Baltimore, Md.: Do you think its wise for the antiwar movement to rally around someone who has made so many strange comments about the Iraq War being a war for Israel?
Dana Milbank: The key for the antiwar movement is to use Sheehan as a symbol but not to make the movement about her. Last night was an effort to broaden beyond Sheehan to other parents. That's why MoveOn told people to bring pictures of children even if they aren't in the military, and organizers handed out stickers saying 'mom' and 'uncle' and so forth, even if the 'son' or 'nephew' wasn't in Iraq.

My nephew is in Iraq. Cindy is a bully activist mommy who couldn't emasculate her son while he could speak for himself.
Howard Dean is with her, anyone surprised?
Right. She wanted him to go to freakin' Canada. The kid was a hero, re-upped when he knew he would go; then volunteered for the mission when he didn't have to--he was a mechanic. My brother is there too, and he emailed me this morning saying his guys are jumpin' ugly about her crap.
"the same terrorists that killed her son"
Haven't you been listening to her? George Bush "murdered" her son. And it was "premeditated" thanks to the Jews, I mean Neo-Cons.
Like I said .. no one in their right mind would stand with her and all of her UGLY and HATEFUL comments
There is a reason why Dean got knocked out of the Primary
Majority of the Dem Voters thought he is off his rocker
"Majority of the Dem Voters thought he is off his rocker"
Not true. They agreed with him but bailed out because they knew he couldn't win the general. Thought the "war hero" was the pragmatic way to go. They've always been with him.
Did Cindy want more of this for the children of Iraq?
Young victims of the attacks by Saddam and his Ba'ath forces on Halabja.
Glad to hear they aren't letting her lies get them "down."
Good post...I mean awful post...I mean...they've got me so upset I don't know what I mean!!!!!!!!!
I dare the likes of Kerry, Clinton, Kennedy, Reid and the rest of the Top Dem Leaders to go down there and stand side by side with Cindy
I double dare them to stand up and support the things she is saying
"Glad to hear they aren't letting her lies get them "down.""
I've been sending him everything about the situation, but he (and the others) don't have enough computer time to get the whole story. They get CNN, which doesn't help much, but he did catch the dude who blasted the shotgun over their heads and enjoyed that...he's lives in Texas too, about an hour and a half from Crawford.
Sound like they are following the Winter Soldier and Kerry plan here.
BINGO!
"and I honor them for their willingness to to stand by what they believe is right."
Well said. What they KNOW is right. My brother joined the National Guard when he was 35--just before 9/11 and just before the age cutoff whatever it is.
I just can't believe people would perpetrate a fraud by carrying pictures of children and wearing stickers saying "son" or "uncle" to make people think they've got "skin in the game" to quote Sheehan; it makes me want to do something irrational.
Those people Grrrr .... how low can they go? "No" lie is beneath them!
