American Gold Star Mothers have dis-avowed any relationship with Cindy Sheehan and they state that clearly on their website.

Hmmm, in that case Cindy should change her color to avoid confusion. How about Red Star Mother?

I thought so. This is from their website that you linked me to:

[“The American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. ... object to ‘American Gold Star Families for Peace’ misusing the term ‘Gold Star’ in its political demonstrations.

“Our loved ones gave their lives to protect the freedom to protest, and we know all too well the pain that these families are now suffering. However, the Gold Star symbol – authorized by Congress to honor a family’s loss in service to our nation – must not be tarnished by partisan political demonstrations.”]



This "Washington Times" article states that Mrs. Sheehan is a member when she isn't.

I wonder if the editor of the story included this falsehood simply as a mistake due to gross incompetence, or if it was done purposefully as a means of Bush bashing propaganda.

With the recent record of the McJournalists in Big Media, it could be either one.
