Come On Networks - Wake Up!!!!
As I told you all earlier I was away for the last few days but as I return and look around the net and listen to some of the talking heads that substitutes for our news media, I see the same crap is still going on. Fox is still degrading Cindy with the help of the usual suspects of O'Reilly, Drudge, Man Coulter and of course the mouth that roared Rush Limbaugh. That's fine, it is nasty but we expect no less from that bunch. What is really pissing me off is the network news talking heads. Every damn one of them say the same thing. Cindy is a puppet of the left, Cindy is a tool of the anti-war movement. Are these people reading the same script?
You know Cindy has been accused of having "handlers" well I am glad she does have someone coaching her on how to respond and handle these misfits. I can tell you one thing though, I doubt very damn much they are telling her what to say. This woman strikes me as having a mind of her own, and NO ONE will tell her what to say and do.She is acting through a Mothers' love, and that is something no handler can teach In fact, spontaneous rallies of support were seen in many cities across America last night. Cindy didn't call for those. They happened because the people are fed up with the lying and cheating that has gone on by this Administration in their quest for oil and staging bases in Iraq.
This is a group of supporters who have decided for themselves to come to Crawford to support her in her cause. There was no planning of an anti-war protest here, it was nothing more than a rallying point where the anti-war people joined the cause. If they didn't know what the cause was, Cindy told them in no uncertain terms. This is about Casey, this is about a mother losing her son. This is about ALL mothers who have lost sons.The reason these rallies are springing up, and the reason why so many are choosing to join Cindy in Crawford is because the public is finally waking up to the fact that this Administration cannot answer that one simple question that Cindy wants to ask King George.
What was the "noble cause" that Casey and every other lost family member died for. The answer received is deafening silence. If we had any type of legitimate news media they would be asking the same damn question instead of trying to dimish this wonderful womans' work by linking it to handlers or the anti-war coalition in every news story about her.
UPDATE
Cindy's mother had a stroke today and she has left Camp Casey.Cindy Sheehan told reporters she had just received the phone call and was leaving immediately to be with her 74-year-old mother at a Los Angeles hospital. "I'll be back as soon as possible if it's possible," she said. After hugging some of her supporters, Sheehan and her sister, Dede Miller, got in a van and left for the Waco airport about 20 miles away.I don't know how much more this poor woman can take. Unfortunately, I fear it won't be long until the smear machine that is the conservative right-wing will no doubt use this as yet another excuse to belittle her or say it is HER fault this happened to her mother. IMO, they should look in the mirror and ask themselves if just maybe some of the horrible things they have been saying about her daughter may be the cause. More on Cindy's mom is available HERE.... |
