[redacted]

UPDATED: 9:41 pm PDT August 10, 2005

CRAWFORD, Texas -- It's been nearly one week since a woman protesting the war that took her son's life began camping on a road near President George W. Bush's ranch.

Cindy Sheehan's vigil has pulled at many people's heartstrings and stirred anger in others.

Sheehan, 48, from Vacaville, Calif., says she's surprised at the overwhelming response, but that people upset over the war just want their voices heard.

2. Cindy is like those Fishmongers wives who brought down King Louie

initiating the French(oops) The Freedom Revolution.....by storming the Bastille.

In this case....Cindy shows Bravery, Intelligence, Wisdom, Heart, Emphaty, Love, Concern, etc etc.....all the things Bush is Lacking....

6. Don't forget patience, another attribute she has.

13. Very well said.

A rather stark contrast of personality types. " .... all the things Bush is lacking" sums it up so well.

3. Why the hell is some moran from FR quoted in this tiny article?

But Kristinn Taylor with FreeRepublic.com says Sheehan's protest is misguided and is hurting troop morale.

What does what Kristin Taylor/freeperville have to do with it? Doesn't Kristin think tours being extended indefinitely hurts troop morale more directly than a bereaved mother asking the President to answer her questions honestly? And since NBC gave the FR web address, why don't they also provide the link to Cindy's Gold Star Families site?

Geebus, what a load of stink from GE Defense Contractor-owned NBC.

4. Oh dontcha know....

Those freepers know the military, nearly all of them have lost people in this war!!!!! :eyes:

Like, their pinky, thumb, and index finger on the remote...That includes just about everyone. :rofl:

5. We keep seeing that quote pop up everywhere

I must conclude it's another cut and paste job based on AP article.

7. I think we should start collecting some quotes from

our 'friends' at the freakrepublic to send to news organizations that quote freepers. If they knew what kind of ignorant, bigoted, hate filled idiots they were using as source they may not do it anymore.

8. So how many politically motivated protests has Kristinn staged?

Dozens if not hundreds. The only problem is nobody ever goes to his protests.

Kristinn and the DC Freepers are the jerks who stood outside 'Monica's Gate' every Saturday for years protesting Clinton.

They are the same jerks that has tried to stage numerous Support the Troops/Pro Bush Rallies that always have more port-o-potties then people show up.

So the M$M quotes this asshole as someone with some credibility. Yet no mention anywhere of DU ever. Give me a break.

Here's Kristinn kissing his 'boyfriend'.

11. Kristinn Taylor is hurting troop morale

If he can say it, so can I.

What the hell does he know about troop morale?

Maybe he ought take his able bodied self over to the local recruiter's office and sign up. He and his ilk can give the troops a morale boost by giving them a break and let them come home to their love ones.

From what I've seen and read, many, many in our military are awed by the stand this one loving mother has taken.

Kristinn why aren't you willing to walk your talk and fight in this president's war? Maybe then you can discuss troop morale.

12. Nice Of Them To Proved A NAME! Use It How You Will!

I love when little bits of info like this float around, Never know how it may be used!

Hi Kristen!:evilgrin:
