Cindy Sheehan Quits as ‘Face’ of Anti-War Movement
Okay, I think the ‘scare apostrophes’ are a bit much, but as much as I dislike Hanoi Jane, she was a better anti-war face.
Don’t throw me into that briar patch: Rosie O’Donnell Says She May Never Speak to Elisabeth Hasselbeck Again
Turning Japanese: Lefty spooge and somewhat popular blogger proves what a crass act he is
Recognizing and acknowledging your problem is the first step, Cindy.
What to make of this?….

After a respectful day of remembrance and outright blubbering (while watching the Memorial Concert on the DC Mall) it’s the next day and time to unload some baggage.
1) Cute but not one of Wuzzie’s best.
3) Hasselbeck should count herself fortunate that the Rosaphone will be silent. Sip a cosmo and celebrate with friends and family.
4) French media types were pimping for Middle Eastern interests? The Horror!
3) and now … Cindy Sheehan. Like many others I have been reluctant to unload on Cindy, prefering to pass her off as a grief afflicted, clueless lightweight, even as the reports piled up of her family’s disgust with her actions, the lack of a tombstone for her son, her “army of diplomats” kindergarden foreign policy and her pimping thugs like Chavez and Castro. Gritted teeth and a wave of the hand seemed appropriate.
Not anymore….
I don’t think that it is possible to write a more self centered, egotistic, narcissistic pile of transcendantly selfish monkey vomit than the 1200 plus word whine fest that is the Kos entry. Here is a woman who uses her own son’s death to promote a political agenda that suits her particular, narrowly defined vision of loss as moral righteousness. She set herself up as the universal misery conscience, projected her own grief as victimization and pimped herself and her honorably deceased son to feed her own political ego.
After having trashed almost every American politician on the planet for not meeting her standard of public humiliation over the GWOT, after crapping over almost all of America for the sake of her ignorant, utterly fact challenged grievances, Cindy would now have us weep once more at the overwhelming unfairness being visited upon her. Let us cry for the the moral relativism of Sheehan’s world where the President is a murderer, Cheney is an asshole and terrorist, US troops are butchers and occupiers and the entire U.S. government is illegitimate and criminal but the jab of “attention whore” represents something akin to a drive by shooting. In Cindy world, self-righteous bleatings stand on their own without question, wrapped as they are in the mother’s pain, pressed on all of us like a thumb in an eye socket.
All for the sake of feeding the insatiable Sheehan need for recognition as the superior moral authority. How could anyone so imbued with divine truthiness be subject to *gasp* criticism?
Good riddance to bad karma, dude.
You just can’t make this shit up.
More fun in the news:
CU President Recommends Ward Churchill be Fired
Since he says he’s going to sue, maybe they should just slip him a smallpox infused blanket.
Chavez crushes dissent, DKos applauds.
Viva la revolución!
Cindy Sheehan:
You just can’t make thjis shit up.
Vladimir, you have to read much further down into the article to gain a full understanding of the NYT headline. You see, the template is that we have generally demoralized troops there, and that they are unhappy with what they do in Iraq. But stores are now opened, thanks to the surge, 4 out 10 most-wanted bad guys in one area were captured, and 95% of the troops are glad to be there.
Typical NYT demoralistic b.s. The positive cannot be the highlight, eh? It destroys the liberal reason for being.
Geeze man:
That’s what I was ranting about, right there. How wrapped up in your shiny self do you have to be to assume that all criticism is related to the grading of the eponymous “same standards?” Jiminy crickets who died and made her standards queen?
No not her poor son, whom she wields like a cricket bat to advance her fringe idealogy while his grave stands monumentless. Casey deserves better than his criminally self absorbed mom.
What a selfish narcissistic ignorant tool.
Geezer…
Good points.
I only found that article because I dipped into St. Andy O’Sullivan of the Torturous American Hegemonyâ„¢ and Souled-Out Conservatismâ„¢ ‘s blog for the first time since 2004 when it appeared that Andy had gone overboard and supported Kerry.
It’s always easy to tell what’s on TeaBagg’s tiny mind. He keeps his dogs close at hand for easy relief.
BJ: Casey Sheehan did finally get a headstone, but it was the rest of his family that took care of it, not Cindy.
Per the Rosie/Elisabeth tiff: The funniest thing about that whole situation is how quickly Pizza the Hutt resorted to portraying herself as a martyr. For months, Rosie has had backup during filming from Joy, Barbara, whoever the guest host was, and the crowd of trained seals in the audience that clapped and applauded her every time she opened her piehole and said something incredibly stupid or ignorant–Elisabeth has, rhetorically speaking, been one against 200 this whole time, with Rosie leading the mob. The one time Elisabeth refuses to back down and try to make Rosie demonstrate some intellectual integrity, Rosie runs off crying like the playground bully that just got beat up. It’s funny that Elisabeth is considered the “lightweight” of the show, because she’s demonstrated a lot more patience and principle than I think anybody ever expected.
Chris: All bullies are cowards. All.
Pablo: Ol’ Hugo “El Gordo” Chavez does seem to be running off the old playbooks, don’t he? Having finished with “The Prince”, he moves on to “How To Crush Counter-Revolutionary Wreckers in 5 Easy Steps”…
Ah yes, dear Momma Moonbat Sheehan. Cared about her son so much that somebody else had to get him a tombstone. And oh by the way, the military offered to pay for the tombstone, all Momma Moonbat had to do was let them know when and where.
She didn’t do that. Of course, she had time to take a photo-op stretched out on his grave, but yannow, ya gotta have priorities!
Good bye, Momma Moonbat. We knew ye too well.
Raging Dave:
The reason why I felt the need to steam off was the memorial service at the Mall in DC. Dianne Weist read from a mother’s diary, all the while showing film of her sitting next to her son’s grave in a snowstorm, writing words of loss, sadness, grief but also phrases of joy, pride and her heartfelt opinion that her son was hero. I was an absolute blubbering wreck when Weist finished and then walked to the front row and hugged said mother.
Cindy Sheehan thinks she controls the proper response to grief and everyone’s moral high ground. For me, the timing was bad to read that self serving crap.
I’m OK now… (grrr)
Oh baby…That. Was. Beautiful.
Apparently Ms Sheehan is leaving the Democratic Party too.
