I'm so pissed about this, I'm not sure where to begin. So let me give you the money quote from the AP article about Cindy.
Kristinn Taylor, spokesman for FreeRepublic.com: "Her politics have hurt a lot of people, including the troops and their families, but most of us who support the war on terror understand she is hurt very deeply," Taylor said Tuesday. "Those she got involved with in the anti-war movement realize it was to their benefit to keep her in that stage of anger."
Really, Kristinn?
So how about a list? How about a list of all the people Cindy Sheehan has "hurt" by challenging the lies used by Bush, and SUPPORTED BY YOU, KRISTINN TAYLOR - can you produce such a list, or are you, as I highly suspect, simply talking out of your ass?
Cindy's politics have not hurt ANYONE, whereas YOUR politics, Kristinn, have hurt LOTS AND LOTS of people.
Oh, wait - sorry. I forgot. Iraqis are no more people to you than are immigrants. Isn't that right, Kristinn? So by the math used in Free Republic Land (aka Bushworld), the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead or mutilated by the neocon war machine you so blindly support WERE NOT HARMED?
Puh-lease.
Kristinn Taylor, spokesman for FreeRepublic.com, which has held pro-troop rallies and counter-protests of anti-war demonstrations, said dwindling crowds at Sheehan's Crawford protests since her initial vigil may have led to her decision. But he also said he hopes she will now be able to heal.
So Cindy was just in it for the personal attention? You Freepers just don't pay attention, do you? And now, you hope she will be able to heal?
You've never lost a thing, never paid a price, never sacrificed anything for anyone, have you, Kristinn? You think that being out of the "limelight" will allow Cindy to magically heal from losing her son to the lies YOU HELPED PROPOGATE? If you'd ever lost a thing, Kristinn, you would understand the sheer stupidity of that statement. There is no "healing" for Cindy - not ever. There is only dealing with the pain while attempting to live her life. Your ignorance is shameful, Kristinn, if you so "innocently" believe this wonderful woman will ever "heal" from the loss of her son.
As to the "dwindling crowds" you speak of - are you sure you didn't mean your own crowds? And once again, your suggestion that Cindy is doing this for her own ego, for the attention it garners, again shows your unbelievable ignorance. Cindy gave a lot more to stop this war than you have ever given to keep it going.
I wish I understood why the AP reporter thought you would have anything cogent to add to this story. You, and the rest of the die-hard 28% of this country who believe in Bush's lies, who hunger for death and destruction (just not your own, of course), who live FOR THEIR FEARS, who have no semblance of COURAGE whatsoever, are completely CLUELESS about the truth of Cindy Sheehan, the war, and the very real COST IN LIVES.
Guess I shouldn't be too surprised, though. You, Kristinn, and the media at large, are both equally culpable for the loss of Casey Sheehan, for you chose your own selfish fears, rather than truth. You chose to support lies over facts, emotion over reason, and in the process, spent your own humanity - just so you could feel "safe."
How's that workin' out for you, Freeper? Because you sure still sound SCARED, to me...
