On Stephanopolis, he downplayed that and said that she's been saying outrageous things against the Pres. and there's no way he should meet her now

I'm glad to hear that but I question why he made the statements at all. As I wrote earlier, I knew of Cindy Sheehan's outrageous comments weeks ago. FR had links up to speeches and news articles about her immediately. Why didn't Allen know about her background too. If someone like me, a 40 something mom in Alpharetta GA can use google to get the info on her why can't a powerful Senator and his staff.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not a big Allen fan, as I don't even know that much about him. I just wanted to be fair to him. And believe me, sitting next to Hagel, he definitely seemed like a "good guy." :-)

That being said, I agree with you. And I was steamed when I first heard about him saying it.

As to your question, I don't know, but I tend to think a lot of those guys probably rely on the commie media for a lot of their info.
