ABC's Charles Gibson on Cindy Sheehan's War Protest: 'Enough Already'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 8-20-09 | Noel Sheppard

When George W. Bush was President, ABC and Charles Gibson, like most media members, couldn't get enough of anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan.

Now that Barack Obama is in the White House, the host of "World News Tonight" is no longer interested in Sheehan, even telling WLS radio in Chicago, "Enough already."

I guess she served her purpose as reported by the Washington Examiner's Byron York Thurday:

In an appearance August 18 on WLS radio in Chicago, ABC News anchor Charles Gibson was asked about anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan's plans to travel to Martha's Vineyard next week, where she will protest the Iraq and Afghanistan wars while President Obama is vacationing there. Gibson, whose newscast and network featured Sheehan when she led anti-war protests outside President Bush's Texas ranch in 2005, answered, "Enough already."

“Enough already”

Isn’t that mighty hubris of you, Charles?

Depends upon the conviction in question.

As a former professional citizen soldier I share the contempt that professional soldiers have always had for conscripts.

As an American I am against conscription as a matter of military discipline AND a matter of fundamental rights.

As such I would protest the draft rather than the war.

I am sure that many of “anti-war” protesters were really just ‘anti-the gov sending ME to war’ protesters.

Every Wednesday in Variety and Hollywood Reporter, the network ratings are published. Network news is in free-fall. The ratings have gotten so low that ABC, NBC and CBS are constantly threatening to sue Nielsen.

“Cindy, you were a ‘useful idiot’ while Bush was in office, but now you’re going after the messiah. BEAT IT!”

Her moral authority depends on whose ox is being gored.

If Cindy moves her hate back to a Republican, Gilbson will worship at her feet once again...
