Courageous mother did not deserve criticism
Columbus Dispatch ^ | Tuesday, August 23, 2005 | CINDY WESTLING

Posted on 08/23/2005 4:51:15 AM PDT by Loyal Buckeye

Fox News has hit a new low. I didn’t think it was possible. To insinuate that a grieving mother is a communist, a wacko or has a political agenda just shows how evil this cable network is.

Cindy Sheehan is a hero who has every right to demand answers to why her son and so many other Americans lost their lives for a lie. Our servicemen pledge to serve and defend our nation.

They do so out of a sense of moral obligation and a love for this country. Leaders of this administration and especially President Bush have shown time and again that they view themselves as above reproach. Our soldiers’ lives and dedication are expendable.

That Bush, who presents himself as a man of faith, can’t reach out to a fellow human as a good Christian, tells me that he is no Christian. God help us all.

You may be on to something. It's definitely dark and stinky.

Emptyfreedom(Err, actually Cindy Sheehan DOES represent me)

You signed up today to tell us this. You label yourself a loyal conservative and tell us you'll send your "kids" to make the ultimate sacrifice, when the President sends his. You're right - Cindy Sheehan DOES represent you.

They told the truth about her being surrounded and supported by leftist front groups.

Gee, Cindy on Cindy! Name-ego!? And why do people constantly confuse and misuse the word hero. Role model?

I thought Columbus was the less liberal part of Ohio. What am I thinking?

Having just returned from Columbus, I am happy to report that liberalism is alive and doing very well in Columbus.
One jaunt through the editorial page of the Dispatch was about all I could stand.

Yes, that article brought tears to my eyes. It almost makes getting mad about Cindy seem petty. I'm going to pray for her and direct my anger at the left and the media. I think that is what Casey would want, although he probably wouldn't want us to get mad at the media either, but one step at a time.

Yes, and remember how wrong we were to fight the Nazis in WWII in all those innocent African & European countries? Never forget the WWII cry "Normandy didn't attack us- GET OUT NOW-FDR LIED!"

OK, Mr Smart Guy, tell us (me, anyway) what syphrosynistic mens. The dictionary doesn't have it, nor does google.

Web Images Groups News Froogle Local

Your search - syphrosynistic - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.

I'm tired of the 'Bush's daughters should have been the first to go"' argument.

I didn't see Chelsea Clinton in Bosnia, Kosovo. I didn't see her launching a cruise missile .

Amen. The left & the media know that reports of this distorted spectacle seen by our troops on the front lines and they don't care.

"Cindy is only four threads away from being so two minutes ago"

I hope so! We do produce some clashing "threads" in our national fabric, don't we?

Of course they did not...this woman, like ALL liberals, is repeating crap that she most likely got from a liberal blog....Fox (O'Reilly and Hannity) properly reported some of the insane stuff Cindy has said (like the war is being run by a secret Jewish Cabol), and they reported some of the WACO groups that are supporting her.
