Right Wing Watch - Rush Limbaugh on Cindy Sheehan |
|
For those interested, this is Rush's analysis on Cindy Sheehan's relationship to American Liberalism - pretty nasty stuff. " This is all about the fact that she's out there saying that the people at a couple of these websites will not let her post anymore because she's apparently being traitorous, running against Nancy Pelosi. You know, the people on the left who are getting tired of Cindy Sheehan, the epic narcissism, they created her. I think this is an example, folks, I'm being dead serious here, of the cruelty these people can exude. Here you have this woman who lost her son. Something's not right here. The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. You combine that with she's got some emotional problems, obviously. A PR firm in San Francisco pretty much set her up as this big critic and they used her. They used her as a tool. They put their words in her mouth. They may have been in her mouth anyway, she may have felt that, but they're the ones that built her up
. . . Now here usefulness to them has expired. They have chewed her up. Now they're spitting her out, and she doesn't like it. She liked fame. She liked all the cameras. She liked all the attention. She liked the fact that all the attention gave her an opportunity to spread the word in her cause and so forth, and she loved the fact that she was idolized. She loved the fact that she was made into a heroine. Now they discard her. And when she wants to go further and when she wants to take her cause to Congress, "Ah, wait a minute now, Cindy. This was never in the game plan." So now they're turning on her. We always hear about the love and compassion and the respect for humanity that people on the left have.
Cindy Sheehan, when all is said and done, is a sympathetic and pathetic figure." --> http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_071907/content/01125110.guest.htmlBryant Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com

1. WTF is that supposed to mean? |

I'm gonna get a bottle of bourbon and a shot glass, sit on my patio and read it. If I don't understand it, I'll take a shot then read it again. I'll keep drinking until I either understand it or fuckin pass out.

I seen many of the same sentiments, though worded a bit differently, posted time and again here at DU. Sad when DUers start parroting El Blimpo.

4. Well they have similar goals in some ways - to trash the Democratic Leadership |
|
Obviously for different motives - but same goal.

5. Actually I think that Cindy's goal is different |
|
She was working, as were/are many anti-war folks, to get the Democratic party to do the right thing and end the war. The party has thus far failed to do so, and looking increasingly unlikely that they will bring this about. I think Cindy and others are trying to goad the party leadership into doing the right thing. Rush on the other hand just trashes the party for fun and profit.

6. I said that their goals were different - or that's what i meant by motives |
|
But certainly Cindy Sheehan and other "anti-war folks" are willing to burn down the Democratic Party if they don't get what they want.
