But that’s the thing about these ephemeral protests, sometimes something dramatic does happen. Sometimes Rosa Parks wants to sit in the front of the bus. Sometimes middle aged ladies keel over and die from heatstroke in the hot Texas sun. Maybe a whole bunch of runaway blonde white girls will get eaten by sharks over the next few weeks, or maybe this story will go on and on, bleeding the president, and inspiring a nation. There’s no way to tell yet.
Well, I agree with not paying any taxes…so I agree with Sheehan on that one. But does she even have a job back home she has to worry about? Or is she being supported by the Soros/Move-On whackjobs? Is she taking money from Michael Moore, by any chance? Oh well. Anyway, I’ll bet if those Deadhead hippie losers had jobs…they’d also vow not to pay any taxes!
Seems to me, Mrs Sheehan’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Jebus! Could it finally be happening? Are Americans finally waking up to the nightmare that is the Bush Administration? For your sake – and ours – I surely hope so.
It is true that I have seen supporters talking about bringring our troops home right now, but that is not the focus of the protest. Alowing Bush and others to say that cut and run is the focus of the protest, is swallowing their misdirecting BS, the focus is the lack of serious answers on why we got there, Mrs Sheehan has driven millions of Americans to demand answers for questions that the eunuchs in Congress and the mainstream media never ask.
:smack: Ignore that last paragraph. I read the article backwards, and then didn’t notice until clicking submit. Maybe the release of Yaqoubi will have a positive effect.
The group that she cofounded has this as one of their goals, per CNN:
Saying that “bring the troops home now” in NOT part of her message to Bush is simply not true. She has repositioned herslef from grieving mom to war prtotestor. The fact that people focus on the latter is a function of her actions, not on some spin by Bush supporters.
No big. What I found telling from your link is what follows:
– bolding mine –
No claims to Ms Cleo-like paranormal insights, but it’s hardly a stretch to predict – hell, never mind predict, agree with official assesments – that the mostly Sunni-backed insurgency will only harden if railroaded out of the political process. What have they got to lose? Besides everything they had by not resisting of course.
Not that sectarian/tribal strife should come as any surprise in a country largely created by cartographers and held together by Western-backed dictators.
She has her opinions, which should be given a respectful listen. She also has her loss, which deserves sympathy. But neither of these things give her any absolute moral authority to proclaim what is true here.
After all, there are thousands of families like hers, many of whom politically or morally support the President. Are their opinions invalidated by the existence of Cindy Sheehan?
I will never deny her her right to protest, nor will I call her wrong for feeling the way she feels. It is my right not to agree, though, and I don’t think her demands are reasonable ones.
President Bush has met with her, and there are other families who haven’t had this opportunity. I hope he makes an effort to see as many of them as he can. Given the efforts he’s made in the past to do this, I’m sure he will.
A fake new article. Wow, that really proves EXACTLY what FoxNews would have done to Rosa Parks and celarly shows that your thesis is stunningly correct. Good job, blog-boy.
This thread has gone on for four pages now, and still rjung hasn’t bothered to actually back up his specific claims about O’Reilly and Drudge smearing Sheehan.
On page two, John Mace correctly points out that the two of them have done no such thing. rjung responds with a bunch of unrelated cites to blogs and simply repeats his false assertion stating "And that’s not even counting the stuff from Drudge and O’Reilly et al from earlier this week."
Now, on page four of the thread: rjung. Would you care to actually back up your (false) claims that O’Reilly and Drudge have been smearing Cindy Sheehan?
