MSNBC's O'Donnell Grills Sheehan - Finally! A non-barf alert involving MSNBC.

The lefties aren't going to be happy about this one:

NORAH O'DONNELL: Cindy Sheehan is America's most outspoken anti-war activist. But does she speak for America or just the fringes? She's called President Bush the biggest terrorist in the world and she stood side by side with socialist dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Now she begins a two-month hunger strike to get the American people to join her mission to end the war. Welcome to Hardball, Cindy. Let me begin by asking you, you know, Americans may hate the war, but they don't necessarily hate the president. How do you expect to get change by going around the world and trashing the president of the United States?

CINDY SHEEHAN: Actually, I don't hate the president either. I don't trash the president, I trash the president's foreign policy, which is fundamentally and inherently wrong and immoral. And I don't tell people around the world anything that they don't know.

O'DONNELL: But you called him the biggest terrorist in the world. So you are trashing the president.

SHEEHAN: Well you know he says a terrorist is somebody who kills innocent men, women and children, and there has been [sic] over 100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq on his orders. That was just the beginning. O'Donnell went on to call Sheehan's hunger strike "really just more of a publicity stunt," challenge her on her fringe views and confront her over her association with Hugo Chavez. Toward the end, it started to look more like a harangue than an interview, and I thought O'Donnell could have asked more substantive questions. But I was glad to see someone in the media confront Sheehan over her extremist rhetoric, particularly the "Bush is a terrorist" trope.

Ok...what did I miss? What happened? Cindy won't share and play nice with Mrs. Bill Clinton? Did she make a disparaging comment about her fat thighs, or make a remark about the failures of the "previous" administration?

Nothing more than them trying to distance themselves from what most Americans see as a nut job. The Sheehan, Kos, DU crowd is destroying the Dem. party and any chance they have to win elections.

Sheehan has outlived her usefulness. She is so embarrassing that even the pundits at MSNBC know that Venezuela is a worse off place than the USA.

They figure it is best to do this now than just before the November elections.

The only way to tick off a true-blue Rat is to diss MRS BILL CLINTON and that's exactly when Cindy Sheehan got thrown under the bus.

I think you've got something there. The really pathetic thing is that Cindy still won't know what hit her. She still thinks she's relevent. Now what about all those hollywood types who are showing support for her "hunger strike"? Didn't they get the memo?

I happened to watch "Hardboiled" the day she was on.

The stupidest thing she said was that she would rather live under the Communist rule of Hugo Chavez !

She went on and on about how wonderful he was and how great things were for his people.

I saw the exchange and think that Nora was throwing softballs, and did not follow up on the statement from Momma Moonbat when she said that "Bush killed 100000 innocent Iraqis".

Does anyone know if that vile sack of humanity has bought a gravestone for her fallen son and hero?

She must have pissed off some pretty big rats to get this treatment from a rat network.

Cindy is the Left: misguided, shallow, and pathetic.

Bravo!

Not where I come from... surprise maybe. Sheehan is a commie-shill and the fact that she's given any airtime at all is a 'friggin abomination.
