After a direct hit, they're tough to ID.

"We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores and the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years."

Since we set foot on these shores in about 1620 it's good to know that killing stopped in about 1820.

Cindy was just on the ABC News radio break. She said that if Bush won't talk to her by Aug 31st that "we" will be taking the protest to Washington. The radio station should put the BBQ back on because by using the word "we" she has identified what she is doing as not being the act of a "grieving" mother, but an organized protest. The gloves come off. She also sounds crazier when you hear her than when you read her comments.

Oh, this has been an organized protest from day one. Cindy glommed onto the the ultra-left (taxpayer funded) Veterans For Peace convention, which had been planning a "protest" at the White House in September for months:

Cindy Sheehan at the Veterans for Peace National Convention
6 comment(s).

The Veterans for Peace National Convention wraps up today at the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas.

So anyway, I’m gonna go to Crawford tomorrow, and I’m gonna say I want to talk to him, and they say, he’s not coming out, I’m gonna set up my tent there until he comes out to talk to me.

And I have the whole month of August off, just like him. It’s just the way it worked out, I was supposed to go to England tomorrow to do some Downing Street things, but Conyers cancelled, so hey, I have a lot of free time on my hands, and I’m gonna stay until he comes out and talks to me. And if he quits his vacation and goes to D.C., I’ll pull my tent up, I’ll go to D.C., and put it on the White House lawn, and I’ll be waiting for you guys when you get there September 24th.

"I got an email yesterday - - If you guys heard I just had a story published that talks about - - it’s called Where Do I Live?, it talks about an Iranian-American who got the shaft because a recruiter liked him, and the recruiter falsified his paperwork, so he ended up in prison. He’s been in prison since November without due process.

Another mother whose son was found dead in Iraq, they told her that he died from a drug overdose. Three months later, they got the toxicology report; no drugs. She was devastated, she said, “I know my son, he did not do drugs.” She was told that her son’s wife and his battle buddies said in a report that yes, her son abused drugs in Iraq. But when she got that report it said categorically that no, he did not abuse drugs. So how did her son die?"

It doesn't quite mean that.

1620 -> 2005 = 385 years

385 years is covered by "over 200".

C'mon, didn't you learn how to parse statements at all during the Clinton administration? (smile)

[wolfcreek]

At first,I felt sorrow for this woman and her family Now I see what's going on. these commies really think it's the 70's and we're still in S.E. asia. freedom of speech or not we must rein these idiots in before they cause real harm

[beansox]

what a freak!

[Sam Hill]

"And I’m glad to hear everybody else’s words, because somebody’s gotta stop those lying bastards. Somebody has to stop them.

the war criminals in Washington, D.C., they don’t even lose a night’s sleep. Then we have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a 5-week vacation in a time of war. You know what? I’m never going to get to enjoy another vacation, because of him.

My vacation probably - -this is really sad because I have a really cute dress I was going to wear to the banquet tomorrow night, but I’m either gonna be in jail or in a tent in Crawford, waiting until that jerk comes out and tells me why my son died.

But do you think George Bush will interrupt his vacation and go visit the families of those 20 marines that have died in Ohio this week? No, because he doesn’t care, he doesn’t have a heart. That’s not enough to stop his little ‘playing cowboy’ game in Crawford for 5 weeks.

So anyway that filth-spewer and warmonger, George Bush was speaking after the tragedy of the marines in Ohio, he said a couple things that outraged me. Seriously outraged me. And I know I don’t look like I’m outraged, I’m always so calm and everything, that’s because if I started hitting something, I wouldn’t stop ‘til it was dead."

But I don’t care, I’m goin’. And I’m gonna tell them, “You get that evil maniac out here, cuz a Gold Star Mother, somebody who’s blood is on his hands, has some questions for him.”

And I’m gonna say, “OK, listen here, George. #1, you quit, and I demand, every time you get out there and say you’re going to continue the killing in Iraq to honor the fallen heroes by continuing the mission; you say, ‘except Casey Sheehan.’”

“And you say ‘except for all the members of Goldstar Families for Peace’ cuz we think not one drop of blood should be spilled in our families’ names. You quit doing that. You don’t have my permission.”

And I’m gonna say, “And you tell me, what the noble cause is that my son died for.” And if he even starts to say ‘freedom and democracy’ I’m gonna say, bullshit.

You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you don’t tell me my son died for ‘freedom and democracy.’

Cuz, we’re not freer. You’re taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people aren’t freer, they’re much worse off than before you meddled in their country.

You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine...

(massive round of applause)

At first,I felt sorrow for this woman and her family

I still feel sorry for her family. Many members of her family are begging for her to stop this nonsense.

If nothing else, the far left knows how to stroke and manage their useful idiots.

Refer to the history of the Bolshevik Revolution as to what happens when a useful idiot becomes a useless idiot.

[Sam Hill]

"No, I think I probably will be here for the whole month of August, because we know how George is. He’s so arrogant, and he’s so foolish and he won’t listen to reason. And he would rather have a Gold Star Mother and her supporters swelter in the hot, August Crawford sun than to bring me in.

Because, you know what? He’s afraid of me. He’s afraid of what I represent. I represent opposition to him, and I represent the truth. And that frightens him, and we all know that he’s a big coward."

"Like last night, the Secret Service kept warning us that if we stayed we’d probably be hit by a car. I called my friends and had them post on the Daily Kos what the Secret Service was saying. Because I just wanted America to know that if we got hit by a car last night, it probably would have been the Secret Service.

They were intimidating us into leaving, that’s for sure. So we put that out on the internet, because I know that the more people know I’m here and what’s going on, the less chance of anything happening."

I’m gonna stay until he comes out and talks to me

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...she is so special....

[Sam Hill]

"And the Secret Service didn’t even stop by today. If they did, I was planning to say you better make sure nothing happens to us, because if anything does happen, the world is going to think that you did it."

"So [Bush] meeting with me in June of 2004, when I was still a mother who was deeply in shock has no relevance on today."

I thought she said she was going to be arrested today.

She is so full of herself. GWB has faced down way, WAY bigger enemies than you, little Miz Cindy, and carried the day. But you keep on dreaming that he's shaking in his boots at the thought of you and your moonbat ravings.
