I say Catherine Baker Knoll is a heartless person. Why would I say this? I say this because she crashed a funeral of a fallen Marine, to make an anti-war message. I have no problem with her being against the war and saying so, that is her constitutional right, but you do not crash a[…]

But they did get it right about the counter protest using profanities, but what they got[…]
