I just heard John Gibson on Falafel Bill's show, and I am so riled up. He started out playing Bush's press conference where he talks about Cindy Shee-HAN and that he understands her right to her opinion and that he gets all kinds of opinions.
Then, Gibson ramps up his attack on Sheehan and follows the playbook laid down by Drudge, Malkin and Anal Vibrator Boy - that Cindy has been "consumed" by those far left types, like MoveOn, Michael Moore, Code Pink and those "gray-bearded long haired men who've been wearing those same T-shirts with doves on them for the last 40 years - always antiwar". He made sweeping generalizations based on where Sheehan is from (between San Francisco and Sacramento) "near Berkeley!" - basically calling everyone in that region radical leftie peaceniks.
[More outrage follows after the fold...]
I am so pissed. He started shouting towards the end of his rant and interspersing his spittle-laced diatribe with repeated samples of 911 calls on 9/11.
"Does Bush have to meet with each and every one of the 1800 families who've lost loved ones? Do they ask to meet with Osama Bin Laden? With Saddam Hussein? With the insurgents who killed her son? With Prince Bandar or Turkiye Al Faisal or the Saudi families who sent their kids to fight as insurgents in Iraq?"
What a complete tool of a brownshirt. Somebody needs to send his ass over to Iraq for a dose of reality. How dare he attack the mother of a dead soldier, whose son died for a lie? How dare he try and demonize her for getting the solidarity and support of organizations who've been courageous enough to oppose Bush? How dare he imply that she's being used or that she's not being genuine?
Answer this - does he have kids old enough to fight? Time to put up or shut up, Gibson, you yellow prick! You shill! You sonofabitch!
You've crossed the line, asshole, and we aren't sitting by while you Swift Boat this saint.
The revolution has begun.
