BTW...Mr. Miller is out of the picture; either already dead or moved on.
You..you mean Mother Moonbat LIED again?
My poor little heart just can't take much more. She seemed so truthful in the beginn.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOL
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldnt do it without laughing. Just couldn't do it.
I was just telling my husband, if I had a daughter who was such a world famous humiliation, I'd have a stroke. Gee, I hope I didn't jinx her.
I heard it on the news and thought to myself...okay, you moron, that's the end of YOU; in spades!
And if what I read was accurate, he REINLISTED in 2003, which means he knew what he was getting into.
It wasn't the point of your post, but it occurs to me that the generally conservative Texans are selling food and hotel space to all these liberals. If someone pointed out to them how they are enriching people who tend to belong to the political right I bet they'd flee from Texas on the next bus...probably one with some lie painted on the side, of course.
What infuriates me the most, is that the media is using her words to set up a Viet Nam situation. I was watching the local news last night, and they reported that "mother Sheehan" and her protest had sparked protests all over the Southland- So Cal, and all across the country. Then they showed tightly focused pictures of protesters, to make it look like their were more of them ,and they finished with the reporter saying to the one in the studio "wow, it's really gaining momentum, all across the country", and smiling with glee.
There was no mention of any other families supporting president Bush and the war. And there was certainly no mention of Ms Sheehan's controversial statements or associates.
That's what makes me livid. The press is portraying her as your average middle class mom, who's just like everybody else- when nothing could be further from the truth.
Starting with associating with people who've sent money to the insurgents in Iraq, and her other friends, who had an effigy of an American soldier hanging by the neck in a noose , as a porch decoration. Your average American mom does not have associates like that.
While she has a right to protest, people have a right to know about her ties too.
I would really like to know if she thinks her son is happy with what she's doing.
It's obvious Casey cared very much about his fellow soldiers, and died a hero. It's hard to believe that he would be happy with his mother's actions, or her associates sending money to people attacking his fellow soldiers. Especially considering that he died trying to rescue them from an attack of the insurgents.
This doesn't get ANY press either- how Casey re-enlisted, how he died. IMHO people should know these facts. To not report them , is the press flat out lying to the American people, and pushing a false story.
It's also completely unfair of the press to ONLY allow her coverage and not other families of slain soldiers, Or those who have family members in Iraq, in harms way, for that matter.
The soldiers see this non-stop one-sided coverage of "Mother Sheehan" and write to their family wondering if America supports them anymore, or, if they are going to have a Viet Nam-like homecoming, and be spat on. (I've seen polls that show this is their biggest concern- Americans not supporting them)
They should not have to worry about this while they are in harms way. The efn press should be doing it's job giving "fair and balanced" coverage to the story. Instead of unfair and dishonest propaganda ,trying to deliberately sway the public's opinion against the war.
Not to nitpick, but the author of this piece is kind of dense.
Of course Cindy sent Tony the letter. It says so right there in the email at Bullyard:
From: SCINDY
@aol.com
To: ter
@mweb.co.th ; bullyard@googlegroups.com
I think this was more likely her husband's family that wrote the 'disclaimer'.
I hope that a veteran is waiting for her at the hospital with a tobacco jucie facial just like the one that Jane Fonda got. Cindy Sheehan is a modern day Jane Fonda.
Someone should send this women a Koran.....She is absolutely clueless as to why we are at war.....
Thanks for the ping!
Never heard of any of them except Drefuss, who hasn't had a big movie in years. I guest the C listers have nothing to lose.
I'd like to know when the sportscaster-turned-lefwting political commentator became a God of the libs. I remember Olbermann when he was a second-string sports newsreader in LA...
LOL! I was wondering the other day when someone would photoshop Cindy into that photo of the pancake girl.
Who is John Lucas?
