Head's Up on Latest Swiftboating Attempt against Cindy Sheehan!!!
I am told by a freeper on another board that they are going to say that Casey Sheehan was NOT Cindy Sheehan's son at all, and that she was never particularly close to him.

Just be prepared when they try to stick this one on her.

1. These people are really sinking to new lows.
This is worse than Limbaugh's claim that it wasn't true.

5. Well, in that case, I'll allow them to make complete fools of themselves.
They are a complete waste of my time and energy.

We have literally tens of millions of people who have been activated by Cindy. I'd much rather pay attention to them than give these hateful monsters one precious moment of my time.

6. Shrub hinted at this with his "protestors make America weak" quip
it's a short step from there to "helps the enemy"

what can you expect from an idiot who never read and doesn't respect history? Thinks it's only there for him to control?

how tiresome the same fascist rhetoric lights these folks up decade after decade!!

33. He's such an idiot! Protestors make America strong! He was
arguing that just yesterday in defense of Iraqis indecision about their Constitution, and said that our Country was Founded on protest!

Stupid, lying, greedy, short-sighted, uncompassionate, arrogant, war-profiteering WEAK Presidents make America weak!

I had unexpected company, and didn't get an edit to the thread posted in time. Poor manners on my part, and I apologize. I'm not very tech knowledgeable, and tend to mess up things like posting links. I owe a debt of gratitude to the DUer who added the link.

38. I missed Keith Olberman tonight, and in addition to the obvious 'worst
person in the world' being Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter won first place (tied I think with Pat), but I didn't get the reason for her nomination on KO's show tonight. Anybody see it?

40. Ann C said something like: If NY was attacked they'd all run away
I caught a bit of it -- hopefully someone else will have seen the whole thing and make some sense out of it, because I could not imagine who in their right mind would say such a thing.

Olbermann's comment was, "Does she even live in this country?! New York experienced >some of< 9-11." I wanted to ask--does she even live on this planet? She certainly seems like an alien species.

18. I'll go out on a limb here because I think these types are lowlife idiots
Are they going to risk alienating a large part of the population by claiming that Casey was adopted or something? That should resonate well with the population don't ya think?

Are they going to try to portray her as an unfit mother or some such shit?

Are there no gutters these freaks won't wallow in?

26. Sat quietly by,didnt say much
OKay this is where I cant keep my mouth shut!!!
Until she went to Crawford I talked to Cindy Sheehan almost every night,either on the phone or on the computer.I have been on here at 2 in the morning when she couldnt sleep because of the depression and grief she was going thru after Casey died.DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT
tell me that she and Casey werent close!!!! Casey was her first child and they were extremely close.When he died a big part of Cindy died.
I talked to her last night and she had been to the cemetery yesterday
to spend time with Casey along with her son Andy.
This is something she does a lot when she is home.Anyone who spreads any lie like what you were talking about is not only evil but mentally ill.
If you get any names of these people I will suggest to Cindy that she
sue them for slander.
This illegal war is not only killing our children and innocent iraqi's
but it is destroying families with the lies and untruths that are being told by supposedly good right wing christian people.This is as bad as the war between the north and south.
If they cant bring us down with their lies they are doing the old divide and conquer plan

39. We believe you and of course Cindy! These are Swiftboat vets for Lies...
I couldn't agree with you more about the following point, and I've thought similarly for a long time. Sometimes I worry about Civil War, but this is one of the reasons that Cindy has helped so much. People know she's speaking the truth about liars and hypocrites. Just look at what a major impact she's had on the whole country, not just us anti-bushies.

31. What? Are they serious?
Every time they attack her, she gets more nominations for "mother of the year." Can there BE any stupider strategy? If they keep at it, she'll get on Oprah! INstead of calling it the swiftboating of Cindy, I would call it the beatification of Cindy.

So, go at feeper boys.

44. They're so used to getting away with anything
If one does not have boundaries, such as a child needs, then one will go spinning off into craziness, which is what I think is going on with these folks. Lots of people on DU and other progressive sites, make comments that are so obviously sarcastic, but the freeptards do not seem to have a sense of humor, and also think that they can do or say anything they want, because thus far, they have been able to get away with it. But not any more. Attention Freeptards -- your time is at hand. Keep it up, though, 'cause all you're doing is just hanging yourselves out to dry. I say, go for it!

51. When someone makes an allegation
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 11:00 AM by Catrina
like that, they need to give their name, and telephone #, address etc. so that they may be contacted by the media for proof of what they say, and/or the attornys of the party they are slandering.

If they are too cowardly to do that, then they are merely truly, cruel, desperate individuals who see the power of a mother who lost her son to Bush's lies, and can think of no way out for their cult leader, other than their fantasy that 'maybe she isn't real' ~ So, for a moment of gratification they succumb to the temptation of experiencing a temporary, in their eyes, victory and post their fantasy anonomously on a message board and feel good for a few minutes. In their delusional and programmed minds, they are saving their 'great leader'.

And what will they say about all the other parents, and loved ones of soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and who agree with Cindy? Are they too faking their parenthood? How did this country get to this point with these people in charge?
