How the left supports our Troops
Or... how the left exploits our Troops for personal gain:
Slain G.I.'s ma spurs anti-war T-shirt ban
OKLAHOMA CITY - 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 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 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.
The shirt vendor, Dan Frazier of Flagstaff, Ariz., issued an open letter to family members praising the soldiers' bravery and sacrifice, but said he would not stop selling the merchandise.
Dan Frazier is just using our Troops to line his pockets with green. Its all about the money, honey, and one day he'll find out he can't spend that cash in hell. Can't happen soon enough for me.

They call it compassion Linda, it's part of their mantra of 'I feel your pain'. Remember the funeral of Senator Wellstone where they made it into a sham funeral and turned it into a political rally. This guy's message is the same as the party's and he's abusing the memory of honorable Americans for personal gain to put out his hateful message. All we can hope for is honorable Americans to shun these aberrations and expose them. Thanks for exposing him.
