Plus he gets the message wrong. Why doesn’t he fight for the living soldiers coming back to horrible health care or the living that come back so mentally injured they might as well be dead. The living casualties need his help more then the dead. Yet like most left wing activists they see the easy to see fight yet don’t dig deep enough to find the real issues. So yes the deaths of thousands of troops is tragic but we have greater tragedies happening on a daily basis.

PS also i haven’t seen him fight at all about the soldiers coming back and committing suicides. Now if he had a shirt that had every suicide death from a military member or spouse i would definitely buy one. There the silent victims here forgotten and discarded by the military we all love.

Commercial free speech has less protections than non-commercial sppech. Note the regulation on signs and billboards, and even advertisements on TV (cigarette ads banned), but your point is well taken. It seems to me that a product produced to address political wrongs deserves more protection that your average carton of Camels.

That sold in a newspaper for $.35 a few years ago. If that was on a tee-shirt instead of in the press, would it carry any less of a political statement? Would it deserve any less protection? Would it be any less legitimate?

That people could answer “yes” to any or all of those disturbs me.

Yeah, that Freedom of Speech stuff is just a terrible thing. Either we can do away with that darned thing or you can go live in Iran where your need to curtail speech is the standard method.

The real problem is the embarrassment of these families who jumped on the Iraq=9/11 faslehood this this lying administration and now it’s cost them. They’re embassassed for allowing themselves to be duped into believing their son or daughter was fighting for a just cause or America’s safety or that the leaders who sent their child to die actually cared about them.

“I would think……”

We do. One hopes you start doing it some day.

I think they have a serious standing issue, since it is not their names at issue. Many states prohibit appropriation of a living person’s name or likeness for commercial purposes. But, I also think that this is in the nature of a SLAPP suit trying to drive the manufacturer out of business because of his opinions, rather than seeking bona fide compensation for wrongdoing. I suspect this class will never be certified, if it even gets to that stage. I would be concerned about sanctions and attorney’s fees if I were class plaintiff’s counsel.

Finally, I think dunder needs counseling. He is apparently as angry as these pro-war parents, and having just about the same effect on public opinion here.

I would think all the “privacy rights” left wingers would be all on board with the lawsuit; I guess this is just another classic case of hypocrisy on the left, eh?

I wonder where they found an attorney willing to take the case since attorneys are owing to the Democratic party that protects their checkbook in exchange for political contributions.
