I know about the 9/11 wives issue, but I was wondering if she's stating that she's somehow more righteous than they are. She's got a lot to learn if so.
Her claim about the widows isn't that she is more righteous than them. It is that liberals can't win the dabate on the issues, so they always put forward these "human shields" who can't be criticized because they invoke irrelevant sympathies.
Another example of a human shield:
Cindy is a visionless retreatist with zero education or qualifications to be lecuring about foreign policy. She was also a left wing activist
before her son even went to war, but we can't say any of these things because she lost a son in Iraq. We just have to tolerate the lying, the smearing, the hysteria...and liberals use that to silence the debate.
The Left has many of them. And there is a conspicuous absence of this tactic on the right.
