Sun times Mark Styen on Cindy Sheehan
"Does the writer have an email address?"

http://www.suntimes.com/output/steyn/cst-edt-steyn21.html

Cindy Sheehan's son Casey died in Sadr City last year, and that fact is supposed to put her beyond reproach. For as the New York Times' Maureen Dowd informed us: ''The moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute."

Really? Well, what about those other parents who've buried children killed in Iraq? There are, sadly, hundreds of them: They honor their loved ones' service to the nation, and so they don't make the news. There's one Cindy Sheehan, and she's on TV 'round the clock. Because, if you're as heavily invested as Dowd in the notion that those "killed in Iraq" are "children," then Sheehan's status as grieving matriarch is a bonanza.

2. He's a lunatic and a coward.
Andrew Greely publishes his email address with his columns. So does Mary Mitchell. styen is, apparently, too cowardly to receive emails from his readers.

george will is too skeered too.

The Douchebag of Liberty even publishes his address.

:mad:

4. In his picture
he looks too old to enlist and too young to have kids of an enlistment age.

In other words: He's talkin' out of his ass.

5. Steyn is a true moran
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 07:04 PM by ballabosh
This is a typical column from him: rambling and with no real point. He actually tries to blame the Sheehans' divorce on her actions in Crawford. Of course, he doesn't present any evidence.

The sad thing is the Sun-Times is supposedly our liberal paper with the Trib being more conservative. But the S-T has, along with idiot Steyn, editorials by Bill O'Reilly, Robert Novak and George Will. The weekly columns by Jesse Jackson can hardly counter that. The Trib does better with a weekly column from Molly Ivins.

6. just another tapeworm feeding itself in public....
steyn hit his stride when bill clinton was prez...mygod the hatred and relentlessness of his attacks! (and bill clinton was the most powerful man on earth...lol) ...steyn's bs has lost much of its cachet since geeb (brother of john ellis bush, or 'jeb' gettit?) became the bimbo of pennsylvania avenue; his complaining and raging and afflicting the afflicted etc has become but a drop in a vast ocean of righteous indignation aka the pigmedia (mainstream news media)
someday, steyn will be held accountable (btw he probably checks out DU, being a busybody with lotsa time on his hands and known to be well read and informed) if not on this world, the next one (which hopefully is the last btw)

8. Exactly where is Cindy not honoring Casey's service?
These fucking hacks are learning quickly that it's a lot easier to spin a woman in a persistant vegetative state than a Gold Star Mom.
