1) The media bias in trying to keep this story puts their anti-Bush bias upfront, the American people saw this in their wall to wall attempt to destroy Karl (his name starts with a K)Rove. When it's being covered for the 10th straight day and the lead story is: The Peace Mother's anti-war crusade against George Bush is ganing momentum as DOZENS against the war have gathered in Crawford, TX." Now the media is prone to exxagerate liberal cause attendance. It's hard to get to a few dozen by exaggeration, but when you see Ms Sheheen in the shot with nothing but reporters around her you know that there are dozens, mostly journalists.
2) The lunacy of this lady is showing over time. George Bush can stay the course, but she never will. She'll bounce here and there with different accusations and conspiracy theories. Watch, before long the media will see that this is hurting their attempts to take down W, and they will back off.
3) As time goes on and her attempts do not 'gain traction' the liberal left loonies behind her will feel the need to come out of the woodwork. When they do the media will not cover that as it will be shown that it's not a greiving mom, but more of the tyrpical hate-Bush left.
heh heh heh....bill for keyboard has been freepmailed to you...coffee out the nose onto the keyboard.
Oh, I think its good. She has been saying all sorts of looney stuff from way back when (e.g. "Bush knew" stuff) but the MSM has largely been ignoring that. Get her wacky views out in the open and it will be clear to any sane person that what she is doing goes far beyond the actions of a normal grieving mother. The Michael Moore-ons will continue to eat it up, but look where that sort of stuff got them the last election.
Even at the height of the Clinton problems, I don't seem to recall anybody that spoke for our side calling him a "lying bastard."
Let her talk 24/7. Nothing we can say about her can do as much damage as she can do to herself.
I think OUR problem is that we all know that the left really believes all that stuff. And it's damn scary.
It is a despicable disgrace and it cannot be tolerated.
She has been caught in a lie about the President's orignal meeting with her. Her own comments are not grief filled, they are virulent and hate filled. She consitently indicates that America is not worth dieing for...and now has started using offensive language in her attacks on the President and adding every one of the Michael Moore, Code Pink, and far left talking points to her arguements.
The MSM is allowing this, knowing, with an ounce of research, how false and contrived it all is.
We MUST educate those around us as to the true nature of this issue. The far left feels that have created this secret weapon, this unassailable icon...and we muct show them that this is not so, that in fact this is a descecration of the worst sort regarding the last full measure of devotion of a brave American soldier and what should be the loving and noble grief of a mother. That is all being wrested and contorted and perverted to make political points and we must let others know.
Cindy Sheehan, this weekend also became the poster girl for Al Jezeera, and her antics will get more of our boys killed.
Another BIMBO Alert.
She's a babe. Found her on Michelle Malkins site.
That b*tch should stop insulting her son. He made the ultimate sacrifice so she had the freedom to say that.
I see she is now blabbering about not paying her taxes. Probably figures they'll amount to quite a lot on all the money she is making.
Notice how the liberal media focuses on her anti-Bush rants but totally ignored her "My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel" rant.
If Cindy Sheehan showed up wearing a "Death to Israel" T-shirt, the liberal news media would simply run a stock photo of her crying face on the screen, claim "video-feed technical difficulties" and broadcast only the audio portion that attacked Bush while editing out all the Israel-hating venom that pours out of her mouth.
I agree. I think this story has that neighborhood gossip appeal, i.e. "Can you believe what that Sheehan woman said now?!".
Cindy Sheehan has had her 20 minutes of fame twice over. How many Mothers and Fathers of those killed in the Armed Forces try to make a media spectacle of their loss and opinions? Duty is duty. Honor is honor. Neither call attention to themselves, and that is part of why they are so cherished.
Trying to remember who said that "the moment you use the word Hitler and start blaming the Jews, you've lost the argument". She's her own worst enemy and people are quickly coming to realize that she's a total wackjob.
Made my morning...beautiful girl.
You're correct, it is.
Hello fellow Rush fan!
Sheehan is in desperate need of a Thorazine Big Gulp. Is there a Texas version of Florida's Baker Act?
Pravda at its best.
The MSM knows that if the broadcast her anti-Israel rants, she will immediately be dismissed as a looney. However, by NOT broadcasting these comments, the MSM unwiottingly exposes their OWN anti-Israel bias and their OWN anti-Bush bias.
Right now, I'm not sure who I detest more...Sheehan or the MSM. Sheehan is a nutjob. The MSM is just flat our subversive.
The MSM wins, hands down.
By the way, when is the leftist media going to challenge this SOB's statements, and talk about the ramifications downstream of doing a "cut-and-run".
They're beyond a disgrace, the whole bunch of them
