Smearing Cindy Sheehan By Accurately Quoting Her

Similar to the claims the left made that that very liberal judicial nominee in the late 80's or early 90's (whose name escapes me) was being "demonized" by having her own Law Review articles accurately cited as evidence against her claims of being a moderate.

Same deal with Cindy Sheehan. She's a barking moonbat but the left and the MSM (redundant, I know) don't want you to know that. And they get very upset when you accurately quote her most lunatic charges.

Among the questions she wishes to "raise:" "Mr. President, why did you kill my son?"

She also is a firm believer that Bush invaded Iraq to get control of its oil. In order to help make money for his "Republican buddies."

It's a curious thing on the left-- this belief that Republicans will do so much, including invading another country -- to "help their fatcat Republican buddies."

The old saying goes: "A friend will help you move. A best friend will help you move a dead body."

Time to add a bit to the saying: "And a Republican friend will not only help you move the dead body, they'll help you kill the sonofabitch in the first place, then lie to create a pretext for an illegal war, invade a country, threaten or kill all who oppose them, claim that the murder actually happened on the battlefield of the illegal war they created, and top it off by giving you big fat juicy no-bid contracts just because they like you so damn much."

Uh-huh. I wish my Republican buddies were like that. You think I'd be blogging if I had such friends?

Hell no. I'd be wrapping bodies in Persian rugs and making millions in oil futures.

It should also be noted that the AP engaged in more "Reverse Dowdification," the removal of key words from a quote in order to make the quote less offensive, as regards Cindy Sheehan. They quoted her as saying she was against her son Casey going to war, and would help him flee to Canada to avoid it; they helpfully omitted the part where she said she'd run him over with a car just to create a medical condition to help him evade service.

Just reporting the facts accurately, huh? Right. Conservatives are misquoted to make them look bad; left-lunatic-liberals are helpfully misquoted so as not to scare off the Middle American rubes, who might find fraud and faked car accidents a shabby and illegal method of getting a son out of his military responsibilities.

Sorry, no cite, but it's real. I had the cite and then I lost it.
