The Kos Kidz must be so happy to have a diarist named Cindy Sheehan in their company. Of course, oddly enough, many of them are actually to her left politically.
Regardless, Sheehan’s most recent post at Daily Kos displayed her usual reverence for the office of the President of the United States and all things conservative…NOT!
Her real hatred was directed at Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, culminating with a plea for left-minded people to boycott his sponsors.
As such, let me warn readers: Proceed with caution. You are about to enter a No Logic Zone (h/t LGF), emphasis added throughout):
A recent Harris Poll indicated that only 22% of Americans support George’s war of terror. I suspect that the less than one-fourth of our country who are still in favor of the hopeless mess BushCo has tragically involved the USA in get all of their "news" from Fox News.
I’m not sure what Harris Poll Sheehan was talking about, as the Harris website indicates that the organization hasn’t done a poll dealing with terrorism so far this year. Yet, according to PollingReport.com, 45 percent of Americans approved of the President’s handling of the war on terrorism in an April CBS News poll. This is similar to the results of a Newsweek survey conducted at the end of March which also identified a 45 percent approval rate.
As is typical, facts are irrelevant for these folks.
Regardless, Sheehan was just getting warmed up:
So far, I have ignored this and stayed above the Fox news defamation of my character. It would not take a moral giant the equivalent of a Mother Teresa to stay above Fox NewsI . They have no conscious or credibility. I can’t think of many people lower than Fox News, their employees and frequent neo-con contributors as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, William Kristol, etc.
It appears that Sheehan’s motto, much like her followers, is “So much hate, so little time.”
Yet, that was only the beginning, for Sheehan then really set her sights on Bill O’Reilly, eventually calling for a boycott of his sponsors:
The person who isn’t misinformed though, is Mr. Bill O’Reilly. If he had a conscious, he should be ashamed of leading 22% of this country astray. The Jesus of Fox News thinks it is okay to kill innocent people for profit, but my Jesus said: "woe to he that causes one of the little ones to stumble. It would be better for that person to tie a millstone around his neck and be sunk in the depth of the sea." (Mt 18:6) O’Reilly and the rest of the bad shepherds at Fox News are thankfully seeing their flock decline, but they are abrogating their responsibility to inform their viewers properly and are making a mockery out of objective reporting.
[….]
It is not because of his public libel of me, I have often found his weird attraction to me a little humorous and very sad, but because of G.I. Joe, I am calling for a boycott of every sponsor of Bill O’Reilly’s show. When his empty spin zone is shut down, hopefully the rest of the purveyors of Bush propaganda will get the message.
I’m verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

May 4, 2007 - 20:03 ET by pocomocoSheehan is nothing more than a hand-puppet for the left.
In issuing demands, Sheehan shows how far she’s bought into the left’s phony adoration of her. However, after the 2008 elections they will have squeezed all they could get out of her and she will be abandon faster than Bill Clinton’s latest bimbo.

She will be abandoned, as you say, very quickly.

May 4, 2007 - 20:26 ET by c5thenin her intellectual grasp of reality. The numbers show 45% in favor of the hanfling of the War on terror. Fox consistently out performs their competition of Cable News channels in viewership. And what about all the liberal contributors and personalities on FOX, like Allan Colmes, Geraldo Revera, Dick Morris, Juan Williams, Mara Liason, etc. Are they are "low" too, Cindy?
I suspect that she will have as much success with this as she did trying to get in to see the President for a second time because she'd changed her mind and realy wanted to blame somebody for her son's death other than those directly responsible for it, and was told by George Soros and MoveOn that George W. was the best target.
Hey Cindy, In order for all your adoring followers to know which sponsors they are going to have to boycott, they are going to have to watch Bill's show. That should add significantly to his ratings and make even more sponsors want to be boycotted by your teeming throngs.

More about Cindy...
May 4, 2007 - 21:37 ET by goldenthroatAt an anti-war "rally" at Kent State University, this left-coast, bleeding-heart, 'do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do' liberal is quoted in Akron Beacon Journal as saying " I wish college students cared enough about what's going on in Iraq and in our country to be as committed as the students were in 1970...I think we need a new revolution." (Read the full article at www.ohio.com.)
Yeah right, Cindy. Your idea of a revolution involves the enemies of America like Hugo Chavez and others who call our president the 'devil' and you demonstrate no shame by shmoozing with them every chance you get. Makes me wonder where you get all this money to travel to visit with these socialist, left-wing, wack jobs? Why don't you come clean as to how you're financing these junkets?
And, by the way Cindy - your son Casey wasn't forced to join the Army - he CHOSE to go into the Army. He chose to die for his country and all you do is besmerch his effort and that of others who are defending the freedoms of nut-jobs like you to get on your idiotic liberal soapboxes and criticize anything and everything about America.
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.

May 4, 2007 - 21:43 ET byGT
Let me say this is opinion only (no documentation) but based on Casey's volunteering and other comments i've heard, Cindy knows what her son stood for and has chosen to act in opposition to her son's viewpoint. She has done so in his name? It's a pathology.

Oh, Mother
Oh Mother, Oh Mother,
What have you done?
You‘ve damaged the strides
That we have won
You have spoken in public
And defamed our hard gains,
We have fought for so hard
With troops, tanks and planes
We left home and family
To fight for the rights
Of a beleaguered people
To have peace and sleep nights
I risked all I was
And not for great fame,
And now your sad efforts
Are bringing me shame
I guess you have chosen
To pay little note
To the fact those people
Just cast their first vote
And now as lie here
Asleep in my grave,
I ask you to think of
Those I did save
And honor my memory
And my life, don’t you see
That I paid this great price
So that others are free
Oh Mother, Oh Mother
What have you done?
Oh, please be quiet
Until all is won.

Noel-- I am fortunate--
May 4, 2007 - 23:49 ET by misterbillNoel-- I am fortunate--my Dad and my older brother made it through WW2 with no damage. My Dad had to get a letter of permission from my Mom because he was in his late 30's and had 5 children. I was only 8 years old but I remember him saying to my Mom--"Louise, I have to go, it's my duty." He made my older brother promise to stay and be the man of the house. My brother broke that promise and went to the South Pacific with the Marines. I served in Korea. My nephew Robert Sidonio, was , and still may be Connecticut's most decorated veteran. He left the seminary and did three tours of duty in 'Nam. He had his copter shot from under him and was wounded , lost friends and some crew and volunteered for two more tours. His brother John is also a retired Army copter pilot. God bless him and all the others who gave so much and were subjected to derision by those who haven't the courage to fight for their country.
Sorry to go on so long---I just respect the hell out of our fighting guys and gals.

PS there was no "finish" line to Sir Walters verse. I have added it under for your reading pleasure. (Marmion)
Fitz-Eustace' heart felt closely pent;
As if to give his rapture vent,
The spur he to his charger lent,
And raised his bridle hand,
And, making demi-volte in air,
Cried, 'Where's the coward that would not dare
To fight for such a land!'
The Lindesay smiled his joy to see; 635
Nor Marmion's frown repress'd his glee.

Well, I have personal reasons for the addendum. I have a nephew about to be sent to Iraq. I feel closer to him than to his parents for a number of reasons that are at this point irrelevant, so much so that his parents would be honored by me saying so. They both recognize my strong feelings for their son, and duly respect it.
I'm not sure what their politics are, although I believe them to be conservative. However, I don't think they are Bush supporters at this point in time. Yet, their respect for their son, and his devotion to his country, and his president, is awesome.
I was back in Texas earlier this month for my father-in-law's 80th birthday party. On that weekend, I spent a great deal of time with my nephew, his wife, and his proud parents. It was especially humbling to see the pride in my sister-in-law's face as she watched her son, my nephew, speak of his training, and his future mission.
Our nation was built by people like my nephew, and parents like my brother and sister-in-law, who were capable of being selfless, and sacrificing all they had for a cause.
Somehow, this has been lost in our society. I wish I could understand when this happened, and why. ns
I do not know what has happened, but
May 5, 2007 - 00:35 ET by misterbillI do not know what has happened, but I have many ideas. It may seem like long time ago to younger people, but in my day, songs were about love not about ni**as and hos. No one sang(?) about shooting a cop. Last night, in a sentimental mood (Title of a beautiful old song) I posted the word from a rap song and from a love song titled "So Far". The differences are startling and scary. "We haven't walked by night and shared the light of a star." Sorry, just had to put that in there. My wife tells me I am an incurable romantic. She said that kids today would never like the old music. Sadly, I agree with her.
But let me paint a scenario for everyone--a soldier comes back to camp..another day, another mission. A good day, they all came back in one piece.
Now he turns on the music and this is what he hears:
This is why I’m hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, nigga gimme what you got
I’m in there driving cars
Push them off the lot
I’m into shutting stores down so I can shop

The soldiers next to him puts on his earphones and plays a song on a CD that his wife sent to him. It goes like this:
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.
*I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up from *.)
I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.
Oh, the memories---when America was mostly in tune. My war is known as "The Forgotten War". Well, I haven't forgotten it and I still remember a whole lot about it even though it was more than 50 years ago.

Noel, I hope your nephew realizes that there are many here who support him and his fellow soldiers as well as the mission they have been tasked with, and whether or not we always agree with some of the tactical decisions of President Bush, we will not turn our backs on them or their mission, as, sadly, so many have chosen to do.
As I am nowhere near the profound wordsmith misterbill is, I will just say may God watch over them all and return them safely to us once victory has been acheived.

May 5, 2007 - 12:06 ET by exLibI find it particularly disturbing that Sheehan quotes scripture to point out the failing of the GOVERNEMENT and the MEDIA.
Last time I checked we weren't a Theocracy, so when talking about "shepherds" I don't think it applies to a Government that has become increasingly secular as well as referencing a Media that is > 90% secular.
Blasphemy. I found an article somwhere saying that Sheehan has been speaking in Churches, ultra-liberal ones, across American. Very Sad indeed, since The Bible explicitly commands us to repect the leaders in our country, and she clearly doesn't.
