ROFL !!<br><br>well here's my letter to the AJC about a dumbass who called her a traitor.<br><br>"Jimmy Hall’s condemnation of Cindy Sheehan for wanting to face Bush about her son’s death was totally irrational saying she was a traitor giving aid to the enemy. That kind of insane reasoning was responsible for 58,000 deaths in Vietnam. It essentially says though the war effort is broken and disfunctional, sit down and shut up while we needlessly send more young to their deaths (because we don’t have any other plan). That is a real principle of democracy to show the world.<br><br> If anyone aided the enemy, it was GW Bush. He sent too few good Americans to Iraq, without the proper equipment, and with no plans how to get the job done. Even years later they are lacking in proper equipment and enough support. If anyone is to be called traitorous, the President should be first. He misled us all to get us into this quagmire even after all the warnings from our former allies, and many others who questioned the dubious intelligence from the beginning. Now we’re stuck; we have no flexibility to deal with Iran or N. Korea; and Osama Bin Laden, the real 9/11 master mind, is still free to threaten us. Bush has failed us on numerous fronts including the waste of billions of tax payer’s money on his foreign policy fiasco, the worst since Vietnam and Iran Contra.<br><br> Kudos to Cindy Sheehan; she is exercising her first amendment rights. As Maureen Dowd said in an accompanying column, Bush says he‘s a populist but he never meets ordinary people. Here’s your chance Mr. President, if you have as much guts as this woman has"<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

Developing ... Drudge has jumped the shark. He is really showing his true colors reporting this.<br><br>He edited his story by taking out the godmother's name... but he left the original time stamp on when he posted his story. Is that common for journalists to do that? Sounds unethical to me. <br><br>Some have claimed he's not a journalist. Then what is Matt Drudge? Not commentary. More than a news portal because he's writing his "Developing..." headline stories that news agencies, commentators and pundits, and the whole online world of blogs and forums are using for reference. He dates it, cites sources and everything else that a journalist does... except the honesty doodad.<br><br><br><br><br><br>

That's weird. I went back to Matt112's post and the godmother reference is gone too. Maybe we just dreamed it.<br><br>I guess that is what the benefit of .... Developing ... is. you can "report" anything you want and come back and add and subtract, leaving the byline date as is. <br>This is fraudulent. Someone reading a dated story expects the story to be created when the date occurs. Real reporters get their ass kicked for less.<br><br>

... from Cherie Quarterolo, Casey's aunt and godmother:<br><br>It's in Matt's post, her name was deleted on Drudges current post.<br><br>Pretty bad move to edit out the author of the "email" and not give any indication of it. Some blogs are stating that this person is fictitious... that the story is bogus. Facts, we need facts!<br><br><br><br>

Her family is saying...<br><br><br>Sheehan just said on Olberman's show that the letter is from her in-laws, rightwing ultra conservatives who she has always been in confrontation with over politics. The aunt is an in-law who she rarely ever talks to, criticizing publicly the mother of the dead soldier. Pathetic, but maybe they are hoping for a book deal.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Funny both you and Bryan use the same trick to introduce information which portrays a mother's grief as not really all that sincere.<p><hr></blockquote><p>No I didn't. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>A mother's grief is a mother's grief.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Correct.

Can you point to where someone is "trying to belittle" a mother's grief of losing her child?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>A godmother should be listened to if she tries to shut the mouth of a mother's grief?<p><hr></blockquote><p>Is the family trying to "shut the mouth of a mother's grief?" <br><br><blockquote>The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving.

The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect. <br><br>Sincerely, <br><br>Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.</blockquote><br><br>Where?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I hope this kind of villainous bullshiit backfires on the likes of Drudge.<p><hr></blockquote><p>The email didn't come from Drudge, it came from the family of the fallen soldier.

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Sheehan just said on Olberman's show that the letter is from her in-laws<p><hr></blockquote><p>Right. Casey Sheehan's grandparents. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>rightwing ultra conservatives who she has always been in confrontation with over politics.<p><hr></blockquote><p>So Cindy Sheehan is an ultra-left-winger. Perhaps they shold've included this in their email? Oh no, no, no Gary. Let's let Cindy rip to shreds Casey's family and you can join in too because they speak out, saying Cindy Sheehan (their relative) is using the death of her son to advance her (now obvious) political agenda. Oh the nerve of those rat-bastard relatives!<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>The aunt is an in-law who she rarely ever talks to,<p><hr></blockquote><p>But sitll the Aunt of the slain soldier. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>criticizing publicly the mother of the dead soldier.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Openly speaking out against what they see is an exploitation of a now dead family member. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Pathetic<p><hr></blockquote><p>You're right. The liberal attack mode is pathetic. <br><br>* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br>I [censored] bigger than you.<br>
