Moron Cindy SheehanJeff Goldstein has an
interesting post on this. The letter from the Marine to Margaret Carlson is great, but I'm more interested in this part:
The left’s attempt to turn Sheehan into a martyr should not—NOT—be met with anything less than a barrage of accurate counterfactuals, including the constant publication and dissemination of her writings, speeches, etc., as well as a dispassionate and straightforward analysis of her attendants, handlers, and the rhetorical strategies they have adopted to push her narrative.He's responding to
this post:
The vehemence of the criticism aimed at Sheehan (who, as you can see is no political shrinking violent) is bound to have a backlash in some quarters. Why? Because this kind of massive effort in going after someone who takes on the administration has happened many times before. Rightfully or wrongfully, the image that's coming across is that if you cross the administration, whether you deserve it or not, you could get nailed to the cross. And that's the danger:The interesting thing about this is that it's really somewhat hard to find any "vehemence" in the criticism of Cindy Sheehan.
Let's take a look at Mrs Malkin's recent posts on this subject, since she's getting criticism for this.
Here's the
post where she notes the pending divorce of Cindy & Pat Sheehan. Is this vehemence?
Assuming this report pans out, it will be interesting to see if Cindy Sheehan continues to insist that she and her husband "are on the same side of the fence" with respect to her anti-war activism.Indeed, the
vehemence of
the criticism of anybody who dares criticize Cindy
is quite obvious.
