Taking sloppy liberal thinking and tearing it a new one -- but always with a touch of class.

Cindy Sheehan expresses frustration at her handlers. With her history of spouting the worst radical gibberish, is it no wonder her handlers have been very strict with her?

The Gold Star Families for Peace website has been given a big facelift. Much more professional now. Big picture of Cindy now dominates the home page. The host now supports PHP. I guess they're expecting to be in for the...

I hope Cindy Sheehan's mother gets better. I really do. I also hope Cindy Sheehan gets the help I think she needs. But there are always those who, frankly, would not benefit from all the help in the world. Like...

Cindy Sheehan is using the names of fallen soldiers to promote her cause. Her cause is more important than the truth, as we look at the story of Gary Qualls, father of one those soldiers, and his encounter with Cindy Sheehan.

It seems like the Michaelle Jean debacle is due in no small part to Paul Martin's decision to finally stop dithering. Maybe he should go back to dithering. He seems to do less harm that way....

Margot Kidder, last seen in 1978 in the Superman movies, has become a US citizen so that she could protest the war. Apparently, concern about the Iraq War is resonating with thousands of foreigners....

Given the substantially ceremonial job of Governor General, though understanding the oh-so-real powers that the person holding the post can wield, and given that the position is by appointment and not by vote, it stands to reason that the person...

Maybe there's a reason the administration is adamant about not seeing her. Could it be an attempt to manage the media coverage? A look at the level of interest over the last two weeks or so suggests there might be...

From Hardball:CHRIS MATTHEWS: Are you considering running for Congress, Cindy? CINDY SHEEHAN: No, not this time. I‘m a one issue person. I know a lot about what‘s going on in Iraq but I don‘t know anything about anything else. And...

Canada's own Rondi Adamson takes a look at Christopher Hitchen's masterful dissection of the Camp Casey protest. She's taken some notes from his appearance on Hardball, as well as pointing us at his Slate piece. Check it out. Leave it...

According to this opinion piece at the Washington Post by Peter Beinart, Cindy Sheehan only has one demand, so the President should make time to see her? One demand? Where have you been for the last week, Peter?

Cindy Sheehan apparently never got permission to put the names of those soldiers on her crosses. Some people have called in to ask for the names to be removed. For the first time ever -- negative optioning of politicized grief!

Our designate for Governor General has issued a carefully worded written statement. A bit too carefully written, oddly enough. And what's with the extra secret message to French Canada (ie, Quebec)?...

Babies have been stopped from boarding planes because their names appear on no-fly lists. You know, you need to apply some common sense to these things. Here's what I think of your no-fly list! Take that, you imbecilic bureaucratic half-wit!...

Cindy Sheehan's assertions that the divorce was a mutual, even amicable, decision flies in the face of the evidence, including the punitive divorce petition sumitted by Patrick. The notion that he supports her cause ends here.
[Comments (37) :: TrackBacks (1)]
People criticizing Cindy Sheehan have been subjected to some really nasty abuse. In this case, Charles Krauthammer, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, is given a slap by ex-CIA "terror expert" Larry Johnson because Krauthammer is a paraplegic. Nice.

For the role of Governor-General, representative of the Queen in Canada, the person selected for the job should be recognized to be a loyal Canadian without question. Without question! Michaelle Jean has failed that most basic test, with good reason,...

An online memorial to the fallen has a special notice for Cindy Sheehan and the Sheehanites: Stay Away!...

A local Sheehanite took a picture of one of the flattened crosses at Camp Casey. You can just make out the name of the fallen soldier Cindy Sheehan has added to her role call beside Casey Sheehan. Read the story of him and his family (have some tissues handy) and then wonder by what right can the likes of Cindy Sheehan even utter his name.

This might be old news, but Martha Mendoza, AP National Writer, filed this report on Saturday past:Normal life ended for Cindy Sheehan in April 2004, when her oldest son Casey, 24, a father of twin girls, was killed in Iraq.Casey...

Cindy Sheehan describes the timeline of events regarding her divorce proceedings, and manages to speak yet another bold-faced lie.

Casey Sheehan's family asked for people to donate to Camp Pendola, a Catholic-run children's summer camp where Casey worked as a staff member. I'd like to draw your attention to Camp Pendola, and ask you to consider honouring Casey in the way his family had originally wanted.

Deaniacs and Sheehanites will have to reconsider their position that life in Iraq is no better, or even worse, than it was under Saddam.
[Comments (13) :: TrackBacks (0)]
Cindy Sheehan's statement that son Andy would be joining her at Camp Casey has turned out to be untrue as well. Her family situation has unraveled completely, but she appears to be content enough to stay with her new family.

I wonder if Howard Dean, Democratic National Chairman, is taking advice from Cindy Sheehan. They seem to have similar ideas about how much better life was for Iraqis, especially women, under Saddam....

In update to my piece about Cindy meeting with Iraqis, I have her version of events. As always, it is entirely at odds with the facts and entirely in line with her view of reality. There are no dissenters in her world...

Chrenkoff has another example of the sort of people who disagree with Cindy Sheehan, and have the legitimacy paid for in blood to do so.

John Conyers is throwing his weight behind Cindy Sheehan. Maybe he and Sheehan can have another mock impeachment trial while the cameras are rolling.

Michelle Malkin says at the top of her article "You won't believe it." I do believe it. The stories are out there. Many of them. What I don't believe is that more people don't know this about their president. Part of it, I think, is his faith.

Cindy Sheehan has vowed not to pay taxes. Is this part of the reason her marriage is falling apart? Is Patrick Sheehan worried that he's about to become an unwilling sacrifice in Cindy Sheehan's war?

[Comments (9) :: TrackBacks (2)]
A reader points out that Patrick Sheehan filed for divorce. This follows the pattern of Cindy Sheehan reporting all his fine with her family even as it falls apart over her radical activism.
