The shirts at issue feature the words "Bush Lied/They Died" superimposed over the names of more than 3,000 soldiers who have died since the U.S. invaded Iraq.


The shirt is currently illegal to sell in four states, with pending legislation in Florida.

QUOTE
Frazier said it will take a court order to stop him from selling the shirts. But he said he hopes it doesn't come to that.


A recently passed Arizona law criminalizes the sale of the shirts altogether (since the seller is based there). A suit has been filed by the AZ ACLU.

States that disregard the Constitution like that should have all federal funding removed.

Think about all the advertising dollars paid to news networks for commercials run during programs about the war. Isn't that a case of somebody making money off the deaths of troops?

In any case, if the cocksucker legislators in AZ actually cared about the Troops, they'd vote to bring them home so their names wouldn't end up on a T-shirt.

It seems as if that
shift is afoot, as the

will adapt.

And that the troops

Iraqi police.

Oh, yes, indeedy. Even more glaring: the pundits and TV journalists whose careers are largely funded by propagating actual misinformation about the war. Two surveys in 2003 and 2004 by the Program on International Policy Attitudes concluded that 1) the more TV news people watched the more misinformed they were, and 2) misinformed people tended to support the current administration. We're talking gross and deleterious misinformation.

Here's some more fun that couldn't be shared when it first came out. It's publicly viewable now.

ABSTRACT
This study investigates the possibility that government-issued terror warnings could increase
support for the president...social identity theory suggests that fear of external attacks leads to increased
support for standing leaders...Across several regression models, results showed a
consistent, positive relationship between terror warnings and presidential approval. I also found
that government-issued terror warnings increased support for President Bush's handling of the
economy.

Now that scares me.

Sad, but true.

I guess I shouldn't complain much.
In TX, they're not even allowed to own, sell, or purchase dildos.
I assume due to the overabundance of authentic pricks. post-6-1069831687.gif

What, they want to pass a law to keep some guy from profiteering from the deaths of soldiers? Why limit it to the deaths of soldiers, and why not start with this guy?

I always thought if you got that old, rich and worthless, you'd want to give back to a world you will soon be leaving, especially after having taken more than your share.
