Cindy the topic on Meet the Press!
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 01:06 PM by Generic Other
They are trying to denigrate her suggesting she is a radical. They quoted her call with Joe Trippi where she said the internet is what has saved us from becoming a fascist state. She said the press was the tool of the government. That really po'd them. Radical. Out of the meanstream. BLAH BLAH BLAH... They did play her ad.

3. True or not, the press needs to realize legit. people believe this.
And WHY do people believe this? It's not a thought that just popped up- the press got us into this war as much as Bush did.

More & more Ma & Pa types are turing off the news too.

4. she is a radical
and that is a good thing, when it is on the left. Everybody on the right is a radical too, but they are never described as such with that snide tone that the press loves to use against the left.

And she is out of the mainstream...she has stepped into the rapids of a raging river of changing US opinion regarding the war and our so-called noble cause for going there.

5. If it takes being radical to get the attention of the press then so be it!
Cindy is successfully doing what none of our so-called Democratic leaders have been able to do...get the attention of MSM by telling the truth and calling Bush a liar to his face.

6. Boo hoo... cry me a river
They need to get off of their arses and do their job instead of attacking a mother that lost her son because of this illegal war. She has every right to voice her concerns.

Sigh, will the real Journalist please stand up! Only on the Internet it seems...

7. Cindy has mainstream support. But is not mainstream herself.
If the majority of Americans had suffered Cindy loss and endured the arrogance of Bush concerning her loss. Basically, Yes I killed her son with a lie. Now she owes me. So what has she done for "The Family" today? Bush would have been dragged from the White House Kicking, Screaming, and Crying like Jim Baker a long time ago.

8. I saw that!
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 01:18 PM by indie_voter
I couldn't believe the way the right wing tool incredulously said his piece about the media being a tool of the government. A 'can you believe she thinks that?' attitude.

Uhhh, wake up idiot (right wing tool, not you!), "mainstream" america is starting to see this. Watch the Daily Show someday.

9. MTP is for the Washington Insiders to praise themselves.
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 01:20 PM by Pithy Cherub
Cindy has exposed there heresy and makes it fashionable to talk about the failures of the press corps from the inception of the stupid War and its idiotic implementation. One of the press's proud iconic members, Judy is in prison for not stating who a criminal is and what felonies she witnessed. The MTP crowd is now becoming aware that they are no longer agenda setters. This cognitive dissonance is producing some self-rightoues behavior worthy of republicans.

Now Mrs. Cindy Sheehan, who has pure moral authority is properly using it to nail their sorry asses to the lunacy of hypocrisy! Please keep speaking up & out and sitting in that ditch Cindy, the press can no longer afford NOT to or your cause cover you any longer.

Go Cindy!:yourock::bounce:

11. THE REAL STORY!
Bush's Neocon puppet masters think an end to war is a radical concept. I guess they want to replace capitolism with war profiteering. Bad news Military Mom's and Dad's. Your kids aren't comming home until every last dollar on earth is in the neocons pockets.
