'Down with the US!'

[Byzantine Prince]

LOL (http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/01/29/chavez.sheehan.ap/index.html)

Cindy Sheehan? I thought the administration executed you already. Damn empirialist dogs. :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

[Redleg]

Typical political rhetoric from Chavez.

[wolftrapper78]

I just want to know, when will Cindy Sheehan stop disrespecting her son's sacrifice?

[Strike For The South]

oh these people are true rebles:juggle2:

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Well, RED, once you accept that the USA is nothing less than the source of all evil and the political embodiment of the seven deadly sins, the rest of Chavez' stuff coheres pretty nicely. From that perspective, of course, Cindy Sheehan is nothing less than a peace-activist version of Paul, founding the new belief that will sweep away the ills of the past.








:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

[Lemur]

You got your Chavez in my Sheenan! No, you got your Sheenan in my Chavez!

[Redleg]

You got your Chavez in my Sheenan! No, you got your Sheenan in my Chavez!

I don't think Chavez whould touch Sheenan with a ten foot pole. :shame: :oops:

[Ice]

Down with the U.S. empire!"

Empire? Somone one really does need a lesson in government and history.

[Seamus ó Cruadhlaoic]

Ten-foot Poles would do well in the NBA.

[Byzantine Prince]

I don't think Chavez whould touch Sheenan with a ten foot pole. :shame: :oops:
It looks like he is touching her in that picture. This could be the beggining of a beautiful relationship.

:inquisitive: :inquisitive: :inquisitive:

I wonder though, what exactly will become of all of this, will the US put sanctions on Venezuela?

[Roark]

How dare this woman object to "compulsory freedom" and "regime improvements" enacted by the US Government...

Isn't she aware that the U.S. Government invariably knows what's best for the world?

Perhaps she needs to be despatched to a re-education resort to learn more about Patriotism.

:dizzy2:

[wolftrapper78]

She should excercise her rights and leave the country that she hates so bad.
I for one won't lose any sleep over it.

I recommend: Vegas.

[AntiochusIII]

I recommend: Vegas.What? Why?

What's wrong with Vegas?

[Papewaio]

CSI?

A DNA or cup of coffee... in CSI land you start making your cup of coffee, walk away power up the DNA machine, drop in sample, get answer, walk back to the espresso maker and wait for the coffee to stop pouring. :laugh4:

[Xiahou]

It's pretty sad to see what lengths she'll go to to try to recapture the media spotlight....

OTOH, I think Fienstein can officially now stop worrying about Sheehan running against her- she wouldnt stand a snowball's chance after this.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I don't know. I read Feinstein's base is the extreme left and-considering that it's the extreme left of California-just might lap this stuff up.

I don't see why continuing media attention is paid to Sheehan. It's almost as though she's a public relations self-perpetuating phenomena.

Crazed Rabbit

[Xiahou]

Well, what I should say is she need not fear Sheehan winning. I hope she does run- with the liberal base split it might leave the door open for a Republican candidate. :idea2:

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Rosado accused the United States of killing her husband, a 72-year-old militant independence activist.

Unfortunatly, if it was an American seperatist in Venezuela, Chaves would have killed him and eaten him for dinner.

Ever notice how all politicians named Chaves suck? I mean, really. First Cesar, now Hugo. They're all the same. Bloody Reds. And the history textbooks say we won the cold war.

[Devastatin Dave]

Poor little attention whore, I guess dancing on her son's grave for attention will only get you so far. Maybe she can go on the reality show like Galloway. I think she would represent the republic of Kalifornia perfectly. You go girl!!!:2thumbsup:

[Don Corleone]

I'm actually quite afraid.... what if Hugo & Cindy did the horizontal mambo while she was down there and we have a little Hugo or Cindy on the way....~:shock:


He asked me why I didn't run for President. I just laughed and laughed. See! Foreplay! :knuddel: :kiss:

[Devastatin Dave]

That little bastard would have hooves.:laugh4:

[Spino]

This is a pretty pathetic move by Chavez. Cindy Sheehan's initial plight (death of her son in Iraq) generated a generous amount of sympathy from her fellow Americans but her manic, attention whoring shenannigans that followed only seemed to win over the hearts and minds of the American media and the radical anti-war left.

But more importantly... look at that shirt Chavez is wearing! I used to think Chavez was a Dictatorial Master of the Funk but no longer! Anyone who wears a shirt like that is indeed a funk free, soulless individual.

[Goofball]

Wow. I never would have thought that the figure who attracted the most hatred and personal, juvenile attacks from the conservatives among the Org would be an American mother whose son died fighting for his country.

You can say what you want about Ms. Sheehan's methods (which I also disagree with, mainly because they are not effective tools of protest), but I believe that what we have here is a mother who is frantic with rage and grief over what happened to her son. She needed somebody to blame and chose (arguably quite correctly) George W. Bush. While she has definitely not gone about her protest in the most effective way, I don't believe any of her detractors are correct in their accusation that she is motivated by a need for personal fame.

But whether or not you agree or disagree with me, the next time you are calling her an attention whore, or musing comedically about her having sex with a world leader, or telling her she should just "leave the U.S. if she doesn't like it," remember one thing: Cindy Sheehan has already paid a higher price than most (if not all) of you will ever be have to pay for Bush's little adventure in Iraq.

Think that over the next time you tell yourself you are doing your part because you have a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on your car, or because you argue poetically "in support of the troops" in an online gaming forum.

[Kanamori]

Nobody was denying her right to speak, only that what she has to say is rubbish.



What a crazy old windbag; you'd think the conservatives would be cheering the attention she's gotten. She makes liberals in general look as crazy as her.:dizzy2:

Edit: Her drivel has been covered a lot in the states, and it is the worst rhetoric out there.

Most here know I'm generally pretty liberal, but nothing churns my stomach more than war protestors who spew this stuff as if it is convincing, if you're going to argue something, at least bother to back up claims that the President is a terrorist.

I hate walking by those signs in front of Parliament telling people to stop the infanticide and evil empire in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Goof, save your thoughtful and genuine though misplaced outrage for somebody who actually deserves it. She's on record on a blog during the 2nd hurricane, the one that hit Galveston saying "Dammit all! Why won't they cover my rally! It's just a stupid storm! They can give airtime to both of us for crying out loud". That was when she lost any and all credibility and respect with me.

Yes, she lost her son at war. And yes, 'if' she was your normal mother, that probably hurt a lot. But there's been a lot in her behavior over the past 9 months to suggest that far from a personal tragedy, she has seen her son's death as her ticket to the bigtime. There's so many contradictions around the woman, I hardly know where to begin. Trust me, save your honorable, though misplaced, chivalry for somebody who deserves it. She does not.

You may be right about her wanting publicity whenever she can get it. But my belief is that she is motivated by anger at Bush and grief over her son's death, and sees fame/publicity only as a tool for furthering her own cause. As I said, I also believe that she still hasn't learned the lesson that most children figure out by age 12 or so: that any attention is not necessarily better than no attention at all, but that still doesn't make her deserving of the hatred that is poured on her.

And it wasn't outrage or chivalry (I'm a lefty Don, you should know that none of us have any chivalry in us)~;) that motivated my earlier post, but nausea mixed with a little sadness.

So its perfectably acceptable to you that members of the far left can make baseless comments about people on the far right? Because I distinctly remember a certain member of this august body doing just that to other members.

Edit: By the way, its not necessary to answer since the question and statement are purely rhetorical in nature.

[Don Corleone]

You do know that the spent the first year and a half after he son's death singing the president's praises, right? She only turned into 'grieving mother' after she learned she wouldn't be receiving a personal audience with the president as she thought she was going to. Michael Moore promptly latched onto her and the rest, as they say, is history.

You're right, my off color joke may not have been in the best taste. Yet, as ugly as you may have found my comment, I find her exploiting her son's death for fame, an act her entire family (her own parents included) have repudiated and disowned her for, equally tasteless and vulgar.

[Xiahou]

I felt sad for her for awhile, seeing how liberal extremists were exploiting her and her loss to score political points. But, she's since used up virtually all of her sympathy with her irresponsible and offensive comments since then. You can only let someone spew such venom for so long before you have to speak up, regardless of their circumstances.

When she really lost it for me was before the hurricane comments, when in a 'townhall' meeting Sheehan told a pregnant woman (who disagreed with Sheehan) who had lost her husband in Iraq, that she'll have to explain to her child that her father died for nothing.... Then were the hurricane comments, ect.

If she wants to be treated with sympathy and respect she should've treated the losses of others similarly.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I don't care if she stalks Bush for the rest of his life with questions about her dead son. But getting into bed with Chavez is a sign of poor judgement.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I agree. I would also find hopping in bed with Chavez to be....distasteful.

Well I hear he's quite the lover. On a more serious note, I'd vote for her.
