Sheehan shirking taxes why again?

I am a man and I understand. I would be interested as well to know the reason for the question and why it was asked.

I'm only surprised it took so long for the smearing of Cindy Sheehan to begin. They're off their game these days obviously. Smearing critics is what the Bush Administration and the Republicans do these days. No effort is made to engage in a debate on the issues, just smear those opposing. The same thing happens here. Smear the critics. It's a mindset now.

Standing by for smearing :wink:

Could you please give an example of what smearing has taken place?

Do you not know the difference between criticizing her motives and criticizing the person?

Limbaugh made a good point. The left has turned "Camp Casey" into a joke of what the mother intended. It is the anti-war groups with the approval of his mother who have done this no one else. When she makes statements that she has made about the war and the Bush admin she only lowers the seriousness of her situation. The only difference between Casey's mother and the rest of the anti-war groups is that she lost a son. Other then that she isn't any different in her words or her actions. She has said the same things that have been said by many on this website. She calls the same names and uses the same talking points.

She had he shot to meet the President and say what she wanted. She messed it up and wants another chance. Sometimes you only get one chance and if you miss it you won't get another. Have you ever seen Ace Ventura Pet Detective? Laces out Dan!!!!

Haven't been drinking, have been at work. It's a fitting analogy for the situation.

Horowitz, the former left-wing zealot who is now a right-wing zealot, described the woman who has camped out near Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch as "hateful," accused her of dishonoring the memory of her son and promised that if Sheehan and other anti-war activists succeed in bringing an end to the occupation of Iraq then "rivers of blood" will flow in the streets of America.

From the August 17 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

LIDDY: Well, I think that it's true that there are Americans who feel the way Cindy Sheehan does. Unfortunately, they are Americans who are very anti-Israel and, in some ways, anti-Semitic. She uses the term how the "neocons" are doing this thing -- that's code word for "the Jews in the Pentagon." She has made statements such as --

ALAN COLMES (co-host): Are you calling her anti-Semitic?

LIDDY: Yes. If she gets Israel out of Palestine, then we can get out of Iraq. I mean, check out her statements, she's way out there.

COLMES: Cindy Sheehan's anti-Semitic?

LIDDY: Yes.

COLMES: That's outrageous.

SEAN HANNITY (co-host): It's outrageous what has been said.

ELEANOR CLIFT (Newsweek contributing editor): That is almost not worth responding to.

LIDDY: Look at her statements. Look at her statements and judge for yourself.

CLIFT: Look at your statements.

Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh equated the actions of Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, with those of Bill Burkett, the retired Texas Air National Guard officer who provided CBS' 60 Minutes with unauthenticated documents regarding President Bush's National Guard record. Sheehan is currently staging an anti-war protest outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Limbaugh said that Sheehan's "story is nothing more than forged documents."

Sheehan's "story" is, in fact, that her son died while fighting in Iraq. A Humvee mechanic, Spc. Casey Sheehan was one of seven U.S. soldiers killed in Baghdad's Sadr City on April 4, 2004, by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.

From the August 15 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it. It's not real. It's nothing more than an attempt. It's the latest effort made by the coordinated left.

Apparently Baldimo missed this:

"They're a bunch of **** hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.

"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We're waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"

In a conference call with antiwar bloggers last week, Sheehan said that without the Internet America "would already be a fascist state."

....there are plenty of Bush supporters claiming Cindy has no cause to take the position she has and to do what she is doing. In that sense, they said she didn't have the right to protest.

Are you assuming to know what people are thinking? No one has said what you claim but you are going to guess at what they mean instead of looking and reading the words they use.

Have you ever heard of Michael Gallagher? He has been supporting military families for a very long time. He always has donations added to his "Gallagher's Army" funds and he then donates all of the money to military families.

This is a smear? Did you miss her comments of:

We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We're waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush

I challenge you, Baldimo, to find this quote from a reliable news source:

Quote:

BTW Baldimo, the allegation is that Cindy made this comment at San Francisco State (a college 5 minutes from where i live) I have not found a single reliable source to confirm this statement. I have spoken to a dozen people who heard the speech. No one remembers her syaing that. the quote comes from a David Horowitz website, not exactly a reliable source.
