Why are the Republicans acting like the two soldiers dying is...
good for them and bad for the Democrats?

That's all I heard on hate radio as I driving home today. They couldn't come up with any comments by liberals; just that liberals would be saying bad things about these soldiers.

Everything I heard in the "real" world is that everyone is even more pissed now. They're not mad at Democrats. They're mad that this war is still causing shit like this.

WTF!! I swear it feels like we are living in bizarro world.

2. Members of the bush base do not care that our kids are dying
regardless of the method. I look forward to one of their knuckleheads with a microphone tell the lemmings that one could get decapitated in a car wreck. When the number of dead soldiers hits 5,000 the lemmings (who refuse to serve) will be blathering on about how they should not have died in vain, only leading to more deaths. And some people in the pentagon believe that homosexuality is a mental disease?

7. What did you expect from the RW retards?
RWers don't even admit they were wrong. They never have epiphanies. They are devoid of a conscience. Robots. Androids. Hateful. Fools.

8. October 3, 1993, Mogadishu. Video of three bodies being dragged
Three is too many, and 2500 is not enough . . .

9. Good for them in that:
They can point out how barbaric and heinous these enemies are. How strong and fierce the new leader is. And that our killing and maiming is justified because these enemies are sub-humans. Bad for democrats because we are supposedly rejoicing in these grizzly deaths. Apparently democrats everywhere celebrate the deaths of young brave service men and women everywhere. Well, here we are down the road we knew well would lead to turmoil and mayhem. This road is not littered with long stemmed roses but body parts and rubble. We were supposed to enter the road to Baghdad showered with praises and flowers. The grim reality is that we are now greeted with dead beheaded tortured Americans surrounded by boobie-trapped bombs. I am stunned that the lovers of war-profiteering could not have predicted that when we torture, abuse, kill, rape, imprison, humiliate, interrogate, starve, and not rebuild what we bombed out, that our subjects of occupation might be looking for revenge. The least they can try to do is blame the Democrats.

10. they think it puts haditha and gitmo "into perspective"
hannity was saying that and claiming thaqt 'underewaer on head' is nothing to compared to this. of course, seanie knows full well that abuses are a just a tad more serious than that. according to the govt's own reports.

and last i checked, aren't we supposed to act better than the terrorists anyway?

12. What radio show was that? I haven't heard a single person say
it was "good" for either party. It is a tragedy. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. How could someone say that, when there are grieving families suffering over the deaths of their son, brother, friend. Horrible taste.
