Another anti-war mom has surfaced from the same group that has introduced the world to Cindy Sheehan, and while many are clamoring for the President to meet with these protesters, we will expose who is behind this campaign in the first hour of the Radio Factor, along with what their real motives are.
Oreilly won't do squat with this woman. Last night he was falling all over himself to excuse her and be nice, heck even Michelle Malkin was using kid-gloves. He will let her come on and say what she wants, he will bring up her past remarks and let her spin her way out of it.
I'm sure Code-Pinko is responsible for writing a majority of her "blog" too.
"How do you know he would not be seriously angry with his mother for the way she is exploiting HIS sacrifice?"
How do you know HE would feel that way?
Colds are caused by viruses not rain. Cindy is even lying about that.
You are right!
I find it amazing that this woman is hanging out with Michael Moore and the other left wing nut jobs who have actually praised the terrorists in Iraq has freedom fighters, she is hanging with the people who support the terrorists that killed her son.
I have not forgotten about her loss. It's precisely why she should not be lying about her meeting with the President, why she's changed her story, and who is bankrolling her.
It will be Swift Boat Vets revisited. It's already been reported that she is using her son's SGLI payment to pay for her trips. All she has to do is repeat that, and Bill will get all mushy about her.
Yes it's a guess, but it's a educated guess --given his heroic service to our country-- that he would not agree with her.
She's blogging on Moore's site also??
I think reporting the fraud of these people is much more important than sitting in Aruba reporting nothing new for months.
You got that right
Or, she will show up with a handler (Commissar).
That's a very early morning .. and only 3 more weeks to the month of august is over *L*
What is this idiot going to do when Bush goes back to the White House? Follow him there? Isn't that considered stalking?
Camp Casey....good grief!....everytime I read/listen to her I feel like I'm losing a few brain cells....I can't afford to keep this up much longer...LOL
She is ignoring her other children ... she has no friends and her husband left her
Soooooo my guess is Yep
Hey ... she can join that other crack pot lady that has been camped out in front of the WH for years
Cindy Sheehan called Bill O'Reilly an Abomination
I rush transcribed this: ( blogcall with Cindy )
Last night Bill O'Reilly said Cindy was appearing on his show tonight. I asked her today is she was going on with Bill to talk about her situation. At first she said that she thought she would, but after hearing what O'Reilly said about her she told the show she would go on only if he apologized for lying about her. She then said she "will not dignify" his show by going on now and called him an Abomination.
Dave Johnson asked her what she would ask the President if she does meet with her. She said she'll ask the President what the noble cause is for the U.S. going to war. "Does he encourage his daughters to enlist?"
Peter Daou talked about how the media is still making Natalie Hollaway the lead story in the news. She said that she fells the Holloway's pain, but also said that MSNBC cancelled two interviews with her yesterday....
Someone needs to direct Bill to this from last year!

Bush, Sheehans share moments
By David Henson/Staff Writer
Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville.
Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.
"That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal."
But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.
Surreal soon seemed like an understatement, as the Sheehans - one of 17 families who met Thursday with Bush - were whisked in a matter of days to the Army post and given the VIP treatment from the military. But as their meeting with the president approached, the family was faced with a dilemma as to what to say when faced with Casey's commander-in-chief.
"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."
The 10 minutes of face time with the president could have given the family a chance to vent their frustrations or ask Bush some of the difficult questions they have been asking themselves, such as whether Casey's sacrifice would make the world a safer place.
But in the end, the family decided against such talk, deferring to how they believed Casey would have wanted them to act. In addition, Pat noted that Bush wasn't stumping for votes or trying to gain a political edge for the upcoming election.
"We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us," Pat said.
Sincerity was something Cindy had hoped to find in the meeting. Shortly after Casey died, Bush sent the family a form letter expressing his condolences, and Cindy said she felt it was an impersonal gesture.
"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.
While meeting with Bush, as well as Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was an honor, it was almost a tangent benefit of the trip. The Sheehans said they enjoyed meeting the other families of fallen soldiers, sharing stories, contact information, grief and support.
For some, grief was still visceral and raw, while for others it had melted into the background of their lives, the pain as common as breathing. Cindy said she saw her reflection in the troubled eyes of each.
"It's hard to lose a son," she said. "But we (all) lost a son in the Iraqi war."
The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
"That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together," Cindy said.
