Are they friendly spirits?
This rubbish has finally hit our screens. I was thoroughly nauseated - she is the face of the whingeing, self-serving left, the liars who call their agenda "speaking truth to power". All I detect from her demeanour is that she is an ideologue that is trying to throw mud at President Bush - it is particularly despicable that she is wrapping herself in her son's burial shroud to do it. The young man deserved better.
Madam, if you're reading this - get the hell out of Texas. And don't come to Britain either.
Regards, Ivan
Did I miss the sarcasm tag?
Ugly on the outside and the inside. No wonder hubby filed for divorce.
I feel very sorry for Mrs. Sheehan. She is overwhelmed by her loss and her grief. She has lost her perspective, lost her grip on reality, and, I fear, lost her mind, as well. Put politics aside and look at her behavior and read her words. She is raging mindlessly against what most of us believe and believe in. She viciously attacks our government, our military and our president -- and her attacks are the frantic screamings of a frustrated child who doesn't yet understand that she is not the center of the universe and that almost all causes are bigger than hers. But, while she, herself, is terribly lost, those around her - those funding her vigil, supporting her bizarre claims, prompting her onward with vicious attack after vicious attack - those people are no humanitarians, no patriots, no honorable citizens. They know she is lost in in need of serious mental help (that may be why some otherwise silly liberals have backed off here), but her sponsors put their hatreds above her welfare. They will push her onward and onward like a tired pack mule - onward until she drops. Then, with little or no regret, they will find another to push their hateful burden forward, and the media, as usual, will form another bandwagon and all the usual 'useful idiots' will be back on our tv screens again.
How do we know that Judge John Roberts came from an 'all white' neighborhood and had an 'easy childhood'?
Oh, for Pete's sake. What a dumb$**. How hard is it to confuse "denying her the right to open her big fat yaptrap" with just plain "strongly disagreeing with her"?
I took it a bit differently. I took it as the boorish, sophomoric author seizing any opportunity to drop in a reference to paganism because it's just so utterly cool these days, and such a kewl way to dis the repressive white male christian president and the repressive white male military industrial complex he represents that "feeds off the blood of our children."
but, hey, maybe I'm being boorish and sophomoric.
bttt
It has nothing whatsoever to do with not being afraid to die at all.
You lefty lemmings just can't resist a good cliff, can ya, zotsnack?
Cindy Sheehan has been afforded the same freedom to express her whacked out views. Her son died for those freedoms and America is proud of him for his sacrifice.
Yet in 2005 America, to our alarming detriment, way too many people disagree.
We also have the same rights as Cindy to disagree. I finally heard Bill O'Rilly say something I agree with. "Cindy Sheehan has the right to say almost anything she wants but we have the right to disagree with what she says and many of us do!!."
You mean, she is just acting? She isn't smart enough to act that well, lol.
Ouch!
Ah, bot, botting, as in, "troll."
So obvious, isn't it? Ha...glad someone else is noticing...time to zot.
I think the whole point of Cindy Sheehan -- with Micheal Moore's and a pro-Palestinian "Peace" group's "help", among others -- is to DEMAND that which is ludicrous to begin with, to, in effect, draw out people.
It's like saying, "WHY can't I have your child? You DENY ME a child, everyone deserves a child, and yet you have two, so you denying me one of your children is UNFAIR, it's against CIVILIZED STANDARDS, because (tears, facial distortions, *small sotto voice*) NO ONE who is DECENT would DENY a woman A CHILD! You are a fascist! You are a cruel, arrogant fascist! Our country deserves better!..."
And on and on.
What is intended is to incite others, that sort of solicitation for an argument about an impossible, implausible and/or politically sensitive issue that can't ever be resolved (in this case, "war" and "peace") by any one meeting between two persons or otherwise, because of the mammoth dimensions involved with both issues and all perspectives possible, etc.
The PURPOSE of Cindy Sheehan, by Moveon.org, Michael Moore and all the rest who have made Cindy Sheehan possible to the media extent that she has been, is to solicit and incite. They WANT adverse arguement, they WANT disorder and even chaos, and worse, because even responding to Cindy Sheehan in issue or specifically immediately (to their view) makes a person an "attacker."
Cindy Sheehan, with the Arianna Huffington blog's help has so far written that EVERYONE who questions her, makes much of any mention of or about her unless they're among her group of ardent supporters, she has labelled EVERYONE as "attacking" her.
She'll continue on as long as she gets people to even point a camera her way, provide her webspace, whatever. While some feel sorry and such for Cindy Sheehan, I don't. NO one with grief at the loss of a child would use that child's memory and life complete for such self service, is my point. Sheehan is a user of the worst proportions and her demands to "meet/speak with President Bush" as everyone is easy to discern is not sincere, but continued usery, if not continued threat BY Cindy Sheehan.
Bush did meet with her at Bush's decision a while ago and the second meeting is mysteriously undefined as to need or purpose. I think had Bush met with her to any degree so far, Cindy Sheehan would still be out there doing what she's been doing because it's not the actual MEETING that is the objective, but the inciting of disorder that is.
Otherwise, to be clear here, why would Michael Moore even be involved? Why would Arianna Huffington? Why would MoveOn.org? Why would a proPalestine "peace" group be housing her? (NO, Cindy Sheehan is not habitating in a tent.) Why the media?
It's a ruse. ANY response is labelled inaccurately an "attack," and will continue to be so...by Sheehan and her creators. It's all usery, and it's disgusting.
Thanks fo sharing your insight.
