Bush vs. the Mother
Rolling Stone ^ | 8/25/05 | Matt Taibbi

Posted on 08/26/2005 6:29:49 PM PDT by LarryDeRobio

The ostensible political purpose may be ending the war, but the immediate occupation for a sizable percentage of these people always seemed to be a kind of rolling adult tourist attraction called Hating George Bush. Marches become Hate Bush Cruises; vigils, Hate Bush Resorts...At one point at Camp Casey, an informal poll taken around a campfire revealed that six out of a group of ten protesters, selected at random, believed that the United States government was directly involved in planning the 9/11 bombings. Flabbergasted, I tried to press the issue.

"Do you know how many people would have to be involved in that conspiracy?" I said. "I mean, start with the pilots . . ."

I have a feeling this is just the beginning. They are going to be screaming from now until Nov 2006. We've already seen how the MSM focus on all the bad is affecting polling. They think they see an opening and they are going to do their best to exploit it.

"What I find sad about this article is Matt Taibbi seems to think it is about as illogical that Saddam was linked to 9/11 as it is to think the US was behind it."

Ultimately, yes. It's like when he came face to face with the freaks it shook him out of it, but when he went back to the puter to file the piece he goes right back into the abyss.

Keeping a discrete distance just outside of Camp Casey...

"That's good, Cindy, you're doing just fine. Now make your eyes look
a little crazier. Good, good. Ok, now repeat after me, 'America is evil...the Jews
took out the WTC... Vote Democrat...Bush poisoned my neighbor's hamster..."

I wouldn't worry too much, if this Ditch Witch Cindy Sheehan was a winning ticket, all the top Dems would be standing by her side in the ditch in Crawford.

All these left wing loons are doing is digging a deeper hole for themselves. They repeat the same old discredited claims that "Bush Lied", "Bush stole the election", "Halliburton", "Diebold", and various other baseless claims. Not much has been made about "Code Pink" so far, wait until the MSM is forced to report about "Code Pink" sending money (big money) to the Terrorists in Faluja (Or as they call them... "Freedom Fighters")

Now we are finding out that Howard Dean's group is involved with the "Cindy Circus"..... In the end, this will dwarf the backlash we witnessed from the Circus act known as the Wellstone Funeral/Democrat pep rally

That's the funniest thing I've seen posted on here during this whole sorry-ass saga. Love the hamster thing.

What's killing me is that Sheehan (and whomever is now writing for her) gets bolder everyday on her blog(s), but they won't include it in their coverage--with a few noted exceptions. It's like they're trying to see how far they can go with the anti-American before they get called on it.

OMGosh..never noticed how much Rove and Rush look alike. And their names both start with R and are four letters long. Any pictures of them in the same place at the same time?

Mike Taibbi. So much for diversity of thought in the news business.

"We don't watch the fighting, we don't see the bodies come home and we don't hear anyone screaming when a house in Baghdad burns down or a child steps on a mine.
Funny, we have seen a lot more of that than CNN showed us of Saddam's torture chambers, rape victims, mass graves, wood chippers, gassed kurds and leveled villages.

Wonder how that happened, huh Rolling Stoned?"

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got it!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I just cannot comprehend the dis-connect with reality these folks have!

Peace out dudes! LMAO

He's right about extremist. Be they on the right or left they contribute little light and lots of smoke to the issue of the day. When I was growing up those on the left were an excellent source of weed and it was free if you agreed with them and those on the right usually plied you with beer and liquor and if they were hard right you might even get a snort of home brew. Like my momma always said everybody has some good in them if you'll look for it.

You're on the money man. They're going to try to use her to make the 9/24 protests a big hit.
