I watched this video a couple weeks ago and have yet to see the MSM make any mention of it .. or the title of the bus she rode in that day

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq whose August antiwar vigil in Crawford, Texas has captured the nation's attention as she camped out on the side of a road leading to President Bush's ranch demanding a meeting with him, called the foreign terrorists in Iraq (AKA al Qaeda in Iraq) 'freedom fighters' during her first meeting with reporters when she arrived in Crawford, August 6--remarks that when unreported until now.
Mrs. Sheehan also expressed sympathy for Iraqis who have used car bombs and suicide bombings to fight the American-led coalition forces in Iraq.
Video of her incendiary remarks were found on a link from the website of Veterans for Peace, one of the groups that accompanied Mrs. Sheehan to Crawford.
Surrounded by reporters with notepads, tape recorders and video cameras, Mrs. Sheehan spoke freely in response to a question by CBS News' Mark Knoller.
Mr. Knoller asked, "You know that the president says Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism, don't you believe that?"
Mrs. Sheehan replied, "No, because it's not true. You know Iraq was no threat to the United States of America until we invaded. I mean they're not even a threat to the United States of America. Iraq was not involved in 9/11, Iraq was not a terrorist state. But now that we have decimated the country the borders are open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in and they (America) have created more terrorism by going to an Islamic country, devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country. The terrorism is growing and people who never thought of being car bombers or suicide bombers are now doing it because they want the United States of America out of their country."
The video was shot by an unknown person who accompanied Mrs. Sheehan on her bus ride from the Veterans for Peace convention, held in in Dallas, to Crawford.
The video also contains footage of Mrs. Sheehan talking strategy on the bus ride from Dallas. In response to a fellow activist who mentions remarks by a woman from the Austin Peace and Justice Center that, "The polls are plumeting, people are dying--now's the time," a smiling Mrs. Sheehan says, "Momentum," and adds that they need to "press the advantage."
The end of the thirty minute video shows the confrontation between Mrs. Sheehan and sheriffs when the activist's march to the president's ranch was stopped because the group violated their agreement to march in the ditch along the road by walking on the road itself.
An emotional Mrs. Sheehan is seen pleading with the sheriffs to be allowed to continue, swearing repeatedly that she did not walk on the road, that she kept her promise to them to walk in the ditch.
Immediately after the confrontation, Mrs. Sheehan says she did walk on the road, but just a little bit, because she's afraid of snakes.
It was a performance any parent of an eight-year-old knows well, but rather pathetic coming from a grown woman.
As many observers know, Mrs. Sheehan has gotten a free ride from the mainstream media. Were it not for the research of Freepers that has been picked up by the likes of Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly and Christopher Hitchens, the public would not be aware of Mrs. Sheehan's radical politics and disingenuousness.
As documented by the video, the mainstream press knew of Mrs. Sheehan's remarks on her first day in Crawford where she called foreign terrorists entering Iraq (AKA al Qaeda in Iraq) 'freedom fighters' and expressed her sympathy for car bombers and suicide bombers, yet chose not to inform the American people about them.
There's a scandal here, and it's not just Mrs. Sheehan's sympathy for the terrorists.
Woody Allen. 'Sleeper.'
Big Bump
It's a huge file, 66 mb.
This woman is INSANE. She comes across as very juvenile and blindly niave but that must be symptomatic of her mental & moral illness.
By her logic she should be cellebrating that her son, a BABY MURDERER, was justifiably killed by FREEDOM fighters.
She should be burning her son in effigy and cursing the day she gave that crusading barbarian life.
At some point she will have to answer to God and to her son, any 'pain' she thinks she feels today will pale at that moment of atonement.
Anyone who seen the NG documentary on 9/11 attacks last night would have to have their anger ratcheted up against the Sheehans & Islamist terrorists.
I also saved it. It's a 66meg file. Quicktime movie. Anyone know if this can be burned onto CD or DVD to view on television? I'm a techno-dunce.
As you say in the title of your thread, the real scandal is the MEDIA COVERUP. Mark Knoller and the rest of the WH Press Corps KNOW that Sheehan is not an "Everymom", but have suppressed all evidence to the contrary.
get them to OReilly, he showed a long clip of her comments at that Lynne Stewart rally.
I haven't posted at all on these Cindy Sheehan threads, mostly because my "man on the street" sheeple meter of friends and co-workers tells me that no one is talking about her; and those that are, kind of roll their eyes. But I must say, if she keeps this up, she could actually do something that the administration itself has had a very hard time doing - INCREASE public support on iraq.
Oh, it exists, I have it saved to my hard drive! They didn't get rid of it quickly enough this time!
What's maddening is that the mainstream media has her disgusting comments on tape also and have not played them for their fellow Americans so they can decide for themselves about Mrs. Sheehan.
Yes you can burn it to a CD. Once you have it saved you just burn it like any other file.
Don't cheapen the word bimbo by applying it to Cindy - she's a traitor and should be arrested for treason.
She chats and smiles on the bus as she talks about anti-war strategery and her son's funeral, but when she steps off the bus and into the gentle embrace of the MSM cameras, she turns on the tears.
its working
Yes.
I downloaded the video and watched it a few days ago. It is excatly as Kristinn described.
What's more, all the networks love to start by saying "What began as one grieving mother's lonely vigil..."
It DID NOT begin with just her, and THE MEDIA KNOWS IT! She arrived in Crawford in a bus full of old hippies and antiwar professional protesters. The bus was labled "Veterans for Peace Impeachment Tour".
Kind of reminds of some other media whore in the 90's, doesn't.

She broke her word and walked in the road. Then she says she did not walk in the road. Then she said she did walk in the road but only for a little bit because she's AFRAID OF SNAKES? She's surrounded by human snakes...the worst kind... but doesn't seem to care about THEM.
It's a 66meg file, slow download.
If anyone wants it in their own video files, get it fast, before the lefties purge it from their sites.
