***....Enter Move America Forward that will have a caravan to Crawford, Texas that will traverse California then head out to the Lone Star State. The convoy will star a mother proud of her son and his service, Deborah Johns of California Marine Moms, and will begin near San Francisco and culminate with a “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission” rally on Saturday August 27, 2005 at 1:00PM in Crawford, Texas. We’ll see if the media covers the rally the way they’ve been covering the mother of one veteran and a few dozen of her closest new friends that just happen to belong to some of the most radical groups in the country. ...***

Norah O'Donnell was substituting on 'Spitball' for Chris Matthews last night. Pat Buchanan was a guest with Sen. Breaux. The Sheehan matter was one of the subjects.

Eventully Pat predicted rather vehemently and with not a little joy that some Democrat is going to break with the Hillary Clintons of the party and join this "Sheehan Charade" (my phrase) and run as an anti-war candidate for president as did George McGovern or Eugene McCarthy back in '68. Buchanan was serious, and he acted like he felt it was nearly a certainty.

He seemed to really be enjoying the discomfort this is causing G.W. and the Republicans. It was a little gross.

This is a pretty good explanation of the media's behavior. They thrive on conflict and head to head battles. This is why they provided pretty good imbed coverage during the initial battles, but have gone way negative trying to find the bad news in the occupation.

I'm convinced that the only reason there aren't more people on our side at the demonstrations is that we have jobs.

Won't somebody, for the love of God, please give that woman some lithium?

It's just sad.

Cindy Sheehan is currently The Worlds Biggest Terrorist because she is attempting to destroy our will to protect ourselves and is demanding we leave Iraq so the Terrorists can run it like they used to do Afghanistan and thereby she is creating the ground work for the next 9/11 or most likely worse.

Thanks. Great post.

And, with nearly every story about Cindy, the lamebrains will fit in Dubya's low poll numbers as if the war is universally unpopular. I have news for the lefties and their cohorts: George W. Bush does not only ignore your non-stop harping, carping, and continually trying to redefine what he is about, today, but he will be ignoring you tomorrow, as well . The man has a job to do, and he will do it in spite of your efforts to undercut him, he does not care one whit about poll numbers, and it is his candor and honesty that you misunderstand the most about him.

Get used to it. No amount of bad-faith criticism will deter him from his mission to protect even the sorry asses of those enemies within that would destroy all of us. Now, if he would only do something about the border problem....

In a brilliant, though immediately forgotten comment, Brad Crason, who lost the 2004 OK senate race to Tom Coburn, said, in a post-election round table, that he believes that "the Dem party will NOT win a national election until the the last Vietnam-era Dem/leftie is dead."

Cindy is using her son's coffin as a soap box for her 15 minutes of fame.

[CedarDave]

The media covers the siege in Crawford with almost as much vigor as the war itself or if thousands of people were standing in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan instead of maybe a hundred. Nobody makes any effort to find out if the people being counted are there to protest Cindy Sheehan and the radicals that came to support her (there have been many arguments caught by cameras and radio stations) or if they are part of a counter protest. The only coverage that matters is Cindy Sheehan and her waiting game for divorce papers to be served and, perhaps, tea with President Bush.

[snowsislander]

Yes, the MSM have found Cindy Sheehan, who despite being clearly a fringe character, meets their overwhelming need to conjure up an antiwar movement.

PLEASE, one of my fellow vets, step up and give this rotten POS skank a tobacco facial just like the one Jane Fonda got. This POS is giving aid and comfort to the enemy with the help of the liberal media.

Love,

"mainstream media that is reporting the news and deciding what to lead with has been wishing for a backlash to the war on terrorism for a long time, but it is just not happening".

MSM is creating a ground swell Support for The Troops that America has not seen since WWII. MSM keep up the good work the more unfairly they treat our troops the more mobilized we get.

In the words of Ward Churchill. "Blow Back".
