CINDY CALLS FOR 'ISRAEL OUT OF PALESTINE'; VOWS NOT TO PAY TAXES |

BUSH PROTESTING MOM CALLS FOR 'ISRAEL OUT OF PALESTINE'; VOWS NOT TO PAY TAXES
Anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, whose soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq, is calling for Bush's "impeachment," and for Israel to get out of Palestine!
"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism," Sheehan declares.
Sheehan, who is asking for a second meeting with President Bush, says defiantly: "My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004. You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny...you give my son back and I'll pay my taxes. Come after me (for back taxes) and we'll put this war on trial."
"And now I'm going to use another 'I' word - impeachment - because we cannot have these people pardoned. They need to be tried on war crimes and go to jail."
The 48-year-old California mom remains tented up in a ditch along the one-lane road that leads to Bush's Texas ranch.
As her protest entered its second week, hundreds of people with conflicting opinions about the war in Iraq descended on the area.
TIME mag reports in new editions on Monday: Sheehan gets support from her surviving son, Andy, in principle, but he recently sent her a long e-mail imploring her, "to come home because you need to support us at home."

3. Do you think Drudge posted it this way |
|
so as to divide the progressives? I know there are differences of opinions among some DUers about the first issue mentioned. I sure hope that her opinion on this matter doesn't make any DUer decide not to support her. After all, we are supporting her because of her stand on making Bush accountable for Iraq.

Oh, but Matty, I mean Andy! She's fighting them over there so she doesn't have to fight them at home!

8. This is the 3rd time this has been posted here. What is it about Drudge |
|
that some people find credible?
All I can think of when I see or hear his name is the 8 year Clinton witchhunt he participated in. He's a mouthpiece for the RWers and should be banned from DU. IMCPO

14. don't you know this violates the rules on threads about cindy |
|
Every thread must be a doppelganger thread, and if the thread isn't showing Cindy in a light of absolute 100% goodness, the thread must never see the light of day.
I think it's rule #42 in the du list of rules or something.

If you dont support her and buy into the right wing spin an dthe taking out of context go on ahead.
For what its worth I've seen many pro Cindy threads get dissapeared today and just as many posts that defend her get deleted. The boat does rock both ways ...

it seems that any thread that even dares criticize the whole situation as it is now is lampooned, the poster attacked, and the substance of the thread completely ignored. Someone got banned on DU for posting a letter Cindy's relatives sent, and it was fucking true. Some people may not be actively supporting her, but they do want to stay informed.

22. Sounds like she is saying occupation is wrong no matter who does it. |
|
The bit about her son was callous and heartless and probably as taken out of context as Cindys' statement regarding Palestine, though I'm sure that wont stop the circular firing squad.

Matt Drudge has proven himself to be both RW partisan and biased in the past. Moreover, quite recently, he deliberately misquoted Ms. Sheehan in an effort to make her look hypocritical.
This is more of the same.
