lengthy story on the turnout. 'They (Sheehan and Sharpton) were unable to drown out anti-Sheehan sentiments'
You are probably right about the strategy.
PS the Iraqis wrote in a newspaper that she is an idiot and that suffering mother or not, she deserves ridicule.
Please don't torment the camels. :-) They may not smell very nice and they slobber, but that's a fate too cruel for words! LOL!
:-)
Not so fast. Usually, when the libs do a stunt like this, if they can't continue to front the player, they hawk signs to carry on "the mission". The player is then moved to do an "by engagement" circuit. Cindy is still useful to the libs as a funding tool.
That's cool. What's the name of that program that does transcripts? Thanks.
Does anyone know if there is any kind of rally in DC on that Day to counter Sheehan and the rest of the moonbats?
Well, she SHOULD pay taxes and I'll sure as heck want to know if she does. Hope someone out there with knowledge can let us know. Why should we pay taxes if she doesn't? We support our President, troops and our country. She doesn't!
Yes, I too am glad that the pro-mission demonstration got some attention, and please don't think my tone is directed anywhere but at the press.
But getting lynched is also getting attention, just not the kind most of us would want.
IMNSHO, that interview did more damage than good. IMNSHO none of them with rare exceptions (Michael Barone and Michael Barone) are reporters, they are presstitutes.
Brit, I hardly knew ye.
How many people belong to Free Republic?
Code Pink? Answr?
Time to jack up the IV.
We never bought their product becuase we like Bryer's first and foremost and then Blue Bell in TN but...knew for a long time they were libs. Wouldn't throw a penney their way besides...I think they are probably expensive and waaaaaaay over rated.
I was unhappy with the interview overall. I gave it the finger without even realizing my middle finger was up. But it was.
true, she doesn't have the sharpness of a tack on her own...much like hillereeee.
If you go to the official Gold Mother's site, there is a disclaimer stating they do not support her.
"Did ya'll see the footage of her telling the crowd on Saturday, that "when the history books are written about this, you will be able to tell your grandchildren that you met Casey Sheehan's mother!!!!"
She'll be history alright...
Cameron may be a democrat, I don't know. But I seem to remember reading somewhere that when he was covering the 2000 Bush campaign, he got a some flak because his wife had done volunteer work for Bush.
They may have put him on the Kerry campaign last year to quiet those complaints. Funny thing is, when you think about it, critics would just turn around and say that Fox was being biased because they put Cameron on the Kerry campaign when his wife had worked for Bush at one point.
Can't win for loosing when you are dealing with professional victims. Truthfully, his reports have always seemed pretty fair to me.
It was a wonderful thing. The "lee woman" they spoke of is Lisa Fithian, professional agitator. York has just done a piece on her.
I left an outline of who's behind Cindy on another thread but I'll repeat it here. NRO Online did a feature on the radical leftist who's been with her from even before Crawford. Here's a link to the NRO article by Byron York courtesy of LGF:
http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200508290901.asp
The woman touching up her makeup at the graveside and who is her mentor is Lisa Fithian a legendary 'activist' whose campaigns for 'non-violence' use violence to achieve their ends. This is an article by one of her fawning leftist groups (but all information is valuable):
http://www.nonviolenceworks.com/snv/snv2002/LisaFithian.htm
This is she herself:
http://matthew.cavalletto.org/conference/conf-4-Pages/Image5.html
One of the groups under whose banner she operates is Ramsey Clarke's "United For Peace and Justice" an affiliate of Code Pink and World Workers Party as well as NION (Not In Our Name) and on and on. All funded by their 501(3) status and by George Soros, The Tides Foundation (Theresa Heinz-Kerry) et al. The vast left-wing conspiracy.
Another curious link which tells a story of her being arrested in Ottawa is here. I've highlighted in bold the organizations who bailed her out and who are mentioned in the Indymedia article as being behind her. She works for radical anarchists and helped shut down Seattle during the protests a couple of years back as well as those in Spain where a protester was killed a couple of years ago.
Here's the Ottawa story.
http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2001/11/109420.php
What the heck she was doing in Canada I don't know. Spreading the Communist doctrine, no doubt:
This is an excerpt from the indymedia link and some interesting players are mentioned. A thorough check of who they are and where their money comes from would no doubt yield some informative insight. "...According from Jaime from Global Democracy Ottawa, the Canadian authority gave up and release Lisa around 10 AM ET Thursday morning, she was greeted by Canadian New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Spend (sic) Robinson, they just had a press conference on 3 PM ET Thus.
Lisa is now free and she and Starhawk will allow to stay in Canada for her activism works, good news!!! For latest coverage, please visit Ontario IMC.

Svend Robinson is a wingding extremely leftist New Democratic Party politician who has bedevilled Canadian politics since he entered. Last year he was convicted of grand theft in the 'accidental' purloining of a valuable bracelet or ring from a jeweller. Svend was tried and convicted and resigned his seat in the House though I believe he may have regained it in the last election. The balance of power has changed in the Canadian Parliament since Svend had his little 'misunderstanding' so he's not much of an asset (or threat) currently. That's as much as I've been able to find on some of the more shadowy types behind Sheehan. The more obvious ones like Ben & Jerry's you already know about.
Anyone with any inside information on these 'organizations' and NGOs, please feel free to add to the list. Knowledge and information are power.
whoa. Not what I saw at all.
Britt, as always, did a FANTASTIC job. He and York had talked about this beforehand and this interview was not for YOU or for conservatives or Freepers. It was for middle of the road types, or the average Joe watching who does not go to Freepr.
Britt did it slow and easy and simple so that maybe some people out there in TV Land might just go, " Ohhh? Hmmmm? Really?" The average person has been saturated with the left media version of Al-Sheehan. This was one ..rare...opportunity to let them see another view. IMO both York and Britt did a great job at that.
It's my next post down.

We can usually count on Brit to get the truth out. He is just about the only one. He has Byron York on frequently to report the truth. But even Byron has not done his homework on Sin-dy. He's missed a lot, like her campaign work for Kerry. His research only took him back to just before her coming to Crawford. That is NOT when she hooked up with those leftist groups.
That is the kind of thing someone else says about you. Your job is to realize that it is an EXAGGERATION. To say something like that about yourself is just weird.
Lisa Fithian.
