Kathy Eder holds one of her Hidden Agenda cards featuring a picture of President Bush. Her 55 cards show pictures of the president, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others along with quotes, mostly from journalists, questioning the rationale for the U.S.-led war. The backs of the cards feature a 1983 photograph of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Hussein. get your own deck here.

Thanks!
Just bought 3 decks.
One for a co-worker who has faithfully been our conscience throughout. He a first Gulf War Vet who was turned to the teachings of Martin Luther King by what he saw there.
Other two are for my kids to remind them there are always two sides (which, as Palestinian-Arab- Christian-Israelis, I think they may have gotten the idea already)
To the people who call those who disagree with our government un-American I remind you that this is what America is about, the freedom to disagree, and give you a quote from Tedy Roosevelt "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - - Teddy Roosevelt

I just ordered my cards about 2weeks ago and haven't received them as of yet. I am so pissed that the lies from that "Defense Ministry" in England got our Po'boy Porgie(George Bush)Tirebiter
into quite a twist. Now lets see daddy, and brother jeb get him out of this, hey folks, don't forget that failed S&L scandal that the other Bush brother got out of. Then every man,woman,and child had to pay back all the $$$$$$ that was (as they put it)in bad loans.... are we THAT stupid!

You Go Kathy !!!!!!!!!

Just ordered my deck - it'll go well alongside my aging Ollie North's "Pack of Lies" - a memento of another era of Republican warmaking, coverups, lying, and waste.

I hope Reagan kicks it soon so I can jusify a trip to CA to piss on his grave.

The current gang of thugs who have our country by the throat will not long survive and will take their well-deserved place in the dustbin of history as the selfish, arrogant, callous, greedy, boils on America's ass that they are.

Heck, I might just order a few more decks in memory of civil liberties lost to the Bushistas over the past year.

Anyway, you just keep on printing those cards - I hope you make a million bucks - you'll certainly do better things with it than the millions Bush and his minions will make in their misadventures.

You know, it just goes to show you how anti-American these vile ugly liberal scum are.

Saddam and his sons have butchered
hundreds of thousands of innocent people, women, children you name it.

But ALL you liberal filth can say is....So, other dictators have killed people in other countries that we support......

BULLSHIT!!!

You just hate Bush and thats it.
Your pro Communist anti american agenda is so very transparent.

I have been saying for years.....lets take out these crypto Stalinists in Iraq..

I have Iraqi friends who have had their entire family murdered by your buddies the ex- Republican guards.

You people are so very blinded by your left wing ideology that even the the 300,000 dead found in various mass graves doesn't make you flinch...

It's always a yeah, but with you freaks...

But your opinions don't matter anymore......

This hideous woman has managed to sell 3,000 cards and has orderd another 5,000

Big fucking deal!!

The Saddam deck has sold MILLIONS!!

Do you understand how much we Americans want you dead?

Do you understand that we are boiling over with hate filled disgust for you creeps?

Your day is coming, millions of Americans want to crush you in to oblivion...

You filthy American haters will soon be extinct

The sooner the better.

Americans are waking up alright.

They're waking up to the fact that for decades liberals have shoved their agenda down unsuspecting Americans throats...

All that is coming to an end!!

The November elections are just a prelude to what's coming...scream and shout as much as you want...

YOU WILL LOSE BIG TIME IN 2004!!!

Gray Davis is on his way OUT!!!

You are losing every battle!!!

Viva the conservative revoultion!!

DOWN WITH THE LEFTIST PIGS!!!

WERE TAKING IT TO THE STREETS!!!

AND WE'RE GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!!

Those who are complaining are just too blinded by party lines to see what's really going on.

Bush and his buddies in power have lied, and it's obvious to more than the majority of the american people - the ship is sinking, and now until election day, everyone, repubs and dems, are jumping ship - what a beautiful thing!

If you think Cheney and Rumsfield and Ridge are harmless, then you are too naive for the real world, and you probably also believe women should still be in the kitchen, and gays in the closets.

Great idea. But I tried ordering them thru this site's paypal setup and they wouldn't clear any password, nor did they give an explanation of why or what I should do to correct whatever I was doing wrong. So, e mail me please, and I'll order thru you if possible. thanks, and brava.

Three comments, and only one positive -- that from a vet. Interesting.

I'm ordering a set of cards. If I think they are good, I'll order more. I hope Kathy Eder makes some money out of it.

Whatever she makes won't be even a speck of a drop in the bucket compared to what our aWol President sucks in from the Rabid Right and Big BizNez everyday. Moreover, what Kathy is doing can be considered harmless at worst and good for the society at best. As a fellow vet to Elliot Adams above, power to her.

And Hey! Steve and Lloyd -- see you in the trenches!!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Take the other 50% of the profits and buy a ticket 'out of here'.

Thank you Kathy! Thank you for helping the truth squeeze between the lies of this administration. You are a true patriot, unlike many in the current administration. I think I have a right to say that. I volunteer for the US Army, I volunteered to be a paratrooper, I volunteered for Vietnam (and served as and infantry paratrooper) all as an act of patriotism. Now I am older and wiser, I know that patriotism demands that we speak out and oppose the wrongs of this administration.

I just saw Kathy Eder being interviewed on NBC 11 News.
I don't agree fully with her sentiments but I don't wish her any ill will. We all have strong opinions on something like our country going to war and some of us like to state our position. Most of us base our position on nothing more than media reports filtered through the lens of our emotions. Ms Eder, strongly showed that she had no more basis for her position than anyone else by repeatedly stating in the interview "These are not my words, they are the words of journalists".
Me Eder, if you are going to publish something so damning you should at least have the courage of your convictions. You are like a little child throwing stones stones at your playmates and blaming your sister.
