My Correspondence w Sheehan-hating Hypocrite Columnist

Posted parts elsewhere but here's the whole of it. Notice she can't defend her loathsome behavior and instead her responses get more annd more meager:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations on your appalling smear of Cindy Sheehan. I wonder
how it feels to bear false witness against a grieving mother.

I particularly like how you refer to Cindy's "family" opposing her -
by referring to Casey's aunt and some cousins - while ignoring the
fact that Cindy's husband and remaining children fully support her.
Since when do cousins bear greater weight as "family" than the nuclear
family conservatives claim to value?

I remember a time when Republicans were good people with values they
stuck to - my father was one of them. These days there is no value
the GOP will not cast aside without hesitation in exchange for a bit
more power. To the GOP of today, fiscal responsibility is a joke,
ethics are an inconvenience and the family of a dead soldier is a
scapegoat. How fortunate my father was to have passed away before the
party he loved turned into this.

For you, Catherine Moy, I can only pray for God to rid you of your
hate, and let you speak what in your heart you know is true: this war
was justified by falsehoods, the occupation is nothing less than a
disaster and your leader is a coward who would not serve in his own
time and dishonors those he sends to their deaths today.

May God bless you and forgive you.

Dear Joe,

Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your prayers more than you know. It was painful and difficult to write my column. I am not full of hate. I am full of love, for Cindy and her family. By the way, don't forget that Casey's grandmother and grandfather also signed that letter.
You do not know me at all, you only know one article. I have written thousands. Do your homework.
I will pray for you, too, Joe. I appreciate your sentiments. I hope your letter to me was not a result of a gang mentality on democraticunderground. Whew, Liberals can be a vicious lot.
Anyway, remember what Jesus said: You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Thanks again.
God Bless You,

Catherine Moy

Your column was plainly not painful or difficult to write. If it were
you'd have written otherwise. Or perhaps the difficulty was something
known as a conscience, however diminished your might be.

I know, based on your repeated false witness of Cindy Sheehan, more
than enough to know you are hurting and in need of truth and love.
How sad that you don't even see how plain your lies and hatred are.

As we know, even the devil can quote scripture for his purposes, and
you are a case in point.

When you are prepared to speak the truth I know God will smile on you.
Until then, lose some weight and stay healthy so you don't go to
your grave with this evil on your soul.

Joe,

Thanks for pointing out that Satan can quote scriptures. I had forgotten that until I read your so very intelligent letters. Hate will eat you up, so stay safe. As a minister, I have spent many hours with the sick and dying. I know something about the human spirit and the last breath one takes before facing God. Listen to your own words, Joe. Really listen.

And thanks for the tip on my weight. I do need to exercise more.

God Bless You,

Catherine
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry you learned so little at the bedside of the dying. And more
sorry you learned so little as a minister.

I hope you can see how twisted you've become that you can demonize a
grieving mother whose son volunteered to defend his country. One
example: note how you insist I cannot know you based on one column.
Yet you wrote about what Casey Sheehan would want, as if you had
God's own insight into his soul. You see, the very thing you
castigate others for is a behavior you engage in freely.

What a pity.

While you may need to exercise your body more, it is your relationship
with truth that is out of shape.

What a pity.

But God will not force you to be truthful, Catherine. You have to be
willing to do it yourself. And with God's grace you someday will.

Joe
---------------------------------------------------------------
I only know what Casey's mother said he would want.

You will remain in my prayers. You will know the truth.
---------------------------------------------------------------
No, Catherine, you extrapolated from that to presume what he'd want.

And yet you fret over others believing they understand who you are
based on your own words.

I ask you to reflect on Jesus's lesson in Matthew:

Matt 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam in thine own eye?

Matt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.

How sad that I must tell this to a minister. Clearly some are not
suited to serve God as ministers,, but are merely present day
Pharisees, and yet I must admit this is your case.

In closing let me remind you of one more thing: when Christ sufferedon the cross it was not his aunt or cousins who stayed at his side, it was his mother Mary. And in Mary's fashion Cindy Sheehan is standing by her son, while those like you play out the part of the Romans.

You have placed yourself on the wrong side of history and of God. I
pray for you.

Joe

Good luck, my brother. Thank you for the prayers.

Thatt's it for now. I should have illustrated my last post too her to help her understand. THIS is what she wants to throw stones at:
