In an interview on Monday’s edition of “Democracy Now” on radical (and taxpayer-supported) Pacifica Radio, host Amy Goodman relayed listener questions to Cindy Sheehan on her self-pitying Withdrawal from Politics tour. We learned again that Sheehan will not run for office: “I have been asked by the Green Party to run for president, but, you know, that’s not anything that I want.” (Imagine what Hillary Clinton would try to do to a female third-party threat. Eek.)
It was funnier when Goodman passed along a question from left wing “PR Watch” guru John Stauber: “What is your opinion of MoveOn and the role it played in the recent congressional debate over war funding?” Sheehan found it hilarious that the “corporate media” would categorize MoveOn as part of the “antiwar left.” So where the devil on the ideological spectrum is it? She said:
“I know John Stauber. He has been struggling against MoveOn. I was really upset with MoveOn, and plus with the corporate media, who were characterizing MoveOn as the antiwar left in America, which was just really, for people who are on the inside know how hilarious that is. So I think that MoveOn has a lot of resources, and they should be trying to represent -- truly represent the opposition to, instead of being, you know, so tied in with the Democratic Party, to really represent the views of the left.”

Sounds like a plan to me.

May 31, 2007 - 08:22 ET by goldenthroatCould Sheehan's exit from the Demoncrats could have been orchestrated by the party itself because, golly gee whiz, maybe they have finally gotten fed up with her using them for her blatant self-promotion?
This reminds me of the end of "Disclosure" where Sanders tells Meredith "did it ever occur to you that maybe I set you up?" Could the Dems have done this to Cindy Sheehan?
Sheehan is clearly on an ego trip now and what she is doing has absolutely nothing to do with her son being killed in Iraq. She is no longer the poster girl for the left-coast, bleeding-heart, 'do as I say, not as I do' liberals and now she is picking up her toys and going home.
Hey, Cindy, I think Hugo Chavez will welcome you with open arms since no one in America gives a rip about you anymore.
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.

What a rocket scientist...
Here is an interesting article where the inside leftists are having tiffs from within...
Code Pink vs Moveon.
One of Sheehan's spokesman said she is just taking a break, she is really not done yet.
No kidding, she will do anything to get media attention, just like her pathetic letter of resignation.
Media Whore indeed....a simple leftist one at that.

Wait a minute! Cindy Sheehan has spokespeople? Talk about a job of total insignificance. Who could possibly feel so bad about themself they actually look up to Cindy Sheehan?

May 31, 2007 - 12:16 ET by MikeBMomma Moonbat doesn't think MoveOn is leftist? Well, maybe from her reference frame it isn't. After all, to the extreme left the far left is the right, and the middle is far right.

It's a wonder the moonbats don't have more cases of whiplash following their own twisted logic....
