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!
I guess I have to QUOTE you.
"Course then, I still don't know of any Bushs, Cheneys, or Rumsfelds over there patrolling the streets tonight either. Do you?" -In reference to soldiers in IRAQ

You just LIED 'pal'.
You're comparing THIS to Dan Rather's fake NG documents?
What evidence do you have similar to that which discredited Rather?
Trust me, I am not your pal, and don't call me pal ever again.
Then don't lie, pal.
ps
How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?
You're the only one here lying for all to see.
It's sorta sad how someone like yourself could lower yourself to this. I am sure your fans are losing faith.
Really?
Your words are tehre in black and white, linked for ALL to see.
And all anyone has to do is read your comment that there aren't any Bush's or Cheneys patrolling the streets in the context of being soldiers, and then seeing what the troll said about the Presidents daughters being in Iraq.
If you don't like it being pointed out, then don't do it.

How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?
no, you are to simple minded to see the difference.
LOL.
Really?
How about you explain how you saying the Presidents daugters should serve in Iraq is any different from the troll saying the same?
"How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?"
The ONLY people I have seen so fixated on that are from DU.
ps
How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?
And why won't you answer this simple little question? Surely you have some sort of questimate?
As I have stated for all to witness I have never during my tenure hit the abuse button. Yet you refuse to questimate?
Snitches and low lifes got blanket parties when I was active in the Marines
I doubt those folks had a chance. It's the good folks I am concerned about.
ps
How many times would you guess that you have hit the abuse button during your tenure here?
Why are you denying your own words in black and white?
Why the fixation on something that doesn't exist?
There has never been a 'kill board'.
Unless you count the stick figures I've run over, plus the odd lawn gnome or three.
It is you who is denying my own words son.
bttt
At 8 I killed and ate the evidence that I ever had parents.
At 12, I took over the Library.
And when I turned 20, I was handed a howitzer to play with.
Though, in hindsight, eating my birth certificate may have been unwise.
Son,
you can't present as argument some vague interpretation that only you are privy to. You have to present facts. Not some set of pre-conceived notions, tagging along some of your personal garbage.
Now quote me verbatim and explain your misrepresentation.
I can't even count the number of trolls that made that claim today.
3. I've been here longer than you
FR doesn't have a seniority program. Respect is earned.
5. I don't play childish games
I've read all your posts to number 135 and you are a gameplayer. You also bait other posters.
But enough about you. You aren't the subject of this thread and neither is your angst.

Well worth repeating...thank you for proving all my points
