Liberals, appeasers and other America haters at home and abroad can now rejoice: Cindy Sheehan and her rabble rousing group called Codepink: Women for Peace, are going to single handedly force President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq.
Sheehan, and her strange feminist sisterhood, have recently adopted a plan to join the ranks of Mahatma Gandhi and Cesar Chavez by conducting a hunger strike in order to make a peaceful political statement. The women plan to fast until President Bush pulls US troops out of Iraq.
According to Codepink “hundreds of celebrities, veterans, mothers, and concerned citizens across the country will participate in a rolling fast.” Strikers will include pro-marihuana activist and musician Willie Nelson along with America hating actors, Danny Glover, Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon.
When I first heard the news about Sheehan’s fast I thought I would see some real suffering. You know, something death defying like the time David Blaine sat in a Plexiglas cage on the River Thames in London fasting for 44 days.
Of course, being the weak kneed liberals that they are, Sheehan and her group are not exactly fasting like David Blaine, Mahatma Gandhi or Cesar Chavez by starving themselves for 20 or 30 straight days, but instead making up their own fasting rules. Simply put, they are conducting a rolling fast.
I'm not eating at this moment, so I guess I'm fasting.
Now fly me to Australia so I can spread the message of fasting.
like the guiness commercial, rolling fast:
B R I L L I A N T !
a wussie fasting.. 8 hrs of no food and then the next person does another eight.. yay... such sacrifice! such valor and determination! *king punks!
Looks like she's trying to pull a fast one on us. :)
I want a weigh in. Like at the fights. Only with more clothes.
What's that, a "fast" that keeps the rolls on their bellies intact?
You can look at that cow and see she's not fasting.
Never thought I'd live to see the day, when the real Pravda, tells the truth, and the New York Slimes, spews out lies, propaganda and disinformation every single day.
No way.
Interesting to read tis in pravda, but I found the link to the "rusian pussycat dolls" even more interesting :)
A 'rolling fast'? One day? I hope they don't put themselves out too much.
What is a rolling fast? Each person taking part in the Codepink protest will fast for only one day and then pass the fast on to one of his or her liberal friends. This friend will in turn fast for only one day and then pass the fast along to another friend. Sort of like a huge, hunger chain letter, but of course the protester can eat when his or her shift is over.
I want the skinny on this! What a waste of our time! The fasting rules appear pretty thin!
B R I L L I A N T !
I've gone 3-4 days with only water without any hardship. These liberals can't even go half a day without?
They don't have the resolve and integrity, or honor to even claim to be in the same class of activist as Ghandi.
It probably thinks fasting means no snacks between meals.
For gods sake, even the muslim terrorists fast longer then this and would find this embarrassing.
FWIW, fasting for a cause is like mental masterbation, it feels like something, but its not doing anything.
And most of the folks you have a problem with, simply view it as a slow form of removing yourself from them.
Its probably the most ineffective form of protest there is....well, now the 2nd, next to "rolling fasts".
Can Catholics use this for the Lenting fasting requirements? Won't bother me since I'm over 60.
The 27-year-old republican spent the last days of his life on a water bed to protect his fragile bones.
