ABC Confirms: Sheehan Wrote the Letter

NRO ^

[hipaatwo]

Rich Lowry is reporting on the Corner that Sheehan wrote the letter. You know, the one in which she said her son was killed for lies, the neocon agenda, and Israel — things she denied on CNN ever having said:

In a nut shell, ABC now says it talked to Sheehan and she said she did in fact write the letter in question after all and she did receive an e-mail from ABC confirming that ABC had received it. But she thinks the version on the web has been tampered with. Very, very strange...

In a nut shell indeed. So let me get this straight: Cindy Sheehan fires off a letter to ABC after an appearance on Nightline in which she felt Ted Koppel wronged her by "dismissing" her as "emotional." Then, at least according to what Sheehan told ABC, someone tampered with the version of her letter online, specifically this paragraph:

Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.

Does this explanation even make sense? First, that paragraph follows from the main thrust of her letter, which is a rebuke to Ted Koppel for dismissing her as emotional. Second, the sentiments expressed in that paragraph echo sentiments Sheehan has expressed many times before and since she wrote that letter. It's becoming more and more clear that Cindy Sheehan lied to Anderson Cooper in order to make herself seem more mainstream to CNN's audience. (But with her record of anti-American vitriol, that's not likely to happen anytime soon.)

ABC News also said they spoke to CNN to see if they are going to run a correction about the statement Anderson Cooper made that "ABC News does not seem to be confirming this is what Cindy Sheehan wrote to them." In fairness to CNN, that conclusion seemed reasonable yesterday. Today, the most likely conclusion is that Cindy Sheehan is making up totally implausible excuses for lying on TV.

Cindy says the comment that ABC insists is hers (they have the proof) was in some way altered by person or persons unknown.

Ain't that a hoot!

Dems always resort to personal attacks and talking points and make idiots of themselves

And don't forget their favorite. Trying to filibuster and continually interrupting the "conservative" so only THEIR voice can be heard. The modern Left really is the modern god child of the storm troopers. Only difference is the Left uses words where the storm troopers used weapons.

"Cindy says the comment that ABC insists is hers (they have the proof) was in some way altered by person or persons unknown."

I love it.

[airborne]

Then she'll get real crazy!

[RinaseaofDs]

Literally LMAO!

I can't believe no one else has said this yet:

It's Bush's Fault.

[trubluolyguy]

Ya know the more Cindy is out there spouting her emotional garbage...the les likely Hillary is to be elected. Think about it. Men who haven't voted in decades will come out to vote against her simply on the "lefty women are too emotional" argument.

My husband didn’t know that it would become public record, and public knowledge.

Then he's an even bigger dummy than she is.

But then, he did marry her, so I guess it's no surprise.

And what's this about "My divorce was in the works way before I came out to Crawford." -- BUT -- "He didn’t want me to find out."

Huh?

This does not compute.

"Say, dear, about this divorce we're working on -- would you be an angel and please not let me know about it for a while? Thanks so much!"

[Rosemont]

"My husband didn’t know that it would become public record, and public knowledge."


Is she blaming her husband now for the letter? If so, good tactic for the divorce proceedings!

[Tom Thumbs]

This man who ran over the crosses thinks he is a better American than we are.

This woman who makes Jesse Jackson look like a piker when it comes to camera-hogging thinks SHE is a better American than we are.

(No, kids, I am not justifying running over the crosses. I'm just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy bleated out by Mrs. Cindy BetterThanUs.)

[Peach]

Liars can't usually keep up with their own lies. She's busted.

[conservativebabe]

Could you be talking about this moonbat, Susan Estrich?

[Tom Thumbs]

Google cached her e-mail. How long before google erases the proof that Sheehan is misrepresenting the facts?

Have you tried The Wayback Machine?

Stick http://web.archive.org/*/ ahead of the URL and if it's archived, you'll get a menu of each revision they have online.

Note: do NOT type ".com" after "web.archive" or you will land on a site you do not want to expose your computer to. At least, that was my experience several months ago when I carelessly typed .com without thinking.)

Don't count on it. Cindy is a media darling. They will not press her on this or anything else.

A guy from ABC International News by the name of Jeff Morrel (sp?) did question Cindy about her Isreal comments and apparently it don't go over very well

The ended the press conference

Here is an audio clip of Az Air American discussing it

Ernie interviews Cindy

As Cindy lies, soldiers will die.

Cindy Sheehan's speech at the VFP Convention 2005

I've been searching for a video of that speech

I've found every one bleeping video but that one ..

[timestax]

SHE'S A L I A R

[Tom Thumbs]

Nope, it's not The Ghost of Carol Channing's Voice. The one I'm thinking about is seriously freaky. I think her name is "Jenny" something. Gives me the creeps just thinking about her. She's really good at what she does (which is "giving me the creeps").

[Mo1]

Then he's an even bigger dummy than she is.

No .. she's lying yet again

Cindy can't keep her stories straight

[Tom Thumbs]

Is she blaming her husband now for the letter?

---

Nope. She's claiming he didn't know that divorce filings were public record.

[dc-zoo]

Cindy is lying and she knows she's lying. That's what liberals do. She's lying about Bush being a terrorist and a murderer, lied about being "shot at" and also lied about Bush waging "nuclear war" on Iraq and practicing genocide so lying about an email is nothing to her.
