Equating the situations is a stretch...but both actions are reprehensible. But you don't see anything wrong with it. Thats sad.

Post #60,516 by Simon_Jester 10/31/02 4:55:17 PM Reply	No. What's sad isn't that Silverlock sees nothing wrong with it. What's sad is that Rush, Newsmax, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, Kathleen Parker, and GOP radio talk show hosts didn't see anything wrong with it when it wasn't their candidate. And what's really sad is that (apparently) the general public obviously didn't see anything wrong with it either. That's what sad. Silverlock is wrong...but he has lots of company.
Post #60,519 by Silverlock 10/31/02 5:13:54 PM Reply	Actually no. My first comment was making fun of Mr. Ego Ventura. Later comments were regarding the double standard of news media and Republican mouthpieces who decried this event with recorded glee about Clinton getting booed at a different memorial. Don't remember ever saying I agreed with the booing. Those are words you put in my mouth. "A civilian gang of thieving lobbyists for the military industrial complex is running the White House.

That comment, if you parse it for meaning, should lead you to understand I was referring to the "political" aspect of the memorial. I don't personally think it was "ok" to boo. I also think way to much is being made of this. "A civilian gang of thieving lobbyists for the military industrial complex is running the White House.
