" ROTFLMAO! You are bad!" Of course, in a good way. Adjusts halo.

	"You are quoting facts which is a waste of time with Liberals. They don't pay any attention to them if they contradict their fantasies." That has been my ultimate frustration since 1999 when I discovered political forums. I'm in my mid 50s, successful businessman and darn sure NOT naive. However, I have been astonished at how many that I previously thought were respectable people, can lie through their teeth and use plausible deniability (better known as "that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!"). It's like my kids years ago when I would complain about their room being a mess, and they would tell me "a man came in through the window and messed it up!" (re:  Bill Cosby)  I'm having a hard time explaining to my children and grandchildren that logic, facts and common sense are no longer in vogue.

As I posted on another thread. From the article:

TrueMajority -- an antiwar group founded by Ben Cohen, one of the creators of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -- hired Fenton Communications, a Washington public relations firm that has worked intermittently with Sheehan over the past year to coordinate media coverage.

With this help, Sheehan has courted coverage from the traveling White House press corps with a news conference. A schedule of when relatives of other military casualties in Iraq are expected to join Sheehan here was distributed to reporters. Her team is coordinating an antiwar rally planned for Saturday."

Poor grieving mother my a$$. She has a public relations firm.....Just Damn

Cindy Sheehan's Apologist Allies

I see in the Washington Post that Cindy Sheehan is using the same PR agency the Nicaraguan Sandinistas used.

Perhaps understandably, Fenton Communications doesn't brag about its work promoting Nicaragua's pro-Castro, anti-U.S. communist government. At least, not on its website.

For those who don't remember the Sandinistas, here are remarks by then-President Ronald Reagan about the Sandinistas' torture of dissidents, their pro-Soviet military activities, their personal financial corruption and more. Read it while remembering that Fenton Communications stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sandinistas, and now Cindy Sheehan stands with them.
