I would say that "Mommy Moonbat" Cindy Sheehan is an ignorant boob but that would be a grave insults to boobs the world over. Let's just say I will be glad for the day when she will be yet another small footnote in American history. Similarly remembered as merely an answer in a future edition of Trivial Pursuit.

Oh, I doubt she will even be "a small footnote" in posterity.

Lucky posterity . . .

;-)

I'm sorry, but I just cannot listen to this. Let them move to Darfur...

I was struck by the fact that the guy introducing her asked for a rousing audience reaction and, lets just say, it was rather weak. She is a willing tool for the A.N.S.W.E.R. crowd, but I still feel pity for her.
Casey Sheehan, try to RIP, even though you mom is running around acting like a moonbat. Thank you for your service, sir.

She certainly isn't a great speaker. Her entire speech was simple sentences. I look forward to the day they withdraw from this nation and I can view them as the combatants that they are.

So... when will she visit the Death Star she refers to.

So..if she and the other moonbats declare their "independence" and no longer ruled by "King George" would it mean we can deport her?

I think this video nicely shows the small numbers of folks at the rally. At least as many if not more "eagles" hovered around their star speakers. So I still can't figure out how Nancy P says there's such an overwhelming majority who support her suicidal lemming approach to international warfare.

*SCREECH!!!* "FORTY YEARS AGO!!!" *SCREECH!!!*

Not quite the same as "Four score and seven years ago."

What a twit. I agree with Marc, if they officially declare their independence from this government, then apprehend them all, put all of them on one of the old supply ships in the James River in Virginia waiting to be scrapped and ship them over to some small third-world country and see how they survive without "the corporation".

And true to moonbat form, no mention of the Uncle Hos, Adolph Hitlers, Yassar Arafats, Saddams, Castros, rt.al. who start these "illegal wars". Rtaher let's rail against the American war mongering machine that just happens to be defending it's interest or that of it's friends.

Meatsticks....

Whether you folks like it or not, this is THEIR country as much as it is yours. Welcome to a democratic republic, where people are allowed to disagree, even with the government (which is, supposedly, by and for the people).

If they don't like something, well, at least they're saying something about it. The same goes for the counter protesters.

The main problems seems to be that both sides are screaming at one another and not stopping to take the time to actually realize that the other side is human, and indeed, American as well.

Pretty hard to see through stereotypical beliefs, sometimes.

Both sides of the politcal spectrum have their exaggerated rhetoric and overstatements...the left has theirs, as does the right.

Sheehan is no Abe Lincoln, and she is no Martin Luther King. That's for sure. Her ideas tend to be a bit overly simplistic and black and white, IMO.

Ryan, they DON'T have the right to provide aid and comfort to the enemy.

Let them speak--the more they do, the more credibility they lose. No one wants to be associated with foolish zealots who care more about how people feel about us than what is morally superior.

Go ahead Cindy, continue...

Well, pal, we don't exactly have a perfect record. The Mexican-American war was as much of a land grab as there ever was.

But the Sheehan types do see the world in a very simplistic way, and they forget that there is way more to the story than they want to admit (or look into).

I do think that our policy of supporting "convenient" dictators in the past has really come back to haunt us, and has damaged our international credibility in some cases. We buddied up to the likes of Somoza, Pinochet, and even Hussein for a time, and for convenience sake. We gotta stop that shit, IMO, if we are to remain credible when it comes to our ideals about freedom, democracy, and liberty.

Part of the question, then, is whether our ideals of freedom and liberty apply only to the USA, or whether we as Americans really do believe that "all men are created equal".

I think you are right in bashing the Sheehan types for being too one-sided though. You're right about that.

I think we have to be aware of our faults and issues, while at the same time keeping our heads on straight.

I like the part where they cheer for not paying taxes. They think the revenues from their flat broke welfare-dependent oxygen wasting lives would put a dent in the budget? It's the tax money collected from those evil corporations and people who are too busy working to waste time at meaningless rallies that fund this country, not from neo-Marxist bums who wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for government handouts. What a pathetic group of morons.

metprof:

Ryan, they DON'T have the right to provide aid and comfort to the enemy.

Did Americans have the right to protest against Clinton's military actions in the 1990s? Hell yes they did. Were they expressing support for the so-called "enemy" by doing so. Hell no they were not.

We are allowed to speak agains the government without being strung up as traitors, metprof. That's a very very very good thing we have going here in the USA.

Don't conflate the argument by pulling the "traitor" card when you are pissed off about what someone is saying. That gets us nowhere. Provide an argument as to why your reasoning is better.

So America "doesn't have a perfect record" . . . because of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR?

That was 160 years ago, for those who are counting.

Just how completely stupid does one have to be in order to be a leftist?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! My ears are bleeding!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop Stop the madnessssssss

Why do they all look so unhappy?

C'mon folks, wars are land grabs. That's why there is an infantry.

It's a mistake to label ryan a a leftist.
=================================

Or me a rightist. I'm a Neocon.
====================

Why dont they all go to Iran and peddle their B.S.?

"America is only part of the universe."

But its the part I care about most u dipshits!

hey jim:

So America "doesn't have a perfect record" . . . because of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR?

Indeed. That one was a pretty blatent land granb if you ask me. We are far from perfect. Do you disagree? The Mexican-American war is one example. Do you think it's irrelevant to the world we live in today? You might want to confer with the people who live in the western US before you answer that, since they are currently living on the lands that we "acquired" during that war.

Are you arguing that 160 events have no bearing upon the nation that we are today? What about 231 year old events (that would be 1776)? No relevance? According to you, Jim, when do historical events become relevant to our "record"? Do they have to be less than 50 years ago, 25, 10? Tell me, oh genius of political science and history, where do we draw the line? What is acceptable, to you, for judging the record of this nation?

Does it upset you when someone is critical of the USA? Why?

Just how completely stupid does one have to be in order to be a leftist?

Hahaha. Great job with the proverbial knee-jerk reaction.

Look man, if you disagree, then disagree, and make your case, if you have one. Do you really have to resort to 6th grade debate tactics, or do you have something more to bring to the discussion than this?

So far, I'm not impressed.

kim:

Hehe. watch out. i might be a COMMIE-INFILTRATOR!!! wha-ha-ha!

Jim Addison can label me however he sees fit. Is it a mistake? Who knows? I have a hard time with over-arching-stereotypical labels, but that's just me.

In fact, one of my main beefs about our contemporary political discourse is a blind reliance and adherence to stupid political labels like leftist, rightist, liberal, conservative.

What do they all really mean anyway? I have no idea. I call em as I see them, and shy away from associating with pre-made political ideologies.

What I really like is when some blogger like Addison hauls off and calls people stupid without knowing the first thing about them. Great form, excellent tactics.

Or an overzealous attempt at coexistence?

Hopefully not a hopeless essay at insight.
=========================

You know I'm more than happy to listen to opposing opinions when they are presented in an informed eloquent manner. However all I ever hear from the lefties is the tired, screechy, whiny mantra of BUSH/HITLER/ROVE/HALIBURTON/BLOODFOR OIL and
I tune out. I wish that g-d would grant Casey Sheehan just a minute or two back in this life so he could whisper in his mother's ear as she slept to STFU !

Casey will be honored someday with his bust on a small coin circulating in Shia Iraq for his sacrifice in demonstrating to Sadr's soldiers that there is something besides Islam worth dying for.

This woman has given her son to this illegal and unjustified war. Just what have you given to justify your derogatory comments?
It is people like you who do not have adequate brain cells to comprehend that you are being deceived and your nation has become a rouge nation, led by your rather unintelligent president.
Europeans laugh at the idiocy of Bush who can not even spell "potato" correctly.
A ship of fools with an ape at the helm.
