Loony Left i USA - nu helt uden hjerne

Vi har vores egne venstreradikale multi-hadere her i Danmark - noget bla Kim fra Uriasposten kan tale med om - men de er vand ved siden af hvad den amerikanske version kan finde på - derovre respekterer de ikke engang de døde:

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell promised yesterday to apologize to the family of a slain Marine after his lieutenant governor, Catherine Baker Knoll, showed up at the Marine's funeral and trashed the Iraq war.

"I want you to know our government is against this war," Ms. Knoll allegedly told grieving relatives of Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, 32, as his flag-draped casket sat just feet away.

Sgt. Goodrich's sister-in-law, Rhonda Goodrich, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the state's No. 2 Democrat had shown up uninvited and planted herself with relatives near the front of the church. ..

"I am amazed and disgusted Knoll finds a Marine funeral a prime place to campaign," she told the paper.

Knoll prøvede at spinne sig ud af sagen med en lam undskyldning om, at hun var blevet "misforstået" - så er det jo ikke hende der er dum, bare den sørgende familie:

In her own letter of apology released to the national press late Monday, Knoll said she was horrified that her actions had been misinterpreted, insisting that she was merely trying to signal "my willingness to help the family through this difficult time in any way I can."

Efter amerikanske forhold er det imidlertid småting. Fem dage efter ovennævnte sag skete følgende i nabostaten Ohio:

FAIRFIELD, Ohio -- Less than 24 hours after an Ohio soldier was buried, someone pulled up 20 American flags from his father-in-law's front yard and set fire to them under a car in the driveway, according to WLWT-TV in Cincinnati.

The family of Pfc. Timothy Hines and neighbors can't understand why someone would do that. "If it wasn't random vandalism, what statement were they trying to make?" said Jim Wessels, Hines' father-in-law.

The car, belonging to Wessel's daughter, was burned beyond repair.

Mens politiet prøver at få fat i de idioter der har gjort det prøver naboer, venner og vildt fremmede at mildne tabet med en sagnomspundne amerikanske gavmildhed (amerikanere giver årligt over 200 milliarder $ til velgørenhed):

Members of a local church stepped in and helped clean up, and 200 flags donated by family, friends and neighbors were put up around the lawn.

"I was in the military also," Don Hodges told WLWT-TV. "I understand some of what he had to go through before he was killed. And I appreciate all that the veterans done for the country." ..

Hines met his wife, Katy, at Cincinnati Christian School. They had a 2-year-old daughter, Lily, and Katy expects to give birth to their second child in about two weeks.

An anonymous donor gave Cincinnati Christian $130,000 to cover tuition for Hines' children.

Hvil i fred, Joseph Goodrich

Hvil i fred, Timothy Hines.
