Cindy Sheehan became an instant liberal-media celebrity when she held a vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas and demanded to meet with him (a second time) over the death of her son Casey in Iraq. But is the liberal media only about creating the legend and leaving the negative details out? MRC's Justin McCarthy reported that on Wednesday's "Fox and Friends," Melanie Morgan and Catherine Moy, authors of the book American Mourning, said they found Sheehan was paid by John Kerry's campaign in 2004 to speak out against President Bush. Said Morgan:
"We have Federal Election Commission documents. I mean we went to an extensive research, we followed the money, that's how you always figure out what's going on...We found that John Kerry and Michael Moore personally recruited Gold Star family members just within days and sometimes even at the funerals of their sons to come and work for the campaign in order to undermine the candidacy of George W. Bush at the time. It was shocking and, and really offensive behavior and that's exactly what happened to Cindy Sheehan who we tracked down. She went on the payroll of John Kerry's campaign within days after her son's death as well as her daughter Carly. Ultimately, there was a split between the two because she felt that John Kerry wasn't radical enough and didn't have an anti-war agenda that matched hers."

somebody's obviously footing her bills.
And the driveby media ate it up. Of course they will never report that they were duped by some paid for media whore with an agenda. The media followed Cindy around like she was some kind of rock star.
I am sure the MSM will drop everything and investigate this. Oh wait, this has nothing to do with Mark Foley.
That would mean Kerry was getting Soros money too.
I suppose this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
I believe the MSM knew it all along and abetted it and was part of the plan...from the getgo.
Veddy veddy interesting.
Remember, the rule is that Rats accuse the Repubs of what the Rats themselves are doing. Kerry accused the GOP of financially backing the Swifties...well, now we see that instead HE was funding Cindy.
I'm just shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Kerry subsidizing her? Imagine my surprise!
So John Kerry has a pet. Doesn't surprise me at all.
Thought you might find this interesting.
Exactly right. Funny how the MSM get the deep secrets of the CIA or Watergate, yet mysteriously never quite seem to be able to uncover the dirt on their Democrat brethren.
If a Republican got caught pulling this kind of crap he would be called on to resign immediately.
Think the NYT will have this on the front page?
Not.

Before everybody goes off half-cocked it might be good to have the documents proving this made available for examination.
"We found that John Kerry and Michael Moore personally recruited Gold Star family members just within days and sometimes even at the funerals of their sons to come and work for the campaign"
If a Republican had done this the MSM would have gone berserk.
