Site ask for " donors for...." Did she also ask for a driver, traveling makeup artist? These people have no shame, no ethics. Why is it that all these activist are all homely, loud-foul mouth, poorly dressed, and never make any sense. After to DC trip, maybe she'll disappear and be forgotten

"That sometimes involves breaking things. In an July 2001 interview with The International Socialist Review, Fithian who told NRO she's been arrested "probably at least 30 times" spoke of moving beyond the tradition of civil disobedience as practiced by Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.; her inspiration, she explained, was not so much those leaders as the anarchist movement in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th century. And that meant different ways of doing things. "Nonviolence is a strategy. Civil disobedience is a tactic," Fithian said. "Direct action is a strategy. Throwing rocks is a tactic."
Well, then, perhaps we should take her advice, and greet the infamous Squealing Cindy with a shower of rocks! Direct action, after all! Do stop sticks count? ;-)
Cindy Sheehan blew whatever moral currency she had due to her heroic son the second the focus of the "protest" became about her and not him. That was probably day 2. Once the Moveon.org flying monkeys came in and provided her with scripts for her appearances, that degenerated her cause into nothing more than an deluded, extremist, liberal primal scream.

I could probably send her a bar of soap. I imagine she's getting pretty ripe. In fact, I could send two. One to wash with and one for her mouth.

From The Political Teen's blogsite:

A few days ago I was browsing a Cindy Sheehan thread on
Free Republic that said someone should make a Sheehan video montage. To make a long story short, I went through all the video I had of Sheehan and took out clipworthy pieces. This is the result

"I guess my biggest thing is that as people who are trying to create a new world, I do believe we have to dismantle or transform the old order to do that," Fithian continued. "I just fundamentally don't believe it will ever serve our interests as it's currently constructed." And why would that be, Miss Lisa?
Would it be because most people don't want what you want?
They'd rather be in charge of their own lives? How DARE they!!!
Foaming nihilist!

That's a very telling paragraph. Very egalitarian of them, don't you think?

It's like these professional leftist agitators have the script all written and just need a leading lady.Very true.

...that degenerated her cause into nothing more than an deluded, extremist, liberal primal scream. That would be a "deluded, extremist, liberal fund-raising primal scream".
This whole affair is less about changing votes than it is opening wallets.

To anyone familiar with the world of professional protesting protests against globalism, capitalism, war, police tactics, and dozens of other causes the presence of Fithian is a sign of how far Cindy Sheehan has strayed from the roots of her "one mom" crusade against George W. Bush. Or, perhaps more accurately, it is a sign that the "one mom" crusade was never just one mom. Fithian is a legendary organizer who operates in the world of anti-globalism anarchists, antiwar protesters, and union activists; an advocate of aggressive "direct action" demonstrations, she protested the first Gulf war, played an important role in the violent shutdown of Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting, was a key planner in protests at the Republican and Democratic national conventions in 2000 and 2004, and organized demonstrations at trade meetings in Washington, D.C., Prague, and Genoa. The MSM has known for a long time that 'Grieving Mom Cindy' was a PR persona creation of the anti-war radical left.......but they ignored anti-gobalism anarchist Fithian's connection because they didn't want to 'taint' Cindy's image.
In the sixties because there was no internet to get out the truth....Hanoi Jane, Kerry , Kennedy; VVAW; etc. got away with their lies.
