We need to let the editors of this paper know

that we won't stand for Cindy Sheehan to be called a traitor.

Re: your "poll" on 8-27-05

Traitor?
Despicable that the word "traitor" is even used, what happened to my country?
When did it become accepted to call a grieving mother asking simple question, that she has THE RIGHT to ask, a "traitor"?

Why aren't you all over the No armor, no communications, no modern flak jacket issue?

Don't you support the troops?

No you don't, you kow-tow and lick the boots of this administration that got us into a war based on lies.
Doesn't that bother you?, even a little?
What happened to a "free and independent press"?
What a sad excuse for a poll, and a newspaper, for calling a mother of a dead soldier a traitor.

Cindy Sheehan is speaking for me and 10's of thousands of others, asking the questions that YOU should be asking, but refuse to.

I remain,
in utter contempt,

Dave

3. poll freeped bigtime

when I voted, there were 75 votes for "traitor" and less than 10 minutes later, there were 1800 votes for "traitor".

5. Yes, as I was checking the results,

I watched the "traitor" count jump up hundreds of votes in a few seconds.

2. done!

Mine was milder than yours, but asked why the newspaper used the word "traitor" to describe someone exercising their Constititonal rights-I asked if they were against the Constitution.

4. Where is the Quad Cities??? 90% call her a traitor??? that is not the

poll from Seattle Times - a real poll. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apus_story.asp?category=1110&slug=Iraq%20AP%20Ipsos%20Poll

And why is the poll answer list different than the poll question list??? I cannot imagine 90% of 10,000+ people believe Cindy is a traitor...talk about bogus!!!

6. Iowa-- now at 87% calling her a traitor.

8. Quad Cities is on the Illinois-Iowa border

It includes Bettendorf and Davenport Iowa and Moline and Rock Island Illinois. I lived in central Illinois a number of years ago and I found the area to be incredibly conservative. Having said that, I think this poll has been freeped big time. In addition, the paper used a very inflamatory term "traitor" almost as if it wanted the poll to be freeped. I suspect someone involved in this had their own agenda.

9. Yes, there is another post in GD that proves it is being freeped

says huge numbers voted all at once...I know even the most conservative place would not be 90% against free speach..even if they loved bush** and hated Cindy, they would be loath to call her a traitor.

10. Folks, we need to tell them this is

WRONG.

Look, freeper idiocy aside, they are calling this women such a vile name, that I think we just CANNOT let it slide.
