Decorated Iraq War Veteran Challenges Cindy Sheehan


CRAWFORD, Texas, August 29 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Hiram Lewis IV, currently a Captain and JAG officer in the West Virginia Army National Guard and a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia, has announced the new "Meet With Hiram" campaign targeting anti-Bush and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.

"Together with the conservative activist organization RightMarch.com, I will be traveling to Crawford, Texas, to demand a meeting with Cindy Sheehan," said Lewis. "If she refuses to meet with me there, I will follow her on her bus tour and continue to demand a meeting until she agrees to talk with me face-to-face."

Pledging to "dog her steps" until she meets with him, Lewis stated, "My mission is to persuade Cindy Sheehan to meet with an Iraq War Veteran such as myself and answer my questions about why she is encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale." What's more, he said, " I've been calling on Cindy Sheehan to meet with me for a few weeks now. If she leaves town just as I'm getting there, everyone will know why."

Capt. Hiram Lewis, a decorated veteran of the War in Iraq, will travel to Crawford, Texas, Aug. 31-Sept. 2 seeking a meeting with Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war protester he says is "determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." Capt. Lewis has three objectives: First, he wants to offer heart-felt condolences for the loss of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who died as a hero in Baghdad on April 4, 2004. Second, Capt. Lewis wants to make sure Mrs. Sheehan supports what her son wanted to do -- see the job through in Iraq. Finally, Capt. Lewis wants to rally support to our continued success in Operation Iraqi Freedom while helping protesters understand how their efforts lower morale and endanger our troops' lives.

1. shitbag tough-guy

likes picking on greiving old ladies.

[SoDesuKa]

10. Don't Call Cindy "Old"

Puh-leeze don't call her old. I'd guess she may be 50, but that's not old. Oh my.

[moc]

24. She's 48. A year younger than my husband and

5 years older than me.

No, please don't call her old!

[FreedomAngel82]

37. Nah she's not old

Then you'd be saying my dad is old and then I'd be old too and I'm only twenty-three. :)

[madokie]

50. This old vet likes to pick on shitbag tough-guy POS

who likes picking on greiving old ladies. I might add not just any "ole Lady", the LADY that started the movement that ends this illegal war and the bush* pResidency. Not that I think for a moment she would need any help either physical or intelligence.

[MnFats]

2. "earned media"....."Christian Wire Service"....

how credible are these news organizations?
just curious.
bring 'em on.
she'll show him, and the president, how it's done.

[sabra]

17. hey it's on the internets it must be credible? :-)

[Blue_In_AK]

3. My guess is Cindy can hold her own...

[deutsey]

6. I'm sure she's all a-quiver

[GreenPartyVoter]

71. I don't guess it, I KNOW it.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

4. We know how republicans respect war heroes-kerry and cleland

and mccain for instance?
And Cindy is endangering the troops? methinks he has the cart before the horse

[joanne]

9. I'm SO SICK of this!!!!!

Stay the course.... the protestors are giving comfort to the enemy..... you are either with us or with the terrorists....:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Iraq had NOTHING TO DO with 9/11.... but the freepers dont care!!

[steve2470]

5. Go home. If I said anything else I'd be blasphemous nt

[leftchick]

7. mega dittos capin lewis

what an asshole. He must have just injected himself with the kool-aide. I have a feeling his little stunt will fail. Big time,

[Howardx]

8. "If she leaves town just as I'm getting there,"

"Capt. Hiram Lewis, a decorated veteran of the War in Iraq, will travel to Crawford, Texas, Aug. 31-Sept. 2 "

funny, the guy is planning on showing up right when cindy's well publicized exit will be.

[SaveAmerica]

11. Sure, show yourself to have an infantile maturity. Last time I checked

she isn't in a position to answer to anyone. She probably will talk with him because she appears to have more intelligence than these 2 together. This will backfire on him if he does it.

[stepnw1f]

12. She'll Meet with Him

Big DEAL. DUH....

Say hi to Huey! They love trying to intimidate, but it doesn't work anymore.

[Beaverhausen]

20. Of course she will

this will backfire on this guy.

[FrankChurch]

84. do we actually post ideas here, or just say statements?

Let's get a bit deeper on this board.

[stepnw1f]

92. Heh? (nt)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

13. Cindy is decorated too

with the medal her son got for dying. Bet he can't match that one.

[moc]

14. If he wanted to meet with her so badly, why didn't he just go

there? Except for the week she was tending to her mother, she's been there since Aug 6th. She's not that hard to find.

It says he's going to Crawford 8/31, the day the Camp Casey vigil ends. Isn't that convenient? :eyes:

I smell a political stunt.

[FreedomAngel82]

52. Oh yeah

So convenient and brave. Watch him claim to show up and everybody is gone and he'll say they'd run away and all that. Heh heh.

[jackster]

69. absolutely....

she's been meeting people all the time according to every report I've read - she's met with others from the "other side" I believe. Just show up you nitwit!

[deutsey]

15. The asshole is running for US Senate

No, not using the war for political purposes. Not at all.

http://www.hiramlewis.com/

[theHandpuppet]

68. This asshole is challenging Robert Byrd

Thanks for the heads up.

[zulchzulu]

16. Have them meet and have it videotaped

Cindy can mention everything she's been talking about...the DSM, the lies that started the war...etc.

If this guy wants to yell over her or call her a traitor, it will be obvious that the guy will show his true freeper colors.

We can see if he can handle the truth or whether he will only be seen as a fool.

The best part about it would be that she met with him and stated her views.

[leftchick]

18. his web site

www.hiramlewis.com

again I say, what an asshole.

[WillyT]

76. Damn... Ya Don't Get Much More White Male Than THAT, LOL !!!

:rofl:

[kbm8795]

19. What a ridiculous publicity stunt

as if Cindy hasn't met with any Iraqi veterans. . .who does this bozo think he is besides a wingnut politician hoping to coat his chances of being elected to office?

Does he really think he has anything new to say to Cindy Sheehan? And that she can't handle the likes of his obvious abrasive nonsense?
Isn't it just like a wingnut to target the mother of a dead soldier for personal political gain, rather than use his campaign to get some answers about our operations overseas.

We should inundate West Virginia newspapers with criticism of this creep. . .

[moc]

30. Absolutely a political stunt. Note the timing of his visit to

Crawford - 8/31-9/2, just as Cindy is planning to leave. But her leaving will be some sort of statement in his mind? Puh-leeze. :eyes:

[BlueEyedSon]

21. What is he doing here in the US? His men need him in Iraq....

[kbm8795]

26. Obviously, running for public office. . .

He must be one of those wingnuts who believe that he is personally a soldier in the "culture" wars. Someone needs to ask him if he's offended that anyone would protest using American lives to establish a fundamentalist Islamic Republic, and then recommend he appear on the 700 Club along with good ole patriotic Pat with his line of crap.

[deutsey]

72. He is...against Byrd in WVA for Senate

http://www.hiramlewis.com

[wakeme2008]

22. His bio LOL

Bullshit on the "Decorated Iraq War Veteran" Admin only decorations.


Hiram Lewis, IV, was born in the small, coal-mining town of Welch, West Virginia, in 1971. In 1986, he moved to Weirton, West Virginia, and graduated from Weir High in 1989. In 1994, Hiram graduated with honors, cum laude, from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Finance. After college he enlisted in the Army as an Airborne/Ranger, graduating as an Honor Graduate from the Ranger Indoctrination Program. He served three years as an Airborne/Ranger with 3d Ranger Battalion in Fort Benning, Georgia.

.*****************

No "V" for combat on any medals just normal I was in Iraq medal everybody gets.

[kbm8795]

39. He's an obvious loudmouthed opportunist

and he doesn't think he'll get a backlash for taking his "christian" legal skills and following Cindy around as he uses her to ho his Senate campaign? LOL. . .

[pnorman]

65. " He is currently a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia."

THANK YOU!! That and all the rest you unearthed, will be enough to puncture his gas bag. "Bring them on!"

pnorman

[LynneSin]

23. Thing is - Cindy would meet with him too

She's not a chickenshit like that asshole is

[jonnyblitz]

28. i bet he doesnt want her to meet with him so he can grandstand

about it. like you, i think she would in a heartbeat and that would be that.

[LynneSin]

44. She can't meet with every nutbag that calls her out like this...

...but if he is a legit senate candidate contender she would in a heartbeat. But I highly doubt anyone could beat Robert Byrd in West Virginia

[FreedomAngel82]

67. She met with that Bush supporter

and remember what happened with their meeting. But his dates of going there are a big signal that it's pure bullshit.

[MissMillie]

75. She already has met w/ a number of people who disagree w/ her

So what does he think he's accomplishing w/ this crap?

[Tanuki]

25. "reichmarch"

Thank you for posting this! Hiram Lewis is running against Senator Robert Byrd, and the hard-core right wing is obviously very interested in ousting Byrd this time around. I was unfamiliar with this rightmarch organization, so I followed the link in the top post. It is pretty insidious:
http://www.rightmarch.com/
For starters, they say "Support Our Troops Against Cindy Sheehan!
We've had it with these radicals on the Left and their "poster girl" Cindy Sheehan, who are just encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale with their antics. It's time for YOU AND I to show OUR support for the troops, our country, and our President -- and we've got just the way to do it. We're NATIONWIDE television, radio and newspaper ads in support of our President and our troops... but we need YOUR help to get them out there across America."

Well, they have thrown down the gauntlet. I hope DUers will support Byrd against this well-financed right wing darling.

[jimshoes]

27. Sounds like a swiftboating

in progress. Has Rove stink all over it.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

83. Yep, another O'Neill

Feathering his nest by doing Dubya's dirty work.

[Marr]

29. He's been "calling on Sheehan to meet with (him) for a few weeks now", but

he's only just now going to Crawford? Why does he insinuate that Sheehan has been avoiding him, when he hasn't even bothered to fucking GO there yet?

[Nikki Stone 1]

31. Announcing a challenge when he knows Cindy is leaving?

Clearly done for the publicity. Cindy has already announced that she is leaving Crawford and going to Congress.

[glarius]

32. He's no match for Cindy...she'll make him look like the fool he is with

her reasonable, non-hysterical responses to his dumb questions!
(I don't care if he's well-meaning...he's still a fool!)

[quiet.american]

Read Captain Kool-Aid's bio carefully....

Currently a Captain and JAG officer in the West Virginia Army National Guard, Hiram serves as Command Judge Advocate for the 111th Engineer Group. In January 2004, Hiram and his unit returned from Operation Iraqi Freedom after nine months in the Gulf, including a short stint in Baghdad where he served as a magistrate at Camp Cropper.

http://www.meetwithhiram.com/

"... in the Gulf..." hmn.

"...short stint in Baghdad..." as a magistrate. hmn.

Captain Kool-Aid.

[kbm8795]

40. Did he help okay

the tortures at the prisons? LOL

[kbm8795]

41. Put him on the 700 Club.!

[Bluerthanblue]

70. who the HELL is he to pretend to know what Casey wanted? he

didn't even know him-
And beyond that- Casey came home with decorations that trump this guys- he came home in a flag draped coffin- EVIDENCE beyond a doubt, that CASEY saw 'action' and the REAL effects of this asshole war-

I hope Cindy meets with him- and i hope she speaks her peace as only she can- This guy is a puff-daddy. And he needs to be pricked.

[Nikki Stone 1]

45. So he really wasn't on the front lines at all?

Just trying to get clear on this.

[MADem]

47. He was living in airconditioned luxury in KUWAIT, for the most part n/t

[deutsey]

48. He "likes to think of himself as some grand colossus of a candidate"

Some may not like the writer's slap at Kerry (if that's what it is), but I think the larger critique of Lewis is good.

SNIP

Hiram Lewis likes to think of himself as some grand colossus of a candidate, even though few people know him. When he went on a brief stint to Iraq last year, he made sure to get a picture taken--shades of John Kerry?--while on patrol. He posed as the conquering hero, sitting in one of Saddam Hussein's huge golden thrones, looking like a little boy in desert fatigues at Santa's photo shop at Wal-Mart during Christmas season.

MORE...

http://www.huntingtonnews.net/editor/050511-tutte-commentary.html

[MADem]

79. The writer approaches the issue from a GOP perspective

He is no friend of the Dems, but he is no pal of this putz, either.

[quiet.american]

85. So Lewis's idea of campaigning for office is yelling at Cindy Sheehan?

Thanks for posting the article on him, I wasn't aware he's angling to be the GOP candidate against Robert Byrd.

So, he figures he'll use a few photos of himself grimacing at Cindy Sheehan to put Sen. Byrd out of business. The author of the article is right -- this guy is a ridiculous idiot. (Not that I would underestimate what the GOP echo chamber will make out of his antics... how pathetic -- Cindy Sheehan has said from day one that her exit strategy is to leave Camp Casey on August 31st -- so what does this guy do, he plans to arrive on August 31st, probably long after the sun has set, and then crow that she's not there.

Unbelievable.

[leftchick]

57. makes you wonder about those "decorations" he has

if he wasn't in combat what did he get them for? Time for a JAG's for truth unit to smear him.

[MADem]

80. Fruit salad, EVERYONE gets them

Fucking geegaws that are supposed to mitigate your low pay and lousy working conditions. The Been There, Done That ribbons--just for you and a couple of hundred thousand of your closest friends. If he had any PERSONAL awards, you can be damned sure he would list them.

Useless bits of cloth, frankly. They also can be used to nail you at inspections should you fail to display them properly on your chest.

[BikeWriter]

89. They give those lightweight ones to all the officers.

[knitter4democracy]

33. She's already met with other vets and would meet with him.

She's even hugged another Gold Star father who's turned against her. What makes this guy think she won't meet with him? Of course, the timing is odd, as she'll be leaving to follow Bush to Washington, so when he says that if she's gone before he gets there this week it's because he's coming, he's out of it.

We had a similar ltte in our paper last week, a vet asking Cindy to meet with him. What they don't get is that she would if they came to her, as she's gone to Bush. She's a bit busy right now, but she'll meet with anyone who wants to, from what I've read.

[patdem]

34. My first comment is 'well he is waiting for her to leave..then accuse her

of avoiding him? Then I searched google and found an extened bio on him on his own website..and no where does he mention a 'decoration'..certainly nothing like a purple heart or bronze star or anything ..probably just a ribbon because he served at all.

Link here: http://www.hiramlewis.com/?cid=943

[FreedomAngel82]

35. I'm sure Cindy is scared

And I'm sure he'll be greeted with the other vets that are there.

[zbdent]

36. Somehow, it seems that this jerk will go the route of

Monica Monica . . . the candidate who decided to legally change her name to M.M. - to bank on the "anti-Lewinsky" movement.

Yup, this guy's only going to have a platform of "I took on Cindy Sheehan!"

And on the three points he wants to make: on #1 - Yeah, right. On #3 - I think that the morale would be a bit more boosted by getting the armor that the Repukes said that John Kerry voted to hold up but passed (and yet has to appear) to the troops, along with some fresh subs . . . and how about enough feet on the ground to accomplish it - or pull out all together?

[kbm8795]

46. Um...someone needs to suggest to Mr. Reserve Guard Magistrate

that his patriotic services are needed in Mississippi and Louisiana right now, not grandstanding for his personal political gain.

[mondo joe]

38. Who the fuck is he to say what Casey wanted? Or would have wanted?

Just a disrespectful schill.

[MADem]

42. Gee, a JAG-off!!!!

"Decorated Iraq Veteran"=Been There Fruit Salad. How much of his tour was in fact safely behind the lines in Kuwait, I wonder??? He wasn't leading any Hamburger Hill charges...it ain't like that tee vee show! I'll bet he can count on his fingers the number of hours he spent in Iraq OUTSIDE of an air-conditioned environment. Fucker!

While kids like Casey were being blown up, he was preparing Art 15 paperwork for some schmucks who were late for formation, stole cookies from the mess hall or got caught smoking some hash behind the revetments...I'm sure he NEVER missed a meal, and has only a slight familiarity with the MRE, probably obtained during his indoctrination program.

Frankly, I hope she meets with him, and kicks his ass. He can leave his rightmarch gestapo down the road, though.

Whaddaya wanna bet he shows up just as the buses are pulling out, and claims that she "refused" to meet?

There are good JAGs, and bad JAGS...this guy is one of the latter.

Here is some interesting commentary about this assclown from a guy who is clearly a Republican--seems he is not very beloved amongst his own:

COMMENTARY: Hiram Lewis: Back to Toadyville

by Sebastian Tutte

...Hiram Lewis likes to think of himself as some grand colossus of a candidate, even though few people know him. When he went on a brief stint to Iraq last year, he made sure to get a picture taken--shades of John Kerry?--while on patrol. He posed as the conquering hero, sitting in one of Saddam Hussein's huge golden thrones, looking like a little boy in desert fatigues at Santa's photo shop at Wal-Mart during Christmas season.

To the everlasting shame of the Charleston Daily Mail, they ran the picture, no doubt adding to the "Cult of Hiram" that exists only in Lewis's mind....

Lewis suffers from the same syndrome as his political master, Kris Warner, former Chairman of the WV GOP. He has absolutely no self-awareness, no consciousness as to how he's coming across when he speaks to the media. To wit:

Lewis has been seen in recent days doing the following carnival act:

Serving as dutiful Deputy to former Chairman Warner;
Turning on Warner, calling for his resignation, when he saw that this was an increasingly popular thing for him to do;
Now coming back to Papa Kris, telling the rest of the State GOP Executive Committee (many of whom have served longer than Hiram has been on earth) that Kris is "owed" $24,000 and should be repaid.
This last part is rich. Isn't this the same Hiram Lewis, who had a starring role in Warner's manipulation of the last State GOP Executive Committee meeting, helping to defeat the reformers in their attempt then to avoid a messy, protracted battle.....Time to get a real job, Hiram. Big time. You've provided many comic moments for us all, but it really is time to try out the capitalist work ethic instead of thinking that every word that falls from your mouth is truth. It isn't.

[DinahMoeHum]

74. Oh, brother! Just another REMF = Rear Echelon Mother F**ker

trying to pass for a combat CIB veteran.

What a goddamn candy-ass phony.

:nopity:

[MADem]

78. Apparently, this is a ploy to gain PRESS

He (and a bunch of other limpdicks) is running against Byrd. The latest candidate in the GOP inventory is named, of all things, SNUFFER, and a third, name of Lawhorn. http://www.herald-dispatch.com/2005/August/04/LNlist4.htm

This is his method of distinguishing himself from the others, because clearly he has nothing else going for him. I'm sure his opponents are thrilled--who knows, they just may pay Cindy to avoid him, it'll keep him off the rubber chicken circuit and not walking precincts, like any candidate with half a rat's ass of a chance would do...

Instead of campaigning in his home state, he is desperately trying to pull a reverse Hackett and garner some easy press. Problem is, Hackett actually did the work, and the only dogging he did was from the podium, to his supporters.

I cannot imagine why he would think that bullying a GOLD STAR MOTHER while backed by a group of THUGS called RIGHTMARCH (sounds a bit Hitlerian, frankly) will earn him any support or attention from the media. He shouldn't hold his breath--if the talking heads give him the time of day, it has to be an exceedingly slow news day, or they'll be questioning his judgment.

[blue sky at night]

43. should we all pack it in and go home.........

never mind the whatabouts.......like the lies, the manufactured evidence and all, but should we just give up because one BRain-washed Officer says what we are doing is BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....

I don't think so.....

Funny how he is Arriving after her scheduled departure, what a tough-guy!!

Cindy has the Truth on her side, he has what??...I would call them the UNITED FASCISTS of AMERICA, go check out the "Media Sources" button at this link:

http://www.earnedmedia.org/ccn.htm

[nini]

49. AAAAAAAHHH.. .the 'Support the terrorists' shit drives me CRAZY

I want one of those MORANS to tell me how being against this war is supporting the terrorists?

This is one of the lamest talking points they have.

I want an explanation!! :grr:

[SammyWinstonJack]

64. Seems to me that supporting THIS war supports the terrorists.

It certainly creates them. These idiots have it backward and of course they are engaging in their favorite pastime of PROJECTION!

[davidinalameda]

51. Lewis is a moron

I doubt he scares Cindy

and how exactly do JAG officers become "decorated"

he's a freaking lawyer

[Generic Other]

53. Trying to ride anti-Cindy sentiment to victory?

Dumb. The pro-Cindy folks are clearly in the majority!!

[Terran]

54. LOL, the joke's on him, the dumbass

I'm sure Cindy will not even hesitate to meet with this honorable-yet-deluded bozo.

[Mairead]

55. Note that he's JAG -- how many lawyers are needed in combat?

So I wonder how he earned his decorations.

Note too that he's Hiram Lewis the Fourth -- it's mostly the very wealthy, not working people, that pass down names through multiple generations.

(edit) As I thought: his family has owned a gasolene wholesale operation for over 50 years. They're wealthy.

And his military service was first as a Ranger stationed in Georgia (no combat) and then as a JAG magistrate in Iraq (no combat).

[Imagevision]

56. Any concenus on what troops feel after learning of phoney lwad up to war?

Army Spc. Casey Sheehan never got the chance to find out about phoney Niger claims, No wmd's, DSM etc.-etc. he died his fith day in Iraq.

Having known more about the Bush administration lies-deceptions who can say he died doing what he believed in?!!

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

58. Hmmmmm...

Can you say 'propaganda machine?' I knew you could.
He talks as though the troops are consulted before being sent in, for example this statement-


Second, Capt. Lewis wants to make sure Mrs. Sheehan supports what her son wanted to do -- see the job through in Iraq.


Her son did what he was told. He was sent there to search for the WMD's that Mr.Bush swore were there. Not to intall a new form of gobernment, not to play police force, not to provide an American presence in the region for the foreseeable future.

He's going to flash his medals and rank at the American public and try to undermine Cindys credibility. I don't think it'll work.

[BikeWriter]

59. He is a JAG officer? Get outta here! ROFLMFBO!

[pnorman]

60. That's so clearly a Rovian stunt,

that only the True Believers would take it seriously. Here's from their webpage: http://www.rightmarch.com/media/sheehan.pdf "Who would you want for President?" Ha!! the answer is clear! WHICH of the two received an Honorable Discharge for serving as Elite Force Aviator at a time of Great Danger to our Nation? (I'll have to work on that a leetle). Presumably, he'll be able to explain to Cindy about that "noble cause", and why it's being constantly reframed. But at least it's on a higher plane than "Bitch in a Ditch!"

It was pointed out on DU that that the itinerary of that GOP-funded "Move Amnerica Forward" outfit is a string of photo-ops. Perhaps DU (Bob Boudelang?) can dog that bogus outfit.

GO Cindy, GO! You got them spinning and frothing full time!

pnorman

[DancingBear]

61. Um, Hiram - Cindy's traveling to Tom Delay's office after she leaves camp

specifically to meet with him.

SHE initiated it - and you think she is afraid of you??

You truly are an idiot.

The good news (for you), though, is that we're betting she meets with you.

The bad news (for you), though, is if you truly are as dumb as you sound -
she'll kick your ass.

Have fun!

[laylah]

62. How in the HELL does this man know this?

"Second, Capt. Lewis wants to make sure Mrs. Sheehan supports what her son wanted to do -- see the job through in Iraq".

My understanding is Casey wanted to be a chaplain and was assured of that(until he signed on the dotted line). How in the HELL would this jackass know ANYTHING about Casey? :mad:

jenn

[MADem]

82. How the fuck would he know?

He spent less time in Iraq than Geraldo!!! Or Wolf Blitzer!!!

Kuwait ain't Iraq, Hiram...yeah, there's dust and wind and sand, but in Kuwait there's movies and cafes and shopping malls....fucking putz!!!

[Imagevision]

63. Cindy should do Captain and JAG officer Hiram Lewis IV on meet the press!

If Cindy calls Captain Jag on a meeting I believe he would back down.
And besides that, Bush is whom she wants to meet with, not another gofer!

[Siena]

66. The right always does this!

They love to compare and equate things that have nothing in common. As though him soliciting her is anywhere near the same statement as her soliciting the president. She's a private citizen expressing her freedom of speech, which she has every right to do legally, morally and othewise. The president is by definition open to criticism for everything he does because he is accountable for everything to the people who elected him. So they can hound him until the cows come home and he should basically take it because that's what he signed up for. She, a private citizen, is not subject to that, nor should she be!!

[Imagevision]

73. No biggie...! Cindy can handle herself - all the confidence in Cindy but,

this is about Bush not some up and comer running for office, Captain Jag is nothing more then a Rove go-for!!!...

[Chicago Democrat]

77. Cindy Sheehan needs to get a court order keeping this FREAK

away!

81. No, she doesn't

She's got her peeps with her, I would not worry. If he comes off looking like a fuckhead, there goes his shot at winning the GOP nom to run against Byrd, where the candidate will lose, anyway.

I like the poster above's idea, to debate his lame ass in a five or ten minute segment on Meet Tim Russert...preferably on a day when they have someone like David Gregory sitting in for the chubby Potato Head...

86. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" .

My father used to say that alot- and he was right.

This fool, is pointing out to everyone how effective Cindy has been, except his credibility is questionable, and his motivation and objectives are very suspect-


For one thing, Cindy doesn't "owe" this man anything, she didn't send HIM to war- for another, has he ever asked her to meet him??? or is he just making a big show of himself.

Cindy is NOT a 'servant of the people' bush is- or is supposed to be- we pay his salary, and die for his lies.

87. Remember to follow up on this

Let's see if he actually shows up.

88. She will meet with him...

She will meet with him, no questions asked...

She will look him in the eye and say "Thank you for your service, your nation is proud"

He wil start his BS...

She will look up at him and say, "Unless you are going to speak to me about my son, we are done here" and she will leave.

90. I think she should walk up to him and tell him "Burn in Hell, asshole"

How could he respond?

91. What "decoration"--an Army Commendation Medal?

God, what a fucking Dumb Ass.

Cindy is there for Cindy. Not for this asshat.

She wants to know what her son died for.

I'd like to know what her son died for. The purported reason changes on a daily basis--pretty much as soon as the American people figure out Bush is bullshitting them, he changes the reason.

A JAG officer is a lawyer. This guy went to Iraq, practiced military law, and now he's back hounding Cindy.

Actually, it might be fun if Cindy met with him. Anyone ever seen someone with two assholes?

93. How did this grandstanding jerk avoid being fragged?

[hippiegranny]

94. she'll chew him up and spit him out

when she meets with him, because unlike our "fearless leader" Bushitler, she isn't afraid to speak with someone with a different opinion than hers.

95. He would be Bushs'
