- Aidenag, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7its absolutely no different than the Repubs using images from 9/11 for 5 years now..... cant have it both ways echo.
- stolikat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It is very different. 9/11 was not the same as soldiers falling on the field of battle. It was an attack on civilians; women, children and elderly where the victims, not soldiers. A mammoth difference.

- bonchbonchbonch, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2There's no way this story will be making it to the front page. Stories like "Karl Rove got heckled" are blasted to the front page with a whopping 350+ Diggs, while stories like this tend to plateau out around 30. And yet the prominent liberal submitters (like BloodJunkie) will still act as though there's not a total left-leaning bias in the Digg politicsl section. This place is totally out of balance.
- choice, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Rep just resent having their token images of terror used against them. The coffins don't offend me as much as that picture of the maffioso, Jack Abramoff and the images of Hurricane Katrina refugees. Those make me sick. But I see no complaint about those coming from the likes of restate, because they are simply indefensible.

Dig for appropriate way to honor the fallen.- stolikat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You have never served in any armed service. You have no right to make that statement. Please retract to respect yourself.

http://www.votevets.org/ - slugicide, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Are these the flag-draped coffins the Republicans fought to keep from Americans' view? The one's the blogosphere had to liberate? If it were up to the Republicans, showing these images publicly would be illegal.
- stolikat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Everyone in America is aware of the casualty count in Iraq. It is broadcast on every major new broadcast nightly. We need no pictures of flag draped coffins disrespecting the families of the fallen.
- stolikat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It has been a long standing military tradition to keep these pictures from the press to honor the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This predates WW2. Anyone who dishonors this tradition is a traitor and should be criminally punished. This is not a political issue, just one of respect to the families of the fallen. Please keep it that way and digg this post. thanks

republicans have been doing the same thing for five years.
i never found it distasteful, and i dont find it distasteful now that the dems have grown the balls to use the same campaign tactics as the GOP. they might even *gasp* start winning elections again. - echoparkdirt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2SURPRISE: This seems to have been buried, it's nowhere to be seen.
- Roger_Ramjet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The difference is the left has been bitching and complaining about ANY 9-11 images being used in campaigns, and now we're supposed to say this is any different? HYPOCRISY. DISGUSTING HYPOCRISY.
