A photo of a Massachusetts woman flashing her middle finger at Arlington National Cemetery has sparked widespread disgust across the web and prompted an online petition to get the woman fired from her job. Lindsey Stone posted the picture of herself making the obscene gesture at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, next to a sign at the military cemetery that asks for ´Silence and Respect,´ in October and the snapshot quickly went viral.

FTA "...it was just a spur of the moment total lapse of judgment. She´s very sorry that she offended anybody,´ according to her father. Yeah, it was just a "spur of the moment" thing when she posted it on Facebook, too? No, she knew what she was doing, and the disrespect was her intention. She showed us what she thought of those of us who fought for her freedom to do it. If she continues to work there at Life, then a large number of vets will cross that place off their list.

Let us not forget that those who died in service to country did it so this twit could exercise free speech. And, we are free to call her a classless idiot. I love free speech.

All of us do stupid things on occasion. But it takes a really classless idiot to compound the stupidity by posting it on Facebook. I didn´t see her age in the article, but I certainly hope her emotional maturity catches up before she does too much damage.

Disgusting slob. Yes, it has the right to do what it did Because of the dead she insulted. It also was a slap to every family member of those who died so it could be disrespectful. It would be ´wrong´ but , oh so satisfying to have someone slap it to the ground and walk away whistling. ( ´it´ refers to what appears to be a ´her´ )

It was a stupid and disrespectful thing to do and to post it on Facebook no less. Having said that, I don´t want to demand she be fired, that´s what the left does.

A good time to remember that actions have consequences. The actions of those buried at Arlington gave the woman that ability to "act stupidly". Her action may lead to losing the job. Losing her job may improve her behavior in the future.

Dear Ms Stone,
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life. Instead of being "employed" at LIFE, it appears you should be a resident.

Oh, #7, because, " that´s what the left does, you don´t want to do it." Great. They´ve been kicking our asses for over 40 years in their Long March. Yeah, let´s stay on the high road and lose our freedoms with style and class. I say bullcrap. I´m sick of it. It´s time we adopt some of their weapons to win this war. Step on their necks at every turn and don´t let up. There, I feel better.

Stone should be embarrassed not fired. Bill Maher, Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart , Rosanne Barr etc. have done far worse and are celebrated for their edgy wit.
She has a right to be Offensive. Just as her employer if Personally Offended he has the right to fire her!
Let them work it out!

I think Lindsey can be considered as a poster girl for the political party which occupies our White House. Maybe she could pose with her significant other for the poster picture. .... It is doubtless that the Facebook post accurately defines many of the voters who re-elected Obama.

What you see here is an attack on society, not an attack on what society has to say. Freedom of speech was intended to protect dissident speech, not anti-social, juvenile speech simply intended to break down the social bonds of civilization. There is a difference, and it´s time for the law to catch up.

This is an area where people really misunderstand the Constitution. The Constitution deals with the relationship between the Government and the People. It does not regulate the relationship between people. The Government can not stop your free speech and people can not use "state action" to stop your free speech; but people are absolutely free to argue that free speech is commercially bad for business or bad for charities.

Re: some of these comments, I grew up in MA and a lot of my high school classmates served proudly in the US military. The state does have its ample share of liberal idiots and low-class losers like this woman, but it also has a lot of US veterans. Many of them vote Republican. This is doubly true when you get out past metro Boston, into the smaller towns. Thanks.

I agree with #12. For every 1st Amendment action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For too long, its like we have been playing a game of tiddlywinks with the Progressives. The problem is, they aren´t playing tiddlywinks, they are in a boxing match with us and they use different rules in their game. Whenever one on our side doesn´t follow our rules and plays by their boxing match rules, they scream and we scream foul. Its time we quit playing tiddlywinks with them and get into the boxing ring, take the gloves off and wait for the bell.

I´m sure Code Pink and the American Communist Party are both waiting to offer her a job when she loses her current one.
She will fit right in!!!
And I´m sure MSNBC has already offered her a job as their military correspondent. She has clearly masterd their utter hate and comptempt for our military...

Frankly, I don´t see it as that big a deal... a playful mug for the camera and an ill advised (i.e. stupid) post. People tend forget that Facebook is not as private as a photo album on the coffee table. I saw it as mocking the sign´s admonition, not mocking the reverence of the cemetery. It is ridiculous that such a sign is necessary.
In short, I saw it as a brief encounter with a poor attempt at humor, not intended as a message of disrespect toward those fallen. She said she was sorry. I believe she is sincere in that apology.

OK #36, consider this.
I, as a white male, do the exact same thing, EXACTLY, that this woman did.....
at a memorial area for Martin Luther King Jr.
I would be immediately fired no matter where I worked, and if the company paused even briefly, busloads of people would descent and picket the business.
Every talk show would be running the story non-stop, it would obscure even the Obama news.
Guaranteed.
But for fallen soldiers...of all colors...its no big deal.
I am curious, what exactly IS a big deal to you?

To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy who, as of this writing, may or may not have had his presidential library hit by a terrorist bomb yesterday: “Ich bin ein Bostonian.” Yesterday’s deadly attack on the Boston Marathon did something to me that eight years of living, writing and talking in this city couldn’t:It made me a Bostonian. I mean a Bostonian all the way down in my gut.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
