MSNBC reports " anti war protests in Crawford are being led by grieving
Mom. And that Mr Bush says " he also grieves for all who have sacraficed. " :wtf:
I could have sworn this woman went to Crawford to speak with Bush so that he could explain what he meant about her boy dying for a noble cause, and what exactly was that cause. If people joining her there just happen to be against the invasion, this now becomes an anti war protest ?
This is a perfect example of the MSM spinning for the White House.

I'm pulling my hair out ! ( all three strands):evilgrin:

1. Since when did MSNBC become the center of the media universe?
The best offense here is to ignore MSNBC and its "news" staff more than they ignore the real news and newsmakers. It's so clueless, it let Phil Donahue go when it could have built up a following and raised its ratings out of the gutter they've fallen into. It's hardly a network that matters to begin with. Don't flatter it with your attention. I bet Cindy Sheehan doesn't; she has lots of offers from far better networks.

2. Though I didn't see it ...
... and I have no doubt that they ARE spinning for the chimp and the evil cabal ...

There is power to language; if they referred to Cindy as a "grieving mom" that is a lot more powerful than referring to her as a "war protester" who's son was killed in Iraq.

(Ok, I really want to see this positively right now ----if I'm delusion just let me believe...)

4. Well I guess there could be
some sort of " unintended " value in the wording, still, it's amazing to watch the press completely surrender to the cabal.

5. *'s grieving will have more meaning
when he's by the graveside of his two daughters. Hell, I'll even accept attending a funeral or two -- and not of his blind-faith supporters. Until then, it's empty words coming out of an empty mind and a black heart.
