As promised, St. Cindy stinks up the Rose Bowl parade and delivers an unhinged salvo posted at After Downing Streetcomplete with BushCo/Hitler epithets, anti-American insults, and Absolute Moral Authority sanctimony:
Since the conquest of Poland three hundred thousand Jews have been murdered in this country in the most bestial way The German people slumber on in their dull, stupid sleep and encourage these fascist criminals Each man wants to be exonerated of a guilt of this kind, each one continues on his way with the most placid, the calmest conscience. But he cannot be exonerated; he is guilty, guilty, guilty! From the second leaflet of the White Rose. [5]
My first encounter with the White Rose Society (a small group of Munich University Students who were executed for their opposition to Hitler and the Third Reich) came on my way from Dallas to Crawford, Tx on August 6th, 2005.
I rode from the Veterans for Peace Convention in Dallas on the White Rose, a bus that had a huge IMPEACH written on the side of it. On the bus was a picture of Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans and some of the quotes of the series of 5 leaflets that the Society spread denouncing Hitler from June 1942 to February 1943, when they were caught and executed. They were an obviously brave and moral group of wide awake Germans who sacrificed their lives to try and change the horrible direction that their nation was going in.
Gold Star Families for Peace and the Camp Casey Peace Institute has joined a group called the White Rose Coalition that will be carrying a large copy of the Constitution at the end of the parade and the Backbone Campaigns Chain Gang will be following the parade. Many activists will tag along with our Impeachment banners, signs and other means of protest to call national attention to the accountability issue.
Being involved in this particular action has engendered the most hate mail for me since I left the Democratic Party! I am ruining the parade. I am the representation of everything that is evil in the world today. One woman named Carrie, was sorry that my son is dead, but he volunteered to honor this country with his service and even though Carrie is no fan of Bush (yeah sure), I have really crossed the line this time.
First of all, we are not protesting the parade at all, except that it is a symbol of corporate excess and it is my opinion it is not really moral to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on parade floats when people are still being killed in Iraq and suicide rates for our Veterans are skyrocketing because the VA system in under-funded and apparently not a priority for BushCo and Congress Inc
I cant remember a time in my life where anyone protesting at a parade would have upset me at all, but since Casey was killed in Iraq and since I have faced and witnessed so much violence, oppression and hardship in the world, it is absolutely stunning to me that this protest would create so much vileness and venom. There are so many more important things in the world besides parades and football games. I have also tried to imagine an Iraqi happening to catch a glimpse of the Rose Parade on TV somehow and marveling how everything is so happy and beautiful in America when our nation has utterly devastated and destroyed theirs.
Since the conquest of Iraq, over one million Iraqis have been slaughtered or have died from the tragic, but unavoidable consequences of invasion and occupation. BushCo have desecrated our Constitution and the almost complete fascist take-over of our media and the blatant stealing of our freedoms here at home have bypassed many Americans while they are slumbering in our dull, stupid sleep.
Happy New Year to you, too, Cindy.

A reader who watched parade coverage e-mails that Impeach signs and anti-Patriot Act signs were visible along the parade route, as well as a Kucinich banner.
Another reader e-mails that many in the crowd stood up to honor Marines as they marched down the parade route, but that TV cameras cut away to show the hosts yammering.
Indeed...I could see 'em on the HD channel we chose to watch (Discovery)...there were also 7 clowns way in the background holding letter cards that spelled out RON PAUL.
The deputies did nothing to impede these expressions of "free speech", as some were not a dozen feet away.
SINdy who? I’m sorry,,,,,I don’t recognize the name...oh wait,,,,SINdy, SINdy, SINdy, ah yes, now I recall, the b*tch in a ditch.......yes, it’s all coming back to me now! She’s STILL around..........
Since their side gets most of it's power from somewhere else wouldn't a large copy of US Supreme Court Rulings be more appropriate?
Indeed. Yet another hard-Left airhead who goes back on a promise. I suppose that without the warmth of the klieg lights the nights got a bit cold for her.
She and her ilk may end up being a blessing in disguise for Republicans, however. With the Dems showing their true colors as extreme, anti-American, hate-filled bigots, they aren't likely to win any new converts from the sane and rational majority in America....although the Dems always have their well-oiled Vote Fraud Express to ride if the going ever gets tough, which is a real worry for me.
Since their side gets most of it's power from somewhere else wouldn't a large copy of US Supreme Court Rulings be more appropriate?
Or perhaps one of the numerous, well-thumbed copies of works by Marx or Engels that they have lying around.......
When "Mother Sheehan" said she was leaving the protest scene I knew she would never do it. The attention and dollars are addictive. She has become a joke.
Cindy Sheehan could get everything she wants in life by self-exiling herself to Cuba or Venezuela so it begs the question: Why is she still here?
A defeatist's stunning admission: we've won.
The same reason the Phelps family is still around like a thorn in our side. She thinks she’s a prophet.
Good news!
I watched it twice in HD and never noticed anything political!
I wasn’t looking for it either...just like 99% of viewers.
if you read the signs in front of the Norton Simon Museum, they read,
IMPEACH KUCINICH...
guess bad planning on their part.
Oh, the irony! If C. S. and her cohorts got their way we’d all be under Sharia, and a White Rose Society would be sorely needed.
Lefties such as she is are dumb, and very short-sighted.
LOL b*tch in a ditch. Reminds me of a SNL Christmas song. Something in a box.
OMG! D__k in a box.......lmao everytime I see that video on youtube,,,,,,,funniest thing I’ve seen, Timberlake is soooooo into the song it’s a riot!
LOL I know. I saw it again last week with all the SNL repeats during primetime and its original time slot.
I am PLEASED that Stoat knows the FR rules here... Sheehan who?? Post more Malkin pix!!
