The wack jobs that the MSM select to be their "media darling of the day" never ceases to amaze me! The sole criteria for this dubious honor appears to be the willingness to loudly, repeatedly and viciously vilify President Bush!

That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:
Love

To Whom it May Concern:
Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.
[SNIP]
I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.
Not true, but Jewish has become a code word for "not-to-be-crticized", in any way, shape, or form.
Don't even come close or you will be ostracized!
Banned and shunned, preferably!
What distraction?
Al Jazeera has hit the jackpot
Not that I know of
Though he might not want to get involved with this
Whoa---an anti-semite as well....hmmmmmmmmmm
I wonder if Buchanan or Novak will interview her now!
She has a whole lot of different beefs, doesn't she????
Thanks for posting it.
Not Jewish, Israeli. I know a LOT of Jews who don't like Israel's policies.
Like a lot of those idiots, she is endangering our Troops even more as a propagandist, giving support to the enemy, energizing them to launch more attacks against our Troops.
I don't think Cindy Sheehan is being used by the Left. I think she has always been a leftist herself, and this is her chance at celebrity.
Noam Chomsky, Robert Novak, George Soros= all at least are former Jews who hate Israels policies!
I can just not get my head around that one. (And I have a couple of liberal family members who feel this way.) I guess they really do believe that it is freedom for everyone who looks like a liberal, thinks like a liberal and acts like a liberal. To them it seems, the rest of us can just pound sand.
FYI..not sure if you've seen this...
Why, because out of the 2000 soldiers that have died, 1 mother is acting like a loon?
There is an undercurrent in this "anti-war" movement of hatred for Jews and Israel.
I ask, in all honesty, what American Jew that retains their sanity, would ever vote for the "traitor/treason" , Jew hating Democrat Party again. Wake up American Jews, your support of your Democrat Party is going to cost you your heads and lives!!!
Wow. Cindy is really in with the america haters crowd at that SFSU event.
Terrorist lawyer/traitor Lynne Stewart, Palestinian flack Jess Ghannam, FREE MUMIA witch Pam Africa , Former SF Green party mayoral candidate (too left for SF!) Matt Gonzalez.
Cindy is no average mom. She's a dedicated LW moonbat.
Basically, what if she was doing this as theatre, saying "Look at me! Nonono! Look at ME! NOT over THERE!"
A lot of folks are watching her for a myriad of reasons, what news may be missed? More locally to the prez, could she pull away some of the president's protection in a rope-a-dope?
We have to give them the credit to be able to rebuild their own country--to get back on their feet again. They need the jobs. We have foreign contractors over there taking their jobs. And what does it mean “to finish the job?” What is the job? How can you “finish” imperialism? It doesn’t end--it just spreads.
Some people may think that we’re fighting terrorism over there. But when is that job ever going to be complete? Terrorism is just a new “ism.” It was “communism” when I was growing up.
Huh?
