It links over to Newsday so here is an excerpt:
CRAWFORD, Texas — For more than a year, a modest bungalow known as "Peace House," located a few miles from President Bush's ranch, has served as a headquarters for antiwar activists. It is lonely work, with little more than a skeleton crew on hand much of the time.
But then Cindy Sheehan hit town.
The 48-year-old mother of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in an ambush in Baghdad last year, is consumed by the kind of grief that turns into a furious determination to do something — in her case, to confront the president and force him to explain why her son died.
Now, in the space of just a few days, what started out as a seemingly quixotic personal mission has become something of a phenomenon — with media swarming around Sheehan, leading liberal and antiwar activists parachuting in to try to make her their long-sought voice, and political experts in both parties working to assess what role she may have in galvanizing the public's gathering unhappiness with the increasing American casualties in Iraq.
Antiwar leaders hope that putting the spotlight on Sheehan will motivate Americans who oppose the war, creating a political force strong enough to compel the Bush administration to change course.

LOL!
That little guy comes in *so* handy ...:))
He most certainly does! And I save him for special circumstances. :)
Definitely not just you.
I am part Cherokee and reserve the right to use my chosen terminology. I am sympathetic to my brother Seminoles who have agreed with the Florida State Seminoles in the use of their name. The NCAA? What is their standing in this matter? I submit, they have none.
"Hey taken, told you I'd heard trolls say the above before.
And look, here's one now repeating it!"
I know you would like to add me to your death list darksheare, but that ain't gonna happen...
1. I'm not a troll
2. I've been a registered republican since 1980 (that's probably longer than you are old)
3. I've been here longer than you
4. I'm older and wiser than you
5. I don't play childish games
So have fun and enjoy your simple minded games.
Meantime, don't ever ping me again unless you have something intelligent to offer.
thanks in advance

Just showing you that the line is used by trolls.
You DID follow the reply to link to read the post the troll made, right?
We should put him on t-shirts and send them to all the DUers as gifts....:))
Duh!!! An email address is a pretty good guarantee to the recipient!!! As you can tell by the greeting...Melanie knew where to send her message and they had been in contact more than once. Of course, Melanie wouldn't include that in sending out the message...
...get a clue!!!
I do have a question for you darksheare...since I must admit I am somewhat curious. Just how many FR kills do you have? You know, how many notches are there on your keyboard? Just how many folks whose posts you have had removed? Just how many folks have you had banned?
Tell us please. Inquiring minds want to know.
Now here is how to answer.
1. none
2. a few posts and a few bans
3. several posts and several bans
4. I just go for posts
5. I go for the jugler
I don't keep track, why are you asking?
I have heard DU'ers claiming the VK's keep track of such things.
Truthfully, it is a myth.
And what does any of that have to do with the FACT that YOU said the President's daughters should serve in Iraq,, and the troll saying the same exact thing?
You DID read the linked post, right?
"I don't keep track, why are you asking? "
Folks listen up. He doesn't keep track of how many times he has hit the abuse button.
Darksheare, do you have any idea how many times I have hit the abuse button in my years here?
I will tell you and everyone here. ZERO NONE NADA ZILCH
Why do I ask about the number of times you have hit the abuse button? Because it all goes to character.
LOL.
Thank you for showing me your *cough* character.
Now, will you be saying that the Presidents daughters should serve in Iraq again?
You drifted from the subject by the way.
Cindy Sheehan has partnered with the same people who killed her son. She is being used by the enemies of the President and in-turn the enemies of the nation.
She had very different things to say about President Bush out here in California. Yet, suddenly she has tied her political activism with her son’s death. He fought for something he believed, and gave his life. His mom is treating this American soldier like some dufus who didn’t know what was going on.
Now you know what else I am wondering? How many of them did you set up? You know, call them names, disparage them, disparage their family, until well, let's they lost it?
Then they said some things they shouldn't have said. Only now you hit the abuse button. Next thing you know, the good republican poster who has dared to disagree with you has been slandered as loser and/or a troll and banned.
I know in my heart there are some just from the short term research I have done on your career here and the manner you have treated me. There is a raging river of post removals and bans which follow you.
You should be proud of your secret service since I'm sure your victims were totally unaware of how many times you have set folks up and then hit the abuse button.
Slandered you?
Shoudl I quote your post where you said the Presidents daughters should serve in Iraq?
You MOST certainly said it.

I never drifted from the subject you liar. The subject is you. Can you handle it?
Who is lying?
I pinged you to a troll's comment saying that the Presidents daughters should serve in Iraq.
You said the same thing.

Can you handle it?
"Can you handle it? "
Indeed, I do not believe women should serve in combat nor did I ever say, "the Presidents daughters should be serving in Iraq." Cease and desist from your silly little lies, and try to make your case as an honest adult would.
ps
How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?
