a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'

July 13, 2004
The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major's Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Stone was killed in March 2003 by a grenade that officials said was thrown into his tent by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson.
We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called him a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'"
The movie, described by critics as political propaganda during an election year, shows video footage of the funeral and Stone's fiancee, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and touching it to his coffin.
The family does not know how Moore obtained the video, and Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse.
She described her nephew as a "totally conservative Republican" and said he would have found the film to be "putrid."
"I'm sure he would have some choice words for Michael Moore," she said. "Michael Moore would have a hard time asking our family for a glass of water if he were thirsty."

Practically a double post, what is this?
"She described her nephew as a "totally conservative Republican" and said he would have found the film to be "putrid."
Glad that she's not basing their view on their political ideology rather than the film's content.
A maggot that eats off the dead? How about our 'bring 'em on' president. What is it, 900 dead now?

No, the posts were about different individuals. They were simply victimized in similar fashion. Thank you, drive through.

no, actually the article has been posted twice now.
if you're going to pop in once every 6 months, at least do a little due dilligence before spamming a bunch of news articles.
thank you, come again.

Well then I apologize for that. Nuke at will.
I am still going to post those kittens, though.

I'm far more interested in the homo-erotic LearyFan footage...
