The warmongers will stop at nothing. If you hear these lies, please be forearmed with the truth: (This from the website of Rep. John Conyers:

Rebutting the Lies of the Right Wing Smear Campaign
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are plenty of lies being spread about Cindy. Here’s a little help sorting through the fiction. Feel free to cut-and-paste and share these with others.
Cindy is a being manipulated by liberal activist groups.
Cindy went to Crawford on a moment’s notice without discussing or coordinating her plans with any organization. She was accompanied to Crawford by a handful of dear friends. Cindy is a compelling and sympathetic figure who has attracted a lot of support from a wide range of people. She has struck a chord with the American public who have been waiting for a voice like hers seeking the truth. It is callous to dismiss the Camp Casey visitors as opportunistic activists – many of them are grieving parents drawn to Cindy and her message as a means to work through the tremendous loss their families have suffered. Cindy has asked that the new camp be restricted to military families and those who have lost loved ones. (It is helpful to mention by name some of the grieving parents – Bill Mitchell, Nadia McCaffery, Michelle DeFord, Lynn Bradach, Mary Ann MacCombie)
Cindy previously praised Bush, but has now changed her story to embarrass the president.
The Vacaville Reporter, Cindy’s hometown paper, rejected this Republican claim originating from Matt Drudge. Here is a quote from the original article dated June 24, 2004: "We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."
Here is the article addressing the Republican misrepresentations of Cindy’s statements.

And here is the full text of the original June 24, 2004 article.

Bush is the president. He’s got important duties to attend to. He doesn't have time to meet with everyone.
The president has been filmed bicycling around the neighborhood and he has personally attested to spending time fishing and attending little league baseball games. The president has no official events planned for this week. Keep in mind, also, that White House press secretary Scott McClellan recently proclaimed about the president's vacation in Crawford, that "Spending time outside Washington gives the president a fresh perspective of what's on the minds of the American people. It's a time, really, for him to shed the coat and tie and meet with folks out in the heartland and hear what's on their minds." Possibly, you may have to actually talk to people to find out what's on their mind.
Cindy is dishonoring her son and those who are serving in this war.
Sheehan: "To me it's so ironic that I'm accused of dishonoring my son's memory, by doing what I'm doing, by the other side, and then somebody comes and does this [runs over the crosses planted to honor the Iraq war dead]."
In Cindy’s Own Words (Huffington Post):
The Divorce
My divorce was in the works way before I came out to Crawford. My husband filed the papers before this all started. It just recorded last Friday. My husband didn't know that it would become public record, and public knowledge. He had told his lawyer not to serve me with the paperwork or even bother me while I was at Camp Casey. He was trying to do the right thing. He didn't want me to find out.
Anti-Semitism
The lie that I had said that Casey died for Israel. I never said that, I never wrote that. I had supposedly said it in a letter that I wrote to Ted Koppel's producer in March. I wrote the letter because I was upset at the way Ted treated me when I appeared at a Nightline Town Hall meeting in January right after the inauguration. I felt that Ted had totally disrespected me. I wrote the letter to Ted Bettag and cc'd a copy to the person who gave me Ted's address. I believe he changed the email and sent it out to capitalize on my new found notoriety by promoting his own agenda.
This woman could not tell the truth about what she had for breakfast.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Well, there are two possibilities...
Either Cindy Sheehan is being manipulated by activist groups, or she isn't.
Either way, what she has been saying proves that manipulated or independent, she's still a lying idiot.
Another lie.
Cindy's lie, that is.
Let it boil...
The more the far left fans the flames the more ground they lose. First the House, the majority of Governors, the Presidency, the Senate, soon the Supreme Court. Great strategists these libs, short memories, no future vision, no depth to problem solving. Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la live for today...
Cut and run Cindy because mom is ill, now thats deep commitment and conviction.
Nice to see the traitors helping each other out. Conyers is beneath contempt.
Oh my! Looks like somebody's trying to do some damage control. LOL! Cindy Sheehan lies like a prayer rug. She's been dismissed and she's too dumb to know it... yet.
"Can't stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen"
For all of the things that I do fault her for, this isn't one of them.
I would say it's time to dump your liberal "friends".
I'm glad Cindy is fessing up. Her shameless smear campaign against President Bush, the USA, and our military has got to stop.
She should put a sock in it. I wonder how her son would feel knowing his mother is out there whoring herself in his memory.
It's really too bad these types fall for the bs of Soros and the others.
While it is possible that the Liberal Left is using Ms. Sheehan, that possible fact does not excuse her from personal accountability. She has choices, and she has continued to make bad ones.
She is LEADING such a group!
I wouldn't rely on this woman to tell me what time it is. The lies in this e-mail alone are shameless.
IMO, she is certifiably insane and getting worse every day. It's a pity and if the left had any compassion whatsoever they would find a way to get her the mental health help she desperately needs.
