Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005 4:37 p.m. EDT Poll: Sheehan's Protest Backfired
"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's Bush-bashing protest has apparently backfired, with a slight plurality of Americans saying her antics have actually made them more likely to support the Iraq war, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday.
Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed said Sheehan has had no impact on how they view the Iraq war.
But 10 percent say the tart-tongued Californian, who blames Israel for terrorism and said she wants to curse out the president to his face, has actually made them more pro-war. A slightly smaller number, 9 percent, said Sheehan's protest helped turn them against U.S. efforts in Iraq, for a net pick-up of support for the Iraq war of one percent.
Among military families, the anti-Sheehan effect was even more pronounced, with 22 percent of military households saying the Peace Mom made them more likely to back the war - and just 17 percent moving in the other direction.
Another Rove plot?
She accomplished her mission which was to get on the speakers circuit. She will be rich by the end of this. All the Kooky left groups will hire their "hero." At the very beginning, I felt sorry for her. Now, everytime I see that face, I feel revulsion. It's bad enough she has defiled the way her son chose to be remembered, but she's now being used as a terrorist tool. What a pathetic creature she is!
Mrs. Sheehan's protest has backfired mostly because she has singlehandedly managed to grate the nerves of nearly every American citizen, specifically my nerves.
What the Leftists can't understand is that most Americans love and revere the United States. This is beyond their comprehension.
God, its fun to see the lefties in action!!! As Grandma would say: they could screw up a one car funeral.
I sure wish we could get the financial info on how much money she is making now and how much her book/movie /speaking deals will bring in. Maybe her husband shouldn't divorce her just yet and miss this windfall..ha.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
'God, its fun to see the lefties in action!!! As Grandma would say: they could screw up a one car funeral.'
ROTFLMBO!
Your Grandma is comical. That's a line worth stealing!
Any link to the poll itself on ABCNEWS?
She IS pathetic.
In a lot of ways she is the Lefties current Roe (of Roe v Wade). Unlike Roe, Cindy will probably be rich.
Like Roe, I expect she will have an epiphany later in life, and have painful regrets for the way she allowed herself to be used.
The other thing they don't understand is that the 60s are OVER ... as in like, so over!
My 55 year old neighbor with her "Dude, where is my country?" bumper sticker is one of the most pathetic things you will ever see.
SP...thanks for the laugh...Cap'n K is great!
