MSNBC's O'Donnell Grills Sheehan - Finally! A non-barf alert involving MSNBC.

The lefties aren't going to be happy about this one:

NORAH O'DONNELL: Cindy Sheehan is America's most outspoken anti-war activist. But does she speak for America or just the fringes? She's called President Bush the biggest terrorist in the world and she stood side by side with socialist dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Now she begins a two-month hunger strike to get the American people to join her mission to end the war. Welcome to Hardball, Cindy. Let me begin by asking you, you know, Americans may hate the war, but they don't necessarily hate the president. How do you expect to get change by going around the world and trashing the president of the United States?

CINDY SHEEHAN: Actually, I don't hate the president either. I don't trash the president, I trash the president's foreign policy, which is fundamentally and inherently wrong and immoral. And I don't tell people around the world anything that they don't know.

O'DONNELL: But you called him the biggest terrorist in the world. So you are trashing the president.

SHEEHAN: Well you know he says a terrorist is somebody who kills innocent men, women and children, and there has been [sic] over 100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq on his orders. That was just the beginning. O'Donnell went on to call Sheehan's hunger strike "really just more of a publicity stunt," challenge her on her fringe views and confront her over her association with Hugo Chavez. Toward the end, it started to look more like a harangue than an interview, and I thought O'Donnell could have asked more substantive questions. But I was glad to see someone in the media confront Sheehan over her extremist rhetoric, particularly the "Bush is a terrorist" trope.

Hey, Norah, your total utter devotion to MRS BILL CLINTON is showing!!

The only way to tick off a true-blue Rat is to diss MRS BILL CLINTON and that's exactly when Cindy Sheehan got thrown under the bus.

Buh-bye!

I think this is the MSNBC distancing itself from Sheehan because she has become a liability.

They milked her for all she was worth until it became clear even to them that she is an egomaniacal lunatic.

Kos is next.

You got it exactly right. Norah didnt suddenly see the light. Cindy had the gall to be less than worshipful of Hillary so her days as media darling are dwindling.

BINGO......but I would say that your correct conclusion was probably lost of most of the viewers.

Uh, actually, she speaks for the totally, irrevocably, utterly mentally insane.

I want her to tell us where "there has been [sic] over 100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq on his orders" comes from? Where did she get this number? Where are the facts to support this?

The demo rats have to move back to the center, or at least look like they are mainstream. It's all about the elections!

I should've said this:

The only way for a Leftie to tick off a true-blue Rat is to diss MRS BILL CLINTON!"

Can anyone honestly, after seeing that video, think that Sheehan has more mental capacity than that of a petrified rock? No insult to petrified rocks intended.
