Cindy Sheehan: America "a country that always supports war and killing."
NY Sun ^ | 8/17/05 | Josh Gerstein

Posted on 08/17/2005 12:09:02 PM PDT by LarryDeRobio

While claiming to be trying to re-focus her protest back on her demand for another meeting with Bush, expressing a desire to get away from the distractions of her other views, and suggesting that the left-wing groups assisting her move to the sidelines, she was at it again in a conference call with reporters managed by MoveOn.

If only the Bush administration would use the IRS like Clinton's did many of these groups would lose their tax-exempt status for blatant violations of the tax code.

NO President should use the IRS as a political tool. I'd prefer that we not fall into some 3rd world mentality of the current administration using the tools of the govt bureaucracy against political enemies.

"NO President should use the IRS as a political tool. I'd prefer that we not fall into some 3rd world mentality of the current administration using the tools of the govt bureaucracy against political enemies."

Right. We should continue to allow George Soros to write off millions in "charitable" contributions to groups whose only goal is to bring down the president. They all have non-exempt political action subsidiaries anyway, and how is enforcing the tax code "3rd world"?

I think the administration should help her grief by sending her on a bar-hopping tour in Arruba.

I see no difference between sheehan's ranting and NARAL's slanderous ad against Judge Roberts.

CNN is enabling these destructive forces to use their airwaves.

America "a country that always supports war and killing."

OK.... well I might have to Agree, I support this war, and when America is fighting a war, I support the idea of killing the enemy. What else are we supposed to do with them?

Fight them with what?!?! SPITBALLS?!?!? -Senator Zell Miller 2004

In her world there are no enemies but us:

"When I was growing up, it was Communists'. Now it's Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything." Sheehan's speech to the Veterans for Peace

During the hour-long conference call, Ms. Sheehan referred to America as "a country that always supports war and killing." She also suggested that the war in Iraq is part of an American effort to achieve dominance in the region. "This is going to be an eternal war of imperialism fought in the Middle East," she said.

Hey Cindy .. You mean like how we fought in WWII and saved the Jews from being murdered and gassed ?????

KEEP TALKING CINDY ..

Oh BTW ... HEY CINDY .. Are ya brining your Buddy Lynne Stewart to the Anti War Rally in DC on 9/24 ???

Oh wait .. she won't be able to come .. she has other things to deal with ..

Something about carrying secrets messages from her terrorist client to his followers

.

Oh and this is VERT Telling ...

Personnel from MoveOn.org managed the questioning on the conference call. Some news outlets, such as the liberal Salon.com, were allowed to put two or more questions to Ms. Sheehan, while other organizations were not permitted to ask questions at all.

How DARE Anyone ask "Mother" Sheehan any important questions

"Ms. Sheehan described herself as a Democrat and a liberal but said she does not view her protest as political.


Oh really??
No, not political at all....except that:

and she then pretends that all she wants in this whole world is a chance to speak with President Bush about her son, Casey, when in fact


she just keeps trying to sell her deceitfully vile charade!!!


"I really think it's despicable, the right-wing attacks against me," Ms. Sheehan said.
"They scrutinized everything I've ever said or ever done, but they won't scrutinize George Bush."

She must have been very disappointed in her son while he was alive. She cannot remember him as he was, but as she wished him to be, which he wasn't.

A Teachable Moment


A local insurgent attacked a settlement near Crawford, Texas, yesterday, Reuters reports:

Some 800 white wooden crosses, bearing the names of soldiers killed in Iraq like her son, have lined the road near the area where [Cindy] Sheehan has pitched a tent. Witnesses said they saw a truck dragging a pipe and chains drive over some of the crosses on Monday night.

Larry Northern, 46, of nearby Waco, Texas, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief in connection with the incident, Crawford Police Chief Donnie Tidmore said.

Now, we have no truck with mischievous criminals, but at the same time it's important to understand what motivates people to do things like this. After all, one man's vandal is another's freedom-fighter. The Sheehanoids should be asking: Why do they hate us?

Think about it: If outside settlers were occupying your land, demonizing your leaders and slandering your country, wouldn't you have feelings of rage and hopelessness? Again, we're not condoning what Larry Northern allegedly did. Our point is that only by understanding what drove him to this desperate act can we put an end to the cycle of recrimination.

Cindy Sheehan has fallen into the deep end. And she's also swimming with the sharks (i.e., the Sorosite international-fascist "MoveOn", which poses as a "grass-roots" organization).

WON'T SOMEONE THROW HER A ROPE?

I believe she is gaining speed on the down side of the 15 minutes of fame arc.

Surprise, Surprise. Nobody in the MSM has mentioned any of her views.

Yeah but they're all over the net! ;)
