Hypocracy of Shrub* campaign...

[kevinam]

Please explains something. Shrub* and his gang of thugs, absolutely refuses to allow pictures to be taken of our slain soldiers returning from war in flag draped coffins....Yet, in his very first tv campaign ad, he shows a victim of the World Trade Center collapse being carried out of the rubble on a flag draped stretcher. In Shrub's* eyes, is the only difference one is on a stretcher, and one is in a coffin?? To me, they seem terribly similar...Kevin.

1. in his commercial, it's pro-bush

but coffins on the local news are anti-bush. see, it's not hypocritical at all!

2. Actually, it's a matter of manslaughter versus murder

With the World Trade Center attacks, Bush was only partially responsible (say, about 98% responsible) for the deaths due to his unwillingness to act on intelligence forwarded to him by the Clinton Administration. Hence the manslaughter charge.

The flag-draped coffins, on the other hand, are due to his direct orders, sending in men and women who lacked the support necessary to adequately survive and do their jobs, for reasons that turned out to be completely false. Hence the murder charge.

So it's pretty much a degree of guilt, and which image BushCo* thinks will fool the public more.
