The Sheehan Spectacle

The American Spectator ^ | 08/16/05 | George Neumayr

[bubman]

A good illustration of the collusion between axe-grinding victims and the cynical media that exploit them appeared after one of last year's presidential debates: a placard was crassly put up in "spin alley" to direct reporters to "9-11 widows" who were eager to provide them with quotes disparaging George Bush for not making the right noises during the debate.

Cindy Sheehan and the media's manipulative use of her brings this episode back to mind. We're witnessing a replay of the media's cynical catering to the 9-11 widows, dubbed the "Jersey Girls," which began with great interest but then trailed off in proportion to the media's embarrassment about their wildly imprecise and boring charges. The media, thrilled to have something to work with during the dog days of August, will soon lose interest in Sheehan too.

Sheehan, too, may find herself, as Breitwester did, standing forlornly beneath a placard announcing her grief and loss, hoping that some reporter will stop and give her the jolt of celebrity that substitutes in a twisted culture for the comfort of real compassion.

Outstanding comment.

[upchuck]

Cindy's 15 minutes of fame is right about at the 13 minute mark. Soon she'll be asking herself, "Can I spell 'irrelevant'?"

[Nazarene]

Cindy Who?

[syriacus]

Cindy's only way out of this mess she's created is
...an extended stay in a hospital for "exhaustion."

[ArtyFO]

I thought those liberal bastards didn't like crosses and other religious symbols erected on public property. I know a ditch is still public property. The guy was just trying to comply with the constitution when he mowed down those monument crosses in the ditch along the road.

[the-red-dot]

There is are a few questions I want to find the answers to.
Who is paying her bills?
Exactly who is egging her on?
Who is victimizing for their own political gain?

[FlipWilson]

This guy hits it on the head. The MSM selectively picks their grieving activistis such that those activists are held out as representing a point of view of all persons similarly situated. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of the 9/11 families did not share the Joisey Bimbo's views nor do most Iraq families share Cindy Moonbat's views (including, evidently Cindy Moonbat's family and, quite possibly, even her husband).

"The MSM selectively picks their grieving activistis such that those activists are held out as representing a point of view of all persons similarly situated."

In other words, the Leftist maggots are all about demoralizing the country so their terrorist pals can win.

[Ramius]

Code Pink.

I'm not sure, but I think that answers all of your questions.

[upchuck]

Cindy Who?

Aww, now, you're spoiling all her fun.

IMHO, we should let her figure out she's about to be treated like a used Kleenex.

[birbear]

oh look... another Cindy thread...

Oh by all means, let's keep her name at the top of FR.


I know, I know... by me posting this the thread goes back at the top... but I betcha there are another 10 or threads in the top 50 about the lovely, and gracious Ms. Sheehan.

To All the FReepers who wish they could have been in Crawford
to support President Bush and the Troops.

You do not have to be in Texas to show support for the Troops.

Visit your local military base today and at least once a week.

Or a military or veteran hospital.

If you can't do that then send an e-mail or packeage
to our troops for morale support.

Proud Patriots -
Sending care packages,
e-mails, and snail mail
to US Military worldwide.

http://www.proudpatriots.org

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

I'll bet Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane are supplying funds and
morale support for the left.

We need to make an example of these 2 traitors from the 60's.

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

Spineless US Senate would rather protect Hanoi Kerry
than deal with the anti war crowd.

It's time to support our troops and ignore the jelly fish in the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.

We will soon see Cindy say, "yesterday I couldn't spell 'irrelevant moonbat.' Today-I-are-one."

[Earthdweller]

Even if she is a willing participant, the MSM is killing her and her family for the left wing agenda ..what stinking scum.

Moveon.org. The same people that hired the PR firm to stage manage her "PROTEST" 17 months after his death in combat. They honestly think this will spark a vast anti-Bush protest movement. What morons.
