re: #101 austin_blue

But that’s because the Right accused her of using her son as a prop and you bought it. What if she was sincere in protesting an absolutely stupid incursion that resulted in the deaths of countless other mother’s sons? She became a whipping girl for the Right because, at a most fundamental level, she was correct.

There was no reason for her son to die in Iraq. Hussein was under our thumb, and Al Queda’s surrogates weren’t in Iraq until after we got there. Al Queda was on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border and we took our eyes off the prize and turned our attention to Hussein, because of some neo-con fever dream of victory.

You seem to be assuming that marjorie “bought it”, rather than marjoriemoon coming to her own conclusions. Really - I suspect she’s much too smart to “buy” some accusation being thrown out and about.
