The article mentions that Ben and Jerry's Icecream and moveon.org, Howard Dean's "Democracy for America", and Code Pink are funding the Cindy Sheehan protests and are orchestrating photo ops. They are paying the families to go and protest.

Code Pink involved? Who'da thunk it?

aren't behind the anti war crowd
needs to get a clue.

The convicted criminal Soros?

[AnAmericanMother]

This is being done by an ABC affiliate?

Whazzup widdat? Are they covering their bets in case Jihad Cindy Mark II* implodes?

*our very own Cynthia McKinney is Jihad Cindy Mark I

Kind of crushes the legitimacy(if it had any) when some one is footing the bill.

Karen Meredith: "Sometimes things don't feel quite right to me. They don't feel wrong but maybe that's how they do it in the marketing business." ABC7's Mark Matthew: "You feel you're part of a marketing business?" Karen Meredith: "Possibly. Yeah I think so."

part of a marketing business..

So all this is about as real as Tony and Tina's Wedding???

Both the LA Times and the NY Times reported that TrueMajority paid the airfare of Iraq widow Melanie House to speak in Boise. She was recruited to do so by MoveOn.
AP omitted any mention of the groups, allowing readers to think she showed up all on her own.

What are they doing with all those crosses do they plan a burning.

[MizSterious]

They're PAYING them to go protest? Sheesh.

Cindy is, more and more, revealing the true nature of her beliefs...and making it more and more evident why she and her son were at complete odds over the US Military and the war in Iraq.

She is willfully passing on lies and twisted, sick tales to advance her anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-military agenda...and doing it with a skillfully manufactured cover of grieving that is turned on and off with the point of a media camera. It is sickening and disgusting.

I have many friends over in Iraq as contractors and military personnel. They tell me that most Iraqis do welcome them and that in most areas of the country significant progress is neing made. I will believe THEM, thank you very much Ms. Sheehan. You see, they volunteered to be there and are doing the hard work of freeing and stabilizing Iraq, as are now millions of Iraqis themselves.

Their agenda is freedom, truth, service to others, and help. Yours is pure negativity, antifreedom (as evidenced by your calling thugs and murderes, "freedom fighters").

As to her comment today about Bin Laden being an "alleged" terrorist. More lies. He has indicated himself through the videos AL Quida has put out to the world, that it was "his" operation that brought 911 upon us. Calling him the "alleged" terrorist responsible is like calling Hitler the "alleged" leader of the Third Reich.

I posted this article on another thread, but I was hoping ABC7 (KGO) would follow up on the cameraman incident on that thread, but they didn't make mention of it (at least with the 5 o'clock news, I missed the 6 o'clock version in which this article was promoted)

[StAnDeliver]

7 was also the first to use the word "backlash". Whodathunk a conservative ABC affiliate...

[Anti-Bubba182]

You bet they are paying expenses of protesters, the left is well organized and funded for street theater. They are good at getting out the bodies.

I can recall seeing a Greyhound bus loading in the Costco parking lot for an Anti-War protest in Washington put on by A.N.S.W.E.R. It is a different group, but many left groups share the technique. I guess the left has access to more people with time on their hands to do protests if they can import them from out of state in large numbers.

They are using the same methods they used in the Vietnam War protests. The difference now is that because of the internet and alterative news outlets the general population is no longer dependent on MSM and the usual suspects for their information.

[ladyinred]

George Soros and company, or should I say Comrades?

[concerned about politics]

They are paying the families to go and protest.

Of course they are. Only an idiot would be caught on film with her. The American people can see right through her. The polls all tell Cindy to just go home. They're sick of seeing her fake cry. Enough already.
In the O'Reilly poll, 72% said they have no respect for what she was trying to do.

My dear heavens.

Spouse (liberal) has on her usual CNN news. A news item profiled picture of this tragic woman and said

She is going to follow GWB to Washington

It is getting worse
