This summer is reminding me more and more of the Summer of 2001.

The MSM is just walking further and further out on the plank. The MSM still is failing to deal with the reality of the New Media. This woman clearly has an agenda and is clearly changing her story.

The president met with her family two months after Casey's death. Capturing W.'s awkwardness in traversing the line between somber and joking, and his love of generic labels, Ms. Sheehan said that W. had referred to her as "Mom" throughout the meeting, and given her the sense that he did not know who her son was.

Cindy Sheehan is a fraud who can't get her story straight

I understand there were other families that were at this meeting and witnessed the exchange between Cindy and the President

"Too hot to "handle?" "This lady doesn't seem like someone who will be handled by sweet talk, [b]platitudes or deception[b]," he said."


Maybe because this is what she engages in herself?

John Carlson (570 KVI-AM - Seattle) had the brother of a soldier who died on his show yesterday. The brother was at the same Bush meeting as Sheehan and completely refuted her claims, saying Bush was quiet...meeting with each family individually...and very caring...embracing the family members and tearing up at their stories.

And SHAME on the MSM for IGNORING these families

They are helping and aiding Cindy in pushing her lies

Naturally the MSM is in bed with Cindy Sheehan. They're all a bunch of barking moonbats.

Is this woman deliberately trying to trash her son's memory, or is she just real stupid?

What do you expect from the MSM? They don't report the massive voter fraud and intimidation implemented by DEMOCRATS. They won't say much about "Scare America", even though that lousy excuse for radio STOLE money from old people and children (doncha know only Republicans do that?), but by GOD they'll stand by a liar who might make Dubya look bad. These people are beyond pathetic. Where's my thesaurus?

Over at DU it's All Cindy All the Time. Not a peep about the Able Danger story. Imagine that?

The MSM facilitates the Democrat/Liberal tactic of saying one thing and then changing their story when it fits their purposes. When the original truth is exposed, they yell that they're being smeared. John Kerry tried that during the campaign. The simple matter of pointing out his lack of an effective Senate record was deemed a "smear campaign" by the MSM. They're doing that here, also. The other families who were there when President Bush first met Sheehan and are refuting her claims now are going to be labelled the Swiftboat Families, or something equally as vicious.

So the P.I. is devoting three separate pieces in one day to this story. Surprise! Reminds me of Eugene McCarthy's comment about the media: "The media are like a flock of birds sitting on a telephone wire. They sit and sit, and then - when one flies off - all the others follow."

I don't presume to speak for her son, but if it were me, I'd be thinking "Mom, can you please be quiet? I'm proud of what I'm doing."
