A very popular leftist tactic is to use the parents of dead soldiers to promote the “anti-war” cause. Anyone who criticizes the tactic, or the people involved, can simply be accused of brutish insensitivity and bam! the argument is shut down. Or at least that’s what they hope.

Sortapundit highlights a case where British media and “anti-war” groups are collaborating to promote a Cindy Sheehan-like “peace mom”—whose son did not even die in Iraq.

I think "when" is a very important thing, but "what the f*ck!" is also a very important thing to ask. Just keep asking "what the f*ck?" I mean, why the f*ck bother? See what i mean? The important thing is, deal with the "when". "When" will open a lot of shit for you. "What the f*ck" really makes it easier to deal with it when you understand the "when".
