How about another question? De we think MSNBC is used by leftist groups? (or is one)
My guess is that the real reason for the poll asking about group(s) plural is so when the blowback comes, and it will, the LSM can look back with their usual moral equivlance and say this nutjob was used by both right and left groups and oh isn't that so wrong! Mark my words.
This is a push poll. IT ASSUMES SHE IS DOING THIS INVOLUNTARILY.
SHEEHAN KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!!!!!
SHE IS NOT BEING USED, She volunteered KNOWING LY.
The PR firm did not appear "spontaneously".
SHE KNOWINGLY AND CONTUMACIOUSLY USED THE COLD DEAD BODY OF HER OWN SON TO PUSH HER ANTI-WAR PROPAGANDA.
She is pissing on her son's grave and telling us its her tears.
I just voted and sent them a feedback message. The letter is from soldiers in Iraq from this website
http://soldiersagainstcindysheehan.blogspot.com/
I'm sure they won't use this since it goes against their ANTI-war views. I would recommend freepers here to go leave these guys a message of support on their site.
There has been much in the news lately on Cindy Sheehan, the mother of Spc. Casey Sheehan who was killed in action. According to a website affiliated with her, her organization is related to Code Pink who has raised money for terrorists and apparently is involved in attacks on military recruitment centers in the US.
No one knows better than we do the cost on families that military services brings. We all have families who, for many of us, wait at home in fear while we are deployed. We know first-hand the trauma it causes to families and loved ones when one of us is killed in action. Spc. Sheehan was our brother and he will be missed. He voluntarily went to Iraq to help keep his fellow soldiers safe. He served with distinction and honor in the highest traditions of military service.
That being said, what Cindy Sheehan is now doing has descended beyond disgraceful. We can understand a grieving mother lashing out at the President. We all have had our doubts. What we cannot understand is a mother standing on the flagged-drapped coffin of her son and using his grave as a pulpit to, among other things, support organizations that fund the other side in this fight. We cannot understand violence and vandalism against the offices of the very soldiers that Spc. Sheehan went to Iraq to help protect. We cannot understand why you use this to denounce Israel. We are flabbergasted that you dishonor his service by suggesting his death allows you to speak for us. You do not speak for us. Much to the contrary, apparently.
Some of us are in Iraq and wondering what country the media is covering. Yes, there are casualties. Yes, there are setbacks. However, there are a great deal many more successes uncovered by the media. There are plenty of soldiers who have a variety of complaints about the way the war is prosecuted, whether we should be here, and the quality of food. Yet, for a majority, we understand that we are fighting what have become mostly foreign forces seeking to prevent a people from ruling themselves. It’s hard enough on those of us who are deployed without the likes of the fringe anti-war movement making the job that much harder.
Mrs. Sheehan, we’re sorry for your son, we really are. But please be quiet and stop undermining our efforts here. Your support for organizations that give money to the very people who killed your son is outrageous. And please stop using the grave of an honorable soldier as a soapbox.
Yes 62%
No 38%
LOLOL....if they are asking, they KNOW.
I voted "Yes" because they didn't have a box marked "Duh!".
Do bears cr*p in the woods?
Do Rats live in the sewer ??
62% at just before 3pm EDT. Keep on Freepin'
If these poll numbers stay as is or Yes% increases,msnbc will bury it.
you mean an olarpay earbay!
I voted in an AOL poll about Cindy Sheehan; that poll also was not favorable to her and her motives. At DUmmyland they are mystified! How? why? are all the polls showing the great Cindy as a dang loser?Everyone I know supports Cindy! etc etc ad nauseum. Then, the truth! Freepers have special software (I suppose we are issued such by Karl Rove) that allows us to vote more than once in ALL online polls! bwahahaha!
as of now
Do you think political groups are using Cindy Sheehan? * 5791 responses
63% Yes
37% No
Folks, we have the winner for "stupidest poll question ever asked"
Is she being used? Of course, but she knows exactly what she's doing. I'm guessing the reason why the question is being asked by MSNBC is because they recognize that she fully discredited herself with her anti-semitic statements and MSNBC would like you to believe that all this negative publicity around her is caused by OTHER PEOPLE. Mother Sheehan is pure as the driven snow.
I don't like the way this question is asked
Because I don't think they are using her
I think she volunteered herself to be used
With that said .. I voted Yes
