No mention of Sheehan's prior meeting with the Prez, no mention of her anti-semitism.

Nope, no bias here. Move along.

[My2Cents]

the Gold Star mother...who has quickly become a global media phenomenon, igniting an anti-war uprising in America’s heartland.

All lies.

[hsalaw]

Does "Nieman alert" mean "barf alert"?

[2nd amendment mama]

Or maybe it’s just the humanity of a grieving mom demanding that W not pimp her son’s death as a “noble” sacrifice worthy of endless repetition

It sure doesn't look to me like Pres Bush is "pimping" her son's death - she's doing a the job of that all by herself!

Niman's apparently a professor at Buffalo State University -- your tax dollars at work.

[My2Cents]

Excuse me....I just Niemaned in my mouth.

So Niman was in the woods, presumably on vacation too? If he was here all along, he would have much more info on how Sheehan has imploded. There is a Jew behind ever one of Bush's errors, those evil Jews. Its all for the oil, or the Jews, or Israel, but not at all to protect this country so that the Sheehans can have their say.

Rush Limbaugh dutifully followed suit, explaining that Sheehan was “trying to pull a little bit of a swindle,” exhibiting “the whole Michael Moore leftist mentality,” even though Sheehan hasn’t made any political statements that could be construed as either left of right.

snort, guffaw, coke on laptop screen, snort, har, har, guffaw.

[dirtboy]

The most amazing aspect of the Cindy Sheehan “phenomenon” is that after trying for a year, she managed to break through the corporate media’s blackout on covering dissent

No, the most amazing thing is that you can claim that with a straight face.

[Houmatt]

Does "Nieman alert" mean "barf alert"?

Yes. This guy has such a disrespect for his country, common sense and undeniable fact his name has become synoymous with vomit.

[dirtboy]

even though Sheehan hasn’t made any political statements that could be construed as either left of right.

Gawd, he's either a liar or profoundly ignorant and incapable of research.

Neither speaks well of his qualifications to write a column worth reading.

[L98Fiero]

My God, I have never read an article so full of already disproven lies. I would list them but, dang, the article IS the list.

[mozrock]

...why did my son die?
...to use my son’s name
...to exploit my son’s name
...my son’s sacrifice
...my son’s honor.

She really doesn't say his name does she! I am really beginning to think the people who are saying that she doesn't feel any grief for Casey's death and just using this as a pulpit to preach from are right! I really, really, really hate this b!tch...really!

[Cyber Liberty]

I'll tell you as soon as I pry my head from the Porcelain Princess....

Dana Milbanks wrote in the WaPo that The Grieving Mother has often set up her travelling protest shop outside the Post's offices, among other media organs, but that the MSM has pretty much ignored her, "until now." In other words, when she was protesting outside MSM offices, she was ignored; once she protested outside of Bush's ranch, now she's a catalyst for change, and one with "absolute moral authority."

[jveritas]

She’s just a grieving mom standing defiantly out in the desert, making history as she witnesses the Bush administration self-destruct before her relentless dignified presence.

Insane delusion that defies anything we have experienced before. I am glad that the morons on the left are our political opponents, they are too insanely delusional and too stupid to ever win again.

[My2Cents]

Worse, he apparently teaches young skulls full of mush at a state university in NY.

[dirtboy]

Well, then, being an ignorant liar is an asset for him, not a liability.

Yeah, I guess you might say his job depends upon it.
