"This country is not worth dying for."

PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON ASAP!
- good - accurate links & honest sources -

FReeper Phil Dragoo - from NM - emailed me a Font Page Mag article
linking Cindy Sheehan to convicted NYC defense attorney for Al Qaeda - Lynn Stewart & convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Cindy Sheehan's husband has left her over her anti-American activities - and all of her family has joined in a letter decrying her activities and comments to the media.
Cindy Sheenan told MSNBC TV host Keith Obermann that she prefers that President GW Bush does not meet or talk with her now - as she feels it would ruin her Crawford, Texas showboating.......
!!!!!
Here's the live exchange on MSNBC :
KEITH OLBERMANN: "The nature of the media coverage you're getting
now, the response from other families of soldiers killed in Iraq, all of that, from the perspective of your protest there, in a way, isn't it
really better if President Bush doesn't meet with you?"
CINDY SHEEHAN: "I would think so, yes. I think it's great.
-- And if he would come out right now, it would really defuse the
momentum, and I don't want to give them any hints. --
And I think that's something they've probably already thought about.
But, you know, but we're here. We're committed. We're staying the
whole month of August, and then we're moving to Washington, D.C.
And we're going to have a 24-hour vigil on his front lawn to keep the pressure on.
The pressure is there. Sixty-two percent of Americans want our troops home. And this is giving them a voice to stand up and be counted and say, You know, we want our country back, and we want our troops home."
?????
"....diffuse the momentum?"
?????
So, it was really never about a "second meeting", right?
Never really about grief, correct?
There are more families out there
that have lost loved ones, and they do not share the leftist, "antiwar" politics of communists like Michael Moore, Medea Benjamin and Code Pink and communist fronts like the Fenton Communications, Tides Foundation, and George Soros, etc.
They also don't have the luxury to camp out for an entire month in Texas because most of them do something that the majority of professional protesters never do: They work.
They hold down jobs.
Ahaaaaaaa! :

A Texas radio talk show host has now been getting death threats from Cindy Sheehan's "supporters" - but has set up counter-protests around
Sheehan's crazy Muslims, La Raza, MoveOn.org, A.N.S.W.E.R., ACLU, CPUSA traitors -
EXCERPT FROM "FPM" ARTICLE :
--(URL link to full article at end of page)--
-- Cindy Sheehan followed this act.
-- Wearing a sweatshirt advertising the website for United for Peace and Justice, (confessed Communist group) Sheehan was interviewed outside just before the meeting by an ABC-TV news reporter. Sheehan said then that military recruiters should not be allowed on college campuses, maintaining they trick naïve 18-year-olds with offers of money and scholarships.
Tragically, Cindy Sheehan lost her son Casey who was in the Army and was killed two weeks after arriving in Iraq.
She claimed he was promised a job as a chaplain's assistant although once in the service was placed in a combat role and killed, certainly a moving story - one she exploits to promote venomous anti-Americanism.
"George Bush and his neo-conservatives killed my son," she said tearing up a bit.
"America has been killing people on this continent since it was
started." (in 1776?)
"This country is not worth dying for."
-- Cindy Sheehan
Sheehan said she considered Lynne Stewart (the WTC-1993 Al Qaeda defense attorney - now convicted of passing on terrorist acttack orders to OBL & others) her Atticus Finch, the lawyer who defended an innocent Black man accused of rape in the book and film "To Kill A Mockingbird."
"They're not waging a War on Terror but a War of Terror," she said.
"The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush." She claimed "it costs $66,000 to recruit one soldier, not including training, and $49,000 a year to house a prisoner, yet only $6,000 per year is spent to educate a child in California.
-- (Recruiting costs are actually $15,000 per soldier, the cost of
housing a prisoner in California for one year is $26,000.)
-- Sheehan continued, "9/11 was Pearl Harbor for the neo-conservatives'
agenda" and declared the U.S. government a "morally repugnant system."
Then she raged:
"We have no Constitution."
"We're the only country with no checks and balances."
"We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington!"
"Let George Bush send his two little party animals to die in Iraq. It's OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but we are waging nuclear war in Iraq, we have contaminated the entire country."
"It's not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. Hypocrites! But Israel can occupy Palestine? Stop the slaughter!"
(Anti-Israel & Anti-Semite - Pro-Islamic)
-- While one might dismiss some of Sheehan's hyperbole due to grief over her son's death, a little research about Casey Sheehan revealed that
contrary to being tricked by military recruiters, Casey Sheehan had re-enlisted in the U.S. Army voluntarily when he was 24-years-old, after serving his first hitch successfully.
-- Casey Sheehan was in fact a hero who received a Bronze Star.
-- He was attached as a mechanic to the artillery division of the 1st U.S. Cavalry in Iraq. When a convoy of soldiers from Casey's unit was attacked in Sadr City by insurgents, Casey volunteered to join a rapid rescue force to get them out.
-- His commanding sergeant told him he did not have to go into combat, because he was a mechanic and not an infantryman.
-- Casey was quoted telling his officer, "I go where my chief goes." He
was tragically killed during the rescue attempt.
-- *The source for this story? Cindy Sheehan herself. !!!!!!!
I also visited an army recruiting office on my way home and asked about Casey being promised a job as a chaplain's assistant only to be thrust into harm's way.
The recruiter explained to me that on re-enlistment, the Army's B.E.A.R. program (Bonus Extension and Retaining) guarantees everything in writing. If Casey was a mechanic during his first hitch, that was the only thing he would have been guaranteed per his re-enlistment contract.
Further research showed that a chaplain's assistant is a combat infantry position, whereas Casey was deployed in a non-combat job as a mechanic.
Casey Sheehan sought combat duty for his country and should be honored for it, not used as a symbol of how evil the United States is.
The final warm up before Stewart spoke was handled by Jess Mackler from The Defense of Mumia Abu-Jamal Movement.
He said, "The Supreme Court has decided that innocence is no defense.
Lynne Stewart is charged with conspiring to aid and abet a conspiracy to commit terrorist attacks against unnamed people at unknown places in foreign countries. She didn't harm anyone is any way."
He also said that Omar Abdel Rahman was an "innocent man," despite incontrovertible proof of his complicity in the 1993 bombings at the World Trade Center. Mackler called the prosecution of Stewart "the new McCarthyism promoted by the U.S. government" and concluded,
"You wonderful people in the ISO will be the best defenders of Lynne and Mumia. We have to make the price of corruption too high to pay."
Finally, Lynne Stewart rose to speak.
A roly-poly grandmother, Stewart
doesn't look the part of a revolutionary and friend to terrorists.
But just as her appearance was deceiving, so was her discussion about her case.
Stewart maintained all she did was disseminate some press releases
relating to Abdel Rahman, which she claimed was her duty to protect her client. She was neither remorseful nor even willing to admit she made a mistake.
What she didn't say was that Abdel Rahman, being a well-known cleric and having contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (he was involved in the assassination of Anwar Sadat), was using Lynne Stewart to pass
messages to tell his terrorist followers he did not support a ceasefire with Egypt - the very reason the Blind Sheikh was being held incommunicado. He had already refused treatment for his diabetes in prison to inspire militant Islamists overseas to take action to release him before he died.
(Stewart claimed the government "refused" him medication.)
Nonetheless, she compared what she did with asking for a pair of glasses for a client who is under arrest and cannot read the charges against him or her.
She also never mentioned that the government had not just a few, but
hundreds of recordings of her in which she discussed with Abdel Rahman how to rally his followers to return to violence, and a major turning point in her case was when the prosecution played a tape of Osama Bin Laden (Al Qaeda) and his aides discussing the need to "spill blood in the fields of jihad unless Abdel Rahman was released."
Over the years, she advocated violence openly at private meetings of radical groups such as Worker'sWorld Party and the Spartacist League.
(Communists!!!!!)
Her slipup was allowing herself to be quoted advocating violence in
their newspapers such as the Worker's Vanguard over several years, all of which was used as evidence against her. She was also taped at later radical leftist meetings telling people that what was getting her convicted was the fact that these groups were writing down what she
said.
But Stewart's final denouement came on the witness stand when her
attorney, Michael Tigar, asked her if she knew Abdel Rahman was writing out fatwas to kill Jews and her reply was that yes, she could not deny this to him because the Blind Sheik said that killing Jews was a good thing.
She and Tigar thought the jury would buy their revolutionary zeal as much as the radical types in the ISO at San Francisco State would.
The jury didn't buy it. Only the academic elite believe her.
