Now their accusing Cindy Sheehan of being anti-semitic

[KingFlorez]

I just had RWer on another board tell me Cindy Sheehan was anti-semitic.

[madeline_con]

1. She said if the US got out of ME and Iraq,....

The terrorism would stop. (EDIT she mentioned Israel specifically)

I agree.

If you say anything about a genocidal government that happens to call itself aa Jewish state, you're fair game to some people.

[Lenore]

4. Cindy denies EVER saying that..

I saw it today LIVE on MSNBC.. or maybe it was CNN.

In any event, whoever it was reporting the story and talking w/ Cindy about this charge said that it was first mentioned in a report done by ABC news and that they had attributed the Israel out of Palestine statement to Cindy, stating they had received it in an email she had sent back in March. Or sometime 'round in there.

Today, when Cindy was asked about this, she denied ever making that statement and the reporter confirmed that their news organization had asked ABC for the specific email in which Cindy had made this supposed statement and SURPRISE! ABC can't find it but they *are* looking for it..

LOL

6. I see. I still agree, even if she never says it...

[Lenore]

7. I am only reporting what I saw today on cable news...

Not how I feel about the specifics of the Israeli/Palestine issue. I aint that stoopid LOL.

[madeline_con]

10. You can hate Mr. Sharon.....

even if he say he's Jewish. DUH-bya claims to be Christian. ;)

[JawJaw]

20. Well Well

Isn't it amazing how much scrutiny they lavish on our humble emails when it suits them?

I only hope that IF they find this mysterious email that it turns out to be, not from Cindy herself but Cindy@Undercover_Freeper.com

22. I know, and not being able to criicize is just so...unAmerican.

Personally, I'm wondering why we can't talk openly about the fact that Israel spies on us; nor, how some of the biggest orthodox crooks in this country are running to Israel because of their extradition laws. i.e. Abramoff's friends.

Damn. I shouldn't have said that. I'm probably going to get banned.

[Proud_Lefty]

2. Do you smell desperation?

It's starting to permeate the entire media. And it appears to be eating away at that curtain masking all the real whores so the true selves continue being exposed. LOL

[uppityperson]

3. So? What does that have to do with Mr.bush's lies that got us to Iraq war?

Don't let yourself be distracted by the people who will want to smear the messenger. Keep the focus on the issue. Peace.

[madeline_con]

8. The words"Anti Semitism" are a catch all signal phrase...

that causes a lot of otherwise reasonable people who might actually listen to stick their fingers in their ears and hum.

It also causes FREEKERS to wax indignant about Jews, like they're tolerant of them or something.

[uppityperson]

11. anti-semitic divorcee who consorts with Michael Jackson in Aruba!

how dare she be human anyway.

It really doesn't matter, stick to the topic, Mr.bush lied, thousands died.

[madeline_con]

12. Speaking of Michael

I read today that he tried to get Daddy Bush admin. to write a letter about his wonderful work, but John Roberts wrote a brief about not setting a precedent. He said the WH was not MJ's PR department, basically.

[Raksha]

19. The biggest Nazi redneck scum on my home board...

...was ranting the loudest about Cindy Sheehan being "anti-Semitic." He posts as JimBob (I kid you not) and has a Confederate flag as his avatar.

[LittleClarkie]

5. There's a difference between being anti-semitic

and thinking Israel might be a tad out of control and need a class or two in empathy training to see themselves in the Palestinian people.

You should be able to criticize a governement without someone saying you're against them. Kind of like criticizing America and being called anti-American. Nothing is farther from the truth.

[madeline_con]

9. Too many don't get that....

so they yell the magic words and the speaker who criticizedAriel and his murderous friends loses all credibility.

[Catholic Sensation]

16. Yeah that Gaza Pullout is an absolute crime I tell ya

:eyes:

[delen]

13. Unfortunately

Earlier this week David Dukes (remember him?), crawled out of whatever rat hole he's been hiding in and gave his support to Cindy publicly.
RW sights have been all over this one.

someone should say "thanks but no thanks" Dave, if they haven't already

[rfkrfk]

14. Arabs are Semites, the correct term would be, anti-Jew

or maybe anti-Israel.

also, I don't know what CS's position is,
so I don't know

[Caleb]

17. Actually no

anti-Semitism is a misnomer. Even though Arabs are Semites, the word "anti-Semitic" only means anti-Jew. Always has.

[delen]

24. Only since WWII

Because Hitler, had at least one Islamic leader as his personal guest in Berlin during the war and claimed that Arabs were a lost tribe of Aryans.

[Caleb]

25. No, You are Wrong

The word was created by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to mean Jew-hate.

[subutane]

15. Howdy

I just wanted to thank the folks at DU for helping us to get the word out about Cindy. The UpbeatDefiance crew worked hard at the groundwork and you all helped on the digital work. Thanks for doing your part.

We have a great photoblog up at http://standwithcindy.textamerica.com/ for those that would like to get a better idea of the people and the place.

Annie's blog is at http://defiancezone.com/PeaceInPink.php

Other Progressives are asked to start a free blog at http://defiancezone.com as well. I just installed a blogcasting plugin and we have much more in store for it.

The Food Issue:

http://foodnotbombs.net/ has been doing a wonderful job at feeding the troops that will end this war. They immediately went into high gear in order to assist the protesters. Please pass their link around and try to get them some donations. Everyone I have dealt with from their has been truly wonderful.


Shower systems are now in place.

More updates at Annie's blog.

Peace!

18. Hang in there Cindy

Your have a strong streak of good in you. The cock roaches are drawn to your light.

[izzie]

21. That is one subject you have to have one way to think or-------

that is what you get in this country. I do think if they gave half of York County to China and moved them in I would have some thing to say.

[NuttyFluffers]

23. ...and she double dips her chips in the salsa, too!

:eyes:
Whaddya know, a new low for modern fascist scum. Trotting out the anti-semite canard on a grieving mother of a veteran. Why am I not surprised...

Whatever, they are helpless before the truth and the beautiful simplicity of one question.
