PR Machine Behind Cindy Sheehan? ABC7 Looks At The Financing Of 'Camp Casey'
ABC News ^ | Mark Matthews

Posted on 08/25/2005 7:41:37 PM PDT by FairOpinion

With the President back at his Crawford ranch, the anti-war protest right outside his ranch is getting a lot more media attention. ABC7 looks at who is financing the operation and who's providing on-the-ground support.

The camp at Crawford is full of Cindy Sheehan supporters, people from all walks of life. But off to the side are a small group of professionals, skilled in politics and public relations who are marketing her message.

Cindy Sheehan kneels before a cross with her son's name on it, touches his picture, wipes her tears. It's an outpouring of emotion that is part of a scheduled news event organized daily for the television radio and print reporters who crowd in to capture a mother's grief.

[Ann Coulter] really made Alan and Ellis mad because she kept referring to Cindy as the Spokesperson for the Democrats...everytime she mentioned her she would say that...and Ellis and Alan would both say.."she is NOT the spokesman!" gotta love her!

I still remember when H&C was covering some idiotic statement of Howard Dean's (can't remember which) and in response, Colmes brought up something said by (I think) the Republican attorney general of Indiana, as if that compared to being the national party chairman! I hate that particular liberal tactic: finding anyone, at any level, who says something they can attack, then annointing that person the representative of all conservatives, Christians, Republicans, whatever. Nice to see them getting some of it back.

Someone at the MAF rally in Crawford needs to make a BIG sign reading: THIS SIGN IS NOT PAID FOR BY BEN & JERRY'S!
The word needs to get out that the peaceniks are being paid to demonstrate by the usual leftists.

Oh, I had no doubts! I figured Moveon, but am surprised about the Ben & Jerry thing. But, I've been reading stuff about Ben.

Cindy Sheehan (about her son): "And I'm never going to see him again, I'm never going to hold him again, I'm never going to hear his voice again."

He's probably reading this from heaven's door and shouting "YAY!!"

From the article (you have to click the link, then scroll down a little):

Money donated through these groups and others is helping to pay for Gold Star families whose children have been killed in Iraq to attend anti-Bush protests.

And who's paying the "You don't speak for me Cindy" caravan attendees? Oh wait, I forgot. Our side is motivated by conviction. Our payment will be exposing this banshee for what she is.

Any demonstration where you have to PAY people to attend isn't much of a demonstration.

Yep. Trains, planes and automobiles. Whoops scratch the trains parts and substitute boats. In fact there is one boat that is so large maybe it s/b called a ship. During the election Terry & Kerry kept it in FL and had a lot of repairs done on it.

"They're PAYING them to go protest? Sheesh."

How else would a woman with no husband, no job and no future be able to afford all of this travel and expense.

I heard today that a "Fundamentalist Christian Watchdog Group" was accusing Pat Robertson of violating his tax exempt status because of the remarks he made the other day about Hugo Chavez.

My question is, is there anyone who is looking into CodePinko, MoveOn.org, and others, for violations of their 501c3 status?? These groups have been flagrantly violating the law for years, and I've heard precious little about any serious investigations of their political activites and funding.

"This is one cold hearted lying beotch,...."


You forget to mention she just left her partly paralyzed stroke victim mother in the care of complete strangers so she can play act the role of "Mother" Sheehan. What a fraud.

Is Olbermann telling the truth about Cindy Sheehan's connections to the profession far-left activist groups, or is he just repeating the same talking points of those same leftwing groups.
