News Story from Waco Paper

[Celebration]

Of course there are a ton of new news articles about Sheehan. WP just has a very snide article. Thought I would look up the nearest local story--Waco!!

The Waco article talks about her son-- WP (which I won't post here) barely even mentions that she had a son that died in Iraq, and concentrated on the pr aspects.

And to think that Waco and Texas were RED and DC BLUE.

Here is just a small excerpt from the Waco paper

The Drudge Report seemed to contradict Sheehan's latest stand. However, the Drudge Report post lifted quotes without context, which included discussion between Sheehan and her husband, Pat, on whether they should ask Bush critical questions about the war. In the end, they demurred out of respect for the office of the president.

In subsequent interviews, Sheehan has said she was angered by how the president wouldn't refer to her by name, but by calling her “Mom,” and that he acted as if he were at “tea party” at an event that featured other families who had lost children in Iraq.

On Tuesday, the editor of the Vacaville Recorder invited people to read the original article before rushing to judgment. Editor Diane Barney in an op-ed piece dismissed the notion that Sheehan has flip-flopped on her opinion of Bush or the war.

“We don't think there has been a dramatic turnaround,” Barney wrote. “Clearly, Cindy Sheehan's outrage was festering even then.”

2. Take heart Texaslady, there are a lot of us out here in the Red state of

Texas.

Hmmm I remember when being Red was worse than being dead.

Yeah! Let's dig out those McCarthy era bumper stickers! Better dead than red!
