I have trouble with the authenticity of the statements of the brother.
You would think that if your brother layed down his life for what he believed in, that he would acknowledge that. Something doesn't ring true here.
Um, he didn't. Read the wiki on Tillman for more info.
Folks like an Eagler will be quick to judge him. "Democrat" or "Liberal" just because Tillman's truths violate Eagler's precious world-view--despite what 66% of our country believes, despite the overwhelming evidence that we are in a morass with no viable exit.
Tillman was killed by his own troops and the circumstances surrounding his death was hidden from his parents while being used as patriotic fodder by those whose political wagons were inextricably hitched to Bush and his ilk.
In their tiny minds, disagreeing with the Admin= Democrat/Liberal--though I believe he will be stunned when all of us regular old Republicans vote them out of office next month.
Listen to Olbermann--many here will attack
the man but are completely unable to even give even half an answer to his comments, none of which are "left" -- you will find no pro abortion message, no gun control message, no let's raise taxes message, in short, not a single "left" plank. Yet these here will still portray Olbermann's message as "from the left."
This lack of rational thought by the far right whackos well represented on this board is nothing more than pathetic, irresponsible and dare I say it?
UnAmerican.
