Priorities, Priorities - the Cindy Sheehan situation

Is that not the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen? The lady actually said that BUSH ACTED LIKE IT WAS A PARTY!!!!!!! What the hell does that mean. Was he dancing, boozing, and shooting sparklers all over the place?

This lady is disrespecting her own son with this...

 

Rex, you and Mystikalilusion have been absent in the later part of this argument, is there a reason???

 

i can imagine my mom might lose her sanity if i was killed, but i would hope the rest of the world would not use her loss of sanity as a political statement.

 

They are on the phone with Michael Moore to get a response ... be patient. :hihi:

 

Tis my nature.

I drop a post like it was a couple grenades in a ditch, then get out of dodge like the scared little liberal I am.

I do appreciate the people who pointed our the earlier conversation between the two, as I didn't catch wind of that. Does make it a little more interesting (or not interesting at all, depending on viewpoint.)

 

I repeat... she said NEITHER of those things.

Where in the article you posted are the words "great man"?

Where in the article you posted are the words "he made us feel wonderful"?

What you posted is an interview by a mother whose son was just killed, who decided to take the high road with an interviewer out of respect for the office. In time, as she found out more about Bush's heinous deceptions, she felt more obliged to let loose with some of the truth. The Vacaville newspaper says that Drudge took her words out of context... that she expressed a lot of unhappiness with George Bush at the time. Great man, my ass.

This is all quite sleazy. Rightwingers want to slime this mother who lost her son, and truncate and take the words she said while in shock out of context. Where's the scrutiny of George Bush's words? Of his 16 word lie about Niger uranium? About his "no doubt" about Saddam WMDs? About Saddam "reconstituting his nuclear weapons program?" About "mission accomplished"? About "Bring 'em on"?

You should be ashamed, but I know you're not. You have no shame. If you did, you'd either be criticizing George Bush instead of a poor mother, or joining in the war you advocate.

 

if we can accept that she took the high road and didnt really represent what happened, why cant we accpet that she took the low road when she reverseed her stance? she is only honest when being anti-bush?

i dont want to slime anyone or take anyone out of context. like i said, she is perfectly justified for going crazy and reversing herself and camping out and generlly being a lunatic.

i guess if you cant get enough mileage out of this woman's ravings, you change the subject.

totally irrelevant.

i will tell you how to analyze this story without being an idiot. a woman is justifiably sad, which has driven her to kinda go crazy and reverse her stance on bush and try to find some solace in media-whoring and making a spectacle of herself. all of which is perfectly ok, many people have weird ways of dealing with loss. i figure we leave her alone and not make her a politcal play-toy for our sides.

 

So President Bush should meet with the family of every soldier or government employee that dies while he's in office? Good thing the quacks didn't get this kind of attention after WWII. The White House would STILL have a line outside.

And agree w/ martin...she's got every right to be crazy. But that doesn't give everyone else the right to take advantage of her for pitiful political gains.

 

My personal opinion is that Cindy Sheehan is a publicity seeking media whore who's looking to cash in on her son's death. But, that's just me.

 

wow, that's pretty brutal there chief. . .

he got wacked his FIFTH day in Iraq. . . christ. . .
