If you don’t like what the mother of a fallen soldier has to say, what do you do? Smear her! Last night on Fox’s O’Reilly Factor, O’Reilly and right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin launched the personal attack on Cindy Sheehan.

First, O’Reilly painted her as a traitor:

I think Mrs. Sheehan bears some responsibility for this and also for the responsibility for the other American families who lost sons and daughters in Iraq who feel this kind of behavior borders on treasonous.

Malkin took it up a notch by bringing Sheehan’s son, who was killed last year:

I can’t imagine that Casey Sheehan would approve of such behavior.

Is smearing grieving mothers how the right-wing supports the troops?

1. Malkin said...

Cindy is turning her private, personal tragedy into a public circus show... :grr:

The nerve of these pigs. They more or less paraded Terry Shiavo around in the streets, talking about public circus shows. How dare Cindy Sheehan turn her grief to anger and action! HOW UN-AMERICAN!

O'Reilly and Malkin are excellent arguments for contraception.

:argh:

2. Contraception? Hell,

They're enough to support retroactive abortion!

3. If O'Reilley is looking for a treasonous act, maybe he should look

closer to the White House...I bet he might be able to find a couple of treasonous people there..

5. remember he's an independent...doesnt favor

one party over the other...:sarcasm:

4. The fact that people watch O'Lielly at all is amazing...

I have steam coming out of my head. Michelle Malkin is just another pretty face with no brain. Run of the mill Ann Coulter type.

6. Malkin-Coulter Another pretty face? Pretty face? Aw c'mon

I got 35 acres of corn that either one of these two "beauties" would keep the crows away from.

Come to think of it, I'd rather have the crows on my property...........
