Laura prolly won't see her, nor should she. I think it would be nice to see Barbara (W's mom, not his daughter) have a woman to woman talk with the clueless wonder.

We should dig up pictures of Cindy from the 1960s when she was probably a doped up, bra burning, flower child. This is not a new revelation, but a hard core communist who has finally come out of the closet after many years. It is a last harah for the geriatic hippy.

Muslim groups are now demanding that their US tax dollars not be given to Israel for the relocation of the settlers.

If Mrs. Barbara Bush were to speak with Cindy, that would be a woman-to-moonbat talk.

"No. For the same reasons that PETA doesn't protest leather jackets at biker bars."

Oh man, I'd love to see that!

Peta-Pansy "You know Mr. T-Bone, meat is murder."

T-Bone "You die now" Smash.

Peta-Pansy "Aieeeeeee!" Runs away.

Exile "Ha ha! T-Bone, can I buy you a beer?"

Wonder what old Cindy will do when the terrorists come to her city and blow it to pieces?

Wonder if she will mount her soapbox and try and embarrass them? Or, will she just mount her soapbox and blame Bush for not protecting her city?

I imagine she will be fine with having the local military protect her then, as long as it does not mean she has to do anything.

isn't "bless your heart" southern for "you're and idiot"?

Lessin, whose son recently returned from his overseas service, said the goal of both protests is to show the war in Iraq is “a reckless military misadventure that never should have happened.”

“Shame on Secretary Rumsfeld for not recognizing these families, and shame on those who sent our children to war based on lies,” she said.

Nancy Lessin and her husband Charley Richardson are co-founders of Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), an organization of people opposed to the invasion/occupation of Iraq who have relatives or loved ones in the military.

In February, 2003 Nancy and Charley were two of fifteen parents of soldiers who, along with three active military and twelve members of Congress, brought a lawsuit against George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, seeking to prevent an invasion of Iraq absent a Congressional declaration of war. MFSO has been involved in peace and anti-war activities from the neighborhood level to large, national demonstrations in Washington, D.C., New York City and in the army base town of Fayetteville, North Carolina.

MFSO members have met with Congressional representatives; written the President and local newspapers; and spoken at community organizations, union halls, high schools and universities, and at a Congressional briefing in Washington, D.C. MFSO has initiated or participated numerous press conferences, many held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. In August, 2003 MFSO joined with Veterans for Peace, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and several other organizations to launch the Bring Them Home NOW! campaign in response to George W. Bush’s comment in July 2003 to "bring 'em on!"

In September, 2004 MFSO held a press conference in Las Vegas across from the hotel where George W. Bush spoke before the National Guard Association of the United States. Seven military families with loved ones in the National Guard who were serving in Iraq or killed in Iraq spoke out about the lies that sent their loved ones to war, and the lack of equipment, training and supplies these soldiers experienced in Iraq.

In September, 2004 MFSO was awarded the 2004 Latelier-Moffit Memorial Human Rights Award by the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. In May, 2005 Nancy Lessin was awarded the WAND (Women’s Action for New Directions) Mother’s Peace Day Award in Boston, Massachusetts.

Most recently, MFSO has been assisting member families from across the country get to Crawford, Texas to join Military Families Speak Out member and co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace Cindy Sheehan as she waits in an encampment named “Camp Casey” near President Bush’s ranch for the President to meet with and listen to her.

Nancy Lessin is Health and Safety Coordinator for the Massachusetts AFL-CIO and is a member of United Steelworkers Local 9358. She has worked in the field of job health and safety for over 25 years. Nancy Lessin and Charley Richardson live in Boston, Massachusetts; they have four children who range in age from 24 to 27.

Don't think so...She really wasn't old enough to be a 60's flower child...The closest she probably came to a 60's protest march was watchin it on TV..In 69 she would have only been 12 or so..

Nancy Lessin is running the "GET BUSH!" campaign which is now including Cindy Sheehan.

from Military Families Speak Out

Dear Military Families,

There continues to be mounting evidence that the war in Iraq was based on lies -- most recently the so-called "Downing Street Memo" was written about in the press in the UK -- and finally made its way into the press in the U.S.

To find out more about this memo, go to www.downingstreetmemo.com/ and www.afterdowningstreet.org/. There are many actions and activities to get involved in, including signing a letter to President Bush that Michigan Congressman John Conyers will be delivering to him on Thursday, June 16. This letter requests that the President answer very specific questions about the evidence used in the build-up to the war.

Cindy Sheehan, co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace and member of Military Families Speak Out will be testifying at a Congressional hearing on June 16th regarding the Downing Street Memo; she and other Gold Star Families for Peace members, as well as Stephen Cleghorn from Military Families Speak Out, will be accompanying Congressman Conyers when he delivers the letter to the White House on June 16th.

Our voices as military families are more powerful than ever -- we hope they become louder and stronger in the days and weeks ahead!

In Peace and Solidarity,
Nancy Lessin and Charley Richardson

Don't take any documnets from Cindy!! She'll present a lsit of questions/issues that will allow the leaders of the anri-American, neocommunist organizations using her as a front to claim unlimited and biased access to the President. We would forever hear "The President, who promised to respond to questions regarding future tsunami response times in black counties, has failed to do so and has lied again."

Such lists of demands almost always sets up a "monitoring committee" which allows the organization to tie up the other side's resources and managers at their whim. Since Cindy's sponsors are using her and have no need for ethical or honest behavior, there is nothing they can/will offer and nothing they promise that they can be trusted to deliver. Their only purposes are to make W look bad, harm the US, and enrich themselves.

lmbo!

If Mrs. Barbara Bush were to speak with Cindy, that would be a woman-to-moonbat talk.

If you wanna get technical about it, I think it would be woman to mincemeat.

[BillT]

Amen to that!

[silverleaf]

Thanks for the informative post!

BTW- my favorite part is where "He is trampling out the village where the Great Giraffe is stored..." :-)

Personally, I'd like to see the brain-sucking leeches come into action. Maybe they could be number 6, after "release the bees".

"Personally, I'd like to see the brain-sucking leeches come into action."

Brain-Sucking leeches on hippy traitors? Poor things would starve.

[RedRover]

True, but it'd be funny to watch!

"4. Deck em."

Very funny!
