1. I hope they put her in a good light, I love them for helping Cindy & Us

It is about time something good happen for us.

:kick:

7. A very favorable report, I think:

"Cindy Sheehan is dug in. . .From her small tent city near the Bush ranch, she's become the soft spoken voice of the antiwar movement, with the moral high ground of a mother who lost her soldier son in Iraq."

[tuvor]

2. Kick!

Great stuff!

[TexasLady]

3. Even Laura wont be good enuff..

ptttttt!!!!!!!!!

[Bumblebee]

4. It was pretty good, and Cindy was great, as always.

[Bumblebee]

11. Craig Crawford (cute coincidence) was interviewed,

and said one cannot imagine a worse PR nightmare for B.

[latebloomer]

5. My video isn't working

but that is EXCELLENT news!!

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

6. I watched it, it does put her in a good light

seems to make * look like the idiot that he is, for not having the gumption to meet with her!

[faithnotgreed]

8. ill kick for that

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. Gotta love it, but they are deliberately missing the point! It isn't just

to meet with him, it is to ask him about what "noble" cause. About all of the lies that killed her son!

[Cha]

10. Thanks I got to see most of it

before it started "buffering" ..not to come on again.

But, that was really uplifting to hear Cindy, again..she has a soothing way. I muted bush's shrill voice when he came on with his Lies.

12. Suggestion: Check your RealPlayer Preferences

to be sure that you've given your player your current connection speed. RealPlayer can then downsample the stream so you can see the report on a connection slower than 450 K/sec without buffering.

[Cha]

16. Thanks, I didn't chose

Real Player and I should have..I'll try again later. I tried to get Real Player after my prob and it wouldn't come up again so I will wait a bit.

[Rose Siding]

13. That's good coverage

What stone heart would not be moved by Cindy's questions comparing her reaction to hearing of Casey's death with Bush's.

And nice touch from Craig Crawford!

15. someone posted earlier that ABC did a good job with their story tonight

also. whow-two networks on the same night.

[cliss]

14. That's not all. She's hitting mainstream radio, too.

We don't watch TV any more. We all developed an intense allergic reaction to Bush. But we DO listen to radio.

There was a sound clip of Cindy speaking on some news report. She said, "You'll go see donors but you won't come see me". It was just breathtaking. It literally took my breath away.

Here, we've been so insulated, so shut out from what's really happening. And they played it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Did they catch the "we don't care" chanters?

[ailsagirl]

18. Just saw the broadcast-- it was the lead story

I thought it was definitely sympathetic toward Cindy.
They did mention the freepers but easily 2/3 if not
more (more like 3/4) was about Cindy.

And they showed a shot of a sign with that ugly photo
of chimp with his mouth turned down and underneath it
said, "LIAR"

COOL!!

They quoted someone else (I taped it-- I'll have to get his name)
who said it was, "a public relations disaster!" (chimp's refusal
to talk to Cindy).

:evilgrin:

[Bumblebee]

20. Craig Crawford

[ailsagirl]

29. Right. Thanks

[MelissaB]

19. Thank you!

:hi:

[Cleita]

21. Coming up in ten minutes here on the left coast.

I will be watching.

[faithnotgreed]

22. please give any further details cleita

thanks

[Cleita]

24. Okay, I can't type very fast anymore, but this was the gist of

what I got down and some is paraphrased.

“A solitary vigil that has turned into a showdown”

"One woman’s mission has become an international phenomenon."

"Bush’s address this morning seemed to be reaching out to her but she doesn’t want sympathy."

"Veterans and members of military families joining her to demand Bush meet with her."

"Without question it’s a standoff."

"Bush will stay the course in Iraq."

Cindy won’t leave without answers."

[faithnotgreed]

28. thank you so much - thats a lot to type

sorry if it was too much cleita

[bleever]

23. Thanks! Tuning in. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

25. Did you see the wonderful job Keith Olbermann did with Cindy on MSNBC?

Here's the Crooks & Liars permalink to the entry with the video links:

He lets Cindy rebut the RW spin. Once again, Olbermann stands for the truth!

[Bumblebee]

26. They had a segment on ABC too but it wasn't that good. Mostly about how

Crawford citizens are objecting to all these people coming to their small and "peaceful" town, and a guy in a red truck (featured prominently in one of the threads here) saying "it's Crawford, not San Francisco. We don't want them here. We support our president!" and other profound stuff like that. :)

[WillyT]

27. Thank You For That !!!

30. You're welcome Willy!
