"Move America Forward"; then Back Ten Steps - What was accomplished?...
theOneRepublic Jounal ^ | 8/29/05 | Eric Hogue

Posted on 08/29/2005 12:26:43 PM PDT by ParsifalCA

Now that the nation has experienced the "Battle of the Moms" in Crawford, Texas, what have the organizers of Move America Forward (California Congressional hopeful Howard Kaloogian) accomplished with this high priced media caravan?

What did they accomplish, other than boosting Cindy Sheehan's media attention when her saga was growing old and cold. The folks at Move'on and "Sheehan Tent and Awning" should send Move America Forward a donation check...nothing better than 'un-efforted' attention from the press. Just get the name spelled right.

Has MAF produced a desired result for the military, for the citizens of this country, or have the founders of MAF created another attention grabbing 'stunt' for their web site and future political campaigns?

What argument has MAF funded with this latest stunt?

What ideological core value has MAF offered America? That a majority of Americans are for the war against terrorism, and a little under half of the citizens are not? Didn't we know this already?

Over the weekend, I heard numerous anchors recite the same tag line after returning from a 'live report' from Crawford, Texas. The studio anchor, or 'anchorette', would simple say, "Emotions are running high on both sides". And they are right.

This latest stunt has done nothing but create emotions...[more]

Baghdad Cindy Sheehan and the rest of her marxist America hating friends are all worthy of a tobacco juice facial just like Hanoi Jane Fonda got a few months ago:

I haven't a clue what you just said.

If you are calling Eric Hogue a member of the liberal media, you obviously don't know much about him

The press did not want the American public to see the numbers there or the clean and wonderful all out American way those good folks appeared.

That is ok.

OUR TROOPS ARE HEARING ABOUT IT>..PHOTOS ARE FLYING OVER THERE FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY and other ORGANIZATIONS showing them the wondrous counter-al sheehani in Cindistan's horrific theme.

And in just a few moments...Sean Hannity is going to have Melanie on to talk about our counter protest...that is about EIGHT MILLION folks who will hear of this event...a lot of folks who NEVER got to see or hear of it on the mainstream networks....and that means more folks turning to other news sources as they realize how they have been cheated by the press. GOOD!

No, the hysteric needs the slap.

And thank God there were a whole lot of fine, principled folks who were committed enough to deliver it en masse.

She does need a good, healthy SLAP in the form of strong, dedicated, grown-up, fully adult AMERICANS standing up to her bullshit and calling a spade a spade!

and the fact that he is from California

Don't start that here, please. I don't have the time for a verbal war, but if necessary I will.

WE WILL PREVAIL in this war on the enemy within.

If our fabulous, courageous, sacrificing troops in Iraq and Afganistan and around this world can do their jobs even as our press tries to discourage and deflat their efforts...

then WE can be their REAL supporters back in our cozy, safe homeland and FIGHT against this liberal, democrat, sick ENEMY within with all that we have.

We are the grassroots military at home....unarmed with weapons, but armed with words, actions and total disregard for the sad state of our lying liberal press.

Oh, so that's why Al Sharpton showed up at the same time?

That is precisely what they did in Germany in the '30's and early '40's. Are you of the opinion it worked to simply ignore the hysterics of one man?

I disagree! These people are traitors to everything this country represents to the world body. We have "ignored" them to the point that the MSM thinks they are the only news in town. Enough is enough!

Sean Hannity is still interviewing Melanie Morgan and several others regarding the counter protest in Crawford.

It is GREAT to hear these stories that the press denied all of Americans.

THANK YOU SEAN!

Check out a LEFTY LOONIES photos of Sheehan/Camp Casey/and US!

Don't tell the LOONIE but I loved this photo of this older gentleman with his oxygen tank standing at attention for the Troops. It made me proud that he attended the rally.

He is wondrous! What a heart warming photo! That is a man I would love to sit down with, over a knobb or wild turkey sour and shout the breeze with..no doubt about it.

Perhaps if we had had a few MAFs during the early part of Vietnam we might have prevented the anti-war movement from getting so entrenched.
