GRIEVING MOM: Karla Comfort wipes away a tear as she stands next to her
hand-painted Hummer that she drove Thursday to Camp Pendleton.

CAMP PENDLETON – The images on the black Hummer are a rolling tribute to the fallen. The young faces stare back at you from black-tinted windows. Some wear Marine Corps dress blues. Others smile, their heads adorned by traditional camouflage caps.

Many Marines stop in their tracks as they walk by the vehicle for the first time, fixated on the memorial to the 10 Marines from the 2nd Battalion 7th Marine Regiment killed in Iraq last year by a roadside bomb.

They salute. Two others make the sign of the cross.

The Hummer is that striking.

"My favorite part is the scene from heaven," said Karla Comfort, whose son, Lance Cpl. John Holmason, 20, was killed on Dec. 1, 2005, along with nine others based at Twentynine Palms....

She must be part Mexican.

If she was part-Mexican, it wouldn't be a Hummer. It would be a Monte Carlo.

And her son would be painted to look like an Aztec Warrior embracing a fallen Aztec female.

You would Vomit at someone paying tribute to soldiers wouldn't you?

NbaDan and guttersluts like elpimpo deserve a good ass whoopin and flogging publicly. How the fuck do these morons only worship a mother like Sheehan who disgraces the troops efforts, and then disgrace a mother who put a tribute to her son which had no agenda for or against the war. It was a simple memorial.

But that's why i will stick to my accusation of NBAdan, he's anti american, and as far as elpimpo, he's anti-think-before-you-speak. And if any of the mods want to jump in (including Kori) i'd advise you to go beyond actually reading what he post and see where his true intentions lie.

I haven't labeled a single person on this board anti american, not even SA210, my harshest critic and polar opposite. But NBaDan takes the cake and the fruit. He's a genuine anti american jerk.......off!

I do think it's ironic that this roving tribute to the men and women fighting overseas is displayed on a Hummer. After all, it is our dependence on foreign oil that often draws us in to these conflicts in the Middle East and causes a loss of American life. And nothing symbolizes our unfettered consumption of oil better than a Hummer.

I'm not belittling the military or any dead soldier.
They didn't decide to start this war.
They are neutral pawns in the Repug game.
But, they should have known that when they signed up for the military, that could get sent to Viet Nam type of war, a Repug-re-election type of war.

The Repugs chose to start this war, so this kid's wasted blood is on dubya/dickhead/Repug criminal hands.

The thing about Bush is, he knows he sent those people there. He knows they died because he made a decision. It was a decision he will believe in until his death, and likely history will believe was the right one in 100 years.

You can disagree with him, or my opinion on history. No one is debating who made the decision to send them there.

One word for you: Shun

Eh, I had a friend sent to Iraq on his second tour; before he left he tried to get me to sign-up so that he didn't have to keep going back again and again and again. War does strange things to people. If we all really supported the troops then logic dictates that we take real action to support them that really matters, not token gestures like hanging yellow magnets from our cars or painting their memory on a ‘Golden Goat’ that has come to symbolize what is most rotten about our society. Ms. Comfort (what a appropriate name) may feel like she is honoring her son, but to many she is also mocking his memory and that of his platoon.

Of course not, but others might. These guys are broken-down, physically and mentally, and reindoctrined into a military way of thinking. Officers in the military love Republican Presidents and administrations who over-spend on needless military toys and always seem to find a dime to buy another resort for former officers, but can't seem to find a few pennies to pay for the full health care benefits that combat veterans were promised. Of course, these GI's don't know how much they are being ribbed until years later when Gulf-War syndrome sets in and the VA is denying their claims because the military doesn't recognize their disease as being caused exclusively as a result of former combat.

It's a joke.

Dan picks on Ms Comfort, Yoni picks on Ms Sheehan. Both are grieving mothers but to the left and the right, it doesn't really matter because they have their own agendas. The fact they lost sons is beyond the point. If they don't think as I do, I will criticize them.

Extra Stout

03-17-2006, 09:20 AM

Ms. Sheehan got a lot of traction as a grieving mother demanding answers. A lot of people left and right sympathized with that. Where she jumped the shark is when she stopped looking like a grieving mother, and started looking like a long-time extreme-left political activist using her son's death to gain publicity.

I actually give sheehan a lot longer rope because she is obviously really upset about the death of her son.

I know that she is a nutjob, but I don't blame her for being one. She lost her son to a war that she doesn't agree with and now she is trying to make the man that sent him there pay for it.

Completely understandable human reaction.

I disagree with her, but I'm not going to belittle her loss.

That would undermine her son's sacrifice... and hers.

and thirdly if it wasnt for hippy fags like you then we could drill teh oil out of our own country and be less dependnet on iraq and the middle east. also it isnt bushs fault that we are dependent on oil. he wasnt around over 100 yrs ago when the industrial revolution began.

these comments are all aimed at nbadan btw.

and you are a sick fuck for making funof someone for memorializing their son. who cares what kind of car it is. you would probably be one of those bitches protesting at funerals. if cindy sheehan can be an idiot and do the shit she does than how does that make this other lady any worse, if not alot better.

Dumping the Hummer for a Honda...

For Janna Jensen, it was the dirty looks and nasty gestures from other drivers that finally persuaded her to give up the family's $55,000 Hummer H2. Her husband, Michael, meanwhile, was tired of the $300 monthly gasoline cost and the quality problems that began soon after they bought it.

So the Jensens of Reno, Nev., dumped the sport utility vehicle this year for a more modest Honda Element, still an S.U.V. but one with better gasoline mileage and a lower profile than the H2. And they are not alone.

Luxury sport utilities are becoming decidedly less cool than just three years ago, when they were the hottest things on wheels and dealers had long waiting lists for the most popular models.

On top of the sales drop that has hurt all sport utilities, fewer than half the people who bought luxury S.U.V.'s are going back for another one. Incentives for the vehicles are at record levels and for the first time, luxury automakers are paying out more for rebates and lease deals to entice consumers to buy luxury S.U.V.'s than to buy cars.

The higher cost of gasoline plays a big role, as it has for the last year of high oil prices. But wealthy buyers, who used to shrug off the expense, are shifting gears, as excessive energy consumption is becoming socially embarrassing.
