RW attack on Cindy-- she's a 'tragedy pimp' NOT a 'tragedy slut'
Beck apologized for calling her a slut; said she was really a pimp. And explained why a pimp was morally worse than a slut.

In less than 5 minutes, Glenn Beck was intensely focused on smearing and discrediting Cindy.

As others have said, obviously a nerve has been hit and there is an intense drive to discredit her. It's interesting and predictable that the focus is on discrediting the messenger and that there is no attempt to discuss or even discredit the message.

Clearly, in order to discredit the message you draw attention to the message, and in bushco world NO attention can safely (for them) be turned to the message of questioning the war.

17. That Cover should read "Our President's Nuts."
My goodness. Nice outfit. Some people say Jeff Gannon gifted him with that harness..

2. every attack is getting more and more ridiculous.
and it really shows. They're really trying to break down the moral brick wall that Cindy represents.

Desperation is showing. Truly and sickeningly pathetic.

12. Vicious attacks only prove damage Cindy is causing Bush cartel...
Cindy is bullet-proof in case you haven't noticed? - Kimbaugh-Hannity have put a dent in her regardless of name calling etc. these people (repukes)can't sour this icredible woman for standing up for what she believes in, she just happens to have countless millions who agree with her.

And even more desperate and stupid, that jerkoff who decides to run over the crosses symbolizing those killed in Iraq-Afganistan is another sign of pure ignorance.

3. I find it so odd that the hard right doesn't seem to get that.....
...they could be using this moment to hitch their bandwagons to the moderate/center-left and distance themselves from B8shCo and his attendant falling approval rating.

4. gosh they are SO clever!!!
always thinking of a new and better way to call someone a name or insult them rather than talk about an issue.

Hey hey hey Glenn Beck, here's an idea: why don't you just stand up, fold your arms, and make a FACE at her!!! Now that would just blow them away. Almost as much as choosing between calling her a slut or a pimp. grow up.

BREAKING: VERBATIM RESPONSE FROM GLENN BECK: "neener neener la lalalalal a I can't hear you go away I can't hear you . . ."

5. Hopefully Cindy can keep her chin up from the mudslingers of our
American society. Remember, these are the same people that slander everyone to pump up Bush's war and not ONE of them has any vested interest in the war other than profit. The only person who can say anything worth listening too against Cindy is someone that's lost their child in the same war, otherwise, the right wing radio sluts can shut the fuck up.

6. I think it's backfiring on them...
...they've reacted with smears so many times with so many people from all over the spectrum (Paul O'Neill, Richard Clark, Joseph Wilson, John Kerry--just for starters) that the public is finally getting tired of it.

Plus, Cindy Sheehan isn't some public official or policy bigwig, she's an ordinary American mother whose son was killed while he was wearing our country's uniform. Slandering her only makes decent folk (the vast majority in America, when all is said and done) sympathize even more with her.

8. Maybe after the dust settles
Cindy could consider running for office, they'll have aiready claimed everything they can about her, what would be left-she got grounded when she 15 for staying out too late?
Suppose they'de try to make an issue out of that too.

10. Just watched CNN
They said Bush's approval rating was 34%! I'm sure they were referring to the approval rate on his handling of Iraq. And they tied this to the attention Cindy is getting.
