So true.

But you seem to love giving her all the attention she craves??

Why is that?

No, the press seems to love giving her the attention she craves - I call things as I see it. She's an attention whore. I will also point out the things you won't see from the fawning MSM about sheehan.

You seem to like defending her, why is that? You believe her "message"?

You are giving her attention, if you and others like you weren't eating up the news about her, they wouldn't cover her like they do. Don't blame it on the press, they're just making money off of her.

What's your excuse?

Wrong, the press is gleefully following her around. Did you see that little "entrance" to DC she made? Only 20 people in her gaggle and the press was all over it like flies on sh!t. It has nothing to do with people like me who hold nothing but disdain for people like her who are attention whores.

I don't follow her, I respond to the BS put out there by the fawning press - well rather inform people who just lap up only what the press wants to report.
Sorry you can't handle us calling her what she is - an attention whore.

Oh and you didn't answer - You believe her "message"?

LOL, I don't even pay any atention to her. She has a right to have an opinion and to express it. She has done that and we know where she stands, so why are we even talking about her?

It seems to me the right didn't/doesn't like her message and are trying their best to discredit her, but for some reason they just can't discredit her enough to be satisfied?? It is you and people like you that keep her in the news because you just love to hate her.

It really rather ironic if you ask me.

Yeah, why are you posting about it? According to you in a different thread, you shouldn't post in a thread if you don't care about it. Oh wait, that's right - you can comment but others can't. Anyone who comments is giving her attention - except you ofcourse...

:roll: Ofcourse we don't like her message - have you seen/heard/read her message? It's the message of a loon. And the only reason we have to comment is because the ever-drooling press is continuing to fawn over her. Once their misinformation stops - we can stop having to remind people of the message she has that the MSM won't report.

Oh and you STILL didn't answer - You believe her "message"?

I guess the only thing I know about her is that she's against the war. You have a problem with that?? :laugh:

attention whores? You mean that she was making use of the death of her own son and pursue personal interest. :disgust: How a evil description

She lost her son, one of the thousands of dead.

How many US mothers lost their sons in the battlefield? Not many in fact.

After all she was one of those unfortunates .

No, she can be anti-war.

There is nothing ironic about any of this. The press if fawing over her as if she has any more say than anyone else. Yes, she lost her son and we greive that loss, but that doesn't mean it gives her an exemption from people criticizing her statements and "message" nor does it mean people can't or shouldn't expose the rest of her "message".

The press isn't fawning over her, they're selling news, it's what they do. Put aside your hatred of Cindy's "message" for a while and you'll see your being manipulated by the press for their own monetary gain.

Think about it, some lady whose son was killed in the war, comes out against the war and want's a meeting with the President to ask what his plan is. The press looked at that and went $$$$$$ Ka-Ching $$$$$$. They're going to milk it for everything they can get out of it. It's capitalism at work. Aint this a great country we live in!! :D

Had a old lady arrested..shameful.

So people want to disrrupt the government to make a point. Way to get support.

Also, please define HE.

You are such an idiot. I am not for or against Bush, but the fact that you are talking about the capital getting 'pwned' pisses me off.
Yeah it's really great to disrupt the government, as slow as they already are with everything. As someone who drives into the capital EVERY day, where traffic is bad enough as it is, idiots like you and all the idiots 'pwning' the capital really just need to think about what it is you are actually doing.
I have no problem with protesters, as it is one of the ways to get your point across in this country, but when it is referred to as 'pwning' that really pisses me off.

Well for one obviously you don't know what it's like here. The traffic doesn't snarl because of the President. The traffic snarls over EVERYTHING. doesn't matter what it is, rain, accidents, etc.... it can happen at anytime. Which is why we don't need loons that are TRYING to get arrested just to be on the news making things worse.

If you think that the purpose of protesting is to disrupt the government and to cause chaos, then you are more of an idiot than I originally thought.

Not that I would put Cindy Sheehan on the same level as the real leaders of those protests, but the premise is the same. You're protesting something the government is doing and you need attention for your cause so that more people will take notice in the hope that they will put pressure on the government to bring about change. Civil disobedience and being arrested brought attention to all of those others and the strategy here is to do the same. People who lean toward your cause will see it as an example of the government trying to use its power to silence those who disagree with them and deny the will of the people; those who disagree with your cause will see it as grandstanding and a lack of respect for the law and the government that needs to quelled by those in authority to maintain law and order.

Of course it's all about getting attention. And it works. We're all talking about the subject again after a long break from it. I don't see it as a big deal. It won't change many people's minds one way or the other, but it is an age old strategy for bringing your cause to the attention of others and raising the debate about it. It's the American way...and the South African... and the Indian... and the...

"Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace....We must demonstrate, teach and preach, until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. We must work unceasingly to lift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness. " - Martin Luther King, Jr.


"Curtailment of free speech is rationalized on grounds that a more compelling American tradition forbids critism of the government when the nation is at war. More than a century ago when we were in a declared state of war with Mexico, a first term congressman by the name of Abraham Lincoln stood in the halls of Congress and fearlessly denounced that war. Congressman Abraham Lincoln of Illinois had not heard of this tradition or he was not inclined to respect it. Nor had Thoreau and Emerson and many other philosophers who shaped our democratic principles. Nothing can be more destructive of our fundamental democratic traditions than the vicious effort to silence dissenters." - Martin Luther King, Jr.


Seems pretty clear that Martin Luther King, Jr. would have had more in common with the likes of a Cindy Sheehan than those of you with such a limited knowledge of history could ever imagine. Ignorance is no excuse, you should have learned the basics about MLK, Jr.'s anti-war protests and views about the dangers of curbing dissent when you were in high school. :thumbsdown: Your lack of knowledge about the man, shown so clearly in your posts, would be laughable if it weren't so sad in reality.


"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
