Cindy Sheehan and her supporters in the mainstream media failed in their efforts to radicalize the American people against the war in Iraq, according to a poll by The Washington Post and ABC News to be released later today at 5 p.m. EDT.
The telephone survey of 1006 adults conducted August 25-28 showed no movement in either direction for opposition or support to the war. Eighty percent said Sheehan's three-week long protest outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas while he was on a working vacation there had no effect on their position on the war. Ten percent said her protest made them more likely to support the war in Iraq, while an equal number said her protest would make them less likely to support the war.
Mrs. Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq last year, arrived in Crawford on August 6 demanding a meeting with the president. Aided by anti-American groups that have expressed support for the so-called Iraqi resistance, including Code Pink and Veterans for Peace, Mrs. Sheehan was able to dominate the news for the month of August with the help of a sympathetic national media which failed to report the most basic facts about her and her supporters.
Thanks to the research of Freepers, the American people were able to learn about Mrs. Sheehan's extremist politics and her disengenuousness.
Freepers were first to report that Mrs. Sheehan had previously met with the president and that she was telling a wildly different story of that meeting from her initial account told to her local newspaper right after the meeting.
Freepers also discovered photos of that meeting that showed Mrs. Sheehan holding the president's hand and leaning in to receive a kiss on the cheek from him.
Freepers researched and reported Mrs. Sheehan's extremist statements about Israel and her pronouncements that she was refusing to pay her taxes in protest against her son's death.
Freepers found her comments supporting convicted abettor of terrorism, Lynne Stewart and also reported that the groups involved with Mrs. Sheehan in Crawford had explicitly sided with the so-called Iraqi resistance through their endorsement of the World Tribunal on Iraq.
Freeper research also unearthed a video of Mrs. Sheehan calling terrorists who crossed the border in to Iraq to join Al Qaeda "freedom fighters" in an interview with CBS News' Mark Knoller on her first day in Crawford--which CBS and the other media at her press conference failed to report.
That video now serves as exhibit one for how the mainstream media covered up for Mrs. Sheehan from day one in order to prop her up as the latest tool of their campaign to destroy the presidency of George W. Bush.
Thanks to the efforts of Freepers, Mrs. Sheehan and her allies in the media and on the left failed to instigate the prairie fire of rebellion against the war in Iraq they thought would surely follow.
While they will blame Karl Rove and the White House for Mrs. Sheehan's failure, we know it was the patriotic Americans at FreeRepublic.com who fought the good fight in the arena of ideas.
You're right about that. Those who aren't reading FR and the alternative/conservative outlets like Drudge, WorldNet Daily and Newsmax or listening to conservative talk radio shows--all of which picked up on Freeper research on this--could very easily believe that Mrs. Sheehan was just a 'grieving mother' and a 'peace mom' rather than a radical leftist.
We'll watch... but it's never been a substitute for FreeRepublic & talk-radio!
FREEPER BUMP!!
All Cindy's efforts yielded naught.
For later....
Thanks kristinn!!!

Gotta run!
And I will bet you about 30%of that 52% or more do not read those choices..Some people just do not want to be bothered..Like for instance our local paper has her on the front page nearly every day here..giving her sad story..Most people get their news from the liberal media like NBC,CBS and ABC..or CNN if they have cable..and some do not even know how to turn a computer on..so forget that one..
Oops I forgot to call my Zionist Master for instructions. Do you think that he will forgive me? Never ceases to amaze me the Far Left and their deception tactics. Cindy Sheehan is like Bill Clinton (I feel your pain). What a fraud she is. A political activist who is being repudiated by her Relatives and her exhusband. Seems Cindy cares more about her cause than her children. Casey is just a tool for her to gain Media attention. What an Attention Whore.
Thank Goodness the public sees through the BS. Must make the Left crazy that their minions best laid plans are not resonating with the public. Could not happen to nicer Moonbats. The Nation must stay the course until the Mission is accomplished. We will have no credibility in the world if we cut and run.

To everyone, thank you.
When leftists pull stunts and don't get their desired result, they usually resort to more outrageous stunts. Should get interesting.
BTTT !
We had a FReep on Sunday, (8/28) in Louisville (Bardstown Rd. and Eastern Prkwy.) Ky., with ProtestWarrior Network, too...it rained, but we're there w/ you in spirit.
ROCK & ROLL, MAN!
I can't wait to see the pictures of her hugging Jane Fonda
Unfortunately, this speaks for 99% of college students who don't even know the difference between the left and the right. I heard Byron York mention "D.C. on the 24th" last night. Let's hope FOX continues to get the message out as D.C. is going to be critical. There are just too many on the left who seem to have an awful lot of spare time on their hands. Obviously, they can't seem to get their brains around the concept of a 9-5 job. Congrats to you and to all FReepers who have been working so hard to make sure the media knows that Cindy does not speak for the majority of Americans.
Taxman Bravo Zulu! to all involved in marginalizing Ms. Sheehan.
Nice summary of the work done. Thanks to Jim Rob we have a place to share it.
tgsl, bro - DC Chapter ping please
