Look who stole your hard work and didn't give you any credit for it.

For the rest of you, tgslTakoma did the legwork on this story yesterday (as usual) on this thread:

Thank you for posting the Freepers' screen names. I was just now going to look them up, because I know this info was posted before, and reposted on several threads. Drudge should give credit where credit is due.

Yep. I knew I'd already seen this on FR. Perhaps after Drudge finishes "developing" this story, he'll mention where he got the info? Maybe? lol

I'm not worried about Drudge giving credit. When we heard he was on the story last night but not mentioning the first meeting, we called and e-mailed him about the Vacaville Reporter story, as we had done with several other media outlets covering Cindy Sheehan's grandstanding in Crawford.

As a result, Drudge was the only one to report Ms. Sheehan's original story of her meeting with President Bush.

I got on Drudge's radio show and was able give some more background on the story, including the now de-linked photos of the Sheehan family with the President on Cindy Sheehan's own Website. I also was able to name most of the news bureaus who were informed of all this and chose to ignore it. Unfortunately the call was cut short by the breaking news announcing the passing of Peter Jennings.

At any rate, it's not a matter of Drudge stealing our work; we gave it to him and we're happy to see him giving the story the play it deserves.

I think I need to set the record straight... Drudge didn't steal the story; I sent the link to the FR thread to him on Sunday night. When I first found the smalltown newspaper's report on Sheehan's meeting with the president (on a Sheehan family website, of all places), I knew it was big. Sheehan was telling a much different story to all the fawning MSM reporters outside Bush's Crawford ranch.

Kristinn called and emailed the story to all the MSM outlets he could think of, including CNN's Washington Bureau in plenty of time for Wolfie to include some hard questions for Sheehan on Sunday. CNN and the rest of MSM was ignoring it.

So I sent the link to Drudge. And Kristinn then got through on Drudge's phone line, and was able to tell how MSM had the story but ignored it.

Personally, I am glad Drudge ran with it.

Now the next big questions for Cindy Sheehan are...

1) Why did you pull the page from this site, "Casey's Peace Page" that had the Vacaville Reporter's news article on it? Why were you trying to hide the original story that contradicts you new story?

2) Why did you remove the webpage with the photos of your family's meeting with the president? If the president was so phony and so disrespectful at that meeting with you and your family, wouldn't those photos prove your most recent rendition of the story?

4) How can you ally yourself with a group (CODE PINK) that has donated money and materiel to the people who killed your son and so many other mothers' sons and daughters?

P.S. Thank you to all of you who pinged me with nice comments. I was lucky to find the old story before Sheehan and her handlers scrubbed it from her website, and from there Kristinn and I dug around until we found the story on the original source.

And this isn't the end of the story, with regard to Cindy Sheehan and her Leftist handlers of Code Pink, MFSO, VFP, IVAW and all the rest. They are at war with America, as much as alQaida and the Islamists are. We all just have to keep digging, and turning over what we find to the allies we do have in the media. This is a war we have to win. These bastards are helping to kill our military sons and daughters.

P.P.S. If you want to believe the Dopes at DUh, I'm a White House plant.

Ummm... Mr. Rove, if you're reading this, I'd like my six-figure bonus in cash. Small bills, please. Meet me at the "Roscoe" statue in downtown Takoma Park, at our pre-arranged time. And remember to wear your tie-dye peace shirt and boonie hat, so as not to draw attention to yourself.

;-)

Last word to all: If you are within a decent driving distance to Washington, DC and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, please consider standing with the DC Chapter every Friday evening, as we support and defend our wounded soldiers and their families against the Leftists of Code Pink and their comrades.
