Can you give me some example? How is it that "they often pretend that they aren't promoting political causes"?
Right, quote a terrorist propaganda manual. You don't think they might be a little biased, do you? Or even full of chit? It indicates that they will use propaganda to advance their cause, but it does not prove a cause and effect.
Probably just a nut. To cite your source: In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him "your dad's in Hell." Westboro signs with politican messages have read: AL GORE FAMILY VALUES (with a cartoon of two men having anal sex) GO HOME (with a cartoon of Bill Clinton) BABY KILLER (with a cartoon of Hillary Clinton) BABY KILLER (with a cartoon of Bill Clinton) FAG GORE Phelps also wrote a book in the 1980s with his son-in-law, Brent D. Roper, called The Conspiracy. In the book, Roper and Phelps claim to possess evidence that AIDS was spontaneously generated in Africa; Truman Capote contracted the disease during an orgy with African tribesmen; Capote then gave the disease to John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe by playing football with them; and that the CIA assassinated all three to prevent the spread of the disease.
You can't even follow your own logic can you. YOU SAID there was no cause and effect between our own citizens and Congressmen calling the war a huge failure and calling for IMMIEDIATE troop withdrawls and our men getting killed. I said it emboldens the terrorists to fight more and KILL more. You said no cause and effect. I show you where these terrorists write the same thing I said because it will make us leave because mom's, and liberal ex-hippie Congressmen and the rest of the lib's will start crying for our men to come home. Generals in Nam wrote the same thing after they forced us out. Just ignore my posts. You can't even follow your own logic when it's thrown in your face.
Her son's death is what caused her to become an activist, but that is irrelevant. The question is--How is she "pretending" that she isn't promoting a political cause? She's openly and obviously promoting a political cause--she wants the war stopped. That is a political cause. Where is there any pretending? Does she pretend that her son is dead? Is she supposed to not mention him because it embarasses the president?
The problem is deception. She makes emotional appeals based on a tragedy to move her political agenda forward. Tell me her dead son would appreciate that...
He wouldn't. Her husband and surviving children damn sure didn't, and they are now divorced. She's all alone now.
Just on the radio they said another high value target captured or killed in Iraq. Also, the Republican's in Congress drew a line and asked the DEM's to get up on the floor of Congress and say what they will to the whole country about the president or Iraq.........*crickets.* Not one got up and said anything. They'd rather say it to Tim Russert while getting lobbed setup questions for an hour or to an audience of DEM liberals. I've been waiting on Republicans to do this........... Man it really is a bad week for DEM's. Good for AMERICA-- bad for DEM's who count on losses to win.
