I agree, we need to keep the focus on her statements. I'm curious, however, about her quick departure. Since Cindy never put the needs of her family before herself and her new friends, I'm not quite buying the stroke cover story. I believe it happened but the quick departure makes me think 2 things: there are even more outrageous comments out there and they rode this story as far as they could, handlers wanted a distraction and to make CIndy even more sympathetic (she see has elder-care issues,too). If she comes back it's 2, if not, it's one. The fact that the media has not polled this issue shows the polling data isn't great. Remember how the AP ran out right after the 21 Marines were killed earlier this month to poll the American people.

Her funder's are running into problems of their own right now. Robert Novak has exposed them for what they are. This thread appeared in his column this weekend. They have to remove Cindy from ties with these organizations or she will be exposed for what she really is. My post #15 will link to the tribunal's website.

We warned them.

We warned them that the last time they did this what resulted in 2002 were counter protests in the thousands with Hollywood screaming about a "chill wind". Keep it up Libs, and watch more average Americans come out to put a boot in your butt.

This isn't Vietnam and you will not relive it through our military's courageous sacrifices.

To Cindy's mother :

" if you knew back then before your daughter was born, would you have had a abortion if you knew that Cindy would be used by the MSM and Democrat/Liberals as a useful idiot pawn, and turned out to be a anti American feminist anti Semite hag ? "

What a stupid comment! If Cindy had been aborted, the grandmother would never have been honored by Casey's service and his tragic death.

Arrgghh! First Amendment rights DO NOT include the right to have TV stations play your commercial! People really have a warped view of the First Amendment. If anything, the TV station is practicing freedom of association, and they don't want to be associated with Cindy Sheehan.

And GSFP needn't worry. Everyone who gives a poop knows their 'questions'.

-"How is it that Salt Lake City should hear no questions about the war?"-

Oh, pleeeez, stop already with the "We've been silenced!" crap. We hear your protests and anti-war/America propoganda all freakin' day long. Turn on any news program, it's there. Read any city newspaper, it's there.

We've heard your questions, and we don't agree with them, plain and simple. Shut up, already!!!

This reminds Me of one of the excuses why the libs didn't win the 2004 elections . The excuse was "We didn't get our message out effectively and clearly, that's why We lost". It seems to me that in both cases, their message DID get out. But in both circumstances, it was rejected by the majority of the people who heard it. This is what the libs have a hard time understanding, and until they do they will be in the political wilderness.

It sure does! In honor of the memory of all who served and died for our country, I will be hosting a sit down dinner of appreciation for a couple of Vietnam Vets who I just meet a few weeks ago! From now on, I will thank every soldier I see in uniform that comes my path! The wacko movement thought Americans were going to turn against W and the troops. In the contrary I want to THANK CINDY and her WACKO folk for waking us up from our complacence!

Perhaps the term "Metro-cyclists" would be more in order.....

President Bush Job Approval
Updated Daily by Noon Eastern

President's job approval has risen to 48%

RasmussenReports.com

Bush up and Sheehan down


Sunday August 21, 2005--Forty-eight percent (48%) of American adults now approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President.



Cindy Sheehan, the woman who maintained an anti-War protest outside President Bush's ranch, is viewed favorably by 35% of Americans and unfavorably by 38%.

Mother......"Callahan" lost any credibility when she decided that this nation wasn't worth dying for.

It is more than a pity that good men, like the young hero Callahan, perish while the Mother......"Callahan" still sucks vital oxygen that decent folks need to breathe.

"The bigger picture is, by suppressing the message are we doing what is right under the First Amendment and in an open democratic society?"



The irony in this question is amazing when you consider that it is the Left...and especially the MSM, that often "suppresses" the views and truths of others. Just the MSM's choice of "news" and what it chooses to cover (and not cover) is a perfect example of this form of censorship. The Left is whining about something that the Right has been victims of for decades.

If the following is true, then Cindy has a history of putting her needs before her family's. I saw it posted in the "Comments" section on one of the blogs on the Huffington Post--liberal hangout place. Nobody there challenged it, but I'm not sure how true it is:

"SHEEHAN BUGS OUT!

Let's see. She abandoned her husband and children when Casey was 7 and just returned 4 years ago (she said she left to "find herself"). Casey refused to have a regular Mother-Son relationship with her at first not having anything to do with her and then finally begrudgingly allowing her presence at a few family gatherings. But he steadfastly refused to call her "mom" telling friends, "At best, she's just "Cindy" to me."

So, she pulls her sick Crawford, Texas stunt pretending that she was a grieving "mom" (was she grieving when she abandoned her small children and allowed them to grow up without a mom?) and hoping for a good book deal or two.

Now her mom has a stroke, a mom who -- by the way -- told the Sacramento Bee that , "while I of course love my daughter politically I don't support her at all, I support my country and my president which is the same thing Casey would say if he was here." And Cindy -- who is really just tired of living in a tent -- runs home pretending to care about family."

Has anyone else heard this?

To placate your present emotional state, and provide a little perspective, yes, Salt Lake City IS different from the rest of Utah. It is surely the most liberal city in the state, and has the lowest percent of its population who are Mormons compared to any other incorporated or unincorporated municipality in the entire state. If a welfare problem exists anywhere in Utah, it is in SLC. University of Utah is not particularly conservative, and has a large and thriving colony of elitist liberals on-campus. It is an undeniable fact, that a practicing Mormon cannot also be a passionate liberal. There are, however, a large number of jack-Mormons who are entirely at ease with the differing ideologies.

Even so, liberals are not a majority in that city. From time to time, they can gain a plurality in an election. Which apparently explains the present situation.

In her ad, she states she loves her country.....but wasn't she quoted recently saying this country wasn't worth dying for?
She's creepy and confused.....poor woman.

She loves her country, and she loves her son. And she clearly loves neither as much as she loves liberal politics.

Therein lies the solution to the bizarre mystery that is Cindy Sheehan.
