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.
Wait, not so fast...
"But she thinks the version on the web has been tampered with."
Now, she wouldn't lie, would she?
"Mr. Anderson Cooper, please pick up the white courtesy phone........"
"Mr. Anderson Cooper, please pick up the white courtesy phone........"
ROTFLMAO! I just happened to see her absolute denial yesterday.
I have nothing but pity for this confused, misled woman. I'm sure that if the MSM stays on her, she'll spount off something ever more stupid than she already has.
I wonder what Joe Trippi/ moveon/ Soros machine are telling her what to say about this.
[[Another “big deal” today was the lie that I had said that Casey died for Israel. I never said that, I never wrote that.]]
This skank has gone off of the deep end. This is why the kook fringe loves her so much. She is now spouting the same kind of whacky shit that they do. After she gets divorced maybe she will start dating fat ass Michael Moore.
Kudos to Mr. Lowry! At A Boy!
She has moved beyond being deserving of any pity at this point, IMO.
I love Mr. Lowry.
Rather Redux.
Maybe RAther should marry that crazy... whahaha
Bet this protest gets knocked off the MSM's front burner real quick now.
in a nutshell - she is a nut.
We all knew she's a liar... now ABC has to confirm.
She's a proven liar. Now it's up to MSM to nail her.
Shall we take bets?
no. they know she is lying, but the lmsm will 1. not cover it then spin it to help her. just watch. they can work wonders with very little.
I don't speak moonbat. What is PNAC?
Oh my. It looks like Cindy is The Victim yet again. All that notoriety ...... and all she wanted to do was sit in her lawn chair along Prairie Chapel Road. The press HATES Crawford - as soon as Bush returns to Washington and the press has something to do besides watch flies on cow patties and Cindy, she'll be a nonentity. I can't wait.
The MSM will excuse this blatant LIE......don't forget she is EMOTIONAL and her HEART is BROKEN and besides that everyone LIES.
Cindy Sheehan killed her son. She knows it and the knowledge has driven her crazy. She needs to be confronted with the fact that she murdered her son. If she had not been such a mixed up nut case her son may not have been motivated to get as far away from her as possible ie the army in Bagdad.
