed her 5th birthday by the way) and with her husband and you freeping mother-f'rs can't even respect the sacrifice these people are giving YOU and YOUR f'n war? FUCK YOU!"

These aren't random freepers. These are employees of the White House whose job it is to suppress news that hurts BushCo.

How do I know? Well, has anyone in the White House denied it? I haven't seen one shred of evidence proving that the White House isn't deliberately messing with polls.

Why doesn't the media ask them if they mess with polls? Make them prove that they don't!!!!!

Don't you wonder?
