53. I think this is an indication that the standard Bushie smear job on Cindy
might well backfire on them worse than they can imagine. And wouldn't that be lovely.

In the meantime, read the strong positive articles on Cindy Sheehan in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times (the same Maureen Dowd column also ran under a different title in the Houston Chronicle and who knows where else). The LA Times article was very prominent and a long article that was classified as US NEWS, not an op/ed by a designated "liberal." Both the NYT and the LAT articles are well worth reading. You'll love the Maureen Dowd editorial on Cindy.

Here's a thread with the LA Times article in the opening post and links to other articles, including the NYT one, in the replies:

Thread title: LA Times:"Mother's Protest at Bush's Doorstep Raises the Stakes" GOOD!!!

The Wash Post article on Sheehan (also linked to in that thread) is so-so, but not an outright attack like the Atlanta one.

So overall, looks like tht Atlanta writer is in a minority. We should write more letters to that editor and make sure that the freepers can't change that situation.

Thanks for this.
