Fox & Friends sleaze on Cindy Sheehan 8/19 (Cindy and the blind cleric)! [View All]

[skip fox]

Early this a.m. I heard Brian Kimeade on Fox and Friends say that Cindy Sheehan supported the blind Islamic cleric jailed on the charges of the earlier bombing of the WTT (1993), and that it was her who was trying to get the cleric-terrorist's "hate-filled speech" out to the rest of us. I've never heard this before, but I'll swear by it.

Interestingly, they won't even put it in writing. Here's what Kimeade has on his blog this afternoon:

I am amazed at the media frenzy around Cindy Sheehan's . . . quest to talk again with President Bush about the loss of her son in Iraq. Casey, her son was killed in April and soon after she met with and was quoted to have been happy with the president’s attitude as he offered her condolences. Now, she is making her stay in Crawford a huge vigil to pull the troops out of Iraq. It’s causing her family, including her grandmothers, aunt and godmother, to say she is using her son’s death to fuel her anti-war agenda and gain promotion. Other grieving parents have lined up against her saying it sullying their kids’ service to run down the cause. . . .

Is this a new tactic? Smear someone on a broadcast and then never put it in print? They can trot it out on Friday and then hammer it all weekend (with few investigative sources like Franken's to rebut) and by Monday it will sound like common knowledge.

Are we getting had right now??
