How come no one points out that the people accusing Cindy Sheehan...
...of a "political agenda" are actually, in fact, the most partisan, political, and extreme people in America?

How come the rightwing hacks of this country feel perfectly comfortable using their media access to try and discount what others have to say by branding it "political"?

By that logic, the Bill O'Reillys, Karl Roves, Ken Mehlmans, and on and on should never be allowed to say anything on any subject ever again.

Pot, kettle--black.

Why are their smears simply repeated? Why isn't the TRULY fringe extremism and knee jerk partisanship of these "accusers" ever brought up?

5. Apparently the difference is this:
When you make a living promoting a political agenda, it's okay to speak out. When your son dies as a result of a political agenda, it's taboo.

8. Exactly. Every time we hear a pundit say that, we need to repsond with
"how much do you get paid per year for pushing a political agenda?"

11. To the contrary, I have been telling people this:
"Damn right she's pushing a political agenda. One in which 19 year old kids don't get their arms and legs blown off for no fucking reason. A noble political agenda indeed."
