    I thought this was an anti-Bush button. Went to the web page and found differently! OMG (sayeth the atheist), they are serious! My father was in the USAF for 24 years. I was raised in the military. I can’t even begin to imagine why these AH would think that a dead soldier is good advertisement!

    I hadn’t clicked on it either. Can’t believe this is legit.

    Sent a forwarded note to the GOP about it — while they have yet to endorse it publicly I am curious to see if they’ll like it, and put it on the front of their website.

    I thought about buying a button to wear as an anti-Bush statements. No for two reasons, 1) some people wouldn’t get it 2) not giving these AH my $!

    Don’t forget to notice the sales/description text on that page…

    "The only way to stop terror is to fight terror. Yes, that means killing terrorists…and another thing, Jason Soros, what happened at Abu Ghraib, the panty on the head thing, is called hazing. And at least that scum bag still has a head. Peace-out Hippie!"

    God Bless the Right.

    Freedom of speech folks. Anyone can come up with a saying and put it on a Frisbee. I doubt it is GOP approved. Aren’t you the guys telling us we are losing our freedom of speech?

    You all can say anything you want. Who’s trying to stop you? Some are complaining that they find it distasteful. But unlike the Right, we don’t use corporate surrogates to clamp down (deny) free speech to others.

    We also like showing what hypocritical fools you are. "Changing the tone" indeed. Another Bush-Cheney "flip flop" or "lie" depending on how charitable you wish to be.

    Why do you hate telling the truth?

    Bush came in to change the tone but the Democrats are the ones who didn’t want it. He watched movies with Kennedy and passed Kennedy’s education bill and then later, Kennedy trashes him. That is not flip-flopping on Bush’s part.

    > corporate surrogates to clamp down (deny) free speech to others

    You need to get familair with what the constitution says about free speech. A corporation/private enterprise is not the government.

    And I’m sorry, but you need to get familiar with the real world, and what is going on in your country.

    The money is working in your favor *now*…but I’m guessing you’ll be singing a different tune when the money has turned on *you*. Even your empty shouts of "George Soros! George Soros!" (with nothing else to add to that argument), should give you some idea of where and how it’s the money running government.

    A real Conservative would understand that distinction. You, however, are certainly nothing like a real Conservative. So I can’t (and nobody does) expect much from you.
