Those Anti-War "Media Events"

Our media have given endless coverage to anti-Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan, but many news organizations ignored the views of the nation's largest veterans organization, the 2.7 million-member American Legion.

On August 23, delegates to its national convention vowed to support U.S. troops and the global war on terrorism. In a clear reference to the Cindy Sheehan media circus, Thomas P. Cadmus, national commander of The American Legion said that "public protests against the war here at home while our young men and women are in harm's way on the other side of the globe only provide aid and comfort to our enemies."

He called these "public media events" that are "guaranteed to be picked up and used as tools of encouragement by our enemies."

"For many of us," he continued, "the visions of Jane Fonda glibly spouting anti-American messages with the North Vietnamese and protestors denouncing our own forces four decades ago is forever etched in our memories

We must never let that happen again...

we thought the Jane Fonda of the Iraq War was going to be Bill Maher, who derided our troops as "low-lying Lynndie England fruit," ...

the Jane Fonda of Iraq is quickly becoming Cindy Sheehan, who, despite losing a son in the war, has referred to foreign terrorists in Iraq as "freedom fighters."

American Legion national commander Thomas P. Cadmus was correct when he referred to them as terrorists that "would slit the throats of every American, adult and child, if they could." That is what Cindy's son Casey was fighting against. The media which glorify her have lost all sense of reality. But at least we now understand whose side they're on.

Someone needs to shame the people who are giving false coverage to this witch. The most shameless part is that she is actively using her son's death to send a message that is 180 degrees to everything he believed and died for. It makes me ill.

This is not surprising at all. The media has always been liberally biased and therefore anit-war. Just look at some of the major names in the business. The media is also the reason why we lost the Vietnam War. After the tet invasion (which, by the way, was a great success for America and turned the tides in our favor) the media began to say that we were completely losing the war and that our efforts were getting us now where. So the people eventually demanded that pull out. I see an almost identical resemblance to this war.
