What Cindy Sheehan Really Wants - Now imagine if she gets it. (Dem posters cryin over this article)

Slate ^ | Christopher Hitchens

[summer]

When are the bureau chiefs of our newspapers and networks going to snap out of their own vacation-induced trances and send some grown-up correspondents down to Crawford, Texas? For weeks now, Cindy Sheehan has not been asked a single question that is any tougher than "How does it feel?" The media have been acting as her megaphone. After Slate published her real opinions on politics (a weird confection of pacifism with paranoid anti-Zionism) last Monday, she was eventually asked about her statement that her son Casey had been killed in a war for Israel, and she denied ever having made it. So, we must now say that, as well as being a vulgar producer of her own spectacle, and an embarrassment to her family, Cindy Sheehan is at best a shifty fantasist.

After Slate published an extract from a letter that she wrote last March to ABC Nightline, Anderson Cooper of CNN asked her about the anti-Israel remarks the letter contained. She denied making them and proceeded in her blog to assert that someone had gotten hold of her original letter and somehow doctored it. This dark and murky allegation—evincing further paranoia on her part—has been easily and convincingly refuted, as can be seen in this sidebar. Cindy Sheehan, not content with echoing the Bin-Ladenist line that the president is the real "terrorist" and that he is the tool of a Jewish cabal, has dug a pit of falsehood around her own wild story....

Hitch is da man!

When Mother Sheehan left Crawford to whom did she bequeath her absolute moral authority? Or are these lefties operating without moral authority?

So has anyone found out what tobacco she was chewing in that photo?

From the article: We all know how much the MoveOn.org forces believe in the power of prayer, and in the president's sincere religious convictions (their contempt for this is the only thing on which I agree with them).

I dunno, I'm glad the driving force behind our current President is religion, whereas our last President was firmly in the passenger seat of his genitals.

Yes, just by being here among the FRuitful masses on this glorious FRiday, we must indeed be great minds ;-)

[the Real fifi]

No. He's a lefty who supports the war. He is also wildly anti-religious as yo can see if you read the article.

Whether you agree with him or not on the other issues, he is a brilliant writer and the best defender of the Bush foreign policy.

"Some have perhaps been drawn to "Camp Casey" out of reverence for life."

What reverence for life?

[TBP]

The term "LaRouche-like" is in the article.

Is that actually an insult to LaRouche?

[TBP]

Slate is liberal. But they are smart to distance themselves from this lunatic.

Liberal is one thing; radical leftist is another.

[sageb1]

Most Dems who are seriously interested in keeping their jobs or in running for office are distancing themselves from Sheehan. They know the reason they haven't been able to win against Republicans is because they allowed the left to take over their party and they are running scared.

The fact that MSM has focused so much attention on this leftist lunatic bitch --- speaks more about their agenda and our ignorance to pay attention, than it does to enlighten anyone about anything....

We SHOULD have all known, that the leftist liberal condition, is a dangerous mental illness..... Dangerous to the nation -- but apparently survivable by the suffering leftist lunatics...

Semper Fi

"...oh, and by the way, I look like Mr. Ed."

[WildTurkey]

He is also wildly anti-religious as yo can see if you read the article.

You must be reading another article.

Maureen Dowd -- another example of a bitter woman.

Pardon my crudeness but, it probably comes from not getting laid enough.

[BlessedByLiberty]

It looks like the ugly on the inside is starting to show on the outside!

What a picture!
