Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, and who's been intermittently camped outside President Bush's ranch in Texas demanding to meet with him for a second time, has been hailed as the public face of the antiwar movement. Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has declared that Sheehan's moral authority is "absolute." So in the interest of more fully tapping that moral authority, here's a collection of Sheehan quotes:
"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"Our government is run by one party, every level, and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government."
"Then we have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a five week vacation in a time of war. You know what? I'm never going to get to enjoy another vacation because of him. My vacation probably -- this is really sad because I have a really cute dress I was going to wear to the banquet tomorrow night -- but I'm either going to be in jail or in a tent in Crawford, waiting until that jerk comes out and tells me why my son died."

anyone have a link to the "who said this, sheehan or david duke?" post?
"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
Actually the Internet is wiping out the left, if we relied only on the MSM to bring us the information about Cindy, she would be sainted by now.
Dan Rather got a taste of the Internets power. The ultimated freedom of speech is in each and every one of us reach now. ONE person, can really make a diffrence in how we get our news.
Sorry Cindy. Thank God for the internet. But not for you.
And we are going to make sure every single word you have said is known to Americans.
the net has overshadowed the news channels. I havent watched TV news in ages and I know more about whats going on than most people I know. Screw tv news.
She also claims we're waging nuclear war in Iraq and have destroyed the environment there for all eternity. Does she think we're so stupid that we don't know what's going on? Or is it just her followers who are that stupid?
Clever work.

Wow! Is she ever playing with a partial deck. And to think that her son is an Eagle Scout--my guess is that he accomplished that goal in spite of her.

"The Best of Cindy Sheehan"... that's an oxymoron... actually Cindy's just a moron.
"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"Actually the Internet is wiping out the left, if we relied only on the MSM"
So in a bass-ackwards way, she *was* speaking the truth....:)
you have that right!!!! They might as well wave the enemy flag(if they have one)
Let's face it, Cindy's not too bright...
Survey says:
BOTH
That is an understatement. No wonder her son left to join the military. And her husband and remaining children are walking. I believe sh's dumber than a stump and is being manipulated by the MSM and is on the take. If my assessment is correct on the last piece of my discussion, she is a media whore, and her son will be spinning in his grave in disgust of his 'mother.'
We're missing two pictures for this group- Cindy's I'm not a media whore- getting made up and of course Al Sharpen face being patted then these two photos.
These people give America a bad name.
