I think that it was wrong for the group to use the Red Friday's name on their site without permission, and to use the names of the fallen soldiers without permission. On the same note, they took down the name from the Website, and offered to remove any name from the car, and the cause is importent enough that those people who were angry should stash their anger away in the name of said good couse.
