ODONNELL: Im sure also the president did not anticipate that while he was spending a five-week vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, that he would be witnessing a mom, Cindy Sheehan, who has been camped outside his ranch now, demanding a meeting with the president, saying she wont leave until that happens.
Christopher, do you think that this representsor she represents some sort of tipping point in public opinion in America?
HITCHENS: Certainly not. She has, just today, lied about a statement that she made several times before to the effect that her son was killed in a war run by a secret Jewish cabal within the administration. She now says she didnt make that statement. She did make that statement. So as well as being an hysterical paranoid ideologist, or at least being manipulated by people who are, turned this into camp fruitbag and nutbag, she has decided not to have the courage or maybe the cowardice of her conviction. She now says she didnt make a statement that she definitely did.

I watched that...
Hitchens just ripped into her.
Was ODONNELL shell shocked when he said it?
No. Actually. She seemed to think it was kind of amuzing.
It's interesting how the media have given Sheehan a pass from the normal scrutiny directed towards public figures. If Sheehan had been some rabid conservative camped out at Clinton's summer home, the MSM would have been looking into - and publicizing - her past and present political affiliations, her financial connections, her handlers, her inconsistencies, her lying, and her numerous outrageous public comments about the president and about our country. But the MSM is pretty much looking the other way, and it's people like Hitchens and Drudge who have to raise these issues.
Hitchens needn't get so emotional. He's the only one on the tube expressing common sense on the subject of Cindy Sheehan.
LOL ... me too. I think we should start calling her 'Mother Moonbat".
Well, that's interesting.
Her and Fineman seemed to grudgingly agree with Hitchens.
They just tried to laugh it off though.
Hey champ...google is your friend. Not hard to find. He's talking off the cuff...he should come up with a quote then and there? Let's get real.
Do you smell ozone? ;^)
Hi... Cindy Sheehan, Rush Chairman,
DAMN GLAD TO MEET YOU!!!
Bu bye ....
Here's alive idiot!!!!
The direct quote isn't hard to find if you really are interested in reading it. But DU trolls like yourself will never look because that's how you approach facts. You and your DU comrades ignore facts, but serious people who care about this country and our military takie the time to learn the facts.
To do that you have to leave the moveon.org/DU/michealmoron/Al Jazzeria websites because all they are is propaganda
Some Israel references of Sheehan:
"Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."

"[My son] was killed for a neo-con agenda that only benefits a very chosen few in this world. This agenda and their war machine will chew up and spit out as many of our children as they can unless we stop them now.
We should not let Israel/USA invade Syria or Iran."

"The other thing I want him to tell me is 'just what was the noble cause Casey died for?' Was it freedom and democracy? Bull---t! He died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East. We're not freer here, thanks to your PATRIOT Act. Iraq is not free. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism,"
