Not Surprising, Part Deux

Rush Limbaugh is getting a little tetchy from the sound of this, erm, recent soundbite; via Media Matters:

LIMBAUGH: I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it. It's not real. It's nothing more than an attempt. It's the latest effort made by the coordinated left.

WTF does he mean by "forged documents"? Her son was killed. And she has a question for the democratically elected leader of this nation. The mainstream media (often referred to in the blogosphere by MSM, but I'll go with the longhand version here) is glomming onto it because it's a story that's continuing to gain curiosity by those who consume media, many of whom are starting to share in the question that Sheehan is trying to ask our President--what is the noble cause that her son died for?

And it's looking like more parents of fallen soldiers are starting to ask more questions:

The day after burying their son, parents of a fallen Marine urged President Bush to either send more reinforcements to Iraq or withdraw U.S. troops altogether. ''We feel you either have to fight this war right or get out,'' Rosemary Palmer, mother of Lance Cpl. Edward Schroeder II, said Tuesday. Schroeder, 23, died two weeks ago in a roadside explosion, one of 16 Ohio-based Marines killed recently in Iraq. The soldier's father said his son and other Marines were being misused as a stabilizing force in Iraq. ''Our comments are not just those of grieving parents,'' Paul Schroeder said in front of the couple's home. ''They are based on anger, Mr. President, not grief. Anger is an honest emotion when someone's family has been violated.'' Palmer accused the president of refusing to make changes in a war gone bad. ''Whether he leads them out by putting more troops on the ground or pulling them out -- he can't just let it continue,'' she said. [...] Their son went to Iraq filled with optimism about the mission but gradually became disillusioned with the war's progress, his parents said. ''He said the longer it went on the less and less worth it seemed,'' Palmer said. ''They're not doing the job right now. It's not the fault of the troops. It's the fault of the plan.''
