***..........Whether the Sept. 24-26 rally attracts a large mainstream turnout could have a dramatic impact on the future of antiwar activism - and how politicians of both parties respond. A central demand of the protest - immediate US withdrawal from Iraq - does not reflect the majority view of Americans, analysts note. Polls show about one-third of Americans hold that position [withdrawing]..........***

AP would get a better/accurate reponse if they didn't poll traitors.

Pity for the Bush haters that about 45% or more of those polled here do not vote. Gee wonder why the Dinosaur Media gave up on the normal standard of LIKELY VOTER in the last 3 months? Couldn't be because they want the story line to be "Iraq's a quagmire and the people know it" could it? Again, look at the banSheehan's poll numbers. Sorry wacko fridge "Journalism Professors" but you dreaming if you think your Movon.org organized "vigils" represent an new "mainstreamness" for the Hate America First Left. When you can only get about 1000 people to show up at your protest in the heart of wacko anti-Americanism, Minneapolis, you are nowhere near significance.

Also note. This is the AP poll, the same one that told us all thru 2004 it was going to be "President Kerry" in a landslide. It would be more credible to quote a CBS poll then this garbage.

It was an incredible success. She single handedly:

Stopped the war

Brought peace to Iraq

Impeached President Bush

Re-empowered Saddam, the Benevolent, to be president elect again

And brought all the war dead back to life

She stopped to rest in order to be ready for Katrina.


Cindy Sheehan is a pathetic and sad mother. Casey Sheehan died trying to help the Iraqi people, Cindy knew he believed that. He voluntered to go on a rescue mission for his fellows. Cindy in her bizarre and extreme grief is willing to dishonor Casey's sacrifice.

At what cost? Her family...her her credibility...her job...her sanity?

And who is willing to use her? Code Pink...MoveOn.org...the usual suspects?

They are protesting at Walter Reed. Do they really support the troops?

Recently, the Washington Post withdrew its co-sponsorship of the event, citing the potential that it could become politicized.

Man, I HATE walking, but I guess now I'm gonna have to.

It was a turning point, I think," says Todd Gitlin, a professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University

The Christian Science Monitor engages in wishful thinking here, quoting a rabid anti-Bushite.

For Bush, there's bad political news as well: a Gallup poll, released last Friday, showing the lowest job-approval rating (40 percent) of his presidency

It's only bad news if he cares. Since Bush doesn't take polls to decide what decisions to make (so much different than he predecessor), he probably doesn't care what the poll numbers show. How did we govern ourselves before there were polls?

"Regardless of the fact that Sheehan did not get a face-to-face audience with Bush"

She already got a face to face with President Bush. Her twisted efforts are irrational, selfish and irresponsible...otherwise everything we've come to expect from the leftists.

"...the larger tableau of bad news for the US effort in Iraq, dominated by a US military death toll approaching the symbolically significant 2,000-person mark, and faltering Iraqi efforts to draft a broadly acceptable constitution."

Can't you just see this piece of crap salivating as she wrote this? "The symbolically significant 2,000-person mark" HAD to be an orgasmic moment.
This is a quisling at work.

Cindy's protest will be bolstered up when Al Sharpton and Martin Sheen arrive. GAG!

"Grieving Mother"? Hell, she doesn't give a good rat's a$$ for her late son. All she cares about is her dance in the limelight.

After almost 4 years and two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, our casualty figure, and thankfully so, still has not reached the 3,000 total that the terrorist killed in just a few hours on September 11th.

These polls drive me nuts - this is the media reporting on the success of their own disinformation campaigns!

These media polls report the public's opinion on matters on which the public has no opportunity to gather first-hand information. All they reflect is the public's perception of the situation based on biased reporting, selective omission, and interpretation by predominantly left-leaning media.

The media keep up those practices and do some polls and over time find that they have turned sufficient numbers of the clueless that a majority now reflects the media's favored opinion. Then they publish the polls and more of the clueless see that and say: wow, if most of the people think that it must be true.

From there on, it becomes a self-fulfilling exercise that only ends when a major lie is exposed or another major event occurs that directly contradicts the media story - so major that it can't be missed even by the clueless. But if you have an election before that happens, you'd better hope that the clueless are too clueless to know where to go vote, or too drunk or too lazy.
