PR Machine Behind Cindy Sheehan? ABC7 Looks At The Financing Of 'Camp Casey'

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.

I read through Gates of Fire at Michael Yon's blog overnight.

That has to be the most riveting report I have ever read from a war zone. Even though his copyright notice explicitly would not allow posting here, someone needs to start up a Michael Yon ping list.

No, I do not volunteer.

Thanks for posting the link. I was trying to remember where I saw it and how to get to it on the machine here at home.
