2. Matt DFrudge claims to have an Email from Sheehans family
So why the hell would they contact Matt Drudge instead of a real media source if they want Cindy to stop.

http://www.drudgereport.com/flashcs.htm


The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:

Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks Ð Cherie

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.

3. not verbatum, but best i could do
known as war protest mom...says shes not gonna leave

LIVE
thanks for inviting me

pres comments...about not pulling troops

Cindy sending signal
Cindy: he * feels compassion but i have 7 gold star families out here who want to speak with us, why doesn't he come speak to us

62% think war was a mistake and want to pull out

CNN: you met with pres soon after your son's death, why are you now changing story?
CINDY: that was only 9 weeks after my son's burial
I was in a state of shock and grief, and then the realization of the war being based on lies

i'm still in grief, not in shock, i'm angry and others are angry
why are people still over there?

CNN: Anti-Cindy e-mails sent to CNN - why should people support you?

expect pres to meet with me, he works for us, he should meet with every family who wants answer. I have a ticket to anywhere in this country, that ticket is the blood of my son!

She also said she'd be there for a month and to contact her again.

DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THIS AS QUOTES!!!!

8. CNN said they are getting "anti-Cindy" emails?
Did they really say that? What about all the emails they received in support of her? Did they mention those?

21. My point is that if that's even a remotely decent paraphrase...
CNN is being pretty harsh to Cindy in the interview.

I'm certainly not holding you to an exact standard.

16. Fairly lengthy coverage/interview
Sorry I'm too absorbed in it to type up any of her remarks, but it's quite positive. She's getting a LOT of chance to talk -- had a chance to say what she told Hadley and Hagin ("I may be a grieving mom, but I'm not stupid. I don't think you even believe what you're saying.")

VERY good. Now Ron Reagan is reiterating what Americans are feeling: 62% against, war was unnecessary, Bush hasn't been honest with us, Bush has lost credibility, etc.

17. Well that was quick.
But at least they talked about it. Wolf asked Cafferty "didn't Bush meet with her once before?" Cafferty said "yes". That was it. But they didn't say it was with several other mothers, he didn't talk to them separately.

Disinformation!

18. msnbc interview
Support continues

He is on vaca for 5 weeks i don't underst and why he cant take an hour to see somebody whose life he's devastated....

LIVE

C: i don't know what he's been thinking, i don't want to speculate

MSNBC: what do you want to say? what do you think he'd say

C: i want to ask thim the noble cause, has he encouraged his daughters to replace troops on their 3rd TDY

MSNBC: * says we have to complete the mission

C: i don't wan my son's honor to complete the mission, i want it to bring the troops home

MSNBC: I MISSED THIS QUESTION something about shouldn't she be angry with the terrorists who took her son's life and not *

C: terrorists didn't take his life he was only killed because we are an occupying force

MSNBC: Why has your position changed since you first met with *

C: Read the whole story, my position hasn't changed, its become more clarified because of DSM...no WMD's where were those reports before my son died

MISSED SOME STUFF HERE

C: i love those kids over there, i don't want anyone else to suffer

MSNBC: unlikely for * to come meet you but you did meet woth steven hadley

C: yes and also joe hagan, it amazes mem that he didn't know i met with *, they didn't know til saturday

C: i might be a grieving mom, but i'm not stupid. you don't look stupid, you don't look like you believe what youre telling me

MSNBC: are you associated with Michael Moore and moveon.org...

C: I did a commercial with moveon. did know michael moore. there is a blog on his site. this is my vision, there's nothing wrong with the anti war movement. any group that's anti war can come down here

MSNBC: do you feel used? are you using each other

C: i feel they're helping me. one goal , to bring the troops home; we're on the same page, anti war

MSNBC: do you think what youre doing is helping the cause

C: Yes, helping. 62% think war is a mistake this is giving them a way to stand up and be counted

C: public response is overwhelming, coming from all over the world


Crawford Peace House...mentioned...no DU

MSNBC: Condolences for your loss.
