This is it folks.
It's all coming to a head. The only obstacle right now is the MSM not coverin (read: studiously avoiding). Its kinda funny, because the only mention I saw of Cindy in the last hour was on FOX and MSNBC; where they had some guy on with the RW talking points. They're spelling their own doom. It's collapsing in on them. If a mother of a DEAD IRAQI SOLDIER is ARRESTED and on live TV I'm telling ya; beginning of the end. Quickly. I don't want Cindy to go through more hell than she already has, but I think it just may work....
Push the media, I am. I can see the faint glimmer at the end of the tunnel,can you???

1. Combine this with *'s second arrogant recess appt in one week
and I pray you're right. He's overreaching on one hand and slapping the common man with the other. What went around had BETTER SOON COME AROUND ...

I don't believe they have any qualms about arresting her. the RW echo chamber will try to shred and besmearch Cindy somehow, someway. Hopefully people will see throught it. :shrug:

5. I really think they will
even if we can get the MSM to only give us a snippitl I think it might be enough until after/during the arrest. Even if they just show that it will probably be enough. Can you imagine what that image would evoke???

3. And add in the blustering from Bushco about WMD's in Iran, and
I think people will say ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT. It would really help if the ACLU could get the torture pictures out to the public by the end of the week. That would seal it.

4. One of my coworkers
who isn't political, talked to me today about how terrible it was that Bush wouldn't talk to "that poor mother who lost her son". We talked today about the war, and he said it was all a farce and based on lies! Usually when I start talking politics, he walks out, but today he started it and said all this. The people are waking up!

6. I'm telling ya...
this is gonna be the straw. Nothing could be better than one of the people; no one trusts the politicans or pays attention to what they are doing. This is the best way for this to happen.

9. That nut still has time to crack.
It will be telling. I think they just may cut and go with the story but it will probably be last minuite. If enough ppl get down there with her; that will help. I know it sounds bad, but if ONE DEMOCRATIC OFFICIAL would go it would really help. Increase the chances of coverage; visit and leave.

10. They can't ignore this story forever.
Today there are 50 people down there with her. Soon there will be 500. Maybe 5,000 sometime after that. At some point, they'll have to suddenly start covering the story.

11. She also represents an organization
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 06:59 PM by firefox
John Conyers points out in his interview with Ed Schultz that she is not just a mother that lost a son. She represents the Gold Star Families for Peace. See this DU thread- http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1997498

12. It's going to be a defining moment if she's arrested on live TV
And most likely the tipping scale of W's empire. We know, she knows it, even the Freepers know it, too.

It's going to be a flashpoint to everything that's gone on in the past 5 years.
