The Looney Anti-War Lefties Resort to Anything For Protests

The article below shows just how desperate left wing protesters get when trying to prove their often off the wall points. They sit around waiting for tragedy to strike so they can pounce hoping to receive statements and commitments from emotionally stressed families of fallen soldiers that they can mold into another Cindy Sheehan to trot around the country using them to fight the war or anything else they don't believe in.

Just ask the woman whom the story below features and what they did to her and their family after the death of their son in Iraq.

Mother : "Says protesters 'like vultures' waiting for deaths of U.S. soldiers"

WorldNetDaily: Mom fights use of son's name by anti-war effort: "The mother of Air Force captain killed in Iraq is battling the use of her son's name in 'Arlington West,' a protest-exhibit of crosses on a California beach on Sundays by the Veterans for Peace chapter in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Debbie Argel Bastian, mother of slain Capt. Derek Argel, told WND, 'I have repeatedly asked the Veterans for Peace to quit using the name of my son in their protests, but I am getting nowhere.'

'The Veterans for Peace won't listen to me, and they have no right to dishonor my son's service to the United States of America by using his name in their anti-war protests,' she said.

WND contacted VFP President David Cline by telephone, who said his group's policy is not to use a name if the family objects."

We have told our people that if somebody objects to a name being used on one of the crosses, the name should be removed," he said. "We encourage our newer groups to not put names on the crosses unless people come and ask to have a name put on a cross. When we heard about this problem our national board discussed it, because our purpose is not to cause grief to parents of dead soldiers."

Bastian disagrees. read full story

This isn't the first and only example of the left using a family or a dead soldier's image in an inappropriate manner. This occurred as well to another family trying to keep their son's image off of t-shirts being sold by a looney lefty for profit and they refused.

Mother Of Fallen Soldier Wants Her Son's Name Off of Anti-War T-Shirt (CBS/AP) A woman whose Marine son died while serving in Iraq is fighting to keep his name off anti-war T-shirts.

Judy Vincent learned last year that Cpl. Scott M. Vincent's name is among about 1,700 included on a T-shirt being sold by an Arizona man over the Internet. The front of the shirt reads “Bush Lied” and the back reads “They Died.”

The Bokoshe woman, whose son was killed in April 2004, pushed for Oklahoma legislators to pass a law that makes it a misdemeanor to use a soldier's name or likeness for advertising purposes without consent. The law goes into effect this November.

U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., introduced a similar bill in Congress two weeks ago after Vincent asked him to do so. Republican U.S. Reps. Charles W. Boustany Jr. of Louisiana and Geoff Davis of Kentucky introduced similar legislation around the same time. full story
