This is the second time that CNN...
...has mentioned freerepublic.com and not democraticunderground.com in there online reporting. Frankly, holding counter demonstrations to a grieving mother is down right brutal in my book. However, CNN and other MSM sources have yet to mention the actions of the DU and its members. I was just in Thousand Oaks (CA) to see a demonstration yet there were no news media to speak of covering it.

Cindy Sheehan is a hero to all Americans. To say that she has an "agenda" is down right TRUE! She wants to protect all the sons who are on foreign soil. Is that so hard to accept? She isnt anti-troop. She's against a war that is unjust! Either justify the war, or get the troops out of harms way! And if you dont want to pull them out, then at least give them the tools to do the job. Not only armor them, but give them proper support when they come home! Too many of my friends wake up to nightmares after their tours of duty. Putting a TOW missile through a truckload of women and children can do that to you!

To all those who demonstrated tonight when I wa at work, I thank you. To those who counter demonstrate and destroy WAR MEMORIALS with your pickup trucks, I damn you to hell!

1. I think it's pretty sad
that CNN has nowhere to go but a very loony and hateful site like freerepublic to get something to "balance" out their reports on Sheehan.

2. The only recourse we have to turn these corporate pigs is
to hit them in the wallet. Stop buying except for the basic essentials. Try to buy Blue or local. If enough people do this , it will have an impact. I have been doing this for quite awhile and it becomes easier once you get used to it. CNN sucks anyhow. Not worth watching.
