* TREVOR FITZGIBBON, trevor@fenton.com, www.moveon.org
Fitzgibbon is a contact person for a campaign being launched today by MoveOn.org and the national coalition Win Without War to censure President George W. Bush for misleading the American people in the lead-up to the war in Iraq. This afternoon a news conference at the National Press Club included a father of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq.
I am an anchor on (local) television. Yes, we have alternative media, but face it, the mainstream media still gets more viewers/readers than "conservative media". This episode, on the whole is hurting Bush and the military. It's fun to run to our computers and click on DRUDGE or FREEREPUBLIC, but DRUDGE's 8 million doesn't match the 35 million who watch ABC, NBC, and CBS in the evening. One woman, whether sincere, publicity-seeking or a little crazy is a major continuing story on all 3 major networks. They'll never put Casey's grandparents or aunts or cousins on TV. They're BIASED, remember. They are not "fair". Conservatives are too polite to realize that we have to FIGHT events like this. You know what we need...we need 20, 50, maybe 100 mothers of soldiers KIA to come to Crawford and confront Cindy and the media and support Bush and our soldiers! That's what we need! There are virtually NO stories about the soldiers or their efforts or the rebuilding of the infrastruction or that almost all the suicide bombers are from outside Iraq. NONE!!! It's Cindy! Our message isn't getting out to all the masses. So Bush's poll numbers drop and we have squishy Republicans who teeter & wobble. Yeah, I'm very sad about Casey...but dammit...Casey would cringe to see his mother out there in ca-hoots with Michael Moore, moveon.org and the rest of the angry left who seek to the values that he fought for! These people need to be totally discredited and defeated, and that includes Cindy Sheehan.
