Bury Me Broken

An AP story "Grieving Mother's War Protest Draws Notice" gives us the following opposition paragraph:

"But Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the Washington, D.C., chapter of FreeRepublic.com, which has held pro-troop rallies, said Sheehan's actions are misguided and hurt troop morale."

So why is AP getting an oppositional paragraph from a conservative website? How is the "co-leader," whatever that is, of a conservative website an authority to determine whether a citizen of the U.S. protesting is "misguided and hurt troop morale?" Why do we never hear from troops returning that their more was hurt? Why not ask Kos or Armando if Sheehan's protest are good for the morale of the troops, that the opposition to the war is an attempt to bring them back home safely, to return to as normal a possible life back home?
